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. ##### TakeAhike K.

It’s nicely furnished and comfortable with plenty of spaces for togetherness or solitude. Nice porch with comfy furniture and a gas fire pit, as well as a balcony off the loft. The host was very accessible when we had questions. A great stay! ##### Jenn W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick R. Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views! This place had amazing views and was just what we were looking for to use as a short stay on our way home from the Ouray area and to see the Great Sand Dunes National Park before leaving Colorado back to Wisconsin. The owner answered all questions both leading up to the trip, and while staying at the house. Be prepared, there is not much of anything in the area for shops or food, but there is a dollar general 20 minutes away and a great place for food named "Food is art". They treated my family of 7 wonderfully! Walmart and other major places are about an hour away. The great sand dunes were about an hour away as well, but Crestone was the closest area with rental homes and we were not disappointed. One more tip... DO NOT WEAR SANDLES TO THE DUNES. Wear shoes and socks. The sand was hot! But so worth the trip! ##### Patrick R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Larry P. May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stargazer 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. ##### Larry P.

There was plenty of space for my 3 kids and I to be together or spread out for alone-time when needed. It’s well-equipped from the kitchen to the outdoor spaces. The beds were comfortable and I think I actually slept through the night. I’m not usually able to do so when I travel. We will definitely stay again if we travel back to Crestone. ##### Ashley P.

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! ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023
