Hello
We've run into multiple ones of these large, hairy leged, orange spiders.
Our house is in the mountains in Rincon, Puerto Rico
Any ideas of what this is?

It's a male huntsman spider (family Sparassidae); possibly in the genus Heteropoda. These also are known as giant crab spiders; they are not dangerous to humans.
