Great place to stay
The place had everything we needed for an enjoyable time in the area. Make sure you have good tires and a car that can handle dirt/rocky roads and you will be fine. There are lots a deer in the area so watch out for them when you are driving in. We also saw a bobcat near the house, be mindful if you are out walking. The host communicated well with us during our stay when we had a question. I would stay here again.

Close, but needs a few things
Nice place with some shortcomings. The A/C unit was not there, as advertised. There are no screens on the windows in this house. We found this very disappointing. Who rents a place thinking they should ask if there are window screens? It got very warm and stuffy every afternoon. The large triangular windows let blinding sun in in the late afternoon. I could barely cook supper with it like that. When we arrived there was garbage on the floor in the corner of living room. We were sticking to the floor in the hall and I had to mop the first evening. Turns out there was hummingbird sugar water all over the floor and running down a shelf. The lowest level is very musty. There were also crickets, both dead and alive, down there all over the carpet. I vacuumed on night one. Be careful, the stairs are different heights in the rise of the stairs. There was laundry in the washer when I went to use it mid-week. I didn’t know if it was clean or dirty. The amenities were good and most everything you would need for your stay is already there.

Amazing Relaxing time.
We were in aw of how beautiful this place and area is. It was so peaceful and just like a piece of heaven. We had such a relaxing time. My husband and I stayed at the cabin the whole time once we got there. Our son and his friends basically stayed down in the basement and ventured out to explore Colorado. We both agree this has been hands down our favorite vacation to date. Thank you to the host to make sure everything was perfect.

Nice, quiet cabin, in a secluded spot.
This is a nice cabin, good for groups of all sizes, we had 7 in our party and it was perfectly comfortable. The cabin has a great view off the back porch, and the neighbors arent too close. It isnt the most convenient to get in and out of though, if you need to go into town, about half the drive is just getting back out to the paved road. Its about an hour drive from the sand dunes, which is definitely worth the trip

Beautiful connection with nature!
We had a wonderful time. Alternated days between cooking and playing games at the home, with visiting attractions within an hours drive. The home met all our needs and gave everyone the space they needed. Early mornings were spent on the back porch with a cup of coffee and watching the birds and chipmunks. One day we had a deer run through the back yard and soon after a coyote followed. We all hoped the deer was faster, even though the coyote was beautiful as well. Highly recommend the Hummingbird Hideaway!!

The mountains were calling...
We had a wonderful stay at The Hummingbird Hideway. We saw lots of different species of birds, and the chipmunks were fun to watch. The last two evenings we were there the deer made an appearance at dusk. One night we counted 11 deer having their dinner. The cabin was well stocked with lots of extras in the kitchen. If you want peace and quiet in the mountains and with the bonus of seeing wildlife, this is the place. Its also a short drive to Great Sand Dunes National Park as well as Stations of the Cross Shrine in San Luis Colorado. The cabin was very nice and spacious.
