We loved our stay at the Stargazer! It was exactly what we needed. The views were breathtaking—sunsets and sunrises each day and stargazing at night. We enjoyed being close to the Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls as well as the proximity to the market in Crestone. The house was well stocked with all the amenities we needed for cooking each night and lots of linens. The host was helpful and fast with responses. We cannot say enough great things and would absolutely recommend staying here!

This house was perfect for our family stay. We had 5 adults and lots of room to hang out. We wish we could have stayed longer. The house was fully stocked with all the necessary kitchen equipment to cook full meals, coffee supplies, and even a few snacks and drinks, left by the host. Loved the out door seating areas and the quietness of the neighborhood. The views were amazing from the 2 floor deck. The communication, check in and house instructions, with the host was through and easy. Would definitely recommend this property!!!!

The Stargazer is aptly named- watching the stars from the upper deck, and the glorious "sangre de cristos" sunsets was heaven. The house was a wonderful base for our hiking adventures!
