Unique place to stay in the San Louis Valley. Ample parking, clean and stylish lodging, nice bathrooms, and a fantastic community area/kitchen.
It is also close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. You can the mountains in all directions.

This place is brand new. The rooms were clean (brand new) and the community kitchen was also clean and new. There was an ice machine and dishwasher and fridge as well as a new range. The community bathrooms for the Yurts were new and spacious. We enjoyed the yurt and would stay again.

Really fun spot! We stayed in a yurt - the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and updated. The temperature control was quite tricky with the pellet stove. But overall, I would recommend!

Really enjoyed the drive-inn concept. Stayed in a steel master prefab unit. The interior was very well done with covered patio to take in the views of mountains in the distance.

I love this place! It’s in the middle of nowhere but that’s part of its charm. The rooms are so beautiful and comfortable.
The shared kitchen is awesome, especially because there aren’t really restaurants anywhere nearby…

Very fun stay! We stayed in one of the yurts. A lot more fancy than I was expecting. Very tastefully decorated with a great pellet stove that made it very cozy. The bath house was very clean and easy to access.
We would recommend this for a fun and unique experience that is a little off the beaten path.

Cool place. Nicely decorated. I had been initially worried about cold, but the suite was VERY warm and has radiant heat in the floor. My only suggestion would be to add a mini fridge in the suite.
