40 remote acres on rugged, natural mountain at 9000' elevation. The air is very thin and the terrain is very rocky and steep. The views are unmatched anywhere. We are located just a few miles from 5 different gold medal fishing reservoirs, the Cave of the Winds, the Cliff Dwellings in Manitou Springs, and the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Weekend Trip to 120 Acre Animal Sanctuary
We absolutely LOVED our experience and Candice and George's land and hope to return in the future! The property was beautiful, and I really enjoyed getting to see their rescue horses. The glamping tent was perfect--they thought of every little detail and were extremely hospital. This is a really special spot and we want to continue to support the work they are doing.

Weekend Trip to 120 Acre Animal Sanctuary
Candice and George thought of everything. This site was lovely and so cozy. Adding on the chance to meet the herd was the absolute cherry on top- we’re now so invested in this place, we want to come back and volunteer! Their land is beautiful, the animals are sweet, and they even treated our pup like their own, offering to take her on a walk while we met the less dog-friendly mules. This was exactly the getaway we needed. I was so relaxed that I even fell asleep one afternoon while reading in the hammock. My boyfriend and I came home feeling so full of gratitude, and my pup came home exhausted from all the fun new sights & smells. I truly can’t say enough great things about Candice & George and their wonderful home!

We had the best camping experience with our 10 year old daughter. We loved meeting all the beautiful horses and (other residents). Sites are perfectly spaced and feel truly private. Candice and George made us feel very welcomed. Glamp tent was so worthwhile for an effortless and comfortable experience. Turkeys roosted in the trees right above us and Coyotes woke us at 3am. Our daughter was thrilled! So very cool! Such an awesome alternative than driving to the mountains! We'll be back!
