"The room was nice and cozy! The people are what made this stay so nice. Mike and his lovely wife created such an enjoyable, friendly atmosphere for everybody! Really enjoyed our stay in Cuchara! Haven’t been to such a friendly town in a long time, can’t wait to go again!"

"The kitchen was very clean, had everything (microwave, stove, oven, dishes etc. They have a fenced dog yard (small but there with doggy bags). I ended up not bringing my dog but he would have been fine there. The outside in winter other than the very nice deck, doesn't look that great with the yard etc, but inside was wonderful. I was worried about heat, it was very very warm and we ended up not using the wood stoves (two) because the propane heating in the living/kitchen area worked well (we kept it off most of the time). Crestone is small but cute and the restaurant, Food is Art was wonderful and people very friendly. Was disappointed that to get to Great Sand Dunes was over an hour away."

"What a wonderful place. Excellent Communication, clean, and plenty of relaxation. It has abundant wildlife for entertainment, abundant stars at night, and a comfortable feel as if you have been there for years. In case you're wondering, my 2019 lifted Ram fit in the garage, tight, yes, but fit. Deer came up to the windows and we found big kitty tracks so watch your fur babies. Will stay again. Dave and Amanda"

"Hot tub and geodome had amazing nightly views! So peaceful with lots of deer sightings. Plenty of towels and great to have a washer and dryer as well. "

"We had such a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in this space. There is beautiful natural light in the living room, beautiful views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, a cozy wood-burning stove, and lots of opportunities to stargaze in the hot tub at night. The kitchen is also incredibly well-stocked. We had everything we needed. Charley was so helpful and kind. Highly recommended!"

"It was clean with great instructions on how to keep this remote cabin working well. Even had coffee and cooking essentials available. Beautiful location. "

"The staff were so nice and the cabana was clean and roomy. The only thing to watch out for are the bugs that get inside, but that’s just because of the location and completely understandable. Also, dining options are about a 20 min drive, again due to its location. But just keep that in mind when planning your visit."
