Tranquil Lighthouse: Incredible Valley Views

10/10 Excellent

"This was an absolutely beautiful home with stunning views and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The check in and check out processes were very easy and stress free and all the little extras made it a wonderful experience! I will definitely book again."

Crestone Basecamp - With Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. It’s super secluded and great for folks wanting to hit the Sand Dunes or have a few nights away where you can stargaze.The property was well stocked with kitchen supplies, which was a nice touch given how secluded it is — great to have everything you need for cooking and meals. Having full laundry access was a big plus too. The beds were comfortable if you like a firmer mattress.A few things to know before you go: there’s no AC, so bring your own fan if you want one (there are a couple in the bedrooms, but more would help). Nights stay cool in summer, but days can get quite hot. There are also loose dogs next door, so keep that in mind if you have a reactive dog, and watch your step in the backyard — there’s a fair amount of dog poop back there.Overall, a great property, and we’d recommend it."

The Stargazer-Your private retreat in the mountains!

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot express how absolutely wonderful our stay here was! So clean and comfortable, beautiful house and AMAZING Mountain views, breathtaking stargazing, I could go on and on. Well equipped kitchen and great grill. And above all, the host is amazing. She is so responsive and helpful. We did not want to leave!"

Charming Crestone Mountain Cottage- 1 mile from town!

10/10 Excellent

"This cottage was very tastefully decorated and nice and clean. We had timely communication with the host. The view was great and my family enjoyed a few walks in the area. Due to temperatures being above average for the area, it was a little warm. While there is an air conditioning unit in the upstairs bedroom; the downstairs is cooled by fans and opening the windows. I enjoyed the fact that there was no TV, but my kids would not agree. (They survived 6 days without a TV!) It was about 54 miles to Great Sand Dunes National Park, taking about 1 hour. We had an issue with the water heater, which was resolved with communication with the host."
