CrestDomes: “Moonlight Milky Way” Luxury Glamping Dome Home near the Sand Dunes

✨ 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.

🌌 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.

CrestDomes is surrounded by some of Colorado's most unique landscapes and experiences.

Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve— approximately 1 hour away

🔥 COZY NIGHTS + YEAR-ROUND COMFORT

Each dome has its own dedicated custom 36,000 BTU heating and cooling system designed specifically for the space.

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.

🍳 SHARED LOBBY + PRIVATE KITCHENETTE

Your dome is private, while the main lobby is a shared common area for guests staying at the other domes.

The lobby includes a full kitchen with:

* Refrigerator/freezer with ice maker
* Oven and range
* Sink
* Dishwasher

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. ✨

Very different and unique experience. The dome home was fun. In the middle very scenic Mountains and Valley! Not sure we were prepared with food to fix. Grill was not clean or usable. Saw some beautiful birds and coyotes roaming the fields as we drove in.

Unique, high design stay

The unit was impeccably decorated and lots of attention to detail. It was styled like a model home with all the bells and whistles. Loved the cozy throw blankets and the bed was comfy. Luckily we planned ahead and brought meals as there are not many options for dining/groceries. The dome has a kitchenette, with shared full kitchen in lobby area. Only wish was shower pressure needs a boost. Otherwise great location for visit to the dunes.
