The host was wonderful, very responsive her staff made sure my needs were met to the best of their ability. The home is located in a beautiful setting, lots of peace and privacy. I have to say I was concerned about the bears (due to drought there is a lot of activity), since it was pretty hot out and I had to keep windows open to cool it down at night and the back side of the house is subterranean so the window sill height is at the ground level. I also was anticipating being able to look out the picture window throughout the day, since I was on a solo retreat, but I had to shut the shades at about 10 am in order to try to keep the heat out of the home. That was disappointing.But all in all I loved the house, great vibes, very clean, including all the kitchen appliances and cookware etc.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie & Joe Wakeman, Carrie Propst

Host profile image
Joe and Bonnie are Artists from Minnesota who moved to the Mountains of Colorado over 40 years ago. After retiring from 35+ years of Decorative Painting and Art Careers they moved to The Baca & Crestone area. "We Love the peace and quiet, the intriguing aspect of the Spiritual Centers, and the variety of skilled Artists who reside here. We were drawn to this unique landscape of Colorado Mountains, the vast Valley, and the designated Dark Sky location for Spectacular Starry Nights! The quaint Village of Crestone, nearby Hot Springs destinations, and the Amazing Great Sand Dunes National Park, also makes this area an ongoing adventure!"

Why they chose this property

We Love our Casa neighborhood and the wonderful people who choose to live here. We look out for each other, we Love the Quiet, and have great Respect for each other.

What makes this property unique

We fell in Love with this Property for the unique home, the Blessings that were bestowed upon the Stone Circles, and the TeePee Poles before the canvas. We especially love that a portion of our Casa is in the earth, emerging out towards the landscape. The trees protect it often from big valley winds and the birds love it here, as well!
