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!
Because this home is well cared for and well stocked, our stay here was carefree. The area is known for its peacefulness and we felt it. The house is located about half way between the town (two grocery stores offering healthful foods) and a trailhead that begins several good hikes into the beautiful mountains that provide a beautiful view from the town and this house's deck specifically.
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.
Beautiful home in the mountains. My kids loved the keyboard and the foosball table!! Perfect one hour trip to the sand dunes. If you have small kids be aware that there are about three stairs in the home without a railing (was fine for my kids aged 4+). Fun hammock as well! Thanks for sharing your home!!
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!
This place is of off the beaten path. It is located an hour from Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was clean, quiet and well kept. It was a little warm when we arrived considering it doesnt have a/c. There were not many restaurants to choose from in the area. Overall I would recommend.
This place was excellent for our short stay near Great Sand Dune Nat. Park. Very peaceful setting, spacious home with good bedding and towels. We did not know it was “mosquito season” and the swarming made it hard to use the decks at most points in the day or night. The smoking coils we purchased after the first night helped a bit in mid-day, so that’s just something to prepare for. The grill was not cleaned and no propane but those things do happen and the host apologized. We wish we could have enjoyed the outside area more but for our short stay it was a good experience. Overall, we enjoyed this place as a simple and lovely base as we toured around the area for a couple days.

This property was located about 45 minutes from The Great Sand Dunes NP visitor center. The home was very private, clean and well provisioned. Our favorite spot was the deck off of the loft which had a wonderful view of the mountains as well as the sunrise. The wrap around deck also had a great view where you could watch the sun set. There were many extras that added to the uniqueness of the rental. We would highly recommend it.

Very clean and welcoming home. My family enjoyed their entire stay.
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.
Great property! Open floor plan with great bedrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Will stay again!

The Stargazer was and is as good as advertised: it was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and full of amenities. But the most important piece to us is that it was peaceful - a welcome respite from the running around and hoteling we had done on the first part of our Colorado trip. We had space to spread out, do our own cooking, and travel around to all of the great hiking destinations in the area. And let’s not forget that it is called the Stargazer for a reason: my family and I marveled for three nights at the clear, dark sky offering unparalleled views of multiple constellations and the Milky Way. It is a memory that we will share forever! Thank you, Namita - you are an excellent and communicative host!
Cabin was perfect. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and the loft with bonus space. Lots of games to play while waiting for the stars. Loved the views and location was close to many destinations. The Great Sand Dunes is a must, in the day and after dark.
