Summary: Very clean, great location, Cabin was as advertised!
R M. Nov 30, 2025 09:10:54 AM
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!
Sarah S. Nov 27, 2025 01:08:35 AM
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!
Margaret M. Oct 26, 2025 07:11:46 AM
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!
Christa E. Aug 5, 2025 09:37:47 AM
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!
Jaclyn A. Jul 19, 2025 02:33:49 AM
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!
Flynt B. Jul 16, 2025 09:57:06 PM
Summary: This property was great. The host communicated promptly and helped us plan our trip. The sunsets from the deck were some of the best we have seen!
Dawn L. Jun 20, 2025 12:12:04 AM
Summary: Location was perfect for our quick family adventure of the area. Beautiful view of the Dunes and the house had everything our family needed. Close to the park and Zapata Falls. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon.
Sue P. Jun 16, 2025 07:19:58 AM
Summary: This was a wonderful place to really enjoy the peace and quiet of the area! The proximity to Sand Dunes National Park was amazing. We loved the attention to all the detail that made the home amazing for all ages! My grandkids especially loved the "hobbit" trail to the swing area, the loft and lego bin. The kitchen had everything we needed and the barbecue came in handy! Last but not least, the view from the living area and/or deck directly looking at the dunes was priceless! I hope to be back next year!
Molly S. Jun 15, 2025 09:57:06 AM
Summary: We stayed for three nights in late May. House was clean and comfy with an awesome view of the Dunes. If you want to be close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and not camp, the Dunes Rest is a great option.
