"My family was able to enjoy staying at this house over the New Year’s period and loved the location. Views from the living room were breathtaking and would be hard to compete with anywhere in nature. The mule deer are all around the home at night and fascinating to watch in the crisp winter air. Honestly, being in the middle of nature in a comfortable house is unbeatable.
Our family spent our days between the local hiking trail (down the street) and Great Sand Dunes National Park. Going grocery shopping before you arrive in town is advised, but the local grocery store is extremely well stocked.
The house is a perfect location for any family wanting to have family time in a safe, upscale (but casual/relaxed) house that is clean, roomy, has a washer/dryer (a must for families), full kitchen, two full bathrooms, and three bedrooms. The main bathroom is the nicest and has a clean jacuzzi tub.
We plan to return in the future, which is the best complement one can make! The host was also super responsive in an 'only if you need it' kind of way, which was nice and made us feel like trusted guests. The house and location near sand dunes, mountains, snow, and grasslands were exactly what works for our family. I would love to be able to hike the Willow Lake Trail daily. Basking in the sunlight of the living room windows is ideal in winter after coming in from a chilly morning walk!
