After traveling the US in our motorhome for almost 5 years my husband Scott and I know the value of a smiling face and a helping hand after a day (or week) of travel. Exploring and experiencing this amazing country, its diversity and incredible people enhanced our lives in so many ways. In mid 2017 we found out our first grandchild was on the way. Long story short we parked the RV and parked ourselves here in Paonia, CO. In December of that year, we moved onto this amazing property full time and started the long list of fix ups (the list is still long). lol We are blessed to have our two adult sons and (aforementioned) grandson living on this property with us. Our philosophy is to live in the moment as the present is the gift. Whether enjoying a sunrise or a sunset or anytime in between you’ll likely find us outside most days. In that, we love all that nature has to offer including fresh fruits and veggies, animals, beauty and fragrances. Sage View Ranch is being created with the desire to have people experience the natural rustic beauty and magic of Paonia. Scott and I look forward to meeting you :)

Weekend Trip to Riverwalk Yurt, luxury on river

George's property is absolutely stunning and the site offers everything you need! The tipi is quite charming and includes a foam mattress (bring your pillow and sleeping bag), a table and chairs, a mini cooler, a lantern, drinking water, flowers from his garden, and towels for the very nice bathhouse. The heated bathhouse is a short walk away with hot water. You'll be nestled in the trees with a front row view of the river, plenty of space between you and your neighbors. A 5-minute walk to Big B's Cider and a 3 min drive into Paonia town. George was a lovely host and this place is a gem! We will certainly be back!

Lovely stay! Beautiful view. Quiet. Bathhouse terrific. Only sad that Tater didn’t visit. 😹. Highly recommend.

5 nights at Riverwalk Yurt, luxury on river

We were camping with our trailer. Great site, with river access, fire pit, grill, a true restroom and shower (not an outhouse with a bucket), you feel secluded yet you are close to everything Paonia had to offer. Would camp here again the next time we visit the western slope.

Bath house. Tater inspecting to make sure campers did not leave the lights on...

Weekend Trip to Arrowhead Getaway

Such an incredible spot! The leaves were turning and it was the perfect place for peeping. Unexpected, there’s a lodge nearby that serves delicious food. Overall, such a wonderful stay. Would stay here again hands down!

Weekend Trip to Monarch Spur RV Park and Campground

Had the BEST time tent camping here over the weekend! The staff onsite was friendly and helpful. The sites and bathrooms were clean and well managed. I was shocked to see there was laundry on site as well which was so nice to have after coming back from the hot springs. Definitely recommend 10/10 will stay again.

Magnificent place with incredible views, privacy and a lot of tranquility, the boys enjoyed all the outdoor activities offered and fishing in the lake was the icing on the cake

1 night at Frenchman's Creek Ranch

Beautiful property, super friendly and interesting hosts. I hope to spend an extra day or two next year if they’re available/ willing to host me again. Definitely a great spot to relax.

1 night at Tater's Black Canyon Campground

This was a great site! I was worried about being on the north rim of Black Canyon because the “main” stuff is on the south rim but IT WAS SO GREAT! We did the south rim the day before and hit the North Rim morning after (views are 10x better!!) Definitely recommend Tater’s campground, so clean, so comfortable, so serene. Star gazing, stunning views, seclusion, and sweet pets 🩵 Traci + Chris have done a wonderful job.

Weekend Trip to Monarch Spur RV Park and Campground

We had a beautiful secluded camp spot right on the river. It’s next to the road but the river is so loud you don’t hear it. Great accommodations, lovely staff and great location!

Weekend Trip to Riverwalk Yurt, luxury on river

A lovely spot to camp, with trees for shade, a clean indoor bathroom, and good location close to downtown Paonia and Big B's. Amenities include a nice fire ring -- stocked with firewood! -- as well as tables and chairs.

Beautiful place! They've created such a nice space with beautiful spots to sit by the river. The inside of the you're is beautifully furnished and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend.

2 nights at Tater's Black Canyon Campground

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Tater’s. Chris is a helpful and friendly host and we enjoyed chatting with him and meeting Tater, Sugi and Otis. The view of the nearby mountains was amazing, especially at sunset and the dark sky allowed for wonderful stargazing. The bathhouse with showers was a short walk from the campsite and it is kept clean. We had everything we needed for a relaxing visit while exploring the north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
