The Raven's Nest - Inspiration, Solitude, & Nature
Peaceful Mountain Retreat with Breathtaking Views!
Escape to serenity in this charming and cozy studio nestled in the heart of the Crestone Baca, just 6 miles south of the unique spiritual town of Crestone, Colorado. Ideal for a quiet getaway or a creative retreat, this remote space offers stunning, nearly 360-degree, views of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the vast San Luis Valley.
This light-filled studio comfortably sleeps up to 2 adults, or 2 adults and a child, with a comfortable queen bed and a twin hide-a-bed for extra sleeping space. Whether you're visiting for rest, inspiration, or to explore the natural and spiritual wonders of the area, you'll feel right at home here.
Inside, enjoy modern amenities designed for comfort and convenience, including:
Reliable WiFi for remote work or streaming
Air conditioning and heating to stay cozy in any season
A hair dryer and essential toiletries to lighten your packing
A thoughtfully equipped compact kitchen featuring a two-burner stove, compact fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker plus coffee, toaster, and tea kettle—perfect for preparing simple meals or morning coffee with a view.
Step outside onto your private deck and be immersed in the natural beauty surrounding you. Watch deer grazing below and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of a coyote wandering through the brush. With the peaks of the Sangres rising dramatically to the east and the wide-open views across the valley to the San Juan Mountains, you may find yourself spending hours simply soaking in the magic of the landscape.
Whether you're hiking, sitting by a roaring creek, meditating, stargazing, or simply unwinding, this peaceful mountain haven offers a memorable stay in one of Colorado’s most unique and soulful regions. It's one of Crestone's most booked short term rentals.
