We really enjoyed our stay. The home was spacious and comfortable. The kitchens and bathrooms were very clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels & linens were provided. The furniture and decorations in the home were very cool especially the tin collections. The main town of Crestone was a short walk away where we enjoyed the Elephant Cloud Cafe and enchanting shops. The view of the stars at night was amazing. The Sand Dunes National Park was something to see along with a Hindu temple along the way

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the very beginning, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful. The home itself was spotless and well cared for and the furniture and beds were super comfy!The property was beautiful, peaceful and perfect for stargazing (one of the things Crestone is known for). My dog loved the huge fenced backyard and was entertained with sniffs for hours! We liked being able to walk less than 5 minutes to get to “downtown” and hiking trails were all around. We also drove just about 45 minutes to the sand dunes and found some really cool hot springs. This home is a perfect place for anyone looking for a restorative getaway. We left feeling refreshed and inspired, and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
