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.

Our stay at Terra Cottage was the perfect way to begin our three-week family road trip! From the moment we booked, Sean was an exceptional host—friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly communicative. He reached out with helpful information before we arrived, offered wonderful local recommendations (don’t miss the nearby hot springs)! The cottage itself was cozy, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for. You can tell that every detail has been thoughtfully considered. One of the highlights was meeting Thomas, Sean’s father and co-host. He was one of the kindest, warmest people we’ve met on our travels. He made us feel genuinely welcome and added such a personal touch to the experience. Thank you Sean and Thomas for your incredible hospitality! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Terra Cottage to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind Colorado experience.

This was a fun opportunity to stay in an earthship. Just know going in what an earthship is, and be relaxed with what to expect, and you'll really enjoy it!

What a great unique stay. We loved how eco-friendly it is (having never stayed in an earthship before, we were pleasantly surprised by how cool the place stayed in the hot summer heat and that it had all the modern creature-comforts such as fast WiFi, hot water, and electricity throughout). We especially loved the record player with all the fun records to choose from. This was such a pleasant and peaceful place. The grounds are remote and serene (but close enough to town that we could easily get needed essentials) and it was an added bonus that we could bring our dog along! Beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of amenities to make for a cozy weekend in (including a book about earthships!).

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this fun place! We got into town pretty late and were able to enjoy a peaceful night of rest in a home like no other! Thomas was friendly and kind to us as we were checking out, and the place was super clean!
