Mountain Road Disclosure: The Sheep Mountain property it’s located in a mountainous area. There are 7 miles of dirt and mountainous roads from the highway to the property. Although the dirt roads are maintained there may be grooves and ruts in some areas due to weather. Please be advise that trucks and four-wheel vehicles will have a much easier time navigating these roads. Other vehicles may need to slow down and take it easy through some potentially rough areas. PROPERTY UPDATE: DUE TO THE RECENT WIND STORM, SOME TREES WERE UPROOTED AND BLOWN OVER ON THE PROPERTY. TREES WERE REMOVE FROM THE ROAD AND CAMP SITES. SOME ARE STILL DOWN IN THE AREA. WE ARE WORKING WITH LOCAL CONTRACTORS TO HAVE THEM CUT DOWN FOR FIREWOOD AND MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. THE DOWNED TREES DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ABILITY FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR RV OR TENT TO SETUP CAMP. FEEL FREE TO GATHER THE DOWNED TREES AND BRANCHES TO USE FOR FIREWOOD. THANKS YOU AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY.

Great spot
We had such a wonderful time. Very private, beautiful and so spacious. Super close to Pueblo (one hour) and springs (hour and a half or so) and yet we felt like we were so much farther then that. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend and had such a wonderful time. Host was very helpful with any questions I had.

We really enjoyed our time at Hilltop. The property is exactly as described and the directions were perfect. It was incredibly quiet and the sky was amazing from the site. We ventured down to the town of La Veta and happened to be there during their Oktoberfest. Really cute town! We will definitely be back!

Most remote, secluded spot ever!
We started our honeymoon at this secluded spot, we ran way later than expected and didn't arrive until midnight, but the drive up is beautiful in the day and at night. Very safe, very secluded space. GPS coordinates were given that led us right to it. Miles and miles of mountain, beautiful Pine trees, sunflowers, and friendly but timid wildlife. We saw field mice, rabbits, cows, horses, coyotes, and we saw at least one hawk. Our two dogs absolutely loved being off leash the ENTIRE time. We only saw one other couple and they were just scoping out the land for their next trip. Can't stress how peaceful and quiet it is out here. The stargazing is to die for! We will be back as soon as we can!

The Perfect Getaway!
Michael’s property was the perfect getaway to enjoy the solitude and natural landscape of the beautiful piñon pines and views of Sheep Mountain. There was ample space at the designated camp spot to choose a perfect location for the truck and several fire pits. The camp location was easy to find using Michael’s directions and the dirt roads to the hilltop site were easily manageable with a 4 wheel drive pickup and I know I could make it as well in my Hyundai Tucson if I chose the easiest driveway #3 on the left of the approach. The night sky was littered with stars and the rock fire pit was perfect for a small warming fire to enjoy with a glass of wine. The next morning I took the county roads south through some beautiful country heading to highway 160 to explore Zapata Falls and the Great Sand Dunes National Park at the base of Mt. Blanca. The falls were beautiful and a welcoming treat for my Golden Retriever and the Dunes were amazing! Michael’s camp was a perfect place to stay during my travels and I will definitely stay there again in the future.
