The gorgeous open-concept master suite offers a queen size bed, living area with pull out sofa bed, reading nook, full bath, and kitchen at the second bedroom is as elegant as a five star hotel with a plush queen size bed and 5 foot picture window overlooking a private landscape of juniper trees. The multipurpose loft has two fold-away twin beds, allowing it to be easily re-purposed as sleeping quarters or a space to do yoga, meditate, or just hang out.

The kitchen has brand new appliances including a dishwasher and gas range, and is equipped with all the amenities you will need for a convenient and comfortable stay.

Other things to note:
Expectations on Amenities:
Unlike most homes in this mountain area, this property DOES have air conditioning. But if you prefer to enjoy the mountain climate with open windows, there are portable fans for your comfort.
Spiral Ladder: The loft is accessed by a spiral ladder which is not ideal for children or those who are uncomfortable with non-conforming stairs.
Noise: We ask guests to respect quiet hours after 10 pm both inside and outside. Noise travels and we want to keep our neighbors happy so we can continue to make this space available for guests like you!

This house was amazingly laid out. It was super clean and had all of the comforts of home. Loved having a real coffee maker with coffee and filtered water in the fridge. We only wished we had stayed more than one night.
The property was just as seen on the listing if not better! Very clean with a well provisioned kitchen. The view is fantastic as well. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated that our dogs were welcomed.
We love the house. The property was clean. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and very helpful. We highly recommend this house! Thank you for sharing it with us
Everything was as described in the listing. Home was clean and vibrant with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Great place to explore all the nearby attractions. I would definitely recommend it.
Great option for a quick trip to visit nearby Great Sand Dunes National Park (with a dog). Had a relaxed late meal at Bliss Cafe in nearby Crestone (again, with the dog) then settled in for the night. Breakfast at Roast Cafe in Alamosa, then on to the Park. Perfect for our party of three's short stopover; everything we could need.
We had a great stay at this awesome house. The views were amazing both inside and outside. Don’t underestimate the staircase though, it is tricky to get up and down, especially in the middle of the night.
House was super clean, well appointed and comfortable. We were staying there for just one night on our way to Great Sand Dunes NP. Would recommend going again if you are in the area!
Very comfortable and cute home! It was convenient to the great sand dunes, zapata falls, and the gator farm. They have a sweet basket of goodies for guests yes among with dogs too, it was a thoughtful touch. I definitely recommend.
This was a great little house! It was very comfortable and clean and had all the things we needed and wanted to make this a small home away from home. The host was thoughtful with all of the little touches. Only drawback is the location, while it is beautifully tucked in against the mountains it is a bit of a drive to get to most places we were trying to see.
Our stay was awesome! Everything was as advertised/listed. Fantastic views from the home. Peaceful neighborhood, everything we needed for a quiet getaway.
We had the most amazing time in Crestone! What a beautiful place to relax and adventure! The house was clean comfortable modern and there were all the amenities! We will be back for sure!
We enjoyed the home! The attention to detail was evident. We had everything we needed. If you want a secluded stay, this is for you. Make sure you get your supplies prior to getting there.
This was just what we needed. A quiet family getaway with amazing views in a beautiful home. Home was fully equipped with everything we needed. Crestone Mercantile offered all the supplies. We enjoyed a day at Joyful hot springs and a hike up the Sand Dunes. Location was perfect and we are thankful for the communication we received.
The property was clean and modern with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The house had everything we needed and we really appreciated the dog baskets for our little Chihuahua, Banana. It was located in a quiet neighborhood with nearby stores and an hour away from the Great Sand Dunes National Park.
We would be delighted to come back in the future!
This is by far the nicest place we have ever stayed at. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is incredible. Clean, fully stocked, beautiful decor, extremely comfortable beds. Such a warm and peaceful feel to this place to compliment the mountains surrounding it. We did not want to leave! Thank you for thinking of everything a traveler would need on their vacation. We hope to be back.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm so glad you all enjoyed your stay and would love to see you again!
Stayed here with my husband and parents in laws to visit the dunes. It was beautiful and clean. Check in and out instructions were easy as could be. We really appreciated all the kitchen amenities as we aren’t able to eat out due to assorted dietary restrictions. The kitchen had all we needed and then some. We were even impressed by the amenities in Crestone. Despite being a small town there was still a decent grocery store, coffee shop, and liquor store.
