Pinky's Nature Hideout

Great time for all!

What can I say? It was an amazing time for my family (including 2 large puppies). We hiked every day a couple of times, had a nice camp fire, and loved Pinky’s! Our host was awesome! My little one had an amazing time! We are already talking about another booking. Simply amazing for all of us!

Off Grid Raven's Refuge

Cozy Cabins!

What a special place. We had such a fabulous weekend! Was perfect for two couples and two dogs. We booked both Raven’s Refuge and Big Rock. Both were fantastic. Raven’s Refuge had a bigger fenced in area, while Big Rock was nestled among oaks, had a nice view and was closer to the bath house. Both had their positive attributes and when I go again I’d be happy to stay at either. We were lucky to get a dusting of snow, and the cabins remained cozy and airtight. The grounds were fun to explore. A lot of thought went into these unique and comfortable accommodations!

Off Grid Sage Sanctuary

Peaceful and fun getaway

Beautiful spot in the desert but with plenty of activities on the property. I loved hiking on the well marked trails with my dog and doing yoga at the yurt. The hosts were lovely, everything was extremely clean and well kept and I felt very safe being there alone.

Off Grid Sage Sanctuary

Sage cabin stay

We had such a great time in this little paradise. It felt like time stopped. The sage cabin was very private, all the equipment brand new and comfortable. Would 100% go again.
