"Quiet, very relaxing experience. Convenient to Sand Dunes National Park. Would stay at this property again. Got to try Starlink Internet for the first time and the speeds were very good. Property also had a telescope that was fun to use. Don’t expect a typical TV experience. That was challenging, but the whole purpose of this property really is to kind of get away and unplug so it wasn’t a big deal. There are a lot of puzzles and books at the property."
