About this house rental
Terra Cottage: An Off-Grid Earthship Escape Near Crestone
Unusual architecture. Big-sky views. A place to reset.
Set on five acres near Crestone in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, Terra Cottage is a distinctive off-grid Earthship retreat surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Earthy materials, flagstone floors, and an aspen tongue-and-groove ceiling create a warm, character-filled interior. Settle into the living area, cook together in the kitchen, enjoy the fireplace, or spend time outside taking in the expansive high-desert views.
A vintage trailer beneath a covered gazebo adds a memorable hangout space to this one-of-a-kind setting.
What Makes Terra Cottage Different
An Earthship with distinctive, earth-conscious architecture
A five-acre high-desert setting
Views of the surrounding mountains and open landscape
Kitchen, dining area, living room, and workspace
Fireplace and comfortable indoor gathering spaces
A covered gazebo and vintage trailer hangout area
A base for exploring Crestone and the Great Sand Dunes region
Terra Cottage is an opportunity to experience a different side of Colorado—quieter, more spacious, and connected to the landscape.

8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
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!

This was a very unique and bespoke property. We appreciated the earthen home and all of the thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the getaway for our family and greatly appreciated that our dog was welcome! Thomas was a gracious and welcoming host that respects the privacy of guests and is a pleasure to talk with. The fire pit was removed due to the extreme drought and winds present. We enjoyed using the wood stove inside! This is a lovely, eccentric property in which you can have a unique experience and enjoy tranquility, dark skies and solitude!
