About this property

The Open-Plan Penthouse

We have one Penthouse covering the 2nd story, up a flight of stairs, nestled in the trees, with a small verandah to hang out on, right off the park. Great for romantic getaways, family's and groups of four! My place is close to Moffat - which is equal distance between Alamosa and Salida. It is the launch pad to the fun things to do out here in the middle of no-where. You’ll love my place because of the views, the location, the people, the ambiance, and the outdoors space.

We are located at:
187 West Silver Ave, Crestone, CO 81131
Check in at 3:30 pm, check out at 10:30 . We are a non-smoking property. Feel free to smoke on your verandah.

Large room, king size bed, living room, dining for four, kitchen with 4-burner gas stove and service for four, 6-ft bath tub - generally big enough for two! Coffee maker with organic coffee & sugar. We also provide creamer and tea. TV with Roku (Netflix provided) Organic shampoo, conditioner and body wash & hair dryer. The couch opens up and has an upgraded mattress.

We are a tourist destination for the great hiking (all levels), as well as many spiritual retreat centers, peace, quiet and beauty. We can be a sleepy town with many smatterings of Fun. There are several hot springs 30-40 mins away, as well as the Great Sand Dunes, alligator park and UFO park.

The Penthouse is the top floor. I have the easiest check in possible! I give you a combination to get in, so check in is on your own timing. There should be no other need to have contact unless you like it! Myself or my manager are open to meeting all my guests needs/questions. However, unless they come to me - I give them total space, peace and quiet! Checking out is simple. All you do is leave! If you have any questions or problems - please call or text.

The views are awesome in town, majestic and unique with the ever changing and beautiful lighting. We have a unique town - full of spiritual retreats and outrageous hiking for all levels. It is fairly quiet - yet we do have fun for such a sleepy little town. There is also horse riding a few miles away.
It's the perfect location in the park in town and walking distance to all shops.

Town is a few blocks big - walking is the best public transport! While you can walk to anything in downtown Crestone this is a very remote area without public transportation so you do need a vehicle.

Crestone is one of the most beautiful places to be for hiking and spiritual adventures! There are many hikes with 14,000 ft peaks and for all levels. Also, the peaceful majestic beauty attracts folks from all over the world that come to attend one of the many retreats at the dozen or so spiritual centers. A few miles away are horse riding/stables. 30-45 minutes away are Joyful Journey Hot Springs - famous for it's healing waters. Also there is the most magnificent Valley View Hot Springs - focused outdoors with incredibly beautiful vistas. It is clothing optional. Both offer massages.

Centrally located in Crestone, nice place

We stayed two nights on a trip to the Sand dunes… It was centrally located in Crestone, convenient to the market and coffee shop. Would stay here again. Not fancy, perfect for a Nice peaceful getaway. Beautiful views, you can’t beat Crestone. Be mindful there are stairs and grass to walk-through upon arrival. We very much enjoyed our time there. The vaulted ceilings are nice and makes it feel bigger. Suggestion: a bit of shelving in the bathroom (maybe where the towels are stored) would be a nice addition. Lovely, lovely getaway.

Stellar

The accommodations were fantastic. The communication was stellar, we asked if we could check in earlier and they let us, which was terrific. We stayed the weekend of June 22. The only recommendation I have (which has nothing to do with the place we stayed) the mosquitos were insane. Make sure you’re prepared for that.

Even better than we expected

The high score on the reviews led us to believe this would be a fun place to stay, but it was even better than we expected. Photos don't do justice to how roomy the penthouse feels inside. Also, there's a park right at the bottom of the stairs for dog walking AND it even has a poop bag station in case you forget yours. And, finally, not only is the bed is super comfortable, but so are the pillows. I'm super picky about pillows, so I always travel with my own. But I needn't have bothered staying here :=) We will definitely be back!!!!!!

Great spot

Crestone is a very small town near some of the most spectacular scenery in Colorado. Our stay in the Penthouse at Bliss Inn was clean, well appointed, and roomy. We loved our little balcony. Everything is within a couple of blocks. Speedy response from property manager.

Very nice!

Lovely place close to grocery store, coffee, cute shops and a pub. Very walkable town. Close drive to the dunes! Drawbacks were food prep. Didn’t pay much attention when arrived and picked up A pizza and frozen appetizers at the grocery store. Got back to unit only to discover no oven and no microwave. We cooked pizza in a frying pan. I would strongly suggest adding a microwave and a guest handbook with suggestions on where to eat and other businesses to visit. Also there is no AC. I was worried about this at first as I get VERY hot when I sleep but things cooled off nicely at night and I slept well. Very quiet nights. Over all great place in this very unique town. Loved the pub and coffee shop.

Sweet and cozy!

Great, friendly, quaint neighborhood. The studio is very roomy and the king bed was super comfortable. The pullout sofa provided the much needed space for the kids. The room came with coffee and sugar. The grocery store across the street was convenient for getting any condiments, food. Note that there is neither an oven nor a microwave. The pots and pans were limited, but was sufficient for our stay. Overall no major complaints and the calmness of the town added value points for everything.

Lovely!

We try to make all of our trips around Colorado family oriented meaning myself, my husband, and our dog. So we always look for accommodations that will allow for a dog to join us. This was very easy to do with this listing. And the park was right there so it was very easy to make sure the dog was taken care of. It’s such a small little town everything is so walkable and this is just central to all of it. And very very easy to get to the dunes - we really enjoyed ourselves and we definitely come back again. I’ve already recommended it to other friends.
