    This is a lovely, well-maintained home with a nicely appointed kitchen and easy access to town. It is located in a very quiet area where you can step out the front door to view the dark sky very easily.

    Great stay. Especially nice to not have TV. Not much going on in Crestone... we actually had a hard time finding the town, but also didn't look overly hard b/c we were tired from the day. Great Sand Dunes NP is about an hour away. Beautiful area.

    Quick stay, but we loved that it was off the beaten path. Super clean. No AC, so warmer than we’re used to, but I knew that going in. Only surprise was the sheer number of mosquitos. Wow. But we used bug spray and moved along (and obviously that’s just nature and the season, certainly not a knock on the property). Would definitely recommend as a home base to explore the valley.

    This home was perfect for our stay. It was very clean, peaceful and had everything that we needed. The master bedroom is upstairs, which was somewhat difficult for my parents to get too, but it was doable. Beautiful, quiet area! Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home.

    We enjoyed the cottage and surrounding area. It was so peaceful for a much needed downtime. Wonderful amenities. We were greeted by several deer upon our arrival and heard the coyotes every night. Watching hawks soar and saw several elk.

    We enjoyed our time in Crestone at this cottage. The place is beautiful and clean. It fit our family of 5 perfectly. The kitchen is wonderful and stocked with new appliances, we enjoyed cooking our meals there. We ran into a couple problems but the manager was quick to respond and make things right. This cottage is a perfect place for a personal retreat or a home base for a family vacation. Check it out!

    The home was a welcome retreat from the heat and mosquitos. Everything is well-designed and easy to navigate. The front porch with rocking chairs was a nice place to eat ice cream after dinner and appreciate the quiet All windows had screens and it did remain pretty cool with the small fans even though there is no AC. They offered some sightseeing suggestions and overall it was wonderful.

    One of the nicest units I’ve ever stayed in. It was super comfy and so well done. Loved all the small touches. The kitchen was well appointed and the washer and dryer were great. Loved the neighborhood - peaceful and private. Crestone is a groovy little town - friendly and the two grocery stores have everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Loved it!!

    Two friends and I recently stayed at this lovely VRBO, and we'd recommend it to others! For three adults looking to spend a day at the Great Sand Dunes National Park, this home was the option that allowed for the best sleeping arrangement for the cost. Despite it being ~55min drive from the national park, it was well worth it to stay here! The home is quite remote and close to the base of the mountains, which we enjoyed as it allowed for lovely stargazing and a peaceful/quiet environment. The home was clean, the kitchen utensils and cookware were seemingly new and of high quality, and the drive to the dunes was easy. The high ceilings made the home feel spacious and airy. Additionally, the king sized bed and pillows were very comfortable and each bathroom was supplied with a microfiber face towel and cotton swabs. It felt great to unwind at this spot after a long day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
