"Very pleasant stay overall in a unique space and place. Views, birds, stars, location, and communication with owner was all great.
While Earthship designs have evolved significantly since this one was built, it still functioned very well with minimal-to-no supplemental heating needed for comfort.
One of the Earthship principles is contained / repurposed trash, so it was disappointing to see trash on the land along the periphery of the yard. I can tell the owner is making consistent effort to improve the property, however, so I am hopeful it will be cleaned up.
Co-host who lives in a separate structure onsite was very welcoming, friendly, and delightful to talk to. He is happy to interact when engaged, and keeps to himself otherwise, so privacy inside the Earthship was not an issue.
Will definitely consider staying here again!"
The Stargazer-Your private retreat in the mountains!
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at the comfortable Stargazer Cabin. Bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately it was too chilly to sit on the decks but they are lovely. Thank you for sharing your home with us. "
"From the moment we drove up, we knew that this was going to be a very nice place in a beautiful location and it was! Very clean, nicely appointed, just offered a fun and cozy vibe. Communication was always quick and very helpful - we loved it and would definitely recommend the place and the town. Lived up to its name; an absolute gem!"
"Very nice cabin with gorgeous views and lots of natural light. Kitchen and living space is well designed for beauty and functionality. Little a-frame next to cabin is a fun 4th room. "
Unique and Marvelous Hideaway with the Cosmic Energy of Crestone!
10/10 Excellent
"What a fabulous stay our small group of five just had! The peace and quiet, the rustic (and spotlessly clean) charm of this quirky home, all the facilities, and the location, met all our needs. This really was a break for us, and a comfortable escape. We definitely want to return. We left with regret, but with a great deal of gratitude."
"We enjoyed the tiny town of Crestone and wildlife watching on the way to Great Sand Dunes national park. Stargazing while cold was really fun as well."
