Property was clean and stocked with extras. Beds were comfortable, towel new and clean. It is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. Access to the hiking trail and close proximity to a vineyard were an extra bonus. We enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommend.
The Oasis at Sand Canyon was the perfect house for our family vacation. It was clean and well furnished. The house had everything we needed and more. The property connects to Canyons of the Ancient Monument with hiking trails right in the back yard. Highly recommend this property to anyone!
Perfect location to Canyon of the Ancients and many offerings of this magical corner of Colorado! Well appointed, stocked and labeled, especially the kitchen. Owner was extremely helpful and responsive. We would definitely return for another vacation to this beautiful property.
Beautiful views, accommodations above average in comfort and convenience. Host extremely responsive and thoughtful. The two hones are great for multi-generation gatherings. The only thing missing is a pool!
