Summary: Lovely, well maintained dune with amazing dune views! We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking pots and pans and utensils. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and enjoyed the fire!

Summary: This property is meticulously maintained, clean, and recently updated. The amenities are thoughtful, the decor tasteful, and the views unparalleled. You can tell that the owners put a lot of love into this cabin. While here (Nov), we went sledding on the sand dunes and visited the reptile sanctuary. I would love to explore the sand dunes more thoroughly. If we have the opportunity to do so, I would absolutely stay here again!

Summary: All four of us loved our stay at this beautifully appointed cabin home. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted with everything we needed to make great meals (there are no real restaurants close to this terrific home). The beds were super comfortable and the home was absolutely spotless (including the huge windows with incredible views). The expansive deck was perfect for taking in the breathtaking sight of the dunes at early morning, midday, dusk, .....and the night sky (SO DARK) offered up spectacular views of those amazing stars in the clear Colorado nights. The remote neighborhood felt very safe and so quiet! We can't really say enough about the ease of booking, communication, and the beauty of the home and surrounding area -- if you plan to visit the Great Sand Dunes, we believe this is the perfect home. You won't be disappointed. The place is exactly as described and you'll have a wonderful stay. We'll be back!

Summary: This was the perfect base for our time at the great sand dunes and zapata falls. We didn’t have much time so being right there was so helpful. And the property is adorable and well equipped. Highly recommend!

Summary: This house is in the perfect location for maximizing your time at the Dunes & Zapata falls. We especially loved the beautiful view of the dunes from the porch. As Texans, we were very concerned about having no AC in July, but we were plenty cool, even cold, every night. There are a ton of great touches in and around the house to help us enjoy our time there. The comfy mattresses in the loft were perfect for the kids. We will be back again for sure!
