Earthship Stunning Views

Very pleasant stay overall in a unique space and place. Views, birds, stars, location, and communication with owner was all great. While Earthship designs have evolved significantly since this one was built, it still functioned very well with minimal-to-no supplemental heating needed for comfort. One of the Earthship principles is contained / repurposed trash, so it was disappointing to see trash on the land along the periphery of the yard. I can tell the owner is making consistent effort to improve the property, however, so I am hopeful it will be cleaned up. Co-host who lives in a separate structure onsite was very welcoming, friendly, and delightful to talk to. He is happy to interact when engaged, and keeps to himself otherwise, so privacy inside the Earthship was not an issue. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Yes, pets are welcome

I love that there was an actual stove. Very quiet and private . Loved the interior and the art. Very cozy and comfortable.

This was a very unique and bespoke property. We appreciated the earthen home and all of the thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the getaway for our family and greatly appreciated that our dog was welcome! Thomas was a gracious and welcoming host that respects the privacy of guests and is a pleasure to talk with. The fire pit was removed due to the extreme drought and winds present. We enjoyed using the wood stove inside! This is a lovely, eccentric property in which you can have a unique experience and enjoy tranquility, dark skies and solitude!

Second time we stayed here and it’s dreamy! We’d like to have stayed longer.

Clean, comfortable space with wonderful vibes in a peaceful and private location. The views are absolutely incredible and made the stay even more special. The property is exactly as described — no surprises, just a perfect match to the listing.It was well worth the 45-minute (give or take) drive to both the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Zapata Falls. The little town of Crestone is funky in the best way and had everything we needed for our stay.We also enjoyed meeting the owner’s father, who lives on the property in his own private place. He’s a charming, interesting fellow who added to the experience without ever intruding.We loved watching the mule deer that visited regularly, and the magpies were fun to see as well. This property made it so easy to relax and unplug — exactly what we were hoping for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering it.

Sean and Thomas were terrific hosts. The location truly has to be experienced to understand how special it is. A jaunt to the sand dunes, 3 different hot springs, and the UFO watchtower and only a quick drive to Crestone makes it very well situated. We were able to crate our dog, Maggie, near a partially shaded window where she slept and watched birds all day. If you love the sky, you'll absolutely fall in love with this place. Highly recommend.

I had such a relaxing time and enjoyed the scenery and the outdoor activities as well as getting to explore the spaces on the property!

We were only here for a short time and wish we could’ve stayed longer! It was a cozy space with all the amenities described. My favorite part was stepping outside in the middle of the night to see the brilliant stars. The homemade paintings in the space were a great touch :)

What a beautiful and quiet place! If I’m ever back in the area I’d stay here again without question!

It's a rare treat to be on acres of land and open space such that surrounds this home. More than anything, the house has a peaceful, welcoming feel. Not too fancy schmancy, but not run down. It was very clean, which is often a wild card with short rentals. I enjoyed the unimpeded views of the Sangre de Cristos as well as the range on the other side of the valley. Crestone has not one but two grocery stores, and a hardware store! I guess my only warning is: Bring your own honey. Of the spices and staples the hosts provide at this house, I did not find sugar or honey.
