Unique place to stay in the San Louis Valley. Ample parking, clean and stylish lodging, nice bathrooms, and a fantastic community area/kitchen. It is also close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. You can the mountains in all directions.

What a cool place! Not a typical single building with rooms but separate individual places with modern design. Easy parking, clean and comfortable.

Great lodging concept.

Great concept for lodging, movie and meals. We stayed in the steamer suite which has a private bathroom. Simplistic, comfortable, quiet, nicely appointed room with walk out patio. We had brought our blackstone and cooked dinner on the rock gravel just off the patio. The accommodations were perfect. There is a concession area that you can rent cooking boxes to make your meals. We toured the facility while we were there. The commercial kitchen is outstanding. Everything you would need to prepare a lovely meal for yourself. Plenty of table and bar seating inside the concession area. There wasn’t a movie playing the night we stayed, but we will definitely return when one is playing.

Just so sick to have a drive-inn in the middle of nowhere. Great start-gazing and literally an entire restuarant-level kitchen to use in the shared dining area.

Lovely place. Construction during our stay but otherwise very pleasant. Not many options for food close by but the shared “snack bar” space is very nice. Would definitely stay again!

We booked for the drive inn and were not aware that it only plays certain nights. The rooms were clean. The site is under construction with little signage so it wasn't clear where to park and the construction noise started promptly at 7 a.m. While it has potential long-term, I have no desire to return.
