The Green Gem

This was a lovely VRBO. Spacious, clean, well stocked and even fresh flowers! Only hitch was due to my map reading skills- while Expedia claimed it was 19 miles from Great Sand Dunes National Park it was actually an hour drive away! That said there was some other great hiking nearby (recommend Willow Lake Trail). Thanks for a nice stay!

Beautiful home, very clean and well stocked! It felt like a home away from home for our visit to Crestone. We came from Sand dunes national park and were really excited by the Dark Sky! Slept really well in cozy beds and had coffee on the sunny porch in the morning. Bliss! 😁 Will be back!

This place is definitely a gem! The kitchen was so well equipped I was able to make all of my own meals there.

This property was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware.We enjoyed our view of the nearby mountains from the balcony and even saw a passing black bear one evening.

Beautiful house, great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house was lovely, very comfortable, and smelled like a spa when we arrived. I especially appreciated the owner's environmentally friendly approach, including saving food scraps for compost. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, and the thoughtful extras made a big difference. I was particularly grateful for the coffee and Ziploc bags that were provided. After being on a 10-day trip, I had run out of coffee and didn't want to purchase an entire new bag for just our last two days; that small touch was greatly appreciated.The host was excellent at communicating and made everything easy and stress-free.The only thing worth noting is that the Vrbo listing states that Great Sand Dunes National Park is about an 18-minute drive away, which was not accurate during our stay. The drive was closer to an hour. However, this is more of a listing issue than a problem with the home itself.Overall, this was a lovely place to stay, and we would happily return.

We loved everything about the Green Gem, from the fully equipped kitchen, to the top knotch beds, the modern & sleek bathroom, the outdoor deck & balcony, and the finer details (organic coffee, lovely flowers in several vases, high quality soaps, & room sprays, etch) - Leah has thoughtfully curated a wonderful stay! It was an especially great home base for our family of four, and our two young adult sons for their ambitious & successful summiting of Crestone & Little Bear peaks. We would welcome the chance to stay here again!

Wonderful property and beautiful home! Was so cozy and welcoming and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend, but it was a much further drive to the sand dunes than we had thought when booking. It was an hour drive to Sand Dunes national park entrance.

Excellent place to stay. Everything was comfortable and well thought out. We would definitely stay here again.

The Green Gem is absolutely wonderful! It has so many touches that make it feel like a home away from home. Beautiful surroundings, and Leah was a wonderful host!

Lovely home, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, easy communication with host and very clean. Would highly recommend.

This is one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in! The cleanliness and additional touches were much appreciated. We would love to return and enjoy the peacefulness of the property and the beauty of the surrounding area.

From the moment we drove up, we knew that this was going to be a very nice place in a beautiful location and it was! Very clean, nicely appointed, just offered a fun and cozy vibe. Communication was always quick and very helpful - we loved it and would definitely recommend the place and the town. Lived up to its name; an absolute gem!

Yes the kitchen was fully equipped and the view was amazing! Really great property we will book again! Thank You!

The property is very well-appointed! The host has thought of everything you could need. We found it very easy & comfortable to stay there. We also loved having our dog with us and it was comfortable for him as well!

This was truly a gem! Our family stayed 3 nights and could not be happier. The house was clean, comfortable, and roomy. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable and the view from the back y cannot be beat. We loved watching the sunset and stars from there. This is a must stay if you can snag it!

10/10 Amazing

Have you ever wanted to check in to a rental and be greeted with fresh flowers and have every possible thing you could ever need, including a bundt pan!?! Then this is the place for you!You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and attention into the design and details for this cabin. Everything feels new and high-end, including fancy soaps, coffee, and shampoo! I normally feel the need to wipe down and disinfect most rentals, but not this one because it was so clean. Even the dishes were spotless. Bonuses:- Filtered water was delicious to drink- Lots of dishes so you aren’t having to wash the same 6 plates over and over- Beautiful, live plants in the cabin- Portable speaker- Electric fireplace that can put out heat- Lots of games and puzzles- New, great-working appliances- Recycle and compostThis cabin truly has everything you could possibly want, and I would hesitate to stay here again! Hoping to in the future!

This place was amazing! My friend and I were very comfortable and our 2 dogs loved it as well. House had everything we needed, including small accommodations for the dogs. We felt right at home. Great location, stunning views of mountains all around. Would definitely come back.

We enjoyed the quiet location with beautiful views of the mountains. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beautiful decor made us feel comfortable and the natural cleaning products and bathroom equipment was a plus. Was very happy with the policy allowing us to bring our dog.

We felt so at home! The space was thoughtful and comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Peaceful house, great location and well stocked place. Enough room to place a large dog kennel next to the kitchen table.Neighborhood is really quiet which is exactly what we needed. The crestone book was an interesting read and recommended perusing. Only suggestion is to add a deck of cards, uno, skipbo like games to the collection of games.

This house has the best stocked kitchen of any short-term we've stayed in. The home is newly remodeled, spacious and very clean. The beds were firm and comfortable. There were ample towels and blankets throughout the home. There was a side yard where we could let our dogs run around, and that was great. It's a very quiet location with deer around, and million dollar views of the mountains. Each room had its own thermostat, so you can dial in the temperature. The smart tv allowed us to watch a couple of movies. The owners left some eggs and fantastic coffee beans for our use. Just a wonderful stay. We will rent this house again next year.

Awesome place. If possible would give them a 7 star rating. Modern luxurious interior with everything you need and more. Great communication and various small touches like having ice ready and bottled water in the fridge. Highly recommended!
