Beautiful property with amazing views! Only thing that was a little disappointing was that in description of property, it mentions "15 minute drive" to Great Sand Dunes.
This is NOT a bad review. Just a suggestion that maybe that part gets edited, because I know some people that would be furious and would absolutely leave a bad review based on that piece alone!
I'm not sure if the 15 minutes is just to the North end via back roads or is just 15 minutes to be able to see them or just to hike, but to get to the visitors center at the south end/main entrance, its just over 1 hour away. We have small kids and weren't doing any hiking with them. We just wanted to see the Dunes for first time and experience Medano Creek, and the 15 minutes was a little misleading. We didn't research(our fault), and went by the description, because on the map it does look really close, and most National Parks we have been to have multiple entrances!
NOT enough of a disappointment, however, to give this property any less than 5 stars! Beautiful and "EASY" hikes for kids around Crestone and this property was so peaceful w/awesome views! ESPECIALLY THE STARS AT NIGHT! ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT OR POLLUTION FROM CITY! I grew up fishing from my front porch and now live in the city near Denver. A MUCH NEEDED QUIET AND RELAXING PLACE TO STAY WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS!
One of the best owners we have ever rented from as well! Reqched out before, during and after to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! WE DID!
