This is a very unique place and I really enjoyed my stay. I had a suite and it was very luxurious. I was facing the movie screen which was great on movie night as I could watch from my patio. My only issue was that an hour before the movie they started playing loud music on the speakers. I had just returned from an active day and was enjoying a few quiet moments with a book. There was no escaping all the noise, unlike the volume from the movie, which was reasonable. I was surprised because the owners were so considerate in other ways. There were blankets and folding chairs for the movie as well as free popcorn. They were very responsive when I texted with a question Also please be aware that there is no AC. There is a very strong, excellent ceiling fan over the bed that keeps you cool while sleeping but the room can get just a bit stuffy in warmer weather. The suites are beautiful and the bathroom very spacious. You are in the countryside but there is a good Mexican restaurant just five minutes away and Del Norte, a cute little town about 15. Overall, I loved this experience. I stayed two nights and wasn't ready to leave.

The amenities were great and property was super clean. My only hesitation is to know before you travel: this is a drive-in, which I was not prepared for. Around 6 or 6:30 they started blaring music on the loud speaker, which lasted until the movie began at 8:30. If you're looking for a quiet stay like I was, look elsewhere.

This place is brand new. The rooms were clean (brand new) and the community kitchen was also clean and new. There was an ice machine and dishwasher and fridge as well as a new range. The community bathrooms for the Yurts were new and spacious. We enjoyed the yurt and would stay again.

Unique place to stay in the San Louis Valley. Ample parking, clean and stylish lodging, nice bathrooms, and a fantastic community area/kitchen.

It is also close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. You can the mountains in all directions.

Great lodging concept.

Great concept for lodging, movie and meals. We stayed in the steamer suite which has a private bathroom. Simplistic, comfortable, quiet, nicely appointed room with walk out patio. We had brought our blackstone and cooked dinner on the rock gravel just off the patio. The accommodations were perfect. There is a concession area that you can rent cooking boxes to make your meals. We toured the facility while we were there. The commercial kitchen is outstanding. Everything you would need to prepare a lovely meal for yourself. Plenty of table and bar seating inside the concession area. There wasn’t a movie playing the night we stayed, but we will definitely return when one is playing.

We booked for the drive inn and were not aware that it only plays certain nights. The rooms were clean. The site is under construction with little signage so it wasn't clear where to park and the construction noise started promptly at 7 a.m. While it has potential long-term, I have no desire to return.

Wow! What a unique place!! Nothing I have ever seen, but a great concept. Wish we could have seen a movie but not in season yet:) about 45min from Great Sand Dunes NP. The drive here was amazing too. Out in the middle of nowhere:)
I only gave it a 4 for surrounding area since they are in middle of construction but I’m sure it’ll be fine soon.

Fancy yurts don’t hurt

It was a nice little retreat! Very cool, in the middle of one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Easy to get to wolf creek, dunes , crestone, etc. 10/10 would stay there again . No movies sunday -Thursday, but still a very cool place non-the less! Also the pellet stove in the yurt kind of rules , will keep you very warm all night!

I loved the modern decor of the suite, spa-like bathroom, quiet surroundings, view of the night sky. This is quite rural. Check-in was easy via a texted code for the keypad. Microwave but no fridge. Hot water kettle, but no coffee or tea, so it went unused. I also did not use the kitchen in a different building. I would stay here again.

Watching a movie on a big screen (former drive in) outside under the stars sitting in a folding chair with a down blanket and popcorn/ fabulous!!!! Worth the effort. I don’t like the trend of no on site managers and no response to email but i understand from an economic point of view it is necessary. Some emails were answered and some went unanswered. It’s a well taken care of property.

I thought this would be a funky and memorable place take a weekend trip and it did not disappoint. There were so many details that I did not expect: a great lawn for viewing movies, cute matching chairs, freshly popped popcorn, fire pits outside the yurts, cool led lighting everywhere, bedside mints, fluffy towels, etc.

It was super clean and comfortable.

I wasn’t really into the movie, but that didn’t matter. We stayed out on the lawn to watch for awhile, then went back by the fire pit to hang out.

I can’t wait to go back. San Luis Valley also has the Gator farm, Penitente Canyon, Great Sand Dunes, Mountain biking, and so much more!

Very fun stay! We stayed in one of the yurts. A lot more fancy than I was expecting. Very tastefully decorated with a great pellet stove that made it very cozy. The bath house was very clean and easy to access.

We would recommend this for a fun and unique experience that is a little off the beaten path.

The Frontier Inn is a hidden Jem almost surreal!
All good there but very limited choices for convenience stores and supermarkets near by. If you plan to stay there make sure to bring your own provisions !
I would go back there again !

A one of a kind experience

Love this place. We stayed in the Quonset huts, which have their own bathroom and are quieter than the Yurts. We lined the Yurts too but if you’re seeking a quieter stay go with the huts as they are still reasonable and lovely. We love the shared communal kitchen. Very well equipped and fun to have meals with friends there. This is a unique experience and they’ve done a wonderful job with design. Oh and the movie nights are so fun!

Super neat concept! The yurt was decorated beautifully and stocked very well. Bathroom facility was prestine. The communal kitchen was fantastic. And the movie on the big screen was such a fun time and super impressed by how clear and projecting the speakers are when in front of the screen, but not a problem when in the yurt. This was the closest fun accommodation I could find that was reasonably priced near the Sand Dunes, glad we took this option!
