Peaceful Mountain Retreat Home-Beautiful Views, Steam Shower

This tranquil 3BD/2BA home is nestled in the trees on several acres in the Sangre de Cristo mountains at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that backs to a large open greenbelt. The magnificent views stretch from the forest to towering mountain peaks and out to the wide open San Luis Valley.

Our 2 story home has 2 bedrooms upstairs (1 with queen, 1 with 2 twin beds), and 1 bedroom downstairs (queen). There are 2 bathrooms (one on each level) and the upstairs bath has a steam shower. It is a peaceful, beautiful home, nicely decorated, with an open floor plan and many outdoor areas to enjoy.

Sip your morning coffee on the downstairs patio watching deer wander through your backyard. In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine from the covered balcony, watching the sun set over the valley and the San Juan mountains. At night step out on the upstairs deck and have your breath taken away as you gaze at an infinity of stars above the mountain peaks. Later, take a steam shower and relax in front of the fire after cooking dinner in the open-floor plan gourmet kitchen.

Our home has everything you need to provide a relaxing, rejuvenating retreat, or to simply be your comfortable base camp from which to venture into the great outdoors.

The pictures don’t capture how nice the place is! With multiple first and second floor decks you have beautiful vista views throughout the day. House was clean and well stocked with essentials and Michelle, the owner, was very helpful with things. After I left when to Aspen for the night and wished I hadn’t left the Crestone house with its Million dollar views . Would definitely stay there again!

My husband and I married each other in this glorious home 11 years ago! We come back annually to celebrate our anniversary. Michelle is the kindest and most attentive host in the world. The interior design of the home is soothing and stunning. This year we especially appreciated the new kitchen appliances as well as the new decking, luxurious counter stools and the enhanced outdoor area. It shows the care that is put into this heart-warming home. Our favorite spot in the home are the upstairs balconies. We enjoy the breath-taking sunsets from one of them and lie out and watch the stars from the other. If you want a truly relaxing and nourishing getaway this is your spot. The kitchen is amazing to cook in with a great gas stove and all the appliances and cookware you could ever need. You are caressed by the glorious Sangre De Cristo Mountains. You are so close to them that you feel like you can reach out and touch them! We are always sad to leave and take comfort in knowing we will be back the next year!

A great, quiet and beautiful place for our family for a long weekend
This place is lovely! Wonderfully laid out for myself and husband and 2 young adult children. We spent needed time just gazing at the horizon to the east one evening from the upper porch, sitting outside the main floor reading and talking in the quiet and peacefulness of this setting. The kitchen was frankly better than the one we have at home, stocked with all that we needed to make meals. It is a ways from restaurants and grocery stores, and we enjoyed cooking there knowing this. The living room was comfortable and spacious for lounging. The bedrooms are well appointed, extra clean and neat and we felt very comfortable. We went one day to the Sand Dunes, an hour away and enjoyed the long vistas on the the drive there and back just as much as the Dunes! The host, Michelle, was very communicative, helpful and responsive. We have no reservations going back. One of the best VRBO's we've ever been in!

Some unexpected issues
This property looked so perfect online that I paid for the extra insurance in case I accidentally broke something. I would stay here again but would want to know certain things were correct. 1. There is a mouse problem with mouse droppings all over the kitchen counter and my bedspread; this is not unusual for rural properties in the fall. 2. At least half of the pots and pans were quite dirty; we washed them all. 3. The dishwasher is not secure so that when you open the door the racks come flying out; not a big deal but be careful. 4. The decks have beautiful views but the decking is disintegrating; I think this is supposed to be repaired in the fall of 2022. 5. Perhaps the thing we disliked the most were the blinds that would not stay up in the living room. The view out the windows was important to us. 6. This may not seem like a big deal but we stayed for a week and cooked all meals at home; the cooking knives were impossibly dull and there was no knife sharpener. The location and views were amazing, the upstairs master bedroom and bath were beautiful, the downstairs queen bedroom was pretty cramped. The kitchen was nicely laid out. This property needs a mid-season tune up and the housekeeper needs to check the pots and pans and the icemaker. I come to Crestone for a week every year around August or September and this is would be a very very nice house if these issues are delt with.

A Spot Of Heaven
My husband and I married each other in this stunning home 10 years ago. We love coming back every year. If you love watching the sun set, this is the house for you! The upstairs balcony is our favorite place in the house. We also love the kitchen! Great gas stove and all sorts of wonderful pots and pans. Stunning art work on all the walls and yes we got lost in the Maya Angelou and Rumi poetry as we connected with the books on the coffee table. The peace and beauty of Crestone is incomparable to any place we have ever been and this glorious home is the place to stay in town!

Beautiful location, comfortable home
My family of 4 stayed here for 3 days while visiting the Geeat sand dunes area. The house was beautiful! Really well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms and extremely clean. Communication with owner was very easy. Road construction made the drive to Great Sand Dunes longer than it normally (1.5 hours) would be, but we’d still rather stay here. The house was about 30 minutes from Sand Dunes recreation pool - we went there multiple times, it was great! Quiet area. Loved sitting on the balcony and taking in the views. Would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful home in a private, tranquil area. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay. Michelle was very responsive and attentive. The house was quite warm in the evening/night (July) since there is no air conditioning, however, there are fans in the bedrooms. We are hoping to return again soon and would highly recommend!

Perfect Weekend
My brother and I booked this place and invited my mother and her husband down for a 4-person family celebration at the Great Sand Dunes for her retirement. This house served as a perfect space for us four adults (all over 30). The space was more than big enough for us to spend time together and find spaces for alone time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need to make dinner and there were multiple patio spaces with vistas in all directions for us to enjoy the sunset. Checkin was super easy, Michelle was kind and accessible via VRBO message (though we didn't need anything), and the location was perfect. Very highly recommend!

Excellent property in beautiful setting
The house is set in just a magnificent setting with 180 degree views across the valley. We spent several evenings just watching the incredible sunset light up the sky. The property had everything as listed and has plenty of room for 6+people. Great setting to get away from the city and unwind. The town of Crestone is a short drive away and has all basics that you would need.

Spent a week here and after other Crestone rentals in the past, this is where we plan to return. We love (1) the private peaceful location with no nearby houses, (2) the four different decks/patios with extended mountain and valley views, (3) the relaxed style and layout of the home, and (4) the easy 12 minute drive to our favorite grocery store Elephant Cloud Market. Highly recommend!
