Beautiful home just a short walk to the galleries and shops in Crestone. We stayed here for one night on our way to The Great Sand Dunes. The house was impeccably clean, the beds were comfy and the dark sky could not be beat. We would love to stay here again the next time we’re in this part of Colorado.

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!

This is a very charming historic house in Crestone with many neat features, interesting decorations (I don't want to spoil it for you!), and great mountain views! I stayed here over the July 4th weekend with my husband and our three pups. We had a lot of space to ourselves with the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms! The bed we slept on and all the furniture was very comfortable! The wifi was excellent and the large smart tv in the upstairs living area worked great (with some free streaming services). The bathrooms were clean with hot water and extra amenities available. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals, store the food we brought along, and to get our coffee fix! There were lots of windows throughout the house providing natural light and peaceful views. Two portable a/c units (one on each floor) help keep the house cool in the summer. If you bring pups, the back yard is fenced, with several trees for shade, and many interesting features for them to explore. Just keep in mind, there is some low-lying cactus present (as is common in this region), so if your pups are not used to avoiding cactus, you might want to keep a close eye on them. We loved sitting on the backyard porch enjoying the peace and quiet, and the sunrises above the mountains are amazing! This property is located just a short walk from "downtown" Crestone, where you'll find some cute little pocket parks, a few eateries with great reviews, etc. We would love to stay here again!
