Sorry no parties.
We all had a great time. We could all spread out. Kitchen was great for cooking.
Host very easy to communicate with. Prompt and helpful. House has great layout for people to spread out and awesome kitchen to prepare meals. We added an extra day to trip with ease since there was an opening. Would stay again if available
This is a great place
It is a great property located in a beautiful forested area. It is very conveniently located to visit the dunes, which was one of the major reasons that we chose it. The property is quite large so it made it convenient for our family to spread out and enjoy the area.
My family of 7 spent 2 weeks visiting national parks in Utah and Colorado. We stayed mostly in vacation rentals. This home in Fort Garland was our last stop on the trip. I didn't receive an address for the home until the night before and I was shocked at how far it was from the town of Fort Garland. I had picked it instead of options in Alamosa because I thought it was closer. The house is 20 minutes east of Fort Garland and 4 miles on a dirt road. It was 50 min to Great Sand Dunes and 50 min from a grocery store. Once I found out how far it was, I hoped it would be a very nice home, to make it worth the extra driving. The positives for this house is that it was clean and had lots of space for 7 people to spread out, but it is in no way luxurious. We stayed in several older homes on our trip, but they had all been totally redone and were top notch. This house needs a lot of work. It has no AC, lots of broken screens and windows that won't open due to broken handles. More than half of the kitchen light bulbs were burned out. Many light switches that didn't work. The entire upstairs bedroom electrical outlets didn't work. The toilet seat was broken on the main floor. The lower floor smelled musty. On the last night one of my daughters came upstairs and slept on the futon because there was an animal, probably a mouse, scratching in the wall of her room all night. This was the most disappointing home we stayed in on our trip. It could be a nice place, but it needs a lot of work.
We stayed here in order to visit the Sand Dunes and were happy with the accommodations. This lovely home is in a quiet, secluded area. The kitchen is nice and the beds are comfortable. It was a pleasant stay for our family of 15.
The house was very spacious and we were able to spread out. The weather was such that we spent a lot of time outside just enjoying nature even so. Any time I needed to contact the owner, I would get a response almost immediately. Highly recommend!!
If you are looking for someplace off the beaten path with AMAZING views and all the amenities, this is it! We had a mixed group (my husband and I with an infant, my dad, and our best friends). We had excellent space to spread out for relaxing and were not stepping on one another to get dressed to go out. Property access was well defined and user friendly.
A great place to stay with a group - large kitchen and multiple other common areas to spend time together in. We had 3 families staying together, including 6 kids, and the kids had such fun exploring, playing with the provided games, and watching movies at night in the 'theater loft'. Great for older kids (4 or 5+ depending on the child) & adults, and would be fine for non-mobile babies too. For busy toddlers this may not be an ideal rental due to large gaps in deck railings, lots of stairs inside & out, and some loose outlet covers. Communication with the host was great - he was very prompt & helpful with questions both before and during visit. We'd definitely stay again!
We had a great time at this property. Well-supplied kitchen and lots of toys for kids. Everything was clean and well cared for, and the caretaker was very responsive.
