Wonderful for our group of five
Though expensive for my budget, the property afforded a very spacious and comfortable stay for our out of state family visitors.
The Stargazer is aptly named- watching the stars from the upper deck, and the glorious "sangre de cristos" sunsets was heaven. The house was a wonderful base for our hiking adventures!

Serenity
Because this home is well cared for and well stocked, our stay here was carefree. The area is known for its peacefulness and we felt it. The house is located about half way between the town (two grocery stores offering healthful foods) and a trailhead that begins several good hikes into the beautiful mountains that provide a beautiful view from the town and this house's deck specifically.

Great place for stargazing under dark skies!
Really nice property which we are interested in staying at again, perhaps in the cooler spring months. It would be an outstanding property with air conditioning added.

Great family trip
Beautiful home in the mountains. My kids loved the keyboard and the foosball table!! Perfect one hour trip to the sand dunes. If you have small kids be aware that there are about three stairs in the home without a railing (was fine for my kids aged 4+). Fun hammock as well! Thanks for sharing your home!!

Quiet location
This place is of off the beaten path. It is located an hour from Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was clean, quiet and well kept. It was a little warm when we arrived considering it doesnt have a/c. There were not many restaurants to choose from in the area. Overall I would recommend.

Beautiful home, peaceful place
This place was excellent for our short stay near Great Sand Dune Nat. Park. Very peaceful setting, spacious home with good bedding and towels. We did not know it was “mosquito season” and the swarming made it hard to use the decks at most points in the day or night. The smoking coils we purchased after the first night helped a bit in mid-day, so that’s just something to prepare for. The grill was not cleaned and no propane but those things do happen and the host apologized. We wish we could have enjoyed the outside area more but for our short stay it was a good experience. Overall, we enjoyed this place as a simple and lovely base as we toured around the area for a couple days.
This property was located about 45 minutes from The Great Sand Dunes NP visitor center. The home was very private, clean and well provisioned. Our favorite spot was the deck off of the loft which had a wonderful view of the mountains as well as the sunrise. The wrap around deck also had a great view where you could watch the sun set. There were many extras that added to the uniqueness of the rental. We would highly recommend it.
Very clean and welcoming home. My family enjoyed their entire stay.

Lovely cabin
The views of the valley and the mountains were superb. My 10 year old son appreciated the foosball table. Bedrooms and quality of mattresses was great. A perfect basecamps for exploring the Sand Dunes and Crestone.

Lovely getaway
Great property! Open floor plan with great bedrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Will stay again!
The Stargazer was and is as good as advertised: it was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and full of amenities. But the most important piece to us is that it was peaceful - a welcome respite from the running around and hoteling we had done on the first part of our Colorado trip. We had space to spread out, do our own cooking, and travel around to all of the great hiking destinations in the area. And let’s not forget that it is called the Stargazer for a reason: my family and I marveled for three nights at the clear, dark sky offering unparalleled views of multiple constellations and the Milky Way. It is a memory that we will share forever! Thank you, Namita - you are an excellent and communicative host!

Nice clean property
Really enjoyed our stay here! The views were gorgeous and lots of room for my husband and I and 5 adult children. Very clean and plenty of blankets, towels etc. Good distance for travel to the Great Sand Dunes and other local attractions like Zapata Falls, Marshall Pass and other hiking trails. Joyful Journey mineral springs spa was relaxing and beautiful with its day pass for soaking. Only drawback was Crestone itself had few amenities. The local grocery store had limited items so just plan ahead to get groceries before arrival.
