The Drift

What guests think

At The Drift, guests praise the modern stand alone cabins for exceptional cleanliness, comfortable beds, and thoughtful design, while the riverside, walkable location near downtown and the hot springs stands out as a consistent highlight.

Shared perks like a landscaped courtyard with fire pit and grills, complimentary cruiser bikes, easy parking, and pet-friendly policies add convenience and a casual community feel. Check-in is contactless and staff are often offsite, but communication and owner responsiveness are frequently noted as helpful and friendly. A few guests mention small drawbacks such as a sliding bathroom door coming off track, strong cleaning product scent, or basic indoor seating. Expect a clean, well designed base with relaxed, low-touch service.

Pagosa Springs is a great town and The Drift was an amazing place to rest for 2 days. The individual units surround a courtyard with shaded picnic tables, a bbq grill, a firepit and bikes to ride along the nearby riverwalk. The hot springs are nearby and the you are in walking distance of shops and restaurant's. The room is well equipped and very comfortable.

These modern cabins are super nice, and are right downtown within walking distance of the river, a great local cofee shop, and all of the shops and restaurants along with the hot springs. There is a nice covered patio at the property as well as a gas fire pit with chairs in the courtyard between the cabins. Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay! The location is perfect—just steps from the hot springs and a short walk to the river walk. The space was spacious, spotless, and had everything we could possibly need. Super easy to access, with a clean, modern vibe throughout. The shared amenities were a huge bonus—grill, fire pit, and outdoor seating outside each “cabin” made it feel like a little community. Perfect for families and people traveling with dogs. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We rode out bikes to Pagosa Springs for hot springs and riding the million dollar hwh. The drift was awesome. New, clean. Code to get in was sent ontime. Very comfortable. Outside is a gas firepit and they provide bicycles. Price was reasonable. There are bunk beds also for kids. This gets a 10 star review. Walking distance to hot springs. Highly recomended.

The Drift was a rare hotel find. It was better than the pictures could have described. The place is kept up very well like its brand new. The grounds are clean and nicely landscaped. We had a few separate rooms or units and the picnic area was the perfect place for the family to sit together and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We stayed for the 4th of July, and it was like the fire pit area was setup just for that. Everyone staying there had a perfect view of the fireworks. We loved the units, they were fully stocked with everything we needed and the we loved the design touches. Having the bikes available was a great touch as well with the river bike path right next to the hotel. Of all the places to stay that we saw while in Pagosa Springs, we were lucky enough to have picked this place - it was just the best. We would love to go back!

OUTSTANDING! Everything about our stay at The Drift was top notch. Passing through Pagosa Springs on our way to Santa Fe from Mesa Verde, we needed a place to rest and relax for the night. What a gem this place is; we couldn’t have been more pleased. Well-planned and executed indoor and outdoor spaces made us feel safe and comfortable. The cabin was clean and tidy, with all the amenities we needed. Don’t hesitate to stay at The Drift! You’ll love it.

Location is great and the king/bunk bed combo room is perfect for traveling with kids. Easy walk down the path to the river, hot springs, and dining options. Only complaint is that the cleaning supplies they use are strong and the linens gave our skin a reaction. There’s a strong chemical smell when you first open the door. Other then that, it’s a great cabin concept with picnic tables and firepit area.

The Drift is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. Its vibe is laid-back yet stylish, and even though the staff works offsite, the owner’s father personally stopped by to check in on guests—a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel warm and welcoming. The Drift strikes that perfect balance of comfort and cool.

I especially liked the stand-alone units. It was very roomy, very clean and modern. The unit appears as it is shown in the pictures. It was close to the walking trail along the river and a few restaurants. There is no one onsite, but a entry code is provided at 12 noon on the day of check-in, along with a number if any issues. We would definitely stay here again.

If you're visiting Pagosa Springs, this is the place to be! This charming, family-owned establishment offers a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the shower – sparkling clean and a delight to use! During our stay, we enjoyed strolling around the area as everything is within walking distance. It truly added to the charm of our visit. A special mention goes to the owner’s father, whom I had the pleasure of meeting. He was wonderfully kind and welcoming. I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful place to anyone visiting Pagosa Springs!

The Drift is perfectly located in the middle of town and you are close to restaurants and shopping. The property is new and it is awesome. You have your own apartment and the facility is clean and well maintained. You have a grill you can cook on and an outdoor fire pit. You also have bicycles on the property you can use. I highly recommend The Drift and I will be staying there in November.

Fantastic location - right in Pagosa Springs and right on the river. Walkable to shops, grocery store, hot springs and restaurants. Very family friendly. The fire pit was a big hit! And the king bed had a great mattress! The two 11yr olds love the bunk beds. Will book again. Would be great place to come with groups of friends or family.
