The house was everything we expected and more. The views from the house are insane and the night sky is magical. I messed up the booking and forgot to include that we were bringing our dog and Leah responded swiftly to help us get that fixed. 10/10 would recommend staying here. We hope to return sometime!

Everything in the home is of quality. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with well spaced out properties. Enjoyed being able to walk the local trails between longer excursions. Wonderful spot to enjoy the stars and skies from. Extremely clean and well cared for upon arrival. Host Leah was quick to respond to any questions.

Truly felt like home away from home - but upgraded! Leah was a fabulous host and thinks of everything. Well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, dog towels, sheets, & bowls. My pups and I had a wonderful getaway from the Denver fireworks for the long weekend. We had some lovely day trips to Alamosa, the Sand Dunes, and Zapata Falls. Thanks Leah!

Wonderful property and beautiful home! Was so cozy and welcoming and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend, but it was a much further drive to the sand dunes than we had thought when booking. It was an hour drive to Sand Dunes national park entrance.

We loved everything about the Green Gem, from the fully equipped kitchen, to the top knotch beds, the modern & sleek bathroom, the outdoor deck & balcony, and the finer details (organic coffee, lovely flowers in several vases, high quality soaps, & room sprays, etch) - Leah has thoughtfully curated a wonderful stay! It was an especially great home base for our family of four, and our two young adult sons for their ambitious & successful summiting of Crestone & Little Bear peaks. We would welcome the chance to stay here again!

This was truly a gem! Our family stayed 3 nights and could not be happier. The house was clean, comfortable, and roomy. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable and the view from the back y cannot be beat. We loved watching the sunset and stars from there. This is a must stay if you can snag it!

This was a lovely VRBO. Spacious, clean, well stocked and even fresh flowers! Only hitch was due to my map reading skills- while Expedia claimed it was 19 miles from Great Sand Dunes National Park it was actually an hour drive away! That said there was some other great hiking nearby (recommend Willow Lake Trail). Thanks for a nice stay!

Beautiful home, very clean and well stocked! It felt like a home away from home for our visit to Crestone. We came from Sand dunes national park and were really excited by the Dark Sky! Slept really well in cozy beds and had coffee on the sunny porch in the morning. Bliss! 😁 Will be back!
