My family of 7 spent 2 weeks visiting national parks in Utah and Colorado. We stayed mostly in vacation rentals. This home in Fort Garland was our last stop on the trip. I didn't receive an address for the home until the night before and I was shocked at how far it was from the town of Fort Garland. I had picked it instead of options in Alamosa because I thought it was closer. The house is 20 minutes east of Fort Garland and 4 miles on a dirt road. It was 50 min to Great Sand Dunes and 50 min from a grocery store. Once I found out how far it was, I hoped it would be a very nice home, to make it worth the extra driving. The positives for this house is that it was clean and had lots of space for 7 people to spread out, but it is in no way luxurious. We stayed in several older homes on our trip, but they had all been totally redone and were top notch. This house needs a lot of work. It has no AC, lots of broken screens and windows that won't open due to broken handles. More than half of the kitchen light bulbs were burned out. Many light switches that didn't work. The entire upstairs bedroom electrical outlets didn't work. The toilet seat was broken on the main floor. The lower floor smelled musty. On the last night one of my daughters came upstairs and slept on the futon because there was an animal, probably a mouse, scratching in the wall of her room all night. This was the most disappointing home we stayed in on our trip. It could be a nice place, but it needs a lot of work.
