Our home is designed and outfitted with recycled, upcycled, & reimagined materials - which all contribute to the very off-beat comfort of our home. 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.

We love sharing the peaceful quiet laid-back lifestyle of the Crestone area. We offer full use of our quirky adobe & stucco home. 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 bleacher seats.

Plan to make a 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 and clothing optional locations. And the choices for hiking are too numerous to list.
