    This was the perfect getaway for two people. Highly recommend this to anyone trying to get away from the busyness of day to day life and experience nature/quiet. It’s also an hour from the Sand Dunes, which is hard to beat.

    The cabin is small and comfortable in a great area. It IS on the minimalist side. There is no TV and no couch in the main living area. However the property manager was incredibly nice and brought us some things we requested right away. The surrounding area is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Very little traffic. The cabin is a 10-minute drive into town and there are lots of hiking trails near town. If you're looking for a quiet getaway to recharge this place is perfect,
