Our family stayed at Archie's Place for 1 night while we visited Great Sand Dunes National Park. Bedroom with bunk beds was great for our teenage boys. Kitchen was decently stocked and beds were comfortable. Great view of mountains from the front porch.
House had everything you could think of. Kitchen fully stock, every condiment you could think of, pancakes were great, barbeque in back, Wi-Fi, charging cords for all of our different devises. The over supply of towels was really nice.
The Rinnai water heater made sure that our group all had hot showers!
Great for a family of 5. Everything went well. Great location for visiting the Sand Dunes. Very clean. As per property description, there is no dishwasher.
This home was cute, clean, and stocked with everything you can think of. Plenty of towels, fixins for a pancake breakfast, phone plug-ins, and more. Amazing view of Mt Blanca right outside your front door and close to the Dunes. Definitely recommend!

Very clean house with good technological amenities. Very convenient to Great Sand Dunes, and an hour and half drive to Taos, New Mexico. A short drive into Alamosa for groceries and restaurants.
There are six of us- family of four with children aged 4 and 9, plus grandparents headed to Great Sand Dunes. The house was perfect! Just like the photos, so clean and thoughtfully set up! Beautiful views, pretty yard, good beds! Enjoyed our stay so much!!
