The Boulder Hideout is a camper's dream come true, offering a secluded escape surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes. Guests consistently praise the outstanding views, tranquil atmosphere, and the opportunity for stargazing under expansive skies. The tiny house offers a cozy retreat with thoughtful amenities and a chance to truly unplug from the hustle and bustle. However, some guests noted the presence of a nearby raceway, which might be a consideration for those seeking complete silence.

We love the Boulder hideout ! Had a great time in there again and the Solar AC was quite nice for the daytime heat. Always love these new additions with making the tiny home more comfortable every time we stay. Had another great experience and many thanks Cole :)

Stargazing 10 out of 10
Perfectly secluded, allowing us to feel completely immersed in the natural beauty. Quiet, serene, and magical—the perfect spot for star-gazing at night. We had panoramic, sweeping views of the desert. Boulders and Saguaro cactus everywhere. Cole is an outstanding host. Def returning soon!

Amazing desert getaway
With kids
Our family of 3 loved being out in the wilderness, surrounded by boulders! It was a really special place and we especially enjoyed the dark skies all of the wildlife we saw. Cole was a friendly and responsive host, and was flexible about our check-out time, which we really appreciated.

This tiny house and off-grid spot is perfect for a tech-free getaway. Comfy bed, thoughtful touches, and most importantly, Sonoran desert as far as the eye can see. Prepare to see the stars in a new light!

Super private and beautiful location. It was awesome to be able to see all the stars at night. The place was clean and cozy and perfect for what we needed. I do recommend bringing extra lighting, if you want to move around at night. Thankfully we did. I would return

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was beautiful and unique, surrounded by scenic views and huge boulders that made the whole experience feel extra special. The cabin itself was cozy and perfect for a peaceful overnight getaway with my wife and our dogs.
Cole, the host, went above and beyond by providing thoughtful amenities like fresh well water in a barrel, firewood, a lighter, a grill with propane, and even small but super helpful items like paper towels and dishes. It’s clear that a lot of care was put into making the place comfortable and welcoming.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature with a few comforts included.

Incredible
I spent two glorious nights at the Boulders. It's clear that Cole has put a lot of thought and passion into this cabin. I loved the attention to detail; the salvaged wood, the western style bedding, decorative ceramics, and the photos showcasing the work that went into building this one-of-a-kind treasure. On a personal note, it was shocking to see the Starlink satellite when I sat on a boulder marveling at the night sky (had to research it once I got cell service, as I thought I was observing a extraordinary astronomical event or an alien landing😆).
The one thing I think some may want to know about is that there is a UTV raceway somewhat nearby. During daylight hours, you can hear it. It didn't bother me at all, but someone looking for complete silence may want to take note.
Overall an extraordinary stay and I am thankful to Cole and Hipcamp for making it possible.

You Must Stay Here!!!
If you are searching for a hideaway to unplug from the world, I recommend The Boulders as your next escape. We were there midweek and it was sooo quiet. We heard an airplane occasionally but little else. Photos do not do justice to the stunning landscape. This was an amazing experience I hope to revisit again.

Incredible views and winding trails for hiking through the open desert. The boulders were otherworldly. We had such a magical time here!

Boulder Hideout was just as wonderful as the pictures looked. It's nestled in the boulders and invisible from outside. Quiet, comfortable, peaceful. Verizon was a bit sketchy, but I got it to work. Just a joy to be there.

I had a great time staying at this unique property with my family. The tiny home is clean and comfortable- a little tight for 4 of us but we brought a blow-up mattress and made it work. Appreciated the wood burning stove on a cold night and the big deck for lounging and marveling at the awe-inspiring views.

Private, Romantic & Beautiful!
Beautiful, clean, private, romantic, just awesome overall. My fiancé and I stayed 2 nights and had such an amazing peaceful time. Cole made sure we had the directions and gate code ahead of time, he also responded super quick to any questions we had. We did explore a bit but mostly stayed around the cabin. There is no power but we brought a large power bank and it was enough to power our projector and phones. Hopefully we get to bring our kiddos next time! 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a cozy, private experience.

Great getaway in the desert!
Was looking for a place to getaway from it all and this was it. This little cabin had all the comforts I was looking for after camping in a tent for a week. Plenty of fresh water and firewood was provided. Cole, the host, was very responsive to my questions and helped make sure I had a good time. The sunsets from the deck over the rocks and cactus were epic. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay at the Boulder Hideout! Our dogs had the best time exploring around all the rocks and the little cabin was so cozy. We spent hours at night laying in our truck bed looking at the stars and felt so lucky to be the only ones out there for miles!
Thank you Cole! We hope to come back one day.

This is the most amazing spot I’ve spent time at during my entire journey across the country. Extremely beautiful surroundings and although we had to be careful, my dog enjoyed her time there too! Cole was incredibly helpful in every way! Highly recommend Cole’s property and if I’m ever back in that part of the country, I’ll definitely return to the boulders!

Gem of a spot

I think we were the first hip campers to book this spot and was a bit reluctant with no reviews. Well we went for it and was absolutely fantastic. The cabin itself is comfortable and cozy, has the basics. Deck is awesome, firepit, easily accessible porta, boulders everywhere. Views are amazing and really cool property to walk around on. Thanks so much for opening this space up Cole and looking forward to coming back :)

This property is literally exceptional in every way. Very impressive piece of land with easy access and family friendly trails throughout. For the more adventurous many of the boulders are climb able, and the desert landscape is an absolute pleasure to roam off trail. Great experience and looking forward to staying again.

Desert oasis!
I loved that the home was surrounded by beautiful scenery! We plan on coming back when we are in the Phoenix area again! Paths we’re available to explore the property and the cows were fun to see :)
