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!

Great spot SE of Denver on a huge property where the sites are very private. Me and the 2 pooches met all the animals and had a wonderful time being out the city. We will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to The Galapago Glamper

The neighborhood was cute and quaint. You have a private space with a walking trail in your back yard. The RV is decorated with wood fairies in mind...loved that! We stayed two nights and were happy with having a space that was close to the city because everything was easy to get to. I never met Lauryn, but she was responsive and had an amazing list of recommendations for us to do! Thanks for the stay and Denver is one of my Favorite Cities!!

Both the dog and I enjoyed the lazy day and the short walk down the road at dusk to see the large congregation of horses. Plus we had a visit from some wild turkeys. I especially appreciated having the private portable-camp-toilet-in-tent not far off. The equipment was very easy to use. I'm at an age where nature can call at all hours day and night: so this made the stay especially comfortable and worry-free.

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.

Madeline's property was so tranquil and just a short drive into town. With views of Pikes Peak and plenty of space to spread out. We discovered we were a bit larger than the recommended RV length, but Madeline and her Mom were so accommodating! The property is peaceful and we could let our dogs off leash, which is a plus. Especially for our furry full-time travelers to stretch their legs. I would highly recommend a stay here!

The camper had such a cute aesthetic! It was cozy, comfortable, and even had a microwave and mini fridge, which was a nice surprise. Very homey feel with mugs, glassware, plates, bowls, silverware, and coffee makers provided. The local suggestions were a thoughtful touch, and the location was great—close to plenty of spots for food and coffee.

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.

host George took care of us on arrival and was very kind and thoughtful. host Candice was very communicative and sweet via text. i highly recommend their offering of kombucha. serenity grove is nestled in tall ponderosa pine trees so you get plenty of shade and amazing smells. the campsite was clean and just beautiful. there are a lot of low to the ground cactus in the area but not on any of the paths. it is also the furthest from the rest of the campsites and horses. it’s a short walk to visit the sweet horses and lots of wildlife in the area, too. the cows mooing did keep me up some nights so bring ear plugs if you’re not used to that. there’s lots to do in the area especially since it’s between denver and colorado springs. we felt safe to leave our belongings while we adventured for the day. i’d absolutely stay here again!

What a beautiful place. Candice and George were welcoming hosts and have thoughtfully made the campsites private and serene. Having a hammock, table, and chairs made for a nice setup, along with the bathroom tent. Loved taking in the sunrises and especially the sunsets. The horses bring a special healing energy and lay the backdrop for a peaceful stay. Enjoyed seeing the turkeys in the field, hearing the coyotes in the distance at night, and waking up to the sounds of owls. Make sure to try their kombucha ~ it is delicious!!

Amazing location. Right down the road from main Colorado springs. Very quiet location with a much needed separation from society. Used a 2WD vehicle on the appaloosa site. Definitely check ahead if the conditions would allow for easy accessibility. Thank you Madeline for the horse tour. My wife was absolutely enthralled!

Weekend Trip to 120 Acre Animal Sanctuary

Such a great experience! I took my kids for a one night camping trip here and will definitely be back! From arrival, Candice and George were friendly and welcoming, greeting us with kombucha and watermelon. The property is beautiful and the campground felt secluded even though not far from the city. We loved greeting all the animals and my kids fell in love with a few in particular! This place operates on donations, and all proceeds go to feed the animals there; who were all rescued from less than ideal situations! Tell all your friends and go!! You won’t be disappointed!

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.

It truly is a place of healing and reflection. I enjoyed greeting the horses and adored their presence. Candice was amazing at giving the run down of the place and showing me all I needed to know for my stay. The campsite was perfect and I appreciated the provided amenities. Candice and George are stewarding a very special place. I’m already looking forward to planning my next visit!!
