We loved our stay at the Stargazer! It was exactly what we needed. The views were breathtaking—sunsets and sunrises each day and stargazing at night. We enjoyed being close to the Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls as well as the proximity to the market in Crestone. The house was well stocked with all the amenities we needed for cooking each night and lots of linens. The host was helpful and fast with responses. We cannot say enough great things and would absolutely recommend staying here!
This beautiful home was a perfect place for our day at Great sands dunes national park. It was immaculate and situated so peacefully in the woods. It was great for our trip with 4 grandchildren.
The Stargazer was the perfect spot for our large family! We watched the stars from the back deck and enjoyed a fun day at the sand dunes. Crestone was charming and quiet. We had everything we needed.

It was a beautiful property, well provisioned with telescope, great outdoor furniture and upscale interior. Owners were responsive and great to deal with. Fully recommend!
Had a great stay with my brothers in Crestone. House was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities we needed. Quick and friendly communicated from the host. Would definitely stay again! We especially appreciated the deck spaces and natural light throughout the house.
The Stargazer was a perfect size for our family of five. Very spacious for a few days, with great location near hikes and the quirky little town of Crestone. Highly recommended!

The Stargazer is aptly named- watching the stars from the upper deck, and the glorious "sangre de cristos" sunsets was heaven. The house was a wonderful base for our hiking adventures!
The views of the valley and the mountains were superb. My 10 year old son appreciated the foosball table. Bedrooms and quality of mattresses was great. A perfect basecamps for exploring the Sand Dunes and Crestone.
Really nice property which we are interested in staying at again, perhaps in the cooler spring months. It would be an outstanding property with air conditioning added.
