The Birdhouse was a great place to getaway in the quirky town of Crestone. Place was clean and we were glad to have a place to cook a meal with Crestone being closed everywhere on a Sunday. We would definitely stay again

This was a quiet, peaceful, tranquil get away. The birdhouse was comfortable and relaxing. It has everything you need for a peaceful getaway. Crestone has lots of great hiking and spiritual retreats. The Great Sand Dune National Park is about an hour away, the drive has spectacular views.
It's very cozy and clean plenty of towels.The kitchen set up perfectly if you want to really cook. The refrigerator's small. The host amazing.I was caught here in a blizzard and they gave me a night I think i've found a new place to stay when I have to come up to crestone. crecrestonher

Check in at 4. Lock box. No code. Didn’t answer call that I had to get the number for. Didn’t answer call when Expedia called. Ruined my entire vacation. Had to stay elsewhere cause he was mountain biking. And that’s more important then a business. So pissed.
Definitely cozy studio with great location. I went for a couple nights with my girlfriend to enjoy all the hiking near Crestone and Great Dunes. The house itself has a nice view of the nearby San Juan mountains, is well maintained, some of the appliances are archaic but easy to use. It was exactly what we needed and at a fair price.

About the host
Hosted by Jason Anderson
Why they chose this property
The Birdhouse is a small studio apartment that is perfect for a single person on retreat or couple looking to get away. It was named for the large number of barn swallows that nest in and around the structure in the summer. You will see them circling the area in the mornings and evenings.
What makes this property unique
The Birdhouse is blessed with amazing land. It is a short walk to trails, water, and a bit further the spiritual centers. If you are into nature, this place is awesome. Wonderful hiking is available both near and far. Road and mountain biking is also close.
