Great views and awesome stargazing!

The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, perfect camping supplies. Loved the outdoor shower and swing with an amazing view. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back with the rest of the family!

Fabulous glamping experience!

Wonderful glamping experience! The Tipi is spacious and the beds comfortable. Pretty much everything you need is provided, which was great for me since I have not camped in a very long time. The property is lovely and the views gorgeous including the deer that walked thru the campsite as I was reading early morning. Michael and Joyce are very helpful and communicative. This location is a must especially if you are looking for a very quiet relaxing weekend getaway but dont want the hassle of remembering/packing all of your camping gear.

Camping on top of the world!

Beautiful property, comfortable teepee, and lots of wildlife! If you want to getaway from the hustle and bustle and relax in a clean, quiet retreat, this place is great! Property owners are kind and considerate. The 9000’ elevation keeps temps down in the summer, but there was a nice warm blanket in the teepee!

Dale and his family were so nice. We loved having them. They left the Tipi and area very neat and tidy. We hope to see them again

Lovely place to spend some quiet time

We spent the weekend at the Tipi and came home rested and rejuvenated. My teenage boys enjoyed their first 'glamping' (real beds in a tent) experience. We usually backpack or camp on the ground style. The light-lined paths added a magical feel to the nights and made it feel extra special. We got to watch a herd of deer in our campsite for about a 45 minutes one early morning. Great way to start our day. The stars were amazing. All around a great getaway. They may need to reassess the toilet situation if they continue to have a good volume of guests. Other than that - it was a lovely experience and just what we needed to kick off the cold weather season. Thank you for the hospitality!

Better than expected! It was such a beautiful place.

This spot is perfectly laid out with incredible views. We had a great time relaxing there. Such a cool tipi- way bigger than expected.

The pictures do not do it justice! Even more stunning to be there!

Being at 9,000 ft. elevation in the southern Rockies in a campsite sleeping in a teepee was a bucket list moment for us!! We saw some wildlife, smelled the pine and cedar and just enjoyed the gorgeous views and sunsets. The setting is surreal! The campsite has different areas, teepee, firepit with chairs and log stumps, outdoor shower, bathroom enclosure, and picnic/cooking area. The paths to each area are lined with wood branches and at night the solar lights illuminate the paths and is so pretty. The teepee itself is roomy and felt very secure. The second night it rained a bit and the winds were strong, but we felt secure and stayed dry. The mattresses were super-comfy, the linens were soft and the comforter/blankets kept us super warm. The outdoor shower was a fun experience. The toilet enclosure had everything you could need. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban during our stay so we were not able to have a fire in the firepit. The hosts do provide many amenities, but double check before your stay as the nearest grocery store is approximately 45 minutes away and you probably do not want to do the drive back in to town for a forgotten item. The hosts live on the property and met us when we arrived to show us around. All around a great stay where we made lifelong memories!!
