🌌 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.

* 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.

The lobby includes a full kitchen with:

Your dome has its own kitchenette for preparing coffee, drinks, snacks and simple meals.

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 planned ahead to get groceries for our stay. I’m so glad we did because there is nothing near by! It was easy to find and get checked in. Had all kitchen supplies.

Very unique. We had never stayed in a dome before. It is very modern and had everything we needed. Enjoyed the stars once the rain cleared out. We had a family of 4 stay here. My husband with our 21 and 18 year old. The sleeping arrangements were challenging but it was only for 1 night. It would have been awesome for 2 people! Lots of deer around closer to town which was fun to see. Not many places to eat close by and they close early so plan your meals ahead of time!

This was our first time staying in a dome as a family of four. The original dome was not available at time of check-in due to a plumbing issue and Dina communicated promptly to let us know she was switching us to one of the other domes. It was overall nice and clean but with some wear and tear with missing bathroom hooks, wobbly table and unsecured closet chest. The other things to point out is the bathroom is so small, my 5’4” frame could barely fit, same with the shower. We noted that if you were a bigger human this would definitely not be suitable for you. Also there is no ventilation in the bathroom so if you do a smelly #2 it fills the dome with that scent. Overall minor for us but some things to note. We did enjoy the remoteness but if you are planning on doing much outside of the dome, plan on a 30-60 min drive in either direction for main attractions. We did go into Crestone and shopped at cloud market. It would be sufficent for our needs but note that it is similar to a small local Whole Foods. We would come back to this area and stay at the domes again as it is beautiful location that met our needs.
