Serenity uniquely situated in the middle of hundreds of acres of County Open Space farmland, our micro-tiny house is seated at the edge of our heart-shaped pond in the back corner of our five acre farm. Unobstructed views of the Front Range and Longs Peak, songs of prairie birds and the occasional Blue Heron or Osprey fishing for dinner in the pond, endlessly brilliant sunsets, and the glimmer of a night sky full of stars await you in this peaceful retreat.

We are so fortunate to have the little slice of heaven that we have built our creek side mushroom, veggie and flower farm. We are building a labor of love and would love to have like minded folks joining our community by staying in Red Stripe Rhonda on the creek or our cabin on the cliff- The Little B. The 1950's Bellwood trailer could not be more charming with wood paneling, 1950's styling and positioned right overlooking the bridge on the creek. The outdoor heated shower has a view of the creek and a dry toilet. There are several seating areas capturing quaint vignettes of the farm fields, stunning views and produce. The Little B cabin boasts stunning views, terraced gardens, a hammock grove and a cozy loft. Feel free to look at our on farm events to learn, make and shop local here!

We had such a wonderful greeting from Sara’s grazing sheep, her dog Yogi and her cat Salty. It took only minutes for my son to join her daughter on the family’s swing-set.
We had intended to “glamp” somewhere close to Estes Park, and the Burro fit the bill! The tiny space heater made the camper cozy on the cold nights, and we had access to her walk-in basement restroom and shower (even if we opted not to shower because we like to “rough it” on camping trips).
After a day of hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, my 8-year-old could not wait to “get back to the farm”, and spend time with all the animals. Sara’s daughter Rose even treated my son to a riding lesson on a pony for a very reasonable price.
We also enjoyed the nearby creek just at the back of her property and an excellent recommendation to a nearby park.
Additional perk is that my little loved to pet the animals in the morning while I was getting breakfast or dinner ready. Always something to do at this beautiful location!

A nice farm escape. Fun to walk laps around the pond and relax on the deck of the tiny house. Beautiful view of the mountains.

Staying at Burro on Sara’s property was amazing. Having opportunity for shower in the house and staying in the privacy of the backyard was a great combination for my wife and me. Camper was clean, just enough for two of us on a great location. Close to the main road, yet secluded. Short drive to the restaurants, grocery shops, coffee shops, bakery and trails. Sara was a great host and we would stay at her place again anytime. Excellent communication.

10/10 would recommend. We had a wonderful time staying here! It’s so beautiful and peaceful. It’s in a residential neighborhood, but you’d never think it. The cabin is in its own area with an herb / flower garden and we loved hammocking. Beth was very kind and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay and answered any questions we had.

We loved our stay at the Little Bee Cabin. It was secluded and private but within 15 minutes of everything we needed to enjoy Denver and only about 25 miles from Red Rocks. We loved having our morning tea and coffee in the rocking chairs on the deck and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The bed was comfy, but be prepared to crawl to it because of the low ceiling loft. The outdoor shower by the creek was such a lovely experience and it gets nice and hot for you. The farm, with all its flowers, is really beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

I loved the location and landscape views I had while camping at Sara's. It was private but there were other people and animals around. I made friends with a handsome orange kitty while there and love watching the chickens free ranging around the grounds. Nice stay. Thank you.

This was the perfect spot! My partner and I wanted to have the experience of being immersed in nature without having to figure out how to take all of our camping gear on a plane and this absolutely hit the spot. They’ve gone out of their way to make everything as smooth as possible.

The space is beautifully designed with gorgeous sliding doors that open up three sides to the outdoors, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor feel. We really appreciated access to electricity and cell service, plus the incredible convenience of restaurants and shops just a five-minute drive away - no need for extensive planning!
The location is perfect for those who want easy access to amenities while still enjoying a cabin vibe. The cabin sits in a neighborhood setting, so you’ll hear the sounds of suburban life during the day. For us, this was a nice balance of nature and convenience..
Beth was very responsive to all questions that came up, and we’d definitely recommend this spot.

What an amazing and peaceful space! The upper cabin is beautiful and quaint getaway from the city. Quiet mornings on the balcony and lunchtime hangs by the creek were some of the best memories. We stayed for a couple of nights for some Red Rocks shows and we will definitely be coming back to stay again and hang on the farm some more. Lovely couple and lovely property. You won't regret a moment staying here.

We loved Little B cabin at Balsam Farm. What a unique urban farm experience. The location is so convenient for red rocks, and Mile High and downtown, and for quick mountain access too. The cabin is cozy, perched up on a hill above the farm. Be sure to read Beth's details about the place and you'll enjoy this place. Great morning coffee on the hammock!
