Peace and Serenity

This little retreat is just as illustrated on the site. It is so peaceful and quiet in this location, and the views from the living and dining space is beautiful. The owners were gracious and communicative, and went out of their way to deliver two items we inadvertently left behind, for which we are so grateful! It was the perfect place for a short getaway to slow down, avoid screens and steep ourselves in peace and quiet.

Easy, comfortable getaway

The property was clean and well maintained, and the view from the back deck is gorgeous. There were a few minor things missing (pot holders, spoons), and the driveway is a bit rough to get in and out of, but overall a lovely place.

Cool place

It’s a drive to get to the house but well worth it. House is clean and furnished nicely. We cooked steaks and veggies on the stove and finished the night on the porch having a great time. Will recommend for people.

Nice place to stay for the night. Only downsides were no fan in the bathroom, and no TV. Otherwise, a very nice stay!

Cozy and Clean

This home was well located in a nice neighborhood. Great location if visiting the sand dunes which is about an hour’s drive. Beds were comfortable. Beware in warm months…the house gets VERY warm and did not cool down at night. Washer was smelly/mildewy, so we decided not to take advantage of that amenity. Overall, a good stay.

Amazing dark sky experience!

If you are looking to get away from it all, unplug, unwind, or just see the millions of stars, this is your place! Being able to bring our 2 dogs with us was just the bonus we needed to book. The price, including all fees was reasonable and beat out other homes we looked into. Ted communicated all the details we needed before we even left home. He answered questions in a timely manner. Everything we needed was provided! Board games, card games, soap, shampoo, appliances, cookware, even a washer and dryer. 15 minutes to 2 different grocery stores. 1 hour to the Sand Dunes or Alamosa if you need some bigger city items or entertainment.

This property is exactly like the pictures, except the night sky viewing is SO MUCH MORE than a picture can show! The house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway, including anything you may have forgotten for your dog. Every detail has been thought of. We enjoyed staying here!

Relaxing time

The property was updated and well maintained. The windows are a major plus as they enable a fantastic view. Property opener was very responsive to our inquiries before arriving. All communication was timely. We did have a difficult time with mosquitos. We were there the first week of July. Local merchants indicated this year was the worse they ever experienced. This difficulty had nothing to do with the property or the owner. It simply was an environmental inconvenience. However, if you are planning to experience the Great Sand Dunes, there were zero mosquitos while sand boarding.

Great place to Stay!

It was newly remodeled and they did a good job! Furniture was new and comfortable. The only suggestion is that the windows need to be washed. Thanks, you helped make a great weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Ted Ehlert

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Ted and together with my wife, Karen, am your host in Crestone. We’re Midwesterners by birth, and mountain-lovers by spirit. We met while trekking the Gobi desert in Mongolia and have moved 1,000s of miles ever since, usually following my job as a Marine Corps Officer, but always trying to locate near a great hospital for my wife’s career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We currently live and work in Baltimore, MD, and are still a few years from leaving the hustle of the city and the 9-5 (8-6!) to settle in our mountain home. So until then, welcome to our home and please enjoy the mountains, clean air, Dark Skies, wildlife, temples, and wonderful small-town vibe of Crestone!

Why they chose this property

We chose this relatively modern cottage for the cozy and home-y feel that its open concept and intimate family space provides — and for the views! We could just sit and stare at the peaks for hours, and hope you find it as inspiring and relaxing as we do!

What makes this property unique

We hope you will especially appreciate the interior paint scheme, rich flooring, and the swaths of natural light that bathe the house in brightness. We want to be attuned to nature, and the wall-to-wall windows and vast green space surrounding 3708 provide solitude and privacy. We plan to enhance the outdoor space with a privacy fence to the West, expanded patio and outdoor seating, and eventually a hot tub! So bookmark us and book us again as we continue to enhance the amenities and experience! Namaste!
