crestone casitas

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful Crestone Casitas in September 2024. It is a hidden gem with a beautiful walled garden full of magical touches and murals, gorgeous by day and enchanting at night. The Casita is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed with (#2) a small kitchen, table, living area, desk, queen bed and bathroom. There are extra blankets and apparently you can get wood for the fireplace during the winter. This was a no-contact entry and exit, but we were glad to meet our hosts, Melanie and her partner the morning that we left. She was responsible for that oasis of a garden with the Arthur Conan Doyle-type fairly lanterns. You can even host a meal outside if you like in their outdoor kitchen.

I had the nicest weekend stay of my life here! The rooms are extremely well kept and very tastefully done in a rustic Western style. Firewood was (unexpectedly) provided for both ambience and warmth; the grounds are enclosed and the courtyard is further enclosed within, and very beautifully done. It was an extremely windy weekend and the wind was well blocked by the courtyard walls -so all we noticed were the pleasant sounds from the wind chimes hanging from the trees. Amazingly beautiful, and all set in the not well enough known San Luis Valley!

We had a wonderful extended weekend stay at the Casitas. The rooms are immaculately kept, and the grounds well maintained. |The casitas kept comfortably cool even during the warm August days. |The courtyard is a little miniature oasis, making for an extended living space option. |Casita #3 is closest to the hummingbird feeders which we could watch for hours with our coffee. |Only 3 min from downtown Crestone. |Melanie & Alan are gracious hosts, only checking in once per day but always available if needed.

This was the most darling of places. outside the room was a courtyard which had several hummingbirds eating from the feeders and living in the cedar trees. So fun to sit on the benches and listen and watch them! The host was so friendly yet giving you space. Close to hiking up Mount Crestone too! Little town with a couple of small restaurants Our Food is Art we went to a couple times. Very good!

We stayed in Casita #1 for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect for great hiking, the casita was spotless, the bed was very comfortable and the cute wood stove kept us cozy and warm for hours. This was an unexpected and excellent find to our 2 week CO/NM adventure. Oh, yes, booking was a breeze - such nice people!
