About this property
The Open-Plan Penthouse
We have one Penthouse covering the 2nd story, up a flight of stairs, nestled in the trees, with a small verandah to hang out on, right off the park. Great for romantic getaways, family's and groups of four! My place is close to Moffat - which is equal distance between Alamosa and Salida. It is the launch pad to the fun things to do out here in the middle of no-where. You’ll love my place because of the views, the location, the people, the ambiance, and the outdoors space.
We are located at:
187 West Silver Ave, Crestone, CO 81131
Check in at 3:30 pm, check out at 10:30 . We are a non-smoking property. Feel free to smoke on your verandah.
Large room, king size bed, living room, dining for four, kitchen with 4-burner gas stove and service for four, 6-ft bath tub - generally big enough for two! Coffee maker with organic coffee & sugar. We also provide creamer and tea. TV with Roku (Netflix provided) Organic shampoo, conditioner and body wash & hair dryer. The couch opens up and has an upgraded mattress.
We are a tourist destination for the great hiking (all levels), as well as many spiritual retreat centers, peace, quiet and beauty. We can be a sleepy town with many smatterings of Fun. There are several hot springs 30-40 mins away, as well as the Great Sand Dunes, alligator park and UFO park.
The Penthouse is the top floor. I have the easiest check in possible! I give you a combination to get in, so check in is on your own timing. There should be no other need to have contact unless you like it! Myself or my manager are open to meeting all my guests needs/questions. However, unless they come to me - I give them total space, peace and quiet! Checking out is simple. All you do is leave! If you have any questions or problems - please call or text.
The views are awesome in town, majestic and unique with the ever changing and beautiful lighting. We have a unique town - full of spiritual retreats and outrageous hiking for all levels. It is fairly quiet - yet we do have fun for such a sleepy little town. There is also horse riding a few miles away.
It's the perfect location in the park in town and walking distance to all shops.
Town is a few blocks big - walking is the best public transport! While you can walk to anything in downtown Crestone this is a very remote area without public transportation so you do need a vehicle.
Crestone is one of the most beautiful places to be for hiking and spiritual adventures! There are many hikes with 14,000 ft peaks and for all levels. Also, the peaceful majestic beauty attracts folks from all over the world that come to attend one of the many retreats at the dozen or so spiritual centers. A few miles away are horse riding/stables. 30-45 minutes away are Joyful Journey Hot Springs - famous for it's healing waters. Also there is the most magnificent Valley View Hot Springs - focused outdoors with incredibly beautiful vistas. It is clothing optional. Both offer massages.
