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.

Great Stay at Dines Rest

Perfect for Getaway to the Dunes

We stayed for three nights in late May. House was clean and comfy with an awesome view of the Dunes. If you want to be close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and not camp, the Dunes Rest is a great option.

Fabulous cabin

There are lots of places to stay in the San Luis Valley but probably not many with this view! The view was amazing, the cabin was so cozy and quiet. Definitely recommend Dunes Rest! My husband and I were completely comfortable for our six-night stay.

This property is meticulously maintained, clean, and recently updated. The amenities are thoughtful, the decor tasteful, and the views unparalleled. You can tell that the owners put a lot of love into this cabin. While here (Nov), we went sledding on the sand dunes and visited the reptile sanctuary. I would love to explore the sand dunes more thoroughly. If we have the opportunity to do so, I would absolutely stay here again!

Great views

Amazing views of the dunes from the large deck. The kitchen is well furnished. A great place to unplug. My kids enjoyed the small dvd library, but consider bringing your own favorites given the lack of wifi and cable/ota tv.my kids really enjoyed the stream out back!

A Delight by the Sand Dunes

This trip turned out to be a favorite for our Denver based family. The property itself had a lot to do with that! Very well appointed, had all of the things we needed to settle right in with out toddler, make meals, relax, enjoy the views. And great location right down the road from Great Sand Dunes National Park. Will happily recommend to friends and family!
