I cannot express how absolutely wonderful our stay here was! So clean and comfortable, beautiful house and AMAZING Mountain views, breathtaking stargazing, I could go on and on. Well equipped kitchen and great grill. And above all, the host is amazing. She is so responsive and helpful. We did not want to leave!
We enjoyed our stay at the comfortable Stargazer Cabin. Bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately it was too chilly to sit on the decks but they are lovely. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

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.
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!
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.
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!
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!

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!
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.
This house was perfect for our family stay. We had 5 adults and lots of room to hang out. We wish we could have stayed longer. The house was fully stocked with all the necessary kitchen equipment to cook full meals, coffee supplies, and even a few snacks and drinks, left by the host. Loved the out door seating areas and the quietness of the neighborhood. The views were amazing from the 2 floor deck. The communication, check in and house instructions, with the host was through and easy. Would definitely recommend this property!!!!
