Our house is on the property and part of it is visible from the camper. The side of the house that is closest to the camper is unoccupied as it is only used for storage. There is a yurt on the property that may be occupied during your stay. The yurt is about 150 feet from the camper and there are trees and other vegetation separating the yurt from the camper. The large parking area is used by occupants of the yurt and by occupants of the camper. Smoking is only allowed outdoors (by the fire pit ect.). Please let me know if you plan on smoking so I can leave a professional grade cigarette disposal unit at the site. ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96800000/96799300/96799206/w507h683x259y0-3b3c7fe5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Glamping yurt/tent, Fire Pit+Grill+Hammock+more, Great Sand Dunes Zapata - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available 9.0 Wonderful 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=96799206&PinnedHotelID=96799206&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78710000/78704700/78704686/cea17f34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene 2-Bed Crestone Cabin • Mountain Views • Modern Comforts • Dog-Friendly Crestone - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 28 reviews CA $175 CA $371 total includes taxes & fees Dec 29 - Dec 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-29&endDate=2025-12-30&selected=78704686&PinnedHotelID=78704686&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Mountain view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44130000/44126500/44126463/e474e412.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic Rook Resort Great Sand Dunes Mosca - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 9.2 Wonderful 155 reviews CA $248 CA $278 total includes taxes & fees Jan 4 - Jan 5, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-04&endDate=2026-01-05&selected=44126463&PinnedHotelID=44126463&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/84000000/83997300/83997254/aae1cb53.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Ranch Home—7 Minutes From Alamosa!

Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun place to stay We enjoyed our stay in the RV, the host was attentive and it came equipped with everything we needed. My only complaint would be the location of the bed in the bedroom, it’s a full and up against the wall, I get claustrophobic so sleeping on that side of the bed was difficult for me since my partner gets up at night. Other than that we had a good time! ##### Stephanie R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### troice s.

His instructions for finding and entering the property are clear and concise. The camper is clean, well equipped and his instructions for use are clear and concise. If you are looking for a quiet retreat to “crash” after a day of exploring the area, this is it! ##### Brande S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Johnny May 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We definitely enjoyed the convenience to Great Sand Dunes from this location. The exterior layout was nicely done with plenty of room, a nice tarp ground cover at the entrance, a fire pit, and a gas barbecue that worked very well. The weather was a bit chilly so we were not able to enjoy those as much as we would have preferred. The inside was tight and small, which we halfway expected and the bed VERY comfortable. The internet did work. Now the downside... We were fine with how tiny the quarters were and could have been just fine about that part. But the cleanliness was a very big deterrent and we actually left early because we didn't want to shower in the unkept tiny tub. The tiny part of the shower was doable but the shower was unkept, as was the entire bathroom. The toilet worked but took us a while to figure out how to flush (YouTube came to the rescue). It was a portable toilet that was installed into the bathroom of this unit. Functional when needed but definitely not preferred. The information booklet left for the renters did provide the internet codes but not much else in terms of helping one get familiar with the unit or the surrounding area. That RV definitely needs some care and upgrade for the price being charged to stay there. I would not stay there again. ##### Johnny Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Staybridge Suites Denver Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Denver-Downtown.h15849785.Hotel-Information) > > [INNhale Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-INNhale-BB-Resort.h35612026.Hotel-Information) > > [The Broadmoor](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-The-Broadmoor.h6096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Denver Union Station, CO](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Denver-Union-Station.h32947984.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Denver-At-Colorado-Convention-Center.h1366244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Denver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Westin-Denver-Downtown.h23697.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Denver.h24031.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Brown-Palace-Hotel-And-Spa.h14505.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Denver-Downtown.h2787.Hotel-Information) > > [the Curtis Denver - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Curtis-Denver-A-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel.h19267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Westminster](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Westin-Westminster.h444871.Hotel-Information) > > [Magnolia Hotel Denver, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Magnolia-Hotel-Denver.h50514.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Denver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Denver-Downtown.h17443003.Hotel-Information) > > [Warwick Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Warwick-Denver.h6852.Hotel-Information) > > [St Julien Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Boulder-Hotels-St-Julien-Hotel-And-Spa.h1159623.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Sheraton-Denver-Downtown-Hotel.h8398.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Denver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Denver-Downtown.h11526513.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Avon-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Beaver-Creek-Resort-And-Spa.h2227.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Aspen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Aspen-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Aspen-Resort.h5594.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Aspen-Hotels-Aspen-Mountain-Lodge.h524.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru By Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Denver-Downtown-Convention-Center.h39639972.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Vail Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Vail-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Vail.h14937343.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Denver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Sonesta-Denver-Downtown.h6727.Hotel-Information) > > [Halcyon - a hotel in Cherry Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Halcyon-A-Hotel-In-Cherry-Creek.h14797469.Hotel-Information) > > [Snowflake Meadows](https://www.expedia.ca/Steamboat-Springs-Hotels-Snowflake-Meadows.h25007119.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Denver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Denver-Downtown.h84621.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Denver.h3849336.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rally Hotel at McGregor Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Rally-Hotel.h64047016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Maven-At-Dairy-Block.h17289253.Hotel-Information)
