Meadow Glamping w/ Mountain Views

This sight is so amazing, The hosts were very helpful and kind. We came here for a nice getaway the area is very quiet and beautiful. The tent was spacious and included a heater! Cooking was easy and Heidi included all the basics you will need from cooking oil to pans and utensils. Complimentary coffee supplies and ear plugs for those who are light sleepers. Overall a 10/10 experience, for those who are new to camping or want a little more cozy experience this is the spot! :)

Ridge Glamping w/ Mountain Views

We had an amazing stay. The place had everything you need for camping, including dishes and drinking water. We sat around the fire pit and made marshmallows with my kids. The inside of the tent was so nice and clean. Mattress was so comfortable. I slept better than at home. Evening under the sky full of stars, morning with view of green hills. We bought our electric bikes and explored around. So fun, we even pet lamas and saw horses on the way. We will for sure be back !

Quiet, Peaceful, Beautiful

Meadow Glamping w/ Mountain Views

What an incredible space with fantastic views! My 3 boys wanted to try camping and I liked this spot because it feels remote while not being too far from town. The camp site was well appointed with tons of blankets, towels, chairs, picnic table, firepit, and propane heater for the tent. Everything seemed well maintained and clean. You could tell the host had thoughtfully anticipated what we might need. The tent was huge, easily and comfortably sleeping the four of us. It actually had a real bed, which was comfortable, and some thick fold-out mattresses for the kids. I was alone with 3 children and felt safe as the site is located off a secluded cul-de-sac on the side of a mountain. Host was nearby but with enough space that it felt private. There were also neighbors visible but nobody close. Star gazing was fun and the kids will definitely remember telling scary stories around the fire while listening to coyotes in the distance. Camping is not my preferred vacation style, but this did not feel like "roughing it." I definitely recommend this spot without hesitation.
