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.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Zapata Falls. A kitchen and a fireplace are available in the cabin.
  • The cabin offers a kitchen, a fireplace and a patio
  • 7 minutes by car from Great Sand Dunes National Park and 12 minutes from Blanca Peak Trailhead
Dunes Rest offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Mosca cabin is smoke free.

Loved Dunes Rest
It looked like the house was out in the middle of nowhere, and it was. But we were so close to the dunes, we could see it from the house. We had our supplies, so we were in good shape, and didn't need stores. The kitchen was very well supplied. Loved the postcards provided...it was a nice touch.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We have stayed in several homes through Expedia/VRBO and this one was not only the most clean, but also the best equipped. The towels and kitchen equipment were first rate. I always bring my frying pan and a few cooking utensils when we rent a house, but I didn't need any of them here.

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.

Beautiful!
Beautiful property. The scenery from the deck was outstanding. I love the flowering flora, and the proximity to the national park.The little telescope in the loft was an added plus. Kitchen had everything except a good ice tray.

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!
