Play in nature, relax in comfort. 2 spacious safari-style tents nestled in a small orchard with big views of Canyon of the Ancients. Your stay includes a private bathhouse with indoor and outdoor showers. Both tents have king beds and outdoor lounging areas and share a central campfire area. Clifftop hiking with views as far as Mesa Verde. We only accept one reservation at a time so the camp is all yours. The Details The Orchard Camp includes two large safari-style tents, each with a king bed, water cooler, mini-fridge, sheets & towels. The tents share cooking and camp amenities like a two burner Coleman stove and a propane-fueled "fire pit," and games like corn hole. Your private Bathhouse offers two sinks, two showers, two toilets, an outdoor shower and an outdoor sink for your dishes. The Orchard, with its young fruit trees and wildflowers, is your private garden. The Property You'll have access to roam much of this 38 acre property which includes a hay farm, cliffside and clifftop trail and a section of McElmo Creek. We just ask that folks stay away from the private residence on site, which is well-marked. We love pets and kids but due to the Wildlife with a capital W (and the occasional skunk) with whom we share this land we must limit our guests to humans ages 8 and up. Southwest Colorado is a land of extremes. We get hot, cold and everything in between. The tents are canvas so we offer electric blankets and small space heaters for colder days, and fans for the warmer days. And in advance, we apologize for the high cleaning fee. When you're here you'll understand why with the large showerhouse and all its windows, the large canvas tents and big decks, etc.

Die Zufahrt ist leicht zu finden. Es geht jedoch über roten Sand und die Strasse ist leicht schief. Wir wurden herzlich Willkommen geheissen! Solch eine Gastfreundschaft habe ich noch selten erlebt. Wir waren 3 Tage dort und der Abschied ist uns nicht leicht gefallen. Wir kommen eines Tages wieder. Natur pur und sehr authentisch! Wir waren über die Gastfreundschaft tief berührt.

We loved staying two nights at the Navajo owned Teardrop Arch Bed and Breakfast. Ilene was a gracious host, the cabin was very comfy, and the views were amazing! We were just a very short distance to the Navajo National Monument. On both mornings we were able to watch an incredible sunrise across the Monument. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel at home. We loved the very friendly cat and dogs!

We loved our stay at Tear Drop Arch B'n'B. We only booked one night but timed it well as we got to see a magic sunset followed shortly thereafter by a harvest moon rising. We stayed in the cabin. It's small but comfy with an awesome view. As the TDAB info says, the cabin has no bathroom/toilet or running water. You can use the shower/toilet inside Ilene's house or the outhouse. We used the latter during the night so we didn't disturb Ilene. My only complaint (which I voiced to Ilene) was that the outhouse faced the wrong way to take best advantage of the views! Ilene provides a good range of options for your DIY breakfast inside the house (after which you can do your own washing up). The 3 friendly dogs took turns to come visit around sunset. No shoes were taken :) TDAB is basic but good, especially that view, but may not be suitable for those wanting a higher level of conveniences and comfort. It ain't White Lotus. We'd happily visit again.

We had a wonderful stay at Tear Drop Arch B&B. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming — even their cats made us feel at home. Before our arrival, we mentioned that we wanted to have a barbecue, and they kindly prepared the fuel for us in advance. The room was very clean, and breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect, just a short drive to Monument Valley Tribal Park. A tip for future guests: don’t rely on Google Maps for directions — Apple Maps works just fine.

Weekend Trip to Teardrop Arch B&B

Die Kommunikation virab über Hipcamp lief nicht perfekt. Man sollte sich eine App runterladen, was aber nicht möglich war. Letztlich war das auch überhaupt nicht nötig. Man bekommt vorab eine Wegbeschreibung, die relativ eindeutig ist. Das Haupthaus der Besitzer ist allerdings nicht klar gekennzeichnet. Man wohnt in einer sehr einfachen aber doch schönen kleinen Hütte mit einem einzigartigen Blick auf das Monnument Valley. Was vielleicht etwas ungewohnt ist, dass man Küche und Badezimmer im Hause des Besitzers nutzt und für kurze Zeit somit ein kleiner Teil der Familie ist. Aber Ilenes, Kinder und Katze sind sehr nett. Auch Nachbars Hund ist sehr liebesbedürftig. Morgens konnten wir uns dann ein Frühstück mit Flakes, Toast und Eiern zubereiten.
