About this property

When you step through the door at the Casita, you feel the welcoming energy of this sweet place. She was created using architectural principles of sacred geometry. The views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, Kit Carson especially, are breath-giving. The house is set on 2 1/2 acres of land, bordered by National land and serenaded by the soothing sounds of Willow Creek. The Crestone community is shared by a diverse range of spiritual and new age centers, and is also a mecca for alternative, green and sacred architecture. With prolific wildlife and exquisite nature, this is an ideal location for your retreat.

Peaceful place

The property is very clean and comfortable. There is a creek just out back but unfortunately the mosquitos were bad so we couldn't really explore. We went to the Great sand dunes which was fun and the greenhouse hot springs. T-brew house is a fun group of people but please note that dining out here is limited. Luckily we had food and the house has everything you need if you need to cook. If you are looking to unwind with great mountain views this is the place!

An escape to spiritual serenity in the mountains

We spent two relaxing nights in Baca Grande, a charming community nestled within Crestone. Our host, Merrin, was fantastic – always prompt and helpful with any questions. The house was perfectly equipped with a beautiful patio and stunning mountain vista. Crestone, a short drive away, is a quaint old mining town brimming with character. We thoroughly enjoyed wandering its streets and soaking in its unique atmosphere. Here's a local tip: if you need groceries, head to the Mercantile for better prices. Our main adventure was exploring Great Sand Dunes National Park, a true natural wonder just an hour away. We also experienced the hot springs in the area. Hopper Hot Springs offered a lively atmosphere with a large pool, perfect for families. However, for a more relaxing experience, we opted for the adults-only Greenhouse with its delicious food (entrance fee applies). If you prefer a smaller, less commercial hot spring experience, Joyful Journey might be a good alternative.

Lovely

Beautiful little getaway! Comfortable and cozy. Be aware, there are VERY few options for eating out in Crestone and property does not have a microwave if you are planning to eat in. But otherwise, full kitchen that functioned well for what we needed. Gorgeous views!

This is such a wonderful property. Impeccably clean, and an excellent location that is both quiet and removed and just a few minutes from town. If you stay here, you can't miss with any of the local restaurants!

Great spot to get away from it all

We were very happy with our stay. The casita was well kept and very clean. Our host was communicative and very helpful with info about the casita as well as the surrounding area. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views are amazing and the location is a great place to disconnect from the hectic pace of everyday life. Crestone is a few minutes away and has a small mix of galleries, a few eateries and a market. If you are there on a Thursday night, you have to head to the pub for open mic night. We will be back again!

Wonderful charming magical abode cabin with great views! Got a bit warm inside during a July heat wave, but the owners are looking into adding AC so that might not be an issue much longer. Merrin was a wonderful communicative host and a great all around person.

Super clean, super restful!

This 2 bed-2 bath home was super comfortable and very clean. We had no trouble with directions from the website. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable for us. Two queen beds, one in each room, were adequate for our needs. The windows open really wide and we were able to catch the breezes to cool the house during our June stay. The nights were cool and the stars were awesome. The main advantage for us was the view. The mountains were spectacular and even had snow on the tops. A fabulous stay all the way around. Property manager was spot on and quick with any questions we had.

A perfect relaxing escape

It was just what we needed; a beautiful, quiet, relaxing escape. Close to a number of great trails and sights including the Great Sand Dunes and the stars at night were truly magical. The place was clean, accommodating, and did I mention comfortable and relaxing? Highly recommend and we look forward to our next stay here.

Recommend

Though the beginning of our stay was very "eventful" with the local water company accidentally turning off the water at the wrong house, Merrin took care of things immediately and within 2-3 hours we had the water back on. The water company apologized. For that "glitch," Merrin treated us to either a soak at a nearby spa or dinner at a local restaurant. We usually just eat in, but we got a yummy supper and the chance to meet some of the friendly folks in Crestone. Through it all, Merrin did a great job communicating and taking care of us. We enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed and wanted was available and comfortable. We loved the quiet, our early morning walks and exploring around the area with mountains one direction and the valley the other direction.The skies were mostly cloudy, so we missed the beautiful night sky, but it was still lovely.

Mother's Day Weekend

It was a very nice place to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my two kids ages 13 and 16. The property is easy access to the Sand Dunes (about an hour drive), quiet and very well kept! There was a small creek in the back yard that my son really enjoyed.

OASIS IN THE MOUNTAINS

We were long overdue for a vacation and felt like we really lucked out in finding this casita in Crestone. Truth be told, we didn't want to leave. It was nice to have the entire casita to ourselves and to be completely disconnected from our everyday pressures and immersed in such natural beauty. The casita is very well provisioned and the host was a top notch communicator.

About the host

Hosted by Merrin Wilding (Stein)

I am the fortunate owner of the Casita Crestone, living in Boulder, Colorado. Drawn to the Casita years ago as a writing/meditation retreat, it was a joy to come into possession of the Casita when our friends were able to let it go. I love sharing this space with the many guests and friends that have had the opportunity to travel here. I hope you get to enjoy it as well!

Why they chose this property

This is fast becoming the choice retreat rental in Crestone; energetically peaceful, well maintained and specially cared for by an owner that loves it as well. Please take the time to read a few of the many positive reviews I am so grateful to have received. This Casita is a little gem.
