This property was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware.We enjoyed our view of the nearby mountains from the balcony and even saw a passing black bear one evening.

Beautiful house, great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house was lovely, very comfortable, and smelled like a spa when we arrived. I especially appreciated the owner's environmentally friendly approach, including saving food scraps for compost. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, and the thoughtful extras made a big difference. I was particularly grateful for the coffee and Ziploc bags that were provided. After being on a 10-day trip, I had run out of coffee and didn't want to purchase an entire new bag for just our last two days; that small touch was greatly appreciated.The host was excellent at communicating and made everything easy and stress-free.The only thing worth noting is that the Vrbo listing states that Great Sand Dunes National Park is about an 18-minute drive away, which was not accurate during our stay. The drive was closer to an hour. However, this is more of a listing issue than a problem with the home itself.Overall, this was a lovely place to stay, and we would happily return.

We loved everything about the Green Gem, from the fully equipped kitchen, to the top knotch beds, the modern & sleek bathroom, the outdoor deck & balcony, and the finer details (organic coffee, lovely flowers in several vases, high quality soaps, & room sprays, etch) - Leah has thoughtfully curated a wonderful stay! It was an especially great home base for our family of four, and our two young adult sons for their ambitious & successful summiting of Crestone & Little Bear peaks. We would welcome the chance to stay here again!
