Unique, beautiful & Zen stylish quiet home with king size private 22' ft diameter bedroom; ensuite with 3x5' sunken tub with three walls of windows overlooking the beautiful mountains. Open plan dining & living rooms with click clack couch, small yard and wonderful views. 4 miles to town.
Architecturally elegant and unique design situated with beautiful views. This was a big home that has been duplex-ed and is about 1000 square feet. It was designed for privacy, so the entry door for the other home is on the opposite side of the house from where you enter. Very peaceful and quiet - the only house on the street. I call the area 'country suburbia' with houses peppered in the neighborhood about 1/4 mile away. While this home is open and not small - it provides a warm and intimate setting. Great for writers, retreats and romance with a big 3x5' sunken tub with three walls of windows and mirrors. If you have guests there is a futon couch in the living room with doors for privacy. (The yard is not totally secure for pet safety.) The sister dome is about 1200 square feet - and renting both sides is excellent for smallish events/retreats. There have been a few weddings held here. Location-location!! 4 miles to town.
There is wi-fi/internet access and a TV for watching DVD's. There is a selection of DVD's provided for your entertainment. Organic or all-natural bath wash, shampoo and conditioner, as well as a hair dryer are provided.
There is no formal check-in. I give you the combination for the door to arrive on your own timing. Check-in 3:30 pm and check-out 10:30am. I am open to meeting all my guests needs/questions. However, unless they come to me - I give them total space, peace and quiet! Checking out is simple. All you do is leave ! If you have any questions or problems - please call or text.
This rental is half of a duplex that has been built for privacy. There is an ascetically lovely wide paneled high wooden fence in the back yard. (At the time of this entry, the yard is not secure for pets safety. Please ask when booking if this is required by you.) As well, separate parking spots and entry doors are on opposite sides so that it's most likely you won't even see the other person. We have a lot of folks coming for meditation and designed our home for retreats, writers & romance.
Crestone this is a very remote area without public transportation so you do need a vehicle.
Crestone is one of the most beautiful places to be for hiking and spiritual adventures! There are many hikes with 14,000 ft peaks and for all levels. Also, the peaceful majestic beauty attracts folks from all over the world that come to attend one of the many retreats at the dozen or so spiritual centers. There is a small park and campground 1 block away. As well as horse riding/stables.

The place is in a lovely location and the management was friendly and responsive. Unfortunately, the property is pretty run down and the cleanliness on check in was lacking. Just a little more upkeep and this would be an excellent rental. FYI, the location is quite remote. The closest gas station, grocery, and restaurant are 20 miles away. Come prepared:)
The property was great! My kids and I enjoyed the home, backyard,and even walked around the area. Comfortable beds, great bathroom, and perfect sized kitchen for our stay!
This would've been the 3rd time we stayed with this company in Crestone, but they double booked us and didn't say anything until an hour before check-in in when we were well on our way to this remote town. They tried to scam us with offering a cheaper place that was 3 times smaller, in town vs the country and didn't have the big tub in the country setting we booked the dome for... For the same price... And then acted like they were doing us a favor. When I told them that was unacceptable, they contacted vrbo and cancelled our trip. On Easter weekend in a place that didn't have any other places to stay... We had to stay in our car on a freezing night in the mountains at the beginning of April and could've died due to their negligence and extremely poor customer service. I will be telling everyone I know to never patronize any of their businesses.
Me and a friend stayed here for a little getaway to the sand dunes. The place was perfect for our needs. The house was clean and stocked, the bed was comfortable and the views were amazing. Highly recommend!
The small dome house was an ideal getaway for a quiet, relaxing experience. It was immaculate, and the setting is serene, ideal for anyone who needs to unwind and soak up the natural beauty of the mountains.
My wife and I (and honestly, our two dogs, too!) LOVED our stay at this romantic little dome! It was everything we needed for three nights in Crestone, from a comfy bed to a cozy bath. We especially appreciated the privacy from the connected dome next door. Overall, a wonderful stay!
We were blown away by how interesting this building is, and it was an hour or so to two hot springs and the Sand Dunes! The landscape is beautiful and the house more so. It's not called the Beautiful Dome for nothing!
The beautiful dome was so wonderful. We really enjoyed ourselves..... even though it was snowing so we didn't get to see the stars it mountains, it was beautiful. Thanks so much for the clean wonderful space.
My 2 kids and 2 dogs enjoyed our stay at the beautiful dome house. The home had everything we needed and served as our home base for trips to Crestone and the Sand Dunes. The stars and moonlight are incredible.
The Dome was a uniquely fun experience and the host had everything ready for us. Nice hot showers, comfy bed and pillows, kitchen with all the necessities.
Crestone is a spiritual place with many retreat centers. It was lovely to stop over and enjoy the amazing views as well as the sunrise and sunset. This place is well stocked and comfortable. It provides a sense of the remote while still being near enough io stores and restaurants.
Super cool property. The views were amazing and the dome house fun! We had friends staying at sand dunes recreation, about 35 minutes away. Ideally we'd be closer but it was worth a few extra minutes drive.
Partner and I had a lovely stay. Easy communication and beautiful location. Mattress has definitely seen better days hopefully will be replaced soon. Everything else was great.
We loved the adorable dome, and the huge tub was perfect! Gorgeous views. Love that the property is dog friendly. The only fault I could find is that it is a bit of a drive to the dunes. Totally my fault for not researching better, but very surprising when you can see the dunes for a good part of the drive!
My spouse and I had a very enjoyable stay with our two pups. Charming dome home was comfortable with well equipped kitchen and fabulous views. Clear crisp nights with sky full of stars. So quiet. Quick drive into center of Crestone. Wonderful walks with the dogs. Loved the huge tub with a view! Would definitely come back.
Very fun and unique! Lovely location in desert at foot of the Sangre Mtns. Lots of walking and steps to navigate this home, probably not for the physically challenged. Would come back! PS Don't miss a stop in Crestone!.
