Perfect spot to stay for visiting the sand dunes! Great view of dunes and mountains. Loved that it felt remote yet was in a gated community that gave the extra feeling of security.

This was SO close to the Great Sand Dunes! There are so many little, extra details that the owner put into the rental. It was pristinely clean & we felt so cozy. It’s a great location for night sky viewing, also. Super close to Zapata Falls.

Great Getaway at the Dunes!

This property is in a phenominal location to access Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Perfect Dune Stay!

We had an exceptional stay at this property, which truly exceeded our expectations. Its location is ideal, just ten minutes from the stunning Great Sand Dunes National Park. The house itself was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel both homey and inviting. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect retreat. We are so grateful to have experienced such a wonderful stay!

Such a wonderful stay in a lovely location. The linens were clean and soft, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the outdoor fire pit area was a hit for the family. The beds were soft and the pillows were plenty and lovely (coming from a pillow snob). 17 mins to the Sand Dunes. It’s so dark at night that the star gazing was amazing. We’ve already booked our trip back for next year!!

We cannot say enough good things about this property and the whole experience. Everything was clean, well stocked and very thoughtfully organized. We took advantage of all the amenities and it was such a treat to have such a comfortable place to stay near the dunes and Zapata Falls. We loved the quiet setting and the views. We feel completely recharged we will absolutely come again and again! Highly highly recommend.

Great Stay Near the Dunes

I can honestly say that this is probably the best overall experience we have had staying at a short-term rental and it is all because of the property owners! Everything was even better than described, expectations were clear, communication was amazing and they made it so easy for us to bring our pup with us on our family weekend. Not to mention it is on the main road to the Park, close to Zapata Falls and not so far from the other interesting attractions like the Gator Farm and UFO Watchtower.It was the perfect place for us and we will definitely rent from them again!

Sand Dunes

The getaway at the dunes was perfect for our family when visiting Sand Dunes NP. It was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Great view of the Dunes from the property. The owner was very responsive and helpful! We wish we could have stayed longer.

Quiet & Cozy Getaway

Our family wanted to visit the Great Sand Dunes, and this home was the most perfect place to stay! The home was super clean and well-stocked to cook meals. Clean and comfortable beds, and a fire pit to enjoy the view. The views are unbeatable and so quiet; it’s as close to camping as possible with all the home comforts. We will be back!
