So happy to see this beautiful space now on hipcamp! I've had the chance to attend a gathering at Casa Zen, and it's truly a peaceful, open, and welcoming place. Perfect for those seeking a quiet overnight stay under the stars- with outdoor grilling, a refreshing rock shower, and a calming meditation circle. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to return!

Such a peaceful and beautiful space for solitude. You can feel the love and care put into the land. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and escape for a while. I’ll definitely be returning for more quiet time in nature.

Just tents, mountains, and silence.
Come camp, come breathe, come be.

Casa zen was a relaxing, calm stay. Great place to get away from all the city noise. It’s located on a small town in piñon hills of a dirt road. At arrival Rick greeted me and gave me a quick tour of the place. He’s a very friendly host. Place has just enough for a city person to feel comfortable but also just enough to make it feel like a campgrounds get away. Place has a shower, picnic benches, a bbq area and a fire pit. The night sky was beautiful and the noise at night was almost non existent. Got to see a bit of wild life as well. I would definitely head out to this location again.

Beautiful cabin with everything we needed! Loved exploring the creek and nearby waterfall. Hot tub was great too! Plenty of bedding and cooking supplies. Feels more like a well stocked air b&b than a camping or even glamping experience which was perfect for what we needed. Overall a peaceful and serene experience thank you <3

Weekend Trip to Creekside Vintage Cabins w/hot tubs

A great place to go if you want to get away without totally unplugging. Jami was very thoughtful in making sure that everything was provided. I came with 8 people, and there was enough room to comfortably fit everyone without too much running into each other. The beds were great, and extra blankets were provided just in case. There was also a washer and dryer, which I wasn't expecting. There's only one bathroom, so there was a little maneuvering with that. The Wi-Fi worked great, even with all of us connected. There is a heater but no AC, although the ceiling fans, along with opening the windows, really helped with the heat. Not to mention, it was cooler outside. The only problem was the bugs, like mosquitoes, since we were here in the summer. There's a stream about a 2-minute walk from the cabin, and I'm pretty sure I could hear it even from inside. There's also a bigger waterfall that was about a 20-minute walk/hike. The area was absolutely beautiful—trees everywhere. You could see squirrels running around, birds in the morning, and at night it was so peaceful and quiet.

Ric’s property was beautiful, quiet and clean. The camping area, the bathroom and the hand-built outdoor shower were so nice. We were only able to stay for a little while, but it was just the spot that we needed. Close to lots of beautiful mountain and desert areas to explore, and some quaint cafes. Grateful for Ric’s hospitality. We will definitely stay again.

I wasn’t able to stay overnight because the winds were too high on the day I went, but I’m looking forward to booking this site again in the near future. It was a little challenging to find just because the site itself is set back away from the dirt roads, I’d recommend possibly for the hosts to install some sort of flag or maybe small sign at the entrance from the road where to turn in. Other than that, I’m in love with that area as it’s very secluded and I didn’t come across a single other soul while I was out there. I love the privacy. Hosts were great and very accommodating!
