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.

So so
I wouldn’t come here when it’s hot, lack of air conditioning in the rooms is not enjoyable. Also grass area is full of mosquitos and hard to enjoy a film depending on time of year

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 ! AP

Really enjoyed the drive-inn concept. Stayed in a steel master prefab unit. The interior was very well done with covered patio to take in the views of mountains in the distance.

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!

Very clean and new feeling . Great concept. Did the metal building not the yurt. Did tour a yurt tho and looked pretty cool as well. Excellent stay and would def stay again. 3 things will mention just for those who may wanna know. Movies are not shown during the week, no tv if you’re looking for one and no fridge in the room.

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!

Absolutely fantastic overnight stay at Frontier! The area was very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the patio and the close proximity to the Sand Dunes. We'll be back soon!

The Yurt we stayed in was very clean, very unique looking, the pellet stove heated up fast and produced great amount of heat, and stays very warm inside, the bathroom/shower facilities was very clean, warm and comfortable/safe being unisex, the only problem we had was our Yurt door was a challenge to open it require a good amount of force to open and shut, and the shower heads spray water everywhere but overall i highly recommend, peaceful, quiet, cute, great beautiful mountain views, great staff.

This was such a fun stay. I stayed In one of the Yurts. Beautifully decorated, plenty of room and steps to the super clean bathroom. The location is perfect for visiting the Sand Dunes. How fun to watch a movie with popcorn and fellow travelers. Highly recommend!

Very cool property. We stayed during the off season and were one of (if not the only) visitors that night. Parking is plentiful, though finding our room after dark was a little confusing as the room numbers aren’t visible from the parking area and there is very little lighting. We would definitely be interested in staying during the spring or summer when there are more visitors and we could enjoy sitting outside for a movie.
