We loved our stay at the Stargazer! It was exactly what we needed. The views were breathtaking—sunsets and sunrises each day and stargazing at night. We enjoyed being close to the Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls as well as the proximity to the market in Crestone. The house was well stocked with all the amenities we needed for cooking each night and lots of linens. The host was helpful and fast with responses. We cannot say enough great things and would absolutely recommend staying here!

This house was perfect for our family stay. We had 5 adults and lots of room to hang out. We wish we could have stayed longer. The house was fully stocked with all the necessary kitchen equipment to cook full meals, coffee supplies, and even a few snacks and drinks, left by the host. Loved the out door seating areas and the quietness of the neighborhood. The views were amazing from the 2 floor deck. The communication, check in and house instructions, with the host was through and easy. Would definitely recommend this property!!!!
This beautiful home was a perfect place for our day at Great sands dunes national park. It was immaculate and situated so peacefully in the woods. It was great for our trip with 4 grandchildren.
It was a beautiful property, well provisioned with telescope, great outdoor furniture and upscale interior. Owners were responsive and great to deal with. Fully recommend!
The Stargazer was the perfect spot for our large family! We watched the stars from the back deck and enjoyed a fun day at the sand dunes. Crestone was charming and quiet. We had everything we needed.
Had a great stay with my brothers in Crestone. House was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities we needed. Quick and friendly communicated from the host. Would definitely stay again! We especially appreciated the deck spaces and natural light throughout the house.

The Stargazer was a perfect size for our family of five. Very spacious for a few days, with great location near hikes and the quirky little town of Crestone. Highly recommended!

The Stargazer is aptly named- watching the stars from the upper deck, and the glorious "sangre de cristos" sunsets was heaven. The house was a wonderful base for our hiking adventures!
This property has a beautiful view of the mountains and is located in very peaceful area. We were able to have a very enjoyable weekend, visiting the Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls. When we returned to the property, our family was able to sit back, eat dinner and relax without being on top of each other. The owner was very reseptive and commincation between us was easy from the time I booked, all the way to the end. I would definitely recommend this property and I look forward to maybe coming back again.
Beautiful space & appropriately named stargazer cabin!! It did not disappoint. There was plenty of room for everyone. Comfortable spaces inside and outside. Small town nearby to get supplies. It is about a hour drive to the sand dunes. Just a great time with family and friends. The hostess was very responsive.
