Our unique Crestone Hideaway home is available for you to experience the full cosmic vibe of Crestone & the San Luis Valley. Our home is designed and outfitted with recycled, upcycled, & reimagined materials - which all contribute to the very off-beat comfort of our home. We offer full use of our quirky adobe & stucco home. Built from straw bale and traditional framing we have a comfy living area, 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, fully appointed kitchen, dining room for 4+, & a huge outdoor deck made from bleacher seats. We also feature not-quite-plumb walls, church pews, tree trunks, boulders, antique doors, & home-grown design. The off-grid life is special by cutting out the noise of on-grid living. Our ranch is fully powered by solar (& back-up generator). We also have hi-speed wifi. We do not skimp on amenities and comfort with evap cooling (not drying A/C) and other features you will enjoy. We love sharing the peaceful quiet laid-back lifestyle of the Crestone area. The front bedroom has a front row seat to the deck and the Sangre de Cristo mountains just through the french doors. It has a full bed and a single trundle. The master bedroom offers a queen bed, beautiful southerly view, wood-burning stove, spacious sitting area, and opportunity for rejuvenating & relaxing. We're in the International Dark Sky community. The stars are magnificent. You will be amazed by the vast expanse of the universe. The Great Sand Dunes National Park - the tallest and most amazing sand dunes in North America - are visible from almost everywhere on our property. Look to the south to see this alternate view. Plan to make a day-trip to the Dunes! Don't forget about the Ziggurat (it's visible from our deck too). We are also close to several natural hot springs resorts with both family friendly and clothing optional locations. And the choices for hiking are too numerous to list. This is your headquarters for a fabulous time in the SLV.

Our local host is a lovely woman who has spent most of her adult life in Crestone. She is dedicated to making sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Michael and I (owners) are native / almost native to Colorado. We love what the entire state offers, but especially the uniqueness of southern Colorado. We are dedicated to recycling, upcycling, and reusing available materials - all of which we used to rebuild this house. We honor the land and the environment of Crestone and the San Luis Valley. Please feel free to ask questions about how we rescued this house from abandonment. Crestone is a very special place - we welcome you with open arms!

This is the high desert and deep in the Dark Sky community. Is is truly a desert with sand and cactus and wind and the howl of coyotes. It is very dry here with extreme fire danger alerts most of the year. It is part of the charm and character of the San Luis Valley. Please remember that sound carries out here in the middle of everywhere. Our neighbors aren't close, but they are nearby should we need them. We strive to be considerate of the entire valley by keeping our exterior lights off at dark and keeping to ourselves (noise to a minimum). We love it here and love our neighbors
