Weekend Trip to Western Hills Campground

This was an adequate rv campground. No frills but plenty of space and at a descent price while passing through.

2 nights at Little Cabin with a view

Absolutely loved this spot! The view alone is worth the trip—a stunning, peaceful vista overlooking rolling hills that made every sunset feel magical. Hummingbirds danced just outside the door, adding an extra touch of charm. The site had just the right amount of amenities to keep packing light and stress-free. Best of all, Linda went above and beyond with thoughtful little treats—for both me and my dog—that made us feel genuinely welcomed and spoiled. Can’t wait to return!

Really awesome space. I got to test out their new spots close to the river in the trees, and it was absolutely perfect. Electrics, wifi (wasn't here but will be soon) and water. The people are fantastic, the bathrooms are clean and showers are great. I'll be trying the cabins next time.

The cabin was unique and clean on a hilltop! Lucky to have perfect weather during our stay. There view was spectacular. We’re able to enjoy the sunset from the porch, and the night sky with lots of stars and moon even inside the cabin. The surroundings is very spacious and fenced for our dog to explore unleashed. And lastly, Linda is definitely a super host. Very accommodating, friendly with a motherly approach. ❤️

What a great peaceful beautiful spot. Pete and his family are wonderful hosts and the spot-couldn’t get any better. The history about the area is fascinating and Woods Landing is a hideaway that’s close to so much. Thank you!

Wow wow wow! Linda’s cabin was INCREDIBLE! From the mountainside sunsets to the thoughtful conversations and fresh baked cookies, Linda has thought of everything for guests. This is, by far, the most comfortable, personally curated, and thoughtful HipCamp stay I’ve ever experienced. I felt comfortable, safe, peaceful, and restored and specifically chose Linda’s cabin as the final stop in my 50 day camping/glamping roadtrip before returning home.

Beautiful scenery. Close to hiking and fishing. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Linda’s Tiny Little Cabin is truly a magical place! I knew when I booked my reservation and read the reviews it was going to be wonderful! Before arriving, Linda had messaged me with directions from Ft. Collins and given me some options of scenic routes to explore on the way there. She was so thoughtful and caring and I knew as a woman traveling solo I was in good hands and was going to feel safe staying at her cabin. The drive up to her cabin was so beautiful and I even stopped for a short hike and to let my dog frolic in the Laramie River which is across from her property and down the road a bit. A must for the pup when the weather is nice. When I pulled up to Linda’s house, she greeted me with warm cookies and treats for my dog. I felt like I was visiting a good friend that I hadn’t seen in a long time which was so nice. Linda then showed me to my cabin and I gave me a layout of the land. Her cabin was so cute and very comfortable and so thoughtfully decorated with everything that is needed. I spend the afternoon walking on the little paths around her land (15 acres) and let my dog run and explore. Watching the sunset on the porch or the gazebo was another magical experience of staying at Linda’s cabin! Waking up the next morning, I was greeted with a fresh hot pot of coffee at my doorstep and more treats for me and my dog! My stay was not quite 24 hours but the joy that I felt in that time period is something that I will always remember and cherish! Until next time!😀

Ellen and her family have created a very sweet respite. Highly responsive and quickly and easily supply what ever you need. The restaurant staff are delightful. Super friendly spot, pet friendly too. Right on the Laramie river.

Absolutely the most thoughtful little cabin there is! Linda's attention to detail, kindness and hospitality made for a delightful little getaway. I can't recommend it enough!!

Weekend Trip to Little Cabin with a view

Linda was the most pleasant, sweetest, and pampering host! We all got treats, not just doggies. We had fresh coffee delivered in the morning! I felt like a celebrity with such treatment. Cabin was very warm and the bed is just soooo comfy! Soft and lots of blankets! The best sleep I have had in years! We were able to let our doggies off leash which is wonderful because we live in an apartment. I would give Linda's cabin 100 stars! We plan on returning!
