5.0 / 5.0
My sister & I loved our stay. We were so impressed as we had everything and more provided for us. It was on the far end of the Baca, so the view and solitude was exceptional. The porch for our meals and meditations was the best, looking out across the valley.
Would've love an inside table to eat at though.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful little place and hat want we needed.
5.0 / 5.0
The location and views from the upper rooms are without equal. You will sleep in silence, awake to beauty, and thank your lucky dark-sky stars you chose so wisely.
The property manager, Erin, is just as wonderful. I needed her help (due to idiocy on my behalf) - and she came racing to my rescue with a smile on her face and the most genuine, heart-centered concern you can imagine.
I highly recommend staying at this property (and hope its available the next time I visit Crestone!).
4.0 / 5.0
We chose the listing because we were hoping to be in the town of Crestone and spa/whirlpool. Advertised location was’t the correct location on the map and no whirlpool. We didn't realize we were going to be in a development 25 minutes from our group. Clarification of rental wasn’t revealed until rental was completed.
That being said, the rental was clean, quiet, and had extra details(coffee, tea, candy, shampoo/conditioner, notebook with details).
5.0 / 5.0
Very clean property, well-stocked, very comfortable. Clear instructions from host.
5.0 / 5.0
The Dark Sky community was great! The room was perfect for what we needed—I loved the location and the views.
5.0 / 5.0
I appreciated a lot about this upstairs apartment: the light, the deck, the amenities of the mini-kitchen, and addition of an AC unit that really helped during the hot summer days. The manager was incredibly quick to respond to a few issues that came up with the electrical. I would suggest some better ambient lighting, like a floor lamp and/or better and more table lamps. There's one in the bedroom with a switch that even my tiny hands could barely get to under the shade! And I was lucky that the folks in the unit below were very quiet. In all, I really enjoyed my 6 day stay.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a spotless and very comfortable property. Various local towns were easily accessible.
