As close as you can get to Great Sand Dunes NP!
We had an amazing stay and were one of the closest homes to the park. House is very remote and secluded - I considered this a plus as we weren’t looking to go out to dinner, etc. Be sure to do your grocery shopping in Alamosa prior to arrival. Barb was super responsive and the home was clean and spacious. The back porch has perfect views of the mountains and sand dunes and the night sky is breathtaking with no light pollution! I highly recommend this if your looking for a quiet spot to get away for a few days to hike and explore the park!

Far from the madding crowds
The house was clean, uncluttered with well appointed art and comfortable furniture and it’s set in a very peaceful quiet location on the hilltop. Just stepping onto the porch and listening to the birds and wind slowed time and was very calming. Barb is a wonderful hostess and allowed an extra hour so we could shower after an early morning hike. This an excellent place for families who appreciate being in a safe quiet place away from shopping traffic and noise. Highly recommended and look forward to returning wife longer stay

AMAZING LOCATION
This very private property has the best views of the Sand Dunes and is only about 10 min from the entrance to the park. We loved sitting on the deck with a cup of tea each morning. There is plenty of room for 4 adults and the kitchen was fully stocked.
