A private one‑bedroom, one‑bath casita on a quiet high‑desert acreage, the Guest House at Sand Canyon Oasis is made for couples, solo travelers, or small families who want comfort and privacy with big‑sky views. Your unit has its own entrance, full kitchen, living room with smart TV, dining nook, and a queen bedroom with quality linens. Heating and cooling are designed for our climate (baseboard heat plus an efficient window A/C). Fast Wi‑Fi and a dedicated workspace support remote work. Outside, relax on the porch and watch the sandstone glow at sunset—night skies are true dark‑sky spectaculars. Guests enjoy immediate access to the property’s private pedestrian gate into Canyons of the Ancients National Monument for hiking and biking on marked trails. You’re welcome to wander the acreage, stargaze, and savor the quiet. Parking is free and steps from your door. The setting is rural by design: peaceful, scenic, and convenient to public lands without city noise. Pet stays are possible in the Guest House.

Hello! We're a family of firefighters from North Carolina who fell in love with the high desert's privacy and beauty. We created Sand Canyon Oasis as our personal getaway and are excited to share it. What truly captured us was the land—the beautiful home, seclusion, and especially the direct BLM access via a private gate into the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.

The property sits on the Colorado Plateau outside Cortez, Colorado—minutes from Sutcliffe Vineyards and with a private gate to Canyons of the Ancients. Mesa Verde National Park (World Heritage cliff dwellings) is a short drive; Hovenweep National Monument and McElmo Canyon’s scenic byway are close. The area blends world‑class archaeology with year‑round recreation: singletrack, canyon hikes, birding, and back‑road drives. Services, groceries, and restaurants are in downtown Cortez (about 15–20 minutes). Expect dramatic temperature swings, brilliant stars, and the calm of true high‑desert country.
