We had an absolute blast with Cindie! the yurts were so nice, Cindie was so attentive and always had great reccs for what to do/eat in town. The wine tasting was stellar. Zen Zen gardens is a paonia gem and we hope this becomes a landmark for the community. By far the most fun we’ve had in a while

1 night at Zenzen Gardens
We enjoyed ZenZen Gardens so much that we stayed two extra nights! Lovely garden and spectacular scenery. We enjoyed sipping wine from the terrace in the afternoons. Comfy and very clean. We definitely hope to return!

Great boondocking spot. The winery grounds are lovely. The camping area is an empty field. Nice clean porta potties with a water setup for washing hands. Nice views and a sweet little town. I will stay again.

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!

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:)

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.

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!

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!

Very laid back place, loved being able to let my dogs run around with the other dogs on site. Tent camping areas were small but we got a good spot that was quiet and out of the way.

Cindie was really accommodating and great to work with. Her land is super beautiful and all that comes to visit will enjoy a very peaceful stay. The wine tasting is the best in all of the valley. A very personal experience.

2 nights at Zenzen Gardens
I loved how comfortable the glamping tent is, especially the bed. It’s appointed with the essentials for an enjoyable stay. This includes linens, towels, water, coffee, and a powerful fan, which is good for chilling, the tent down and drowning out noises.
The setting is so relaxing, peaceful, and quiet. I brought my dog to enjoy chilling too.
Cindie was gracious with her time and accommodating when I chatted with her in the tasting area. She offered hi hiking suggestions for my dog and me. I stayed two nights and ordered the charcuterie board each night and enjoyed it while sipping a glass of wine while drinking in the spectacular view.
The outdoor shower was better than expected with hot water and a powerful stream. There’s also a sink in the shower area.
Zenzen Gardens offers the tranquility my spirit and soul was looking for.

Cindie is a kind and gracious host. She has an absolutely gorgeous property in the Northfork Valley with wide open space and Mountain views.
Afternoons were in the high 90s during our stay and Cindie kindly offered to let us move our van under a big cottonwood tree on the private part of her property during the heat of the day. Instead, we opted to spend the afternoons in the shade of the veranda admiring her beautiful gardens or in the covered stage area that she uses for live music performances. Fortunately, evenings and mornings are gloriously cool in this area.
It was fun to watch a resident deer family grazing right outside our van at dusk. We also enjoyed the wine and charcuterie plate she serves as part of her tasting room business. The wine from a local winery, Alfred Eames, was excellent! We bought a bottle of our favorite, Sangre Del Sol, to take home with us.
The only thing that could be a concern would be the condition of the field if it were to rain. The Majestic View field has been plowed in the last year or two, so the soil is pretty loose. There are some morning glories growing in, but if it were to rain, it would become very muddy. Since the property is located in high desert, rain is not typical, but certainly can happen during monsoon season. My guess is, that if it did rain, Cindie would have guests park their rig in the compacted parking lot area.

Great spot. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to town but not so close you get a lot of traffic. Only had two issues while camping but it wasnt property related. The place was beautiful and the porta potties were very well kept...I was very nervous about that. We didn't get to try the wines sadly but maybe next time!
