Nice house in a very interesting location
This was perfect for our family, as five bedrooms (and the washer/dryer) came in handy. The binder on the property was great, and we liked Crestone and the surrounding area a lot. It was a bit of a drive to the Sand Dunes entrance, but we knew that ahead of time, and the location worked well.

Wonderful property!
We had a great time at this lovely Crestone house. Spent our days hiking and at the sand dunes. Spent the evenings enjoying the sunset from the house and star gazing. The house is very clean, and well stocked. Couldn’t ask for more! Great place to rent!
