This is one our favorite places to stay. The kids never get bored when we spend a day in. The owners are always quick to answer if we have a question. The house is close to plenty of hiking trails and the Great Sand Dunes.

Great stay at Hummingbird Hideaway! Gorgeous views, ample space, great accommodations. Be aware that it is very rural - approx 17 minutes just to get back to the highway, then another 30 minutes to the next town. Very quiet, great stargazing and wildlife. Highly recommend!

We stayed 5 days the house had almost everything you could possibly think of (no cookie sheet) It was very clean and it was so nice to sit on the deck and watch wildlife or stars at night. We visited the Shrine of the Stations of the Cross , The Great Sand Dunes and the Zappa Falls all within an hour drive while we were there.
