I'll admit, this was my first time renting with VRBO and I'm not sure if I will again after this experience. Here's why I would never recommend this property, especially in the summer. The lack of air conditioning combined with the fact that the fan and skylight window in the upstairs (hottest) bedroom were broken made it pretty uncomfortable and it was noisy with all of the box fans. The view was beautiful and the fact that it's dog friendly is nice. However, when I presented my long list of complaints, I was told I would be given a 50 refund but then that was rescinded. The reason it was rescinded is because I failed to tell them we had a 5 pound Chihuahua in addition to the other two bigger dogs that I did tell them about. They wanted to charge me an additional 35 a night for the tiny Chihuahua. So instead of any refund, they waived that 35/night fee for the Chihuahua, which was nice I guess. In addition, if you are not Christian, the preachy religious art may not help you feel welcome. I took down the art for the duration of our stay, but it was not a welcoming first impression. When I told iTrip about my discomfort, they said the owner has every right to display faith based decor. Understood, but I think you missed the point. Pagosa Springs was beautiful and totally delivered but this property did not. I'll be back to this gorgeous area, but I'll stay someplace else.
