Beautiful home in convenient location
I absolutely love this property. Great Sans Dunes National Park is a quick 10 minute drive up the road, which was the reason for our visit. What an easy drive!It was wonderful communication with Gail, she was so helpful and kind. She also has FRESH flowers in the home which you don't see anymore. The home was decorated beautifully and it was perfect for us. Everything was comfortable. I'd absolutely stay here again on my next visit!

Incredible Location
Had a tight agenda and wanted to stay close to the dunes. The sky and view were incredible. Beautiful, comfortable home. The check-in process was a bit tricky for us as were were late arriving due to travel delays. You must be let in to a gated community and escorted to the house which is a problem if you can't arrive at a reasonable hour, but well worth it!

Almost Perfect
We were all very happy with the property and the Host. We enjoyed beautiful views and comfortable accommodations. Just a few suggestions:
In smaller bedroom - drawer space, queen bed, something for hanging clothes in the closet.
In the kitchen - 12x16 inch rimmed baking sheet.

The Best Oasis
Barb's home was so comfortable. She put so much thought into every detail with more useful items than I would have thought to ask for. There were also fresh flowers that really put the cherry on top. The location can't be beat to enjoy the night sky and drive to Great Sand Dunes National Park. We loved stopping by Great Sand Dunes Oasis on the way to the park, but knew we were already at the best "oasis."

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!

Great Sand Dunes
The property had a great view and lots of privacy. The accommodations were comforting and relaxing with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Communications with the host were friendly and questions were quickly answered. We are definitely looking forward to a return.
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.
