Unique and Marvelous Hideaway with the Cosmic Energy of Crestone!

Our unique Crestone Hideaway Home is available for you to experience the 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. Once you confirm your reservation, you will have sole use of our Hideaway home during your stay.

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 football bleachers. We also feature not-quite-plumb walls, church pews, tree trunks, boulders, antique doors - a truly 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. Off-grid does not mean out of touch; our goal is to mitigate human impact on the natural environment. We do not skimp on amenities and comfort. We love sharing the peaceful quiet laid-back lifestyle of the Crestone area.

The master bedroom offers a queen bed, beautiful mountain view, wood-burning stove, spacious sitting area, self-serve coffee and tea service, and opportunity for rejuvenating & relaxing.

The front bedroom has a front row seat & direct access to the deck and the Sangre de Cristo mountains just through the french doors. It has a full bed and a single trundle which is perfect for children and youth. If you have a different need to accommodate your family/group, please reach out to us!

We're in the International Dark Sky community. The stars are magnificent without the light pollution we don't realize is limiting our views in the cities. You will be amazed by the vast expanse of the universe.

In the autumn months the large elk herds wander across our property where you might have the privilege of hearing them bugle. The local coyote pack is often heard in the middle of the night. The abundant and beautiful birds are a delightful addition to the laid back life.

Please note that VRBO uses AI to create some of the information about our property. The map they provide indicates that the Sand Dunes are less than a 20 minute drive from all homes in the Crestone area. It is not exactly correct. There is a north entrance into the National Park that is a few minutes from our home but it DOES NOT connect to the main visitor entrance where you are able to hike on the Dunes. Please use your preferred maps app to find driving directions to the Great Sand Dunes National Park Entrance from Crestone.

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 of the north side of the Dunes. **Plan to make it a full-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, adults-only (with adult drinks), and clothing optional locations. And the choices for hiking are too numerous to list.

The nearby town of Crestone is quaint and delightful with a history museum, an art cooperative, at least two restaurants, two grocery stores, a liquor store, post office, a bank, a hardware store, a gas station, and no stop lights. Any traffic jams are caused by the herds of deer that wander through town.

Our Hideaway truly offers a taste of a very off-beat heaven on Earth.
