1 night at Old Moon Acres Tipi Haven

If you need recharging, a reset, peace, quiet, Magik, grounding and to be in nature, feel the basics of living minimally with mother Earth, the trees, the mountains, this is a must. Second time here in the same year The Hawk TiPi comfortably fits 4 adults and 4 dogs. Pure Bliss. Cannot believe I have to wait until next year to come back. 🙏🪶🙏

3 nights at Old Moon Acres Tipi Haven

This is one of our favorite places to glamp. It’s nice to not have to pack dishes, cookware, etc. There’s a great setup to cook. Sway in the hammocks after breakfast. The beds inside the teepees are so comfy. The host is incredibly kind.

3 nights at Zenzen Gardens

The glamping experience at ZenZen gardens is nothing short of magical. The views are gorgeous, flowers adorn the property, and the tent is comfortable & cute. Our dog absolutely loved being able to hang out on the property with other pups. We did the wine tasting and enjoyed the veranda which were additional pluses! Paonia is also a gem with a surprisingly amazing food scene and lots of things to see and do. We visited many local wineries (all charming) and made a day trip to Crested Butte. Perfect weekend!

3 nights at Gartenhaus Cabin in Pines

The cabin is beautiful and very comfortable. Nice and clean and new feeling. The air smelled beautifully of pine and the deck and grill were great. Location was central to Leadville and Buena Vista both. Would definitely go back.

1 night at Old Moon Acres Tipi Haven

One night wasn't enough.. What a sanctuary. Clean, green, so so peaceful, relaxing. I booked a second night in the deer 🦌 Tipi. Loved the solar bag showers, loved loved the views, and the private mini hike. Love that we could take our dogs because lots of places do not. Our dogs were in heaven. Highly highly recommend this sanctuary.

1 night at Zenzen Gardens

When we walked through the gate, I knew this was going to be an epic experience! The grounds are exceptionally beautiful with flower gardens, butterflies and beautiful views as the sun was setting. We sat on the patio under the cool mist that offset the heat of the day. We drank wine and laughed along side Cindie while her beautiful dog Ginger chased butterflies…and literally smiled the whole time! It was like ‘living poetry’. What a perfect way to end a day of traveling through the mountains:)

2 nights at Old Moon Acres Tipi Haven

Our stay at old moon acres was awesome! We all had a blast and especially our kids. Stacy was very accommodating to our needs and helping us out from the very beginning. She is very nice and takes good care of her guests. It was a nice get away from the city. It is very kid friendly and a nice place to take the family. The place is very clean and it was a nice experience sleeping in a Tipi. Has a nice view of the mountains, a nice little spot to cook with everything provided and a nice fire pit to have a camp fire at night. Also not too far away are some fishing spots and a small town Crawford for whatever you might need. I would definitely recommend this place it was a nice stay 10/10 for us.

Great stay! The tent was exactly as described, there was even a mini swamp cooler to help keep the temperature down. The neighborhood deer named Alfred came by to visit a few times. Would stay again.

3 nights at Zenzen Gardens

we enjoyed glamping in Cosmos on Zen Zen Gardens situated between Paonia and Hodgekiss along the foothills. There are 3 platform tents very roomy with everything you need from coffee to bedding and towels. Plus they have electrical outlets. Onsite are 2 shower stalls with sinks and 2 porta-potty toilets. In addition to the stay, we had a great time attending one of their events onsite. The staff is super friendly and the gardens are beautiful!

Weekend Trip to Old Moon Acres Tipi Haven

The property was perfect! My husband and sons had one Tipi, and my friend and her son had another and they were spacious and cute! The mattresses were comfy and the kids had so much fun! The porta-potties were clean, and the shower was perfect. Would much rather this bathroom set up than any facility at a camp ground. The little kitchen area by the creek was accommodating and relaxing, and the creek was a blast for the kids to get muddy and play in, without the concern of drowning. There was plenty of area in the pretty grass for the kids and puppies to run! Can’t wait to go back!

3 nights at Zenzen Gardens

What a wonderful getaway! I spent three nights at ZenZen in the Cosmo tent listening to the breeze and the birds. The tents are beautifully appointed (coffee and wi-fi, fresh towels) and have air conditioners that cool things down nicely (I visited in mid-July) for a good night's sleep. The showers have everything you'll need and the sheets are crisp and fragrance free. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. Cindie, the proprietress, was my gracious hostess. She and her staff were so accommodating, warm, and professional. They treated me like a prince! Everything has been carefully thought of to make my stay in the glamping tent easy and relaxing. The wines are wonderful (go for the petite syrah), and the charcuterie board turned out to be dinner one night. I will be back. This serene little farm is a keeper! Thank you, Cindie and your staff!

We loved tipi camping here! We were the only ones this particular trip. It was easy to find and Stacy was very responsive and helpful. She even checked in with us to make sure we were all set The views are beautiful. Close to activities in Paonia or Crawford.
