Perfect location for visiting Great Sand Dunes NP

Our family stayed at Archie's Place for 1 night while we visited Great Sand Dunes National Park. Bedroom with bunk beds was great for our teenage boys. Kitchen was decently stocked and beds were comfortable. Great view of mountains from the front porch.

Great house

House had everything you could think of. Kitchen fully stock, every condiment you could think of, pancakes were great, barbeque in back, Wi-Fi, charging cords for all of our different devises. The over supply of towels was really nice. The Rinnai water heater made sure that our group all had hot showers!
