- "It's a rare treat to be on acres of land and open space such that surrounds this home. More than anything, the house has a peaceful, welcoming feel. Not too fancy schmancy, but not run down. It was very clean, which is often a wild card with short rentals. I enjoyed the unimpeded views of the Sangre de Cristos as well as the range on the other side of the valley. Crestone has not one but two grocery stores, and a hardware store! I guess my only warning is: Bring your own honey. Of the spices and staples the hosts provide at this house, I did not find sugar or honey. "

- "Stars, hot tub, geodome, sand dunes...this property was the absolute perfect retreat for teens, tweens, and adults. The kitchen was stocked with basics. There were plenty of towels in the geodome for anyone using the hot tub. The views were stunning. It was right at an hour drive to Great Sand Dunes National Park AND you can now rent a sand sled and two sand boards right on sight to avoid the lines at the park entrance. This added convenience was much appreciated. You're just far out enough to feel like you're in a whole different world and you're only about 15 min from the Dollar General that has literally anything you could need. Communication was excellent. The property was clean and as expected. It's clearly newer construction and very well done and maintained. We loved our stay and would absolutely stay again."

- "We wanted to get away and this was a lovely place to do it." - "The cabin was very comfortable and the host made it very enjoyable. A microwave oven would have been nice but we made it fine without one." - "Sweet little cabin in an interesting location. The views were spectacular. Wish we had brought our binoculars! Comfy bed, nice kitchen and dining area. Windy and chilly, but sunny for the first part of our week. Cabin was very restful and quiet. Wish there were comfortable patio chairs as we love being outside and it got warmer at the end of the week. No restaurants were open in town when we arrived, despite online info. One opened Wednesday, and others were scheduled to open next week for the summer. The hot springs in the area were great, especially the one in Hooper. It also has wonderful food in the Garden Room. The sand dunes are fun, and huge. Lots of hiking nearby."

- "By far my favorite VRBO I’ve had the pleasure to stay and I’ve booked many! It was immaculate, well appointed and wonderful attention to detail! The views are incredible and it’s quiet and peaceful. Perfect location for Great Sand Dunes National Park and so much more! Crestone is a lovely town and I plan on returning and will book again! If I could give 10 stars I would!" - "Quiet and clean, just the right size for me on a solo retreat. Highly recommend. Couple slight bits of feedback- arriving at night, the specific parking space for the vrbo rental unit was hard to find. I didn't see the signage until the next morning. Also, I texted the property manager at one point with an issue and did not receive a reply. But was able to sort the issue out on my own. Would like to have heard back from her though."

- "Nice updated casita and very clean. Cute courtyard area that was tranquil. Close to Crestone." - "The casitas in Crestone are a perfect little oasis in a magical place in Colorado. I have been to this area many, many times, and have stayed in many VRBO's. This is the best!" - "The setting is lovely and quiet. The casita clean, comfortable, and efficiently set up. Every detail is considered aesthetically. The path to the casita is gravel with a few stone steps, which could be a bit challenging for someone who is mobile compromised, but not an issue for the average person. I would definitely stay again!"

This is a peaceful little getaway with a lot of options. The home is nestled in the trees right on the Willow Creek Greenbelt, with a trail, ancient trees, and babbling Willow creek. The greenbelt is accessed from the back of the lot. Amidst the beautiful juniper, piñon, and ponderosa pines on the lot are beautiful mountain views from the back yard and the house. It a perfect place to reconnect with nature. There is a very comfortable large living room with stairs to the bedroom that has a peaceful patio for your morning tea or coffee. The living room goes into the kitchen/dining room area and also the bathroom. The property is surrounded by beautiful trees and mountain views from the bedroom. The bedroom is on the second floor and there is a steep staircase (with a sturdy hand rail) to get to it.

- "What a great little place! We loved our stay here. We were just wanting a nice, quiet getaway and the Hummingbird Hacienda was the perfect place for us. The kitchen was well set up and provided all we needed to make meals. The neighborhood was quiet which made our stay very relaxing. The loft bedroom was comfortable but if you want to sleep in, bring your sleep mask as it’s full of natural light in the morning. We had a wonderful stay!" - "Very cute place for two of us. Clean. Darling one bed/one bath place. Private. Trail behind house is a bit rough- east to get lost. Not a true “trail”. We found the creek though. Zipline there but we did not use that. Nearby Crestone is 5-7 minutes away to grab some food. Fire pit outside was great for a quiet evening to relax. Pre-stocked wood was a bonus. FYI: Great Sand Dunes and multiple hiking trails at that park and Zapata falls are a full 55 minute drive away."

- "The Crestone area is a really special part of the Rockies. The abobe manor was a great way to connect with this amazing locale for us. The house had fantastic views of both the valley and the mountains, especially from the back patio and upstairs balconies. Inside, the house was beautifully furnished with comfortable beds, couches, outdoor seating, and locally-inspired art. The kitchen was well equipped. The upstairs lounge/balcony spaces and patio out back offer a lot of room to spread out. The pool table in the adjacent home office/garage building was also a nice touch. While my sons and I were there, we visited the dunes, hot springs (we visited Joyous Journeys), and the Arkansas River/Texas Creek area, as well as Crestone itself. I highly recommend visiting here.
