The only demerit I have is: While, yes, the house is Minutes from the Great Sand Dunes, it's a good hour to get to the actual visitor center. The access they mention is to the back side of the dunes. Still amazing and let's you avoid tourist crowds, but my goal was to hike the tallest dunes which meant I had to drive to the other side.
We had a great experience and the managers were attentive to our needs. Cleaned and cozy and the fireplace was a huge plus. Only thing to note is although itâs close to the dunes as the crow flies it still takes about an hour to get to driving.
The house was very clean and it was in a great location by the mountains. We loved the quiet area. The hosts were in constant contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommended.
This little retreat is just as illustrated on the site. It is so peaceful and quiet in this location, and the views from the living and dining space is beautiful. The owners were gracious and communicative, and went out of their way to deliver two items we inadvertently left behind, for which we are so grateful! It was the perfect place for a short getaway to slow down, avoid screens and steep ourselves in peace and quiet.
The property was clean and well maintained, and the view from the back deck is gorgeous. There were a few minor things missing (pot holders, spoons), and the driveway is a bit rough to get in and out of, but overall a lovely place.
Itâs a drive to get to the house but well worth it. House is clean and furnished nicely. We cooked steaks and veggies on the stove and finished the night on the porch having a great time. Will recommend for people.
This home was well located in a nice neighborhood. Great location if visiting the sand dunes which is about an hourâs drive. Beds were comfortable. Beware in warm monthsâŠthe house gets VERY warm and did not cool down at night. Washer was smelly/mildewy, so we decided not to take advantage of that amenity. Overall, a good stay.
If you are looking to get away from it all, unplug, unwind, or just see the millions of stars, this is your place!
Being able to bring our 2 dogs with us was just the bonus we needed to book. The price, including all fees was reasonable and beat out other homes we looked into.
Ted communicated all the details we needed before we even left home. He answered questions in a timely manner. Everything we needed was provided! Board games, card games, soap, shampoo, appliances, cookware, even a washer and dryer.
15 minutes to 2 different grocery stores. 1 hour to the Sand Dunes or Alamosa if you need some bigger city items or entertainment.
This is an amazing property, a beautiful house with the most spectacular views from every window. Quiet, serene, the perfect getaway to relax and unwind. It was so nice, I hesitate to share how nice it is because I want to keep it as our family's little secret. :)
This property is exactly like the pictures, except the night sky viewing is SO MUCH MORE than a picture can show! The house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway, including anything you may have forgotten for your dog. Every detail has been thought of.
We enjoyed staying here!
The property was updated and well maintained. The windows are a major plus as they enable a fantastic view. Property opener was very responsive to our inquiries before arriving. All communication was timely.
We did have a difficult time with mosquitos. We were there the first week of July. Local merchants indicated this year was the worse they ever experienced. This difficulty had nothing to do with the property or the owner. It simply was an environmental inconvenience.
However, if you are planning to experience the Great Sand Dunes, there were zero mosquitos while sand boarding.
It was newly remodeled and they did a good job! Furniture was new and comfortable. The only suggestion is that the windows need to be washed. Thanks, you helped make a great weekend!
