About this property

Dunes Rest

Enjoy some time away at our secluded Dunes Rest cabin. Incredible views of Great Sand Dunes National Park and the Sangre de Cristo mountains welcome you to this cozy getaway that has everything you need to relax and explore the San Luis Valley. Located a mere 4 miles from the entrance to the National Park, this cabin is ready for those seeking adventure as well as downtime—sipping a favorite beverage and enjoying the expansive views right from the deck.

This cozy cabin is rustic in nature but loaded with lots of amenities to make your vacation experience comfortable and convenient. There are two bedrooms, each with queen beds, and the loft has two futon mattresses for sleeping as well. Please note that the stairs to the loft are very steep. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics to cook your meals on-site.

Dry air, little light pollution, and high elevation (approximately 8,000') make Dunes Rest an excellent dark sky viewing location. This community is certified by the International Dark Sky Association. The stargazing is truly stunning!

The cabin is located in a gated community that does not allow open fires of any kind due to the risk of a wildfire. We have a zero-tolerance policy on smoking of any kind inside or outside the property.

The cabin is primarily heated by a propane fireplace in the living room operated by the thermostat. There is electric baseboard heating in the bedrooms and bathrooms as well. There is no AC, so it will be warm in the summertime, but open the windows at night and enjoy the cool nighttime temps.

Due to its remote location, there is currently no Wi-Fi available at Dunes Rest. Most cell phone providers receive one or two bars of service, but not enough to stream digital content. We invite you to disconnect and enjoy time away from your devices during your stay.
