✨ CRESTDOMES | A STAY ABOVE THE ORDINARY

Wake up to mountain views. Spend the day exploring Colorado. Come home to your private dome, cozy up by the fire, and step outside beneath some of Colorado's darkest skies.

Welcome to CrestDomes, a one-of-a-kind glamping experience in the high-desert mountains of Crestone, Colorado. With three beautifully designed private geodesic domes, you'll enjoy the feeling of being immersed in nature without giving up the comforts that make a getaway special.

Your spacious 700 sq. ft. dome features a king bed, private bathroom, kitchenette, large bay window with mountain views, telescope, projector, WiFi, heating and air conditioning, cozy fireplaces, robes, slippers and your own private outdoor space.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, an adventurous Colorado getaway, a peaceful retreat, or simply want to experience sleeping in a dome beneath an incredible night sky, CrestDomes is an experience you'll remember long after you leave.

⭐ YOUR PRIVATE DOME

🌌 SLEEP UNDER THE DARK SKIES

Crestone is part of a designated Dark Skies community, making the area an incredible place to experience the night sky.

Every dome has a telescope so you can spend an evening searching the stars, planets and constellations from your own private retreat.

For a cozy indoor experience, turn on the Astronaut Galaxy Night Light, settle into bed and enjoy your own little celestial escape.

Please note: The original skylight has been permanently covered to prevent excessive heat from direct sunlight during certain seasons. The dome's large bay window still provides beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

The system is the primary source of heating and cooling, while the electric fireplaces are for aesthetics only add an extra cozy touch.
A few things to know:

* The previous mini-split above the door is no longer in service.
* The HVAC remote functions as the thermostat.
* For accurate temperature control, keep the remote across the room from the unit.
* Please leave the remote on the gold bar/coffee cart when not in use.

Please note: The full-size kitchen sink and dishwasher are located in the shared lobby.

Guests booking all three domes have access to the laundry room.

Each dome has its own separate entry code.

🌲 A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

CrestDomes is glamping in a remote high-desert environment, so the natural surroundings are part of the experience.

Weather: Mountain weather can change quickly. Summers can be warm and sunny, while evenings are often cool. Winters bring snow and cold temperatures.

Sun: The domes can become warm during periods of strong daytime sunshine. We encourage guests to explore the incredible surrounding area during the day and enjoy the dome as it cools in the evening.

Insects: Mosquitoes can be prevalent during warmer months. We recommend bringing insect repellent.

Wind & sand: Strong winds and fine desert sand are normal in this environment and can occasionally affect window visibility.

Sound: The domes are separate but sound can travel easily in the quiet surroundings. We ask all guests to be considerate of one another, particularly in the early morning and late evening.

Dark skies: Please keep outdoor lighting to a minimum so everyone can enjoy the incredible night sky.

🍷 FOOD + GROCERIES

Crestone is a small, remote community, so dining and grocery options are limited.

We recommend purchasing groceries before arriving if you plan to cook during your stay.

Local options include:

* Amore (Italian restaurant)
* Our Food Is Art
* Crestone Mercantile
* The Cloud Market
* Granny’s Kitchen

Restaurant hours can vary, particularly seasonally, so checking hours before heading out is recommended.

✨ THE CRESTDOMES EXPERIENCE

CrestDomes isn't just a place to sleep.

It's waking up surrounded by mountains.

It's coffee by the window while the landscape comes alive.

It's spending the afternoon exploring sand dunes, mountain trails or nearby hot springs.

It's coming back to your dome, turning on the fireplace and watching the stars appear.

And it's stepping outside at night and realizing just how incredible the sky can look when the city lights are far away.

Come slow down. Look up. Explore. And experience Colorado from a whole new perspective.

Welcome to CrestDomes — where your next adventure is a little closer to the stars. ✨

We enjoyed the peaceful, remote setting and the incredible stargazing opportunities. However, the property’s maintenance needs attention: several power outlets were non-functional, and the AC at the entrance was out of order. While the host suggested checking the breaker box for the outlets, it didn't resolve the issue. The home has great potential and many amenities, but they need to be verified for functionality before new guests arrive.

Cute multi-family dome

This cute multi dome home is very comfy with good fans for a comfortable overnight sleep. Star gazing is encouraged but be aware the see through dome does not allow a lot of star viewing from inside. Outside the dome has plenty of seating and blankets so they have you covered.

Good stay, a few things to note

The property and location is great! It is on the north side of the sand dunes which is about as close as you can stay, though still a drive. There is a kitchen, dining area, bed, and bathroom included. However, it was not made clear in the listing that the kitchen is communal between the three domes and that the second bed is an air mattress. It worked well for our needs, but just note it is not completely private and there are not two bedrooms. The view is excellent though and the dome itself is great! If you are a couple or a small group of friends, I would recommend staying here!
