Dune View -Star Gazing Getaway

This 1100 sq. foot farm guest house has incredible indoor/outdoor views of the Sangre De Cristo mountains and Great Sand Dunes. Located only 24 miles from the Great Sand Dunes and its Internationally Designated Dark Skies star gazing is incredible from the deck. Located 1 mile from Colorado Gators Reptile Park and 9 min. from an indoor/outdoor Sand Dunes Hot Springs that's open year round. Other attractions include Zapata Falls, the Rio Grande River, 1 hour from Monarch Ski or Wolf Creek Ski.

From the living room and deck you have a view of the Sand Dunes. This place is located on a farm circle. Sometimes there are purple flowering potato plants and sometimes there are cattle on the circle depending on the farming situation. From the kitchen and primary bedroom windows or from the bench provided on the north side of the entry door, you can see the beautiful Colorado sunsets. Located not far from the international dark sky park the milky way can be seen with the naked eye on clear nights. A telescope is provided for those that want a closer look. The house is very well insulated so you will have a quiet and peaceful sleep.

A great place to stay for Great Sand Dunes National Park
The house is spacious and fit our family of 8 very comfortably. The stove and oven are not working very well. If you want to use the oven you have to have a burner on. Otherwise, it is a dark night sky, nice bathrooms, washer, dryer, well stocked. Very smooth check in and check out!

We stayed here just for a night as when we saw the Great Sand Dunes. The property was clean and nicely decorated, and was more spacious then I originally thought it would be. The small cooler helped to cool things down but was a little loud. When we had some issues with VRBO web site, the manager quickly communicated with us via texts.

Great place near Great Sand Dunes NP!
The owners of this rental have thought of it all. The house has everything you need to make your stay feel like home, from cooking utensils to a Keurig/coffee pot to shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathrooms. My husband even commented that the owners were great hosts! We would stay here again.

Although we were only here one night, we found the rental to be very tidy, spacious, and well taken care of. It suited all our needs for the night. I wish we could’ve stayed longer because the stars were truly amazing. We recommend this VRBO!

Perfect Stay!
This home was the perfect location for our visit to the Sand Dunes. The property is very well kept and even nicer than the listing in my opinion. There were many thoughtful details the host provided like sand toys, a first aid kit, and games for varying ages. There were even classic Nintendo games for us adults to enjoy! We felt very welcomed and are already planning our next visit!

This property was a nice place for down time after the day of adventuring. There was plenty of things to keep the kids busy. Also had some outdoor space which is always a plus. It was clean and comfortable.

Girls Weekend
We stayed at this property for one night, and our main plans were to spend some time at the Sand Dunes recreation pool. The location was perfect! We were a short ten minute drive from the pool, as well as numerous other attractions. The house was very well-stocked with cooking equipment, but also had many items for convenience like extra cell phone chargers and beach towels for the pool. It was very clean and quiet at night. The sunset view from the deck was spectacular!
