The Raven's Nest - Inspiration, Solitude, & Nature

Peaceful Mountain Retreat with Breathtaking Views!

Escape to serenity in this cozy studio nestled in the Crestone Baca, just 6 miles south of the unique spiritual town of Crestone, Colorado. Ideal for a quiet getaway or a creative retreat, this remote space offers stunning, nearly 360-degree, views of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the vast San Luis Valley.

This light-filled studio apartment comfortably sleeps up to 2 adults, or 2 adults and a child, with a comfortable queen bed and a twin hide-a-bed for extra sleeping space. Whether you're visiting for rest, inspiration, or to explore the natural and spiritual wonders of the area, you'll feel right at home here.

Inside, enjoy modern amenities designed for comfort and convenience, including:

Reliable WiFi for remote work or streaming

Air conditioning and heating to stay cozy in any season

A hair dryer and essential toiletries to lighten your packing

A thoughtfully equipped compact kitchen featuring a two-burner stove, compact fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker plus coffee, toaster, and tea kettle—perfect for preparing simple meals or morning coffee with a view. You also have access to a propane grill. (No freezer.)

Step outside onto your private deck and be immersed in the natural beauty surrounding you. Watch deer grazing below and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of a coyote wandering through the brush. With the peaks of the Sangres rising over 14,000 feet dramatically to the east and the wide-open views across the valley to the San Juan Mountains, you may find yourself spending hours simply soaking in the magic of the landscape.

Whether you're hiking, sitting by a roaring creek, meditating, stargazing, or simply unwinding, this peaceful mountain haven offers a memorable stay in one of Colorado’s most unique and soulful regions. It's one of Crestone's most booked short term rentals.

Crestone Apt Review

The views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, both from the inside of the apt. and the balcony, are spectacular. The apt. was very clean and well organized. Comfortable bed, good shower, and kitchen equipped for simple meal prep. There were some disappointments: there was no freezer. Had this been mentioned in the listing, we would not have booked this. The host never made sure we had settled in after check-in.The only time we heard from her was the day before check-out. She informed us of the check-out time/instructions.Which was not necessary, as the listing threatens you with a bad review if you don't complete the required check-out steps.Despite these issues, we enjoyed our stay in Crestone, partaking in the nearby hikes, farmers market, beautiful scenery,and lovely drives.
