Property was clean and stocked with extras. Beds were comfortable, towel new and clean. It is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. Access to the hiking trail and close proximity to a vineyard were an extra bonus. We enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommend.

The Oasis at Sand Canyon was the perfect house for our family vacation. It was clean and well furnished. The house had everything we needed and more. The property connects to Canyons of the Ancient Monument with hiking trails right in the back yard. Highly recommend this property to anyone!
