About this property

Private Sanctuary: "A luxurious mountain oasis"

Modern and luxurious with loving design touches, the Mountain Sky Sanctuary makes the perfect retreat to connect with self and nature.

This beautiful home features high ceilings and huge windows showcasing the stunning mountain views, and offers two bedrooms, a loft space (open bedroom), two bathrooms, living room (with couch bed), dining area, and a full kitchen. The home has a brand new air conditioning system for maximum comfort on those hot summer days.

The gorgeous open-concept master suite offers a queen size bed, living area with pull out sofa bed, reading nook, full bath, and kitchen at the second bedroom is as elegant as a five star hotel with a plush queen size bed and 5 foot picture window overlooking a private landscape of juniper trees. The multipurpose loft has two fold-away twin beds, allowing it to be easily re-purposed as sleeping quarters or a space to do yoga, meditate, or just hang out.

Enjoy your modern bathrooms, one with a deep soaker tub and the other with a modern walk-in shower, both with natural slate tile and farmhouse touches. The kitchen has brand new appliances including a dishwasher and gas range, and is equipped with all the amenities you will need for a convenient and comfortable stay. Your living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together and an open floor plan so you can enjoy the views or cozy gas fireplace as you cook, dine, or just relax.

You have easy parking, TV with streaming channels, high-speed Internet, and air conditioning. The property is fully furnished and equipped, ready for you to settle right in.

Dogs are welcome (no cats please). If your dog travels with you, please let us know as we have pet amenities available for your use.

Enveloped in a tranquil and idyllic ambiance, this residence distinguishes itself from others by offering air-conditioning (an absolute necessity in the summer), a welcoming environment for your dog without additional charges and a reasonable cleaning fee. Absent are any external surveillance cameras, affording you tranquility by safeguarding your privacy without the specter of surveillance. This home offers a healthier stay with all-natural, non-toxic products, including eco-friendly dishwasher soap, allergy-free laundry detergent, and non-toxic cookware, ensuring a cleaner, more mindful environment.

The Mountain Sky Sanctuaries property sits on more than two acres of land, with no neighbors on either side and backs up to a greenbelt area ensuring privacy and quiet for your entire stay.

This home is located in the Baca Grande, a few miles and an easy drive from the town of Crestone. You will have easy access to the Great Sand Dunes National Park (about a 1 hour drive door to door) Crestone spiritual centers, several hot springs, great hikes moderate to advanced including Crestone Needle and other 14ers, the UFO tower, Colorado Gator Farm, and more...

Other things to note:

Expectations on Amenities:

Unlike most homes in this mountain area, this property DOES have air conditioning. But if you prefer to enjoy the mountain climate with open windows, there are portable fans for your comfort.

Spiral Ladder:
The loft is accessed by a spiral ladder which is not ideal for children or those who are uncomfortable with non-conforming stairs.

Noise:
We ask guests to respect quiet hours after 10 pm both inside and outside. Noise travels and we want to keep our neighbors happy so we can continue to make this space available for guests like you!

Holiday Retreat

This was just what we needed. A quiet family getaway with amazing views in a beautiful home. Home was fully equipped with everything we needed. Crestone Mercantile offered all the supplies. We enjoyed a day at Joyful hot springs and a hike up the Sand Dunes. Location was perfect and we are thankful for the communication we received.

Beautiful

The unit was superb, the condiments in the fridge was not necessary, but the first time we have seen that. Dark sky was incredible. We even hiked up to the Ziggarut! We did the jigsaw puzzle and enjoyed the newsletters, brochures and flyers that were left - read them all. Drove all the way around in Sand Dunes - much longer that ecpecgted, but those were spectacular.

Modern house in a quiet, serene neighborhood

The property was clean and modern with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The house had everything we needed and we really appreciated the dog baskets for our little Chihuahua, Banana. It was located in a quiet neighborhood with nearby stores and an hour away from the Great Sand Dunes National Park. We would be delighted to come back in the future!

Perfect Stay

Loved, loved, loved this house and property! Everything was done tastefully upscale including decorative, easy to follow labels and instructions, ease of access, and comfy beds and bedding. Beautiful views from every window and quiet neighborhood. Stars galore! It is obvious that management is professional and thoughtful. Crestone has 2 food markets, so easy getting supplies within a few minutes drive. The dog supplies were thoughtful and most appreciated! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Peaceful

Enjoyed our trip. All aspects of the property were wonderful. It looks exactly like the pictures. I recommend staying here. It is very clean. The furnishings are quite nice, and it has everything you need. We rented the entire house. Apparently, you can rent just the studio, just the house, or both. We will look to stay here again. Thank you for a lovely trip! :)

Family stay at Baca Grande

This is by far the nicest place we have ever stayed at. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is incredible. Clean, fully stocked, beautiful decor, extremely comfortable beds. Such a warm and peaceful feel to this place to compliment the mountains surrounding it. We did not want to leave! Thank you for thinking of everything a traveler would need on their vacation. We hope to be back.

Fantastic getaway!

Stayed here with my husband and parents in laws to visit the dunes. It was beautiful and clean. Check in and out instructions were easy as could be. We really appreciated all the kitchen amenities as we aren’t able to eat out due to assorted dietary restrictions. The kitchen had all we needed and then some. We were even impressed by the amenities in Crestone. Despite being a small town there was still a decent grocery store, coffee shop, and liquor store.

Modern and Well Furnished

Great house in gorgeous location. High end bedding, towels, kitchen etc. We rented entire house but there is a suite that could be rented separately — which I think would feel very uncomfortable. We stayed to go to Great Sand Dunes Nat’l Park which was a 55 min drive. There is nothing located around the house for 50 mins or so, so bring your food, etc. as that is inconvenient.

Great Place to Stargaze Before Heading to Great Sand Dunes National Park

My family of five were looking for a place to stay the night before heading to Great Sand Dunes National Park. We did not know anything about the Crestone, Colorado, area, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staircase to the upstairs beds is a lot of fun and requires a bit of balance to ascend. The bedrooms and livingroom area were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The showers were excellent. We had a little time to explore and took a short but rugged drive to the Crestone Ziggurat. Crestone is small, and the few restaurants were closed the night we were there. We went to the Crestone Mercantile and got everything we needed to eat back at the VRBO property. When we realized Crestone is in an area recognized as a Dark Sky area, we stepped outside the property between 9:30 and 10 and were awed by the spectacular view of the sky. The next morning, we headed to Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was about 30 minutes to the park entrance and close to another 30 minutes to get to the parking area. This propery and Crestone worked very well for us!
