The accommodations were over the top, and we had the greatest time! Annette and Patrick are super friendly and they have thought of everything! All cookware, utensils, seasonings, sink, water, propane heater, fire pit, and grill, chairs, extra blankets, dog bed and bowls, queen size air mattress, and bedding are there for you. It got down to 33° at night and we were very comfortable in the tent with the propane heater they provide. We did bring additional sleeping bags to add to the air mattress and sheets they provided and it even got a little too warm for us which was great. Also, solar power for charging electronics and they provide lighting in the tent. The view is amazing and it’s so quiet which is what I wanted. No road noises, just nature. The spot is large and you have complete privacy.
You really need an off-road vehicle to get up to the site, and be sure to air-down a bit. The road to the Campground is pretty bumpy and then you have a steep incline to their property. I have a Jeep Wrangler and it’s a fun ride up if you prepare for it.
Overall this was a great time and I have every intention of returning! Thanks Annette and Patrick!

1 night at Candyland Camper
We had such a wonderful stay! The host, Marni, was incredibly kind and welcoming which made us feel right at home.
The camper was clean, comfortable, and really adorable. It is whimsical with bright colors and a happy mood. I really love that the camper has running water, a bathroom with shower, fridge, and heat! The nights were getting cool during our stay and the heat made us so comfortable.
The property itself is absolutely beautiful. With pretty views, and the added joy of seeing horses, goats, and alpacas right on site. It was peaceful, fun, and such a unique experience to be surrounded by the animals. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a special camping trip!
Thanks so much!

1 night at Marian’s Fishing Hut
Surprising little shed turned into a getaway space. Appreciated the potable water inside and kitchette. This may be a work in progress, but insulating more walls and the floor would help.
Lots of outdoor space. Everything was clean and easy to use.

This was a good location for our purposes. The access was easy and even though there was lots of rain, and a little roadway washout in the morning, it was easily passable and not a worry for us.
The tiny accommodations are appropriately appointed and accurately advertised.

Our hosts ensured a comfortable, safe and relaxing stay. Would be happy to stay here again as it is a quick trip from the city. Strongly recommend a 4WD vehicle for the drive in, but at Patrick’s instruction we were able to make it up no problem.

I absolutely loved Marion's fishing hut. It was perfect and I loved all the touches. The TV, the small refrigerator and microwave, little coffee maker, and all the utensils, plates, cups and portable electric hot plates to cook. There is a wash basin to wash and to wash dishes. Water was provided, which was awesome. They also provided movies to watch on the TV and the the trundle bed was perfect and comfortable, as well as, the pillow, and the blanket was so warm.
It looked like a little cottage with the framed windows, which opened from the inside with little blinds, and when you would open the little windows, there was a nice breeze. I didn't mind the roosters across the way they were funny, and I took pictures of the beautiful horses also across the way. It was quiet. The little fishing hut is surrounded by pine trees and Aspen trees. The little outhouse was so cute and clean, also with nice touches. And the lid to the toilet was painted with Aspen trees!! Whoever painted it is a great artist. I highly recommend this little hut for me and my 2 dogs, it was perfect. There's also a picnic table and chairs outside and a water spigot. I will definitely be back to this little piece of mountain paradise. 👏🏞⛰️

Weekend Trip to Indian Mountain Homestead
We enjoyed our stay here: the view was great, all the necessities were taken care of, and Patrick & Annette made it easy to coordinate the meetup at check-in. We were there during an intense thunderstorm and had no trouble with leaks or dampness despite heavy rainfall and wind. It was a lovely way to enjoy the mountains without having to spend a lot of time planning and preparing what to bring along. Would definitely come back for another stay!

1 night at Marian’s Fishing Hut
Definitely a nice place to stay at. Clean and simple. Has a TV, DVD player with a good selection of movies, mini fridge, microwave, as well as a mini heater. Has a lot of areas within a short drive to see beautiful sunsets. Has very spotty signal, but thats what makes places like these nice, you have to disconnect and enjoy nature. Definitely recommend staying here. Do note, it does get cold during the nights so prepare accordingly, the blanket and heater was good enough for me.

Weekend Trip to Indian Mountain Homestead
"Wow!!! The word I used when we arrived and when we left. Annette and Patrick thought of everything. Patrick was nice enough to go through everything they have. When you wake up, there’s a propane grill to make breakfast. They have utensils, plates, seasonings—everything you need to prepare food. Lunch/Dinner: there’s a propane grill to make your food. There’s a picnic table to sit at. At night, fire up the propane fire pit to stay warm. There’s an outhouse for doing the business. Oh yeah, the stars are amazing!! Spacious tent with plenty of room. Highly recommend taking a break from the city and making the trip. You’ll feel recharged when you leave.

Great little spot! The neighbors were super friendly, with horses and chickens across the road. The cabin is a small hut, perfect for a couple and two dogs to sleep comfortably. The trail head is in walking distance with a beautiful hike. Lots to do and explore in the area. We really enjoyed our weekend get away! Thank you so much!

Weekend Trip to Indian Mountain Homestead
The site was so clean and absolutely breathtaking. The stars at night are endless. Annette and Patrick definitely thought of everything one could need while camping. They even ran by to drop off extra flashlights for my kids to use. By far my fave spot that we will be going back to soon. I cant recommend this place enough!

The space is quiet (minus the roosters on the property across the street but not at all bothersome!) and well kept. They are in the process of upgrading the cabin and adding some nice touches. Even the outhouse is done really well! There is walkable access to the national forest right around the corner.
There is a grill, mini fridge, microwave and dishware. Plenty of potable water accessible.
The hosts are wonderful. We will definitely return.

The hosts are lovely; very friendly, helpful, and responsive. The site is peaceful and quiet, and accommodations are cute and comfortable. I really appreciate the attention and care put into the site, and all the little features that made our trip run smoothly (extra blankets, availability of cooking supplies, dog bed, a heater, etc.). We will definitely be visiting again!

Weekend Trip to Indian Mountain Homestead
We loved our stay at Glamping with the Aspens. The land is beautiful and pristine. Super quiet - no road noise, no light pollution- billions of viewable stars at night. The camp was well appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Highly recommended!
Patrick and Annette were great- very thorough and very available.
