Your site is privately yours, whether it be a container home, a safari tent, or a pop-up. Outside your space is the rest of our 6.5 acre property: waterfowl, mule deer, hawks and eagles, flowers, and a beautiful flowing creek that you can wade through. We have both off-grid and on-grid facilities, and walking the property is encouraged. However, know that the space is shared with our family and other glampers. Private property "glamping" (short for "glamorous camping") minutes from Colorado Springs. Your safari tent comes furnished like a master bedroom, including queen bed, extended wifi, solar energy, deck with chairs, propane fire pit and grill. You'll be "roughing it" a little with outhouse and camp showers, and you may hear coyotes at night. The creek flows year round, deer and hawks and waterfowl are seen daily. Welcome to Monument Creek and to the "glamping" community! We also have our 20' container home which is called the "Cozy Qube," manufactured and trademarked by our son, Micah, a graduate from Lincoln Tech's Welding Academy in Denver. You will find most everything you need to enjoy a hotel-like studio visit. The Cozy Qubes have a simple-yet-open layout specifically designed for safe and "cozy" experiences for people who want a restful, semi-outdoor experience.  The Monument/Colorado Springs area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Conveniently located along the Rampart Range of Colorado, your tent is nestled in a rural-residential homestead with a beautiful creek flowing through it (and you're welcome to explore!). A mile to the East is civilization (stores, shops, etc.), and a mile to the West is dense mountain forests (Pike National Forest). Public lakes are within a couple miles, and tons of tourist attractions a short drive away (Garden of the Gods, Air Force Academy, etc.). We provide towels, toilet paper, paper towels, and trash can liners. If you forget anything, Walmart is a two-mile drive, or just text us. We may have "forgetables" on hand to save you the trip. Be aware of AMENITY LIMITATIONS. Glamping is "glamorous," but it is still "off grid." To prepare for your stay, pay attention to the added notes below. A two-gallon water cooler will be full when you arrive. A shared water spigot is available a short distance from your site. The water is drawn from our property's well (not city water). Fill your water cooler and camp showers as much as you want. A Davis Tent Royal Throne Outhouse™ is set up with a Cabela's Camp Commode™. Toilet paper and freshener are stocked. Two solar shower bags are available to use, and we suggest filling them the night before and let the morning sun heat them up. If you really want to escape camping and get a private 10+ minute hot shower, a Pilot station is just a few miles drive to the Baptist Road exit on I-25. A two-burner grill with a side burner and kettle for heating water. The grill has everything you'd expect with a grill (tongs, spatulas, etc.) and we include a cast-iron pan to cook with. We include a few paper plates and utensils to use up, but we recommend you bring your own picnic supplies to meet your individual needs. We are living family life up the hill in the main house, but someone may be available to come help you with anything onsite. We are friendly people who love to meet our guests, but we also will respect your space and your privacy. We will never enter your tent during your stay. Always feel free to message us with questions or concerns.

Great Anniversary Get Away
We loved this little getaway! The perfect size and perfect amount of “camping” for us. Everything we needed was there and felt plenty secluded despite being 10min from town. We will for sure be back again!

Such a cute spot to enjoy our evenings. It was nice to watch the stars as we fell asleep and the mule deer in the morning.

The tent was fully equipped with what I needed and was quite spacious. The hot tub was the cherry on top to a relaxing evening.

Perfect Glamping site!
This place is heaven! The decor in the tent was beautiful. Homemade wine and glasses for an evening spent in the hot tub under the stars. I had never used a camp shower before but it was fine. Private and romantic. The hosts are unobtrusive and you are far enough away from other tents to feel relaxed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wow - glamping is just so much easier (logistically) than camping. For us (two adults and one toddler), it really hit the spot. Chris and Wendy had everything we needed - a grill, chairs, a super comfy bed, a propane fire pit, a table for food prep, some cooking utensils, some bags of tea, a power strip (!), etc. Chris came down to say hello (this site is close to their home), and he was very nice. They have a lovely property, and we'd stay again!

This was our first time glamping and Wendy and Chris’ container did not disappoint! We enjoyed how peaceful and comfortable it was, in a beautiful setting of Colorado scrub oak. A great retreat.

Such a cute experience! They truly do have everything you need, which was so nice to not have to unpack all of our camping stuff the night before leaving. Perfect way to end a girls trip. Complementary bottle of wine, easy to find ( down a dirt path in a grassy area near a house / other tent, very responsive hosts, grill, fire pit (was kind of chilly inside - we stayed in August, cooking utensils, water, soap. Would stay again!

This was a lovely glamping site. The creek was very relaxing. The only problem was that I couldn’t stay longer!

Beautiful campsite in a great setting. Close to town, yet very private. The stream gives a mountain “feel” and it’s an all-around A+. The tent is clean and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Glamping in nature
Glamping on Chris and Wendy's land was so amazing. The tent site was set up so well that we had everything we needed and barely had to use anything we brought. They thought of everything down to the smallest detail. The king bed was the most comfortable I'd ever slept in and the bedside lamps made it so easy to get around at night. The views and sunsets were exquisite and the stream flowing through the property was a nice touch. I would recommend tent 3 as it has an amazing hot tub even though all the tent sites looked great. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family.

Great ownership but overpriced.
I feel bad writing this review as the owners were amazing and definitely went above and beyond for a great stay. However, for the price- I would not choose to stay here. The pictures were very deceiving unfortunately. You are camped right in someone’s backyard in the middle of a neighborhood. There is minimal if any privacy and the river in the backyard was considerably smaller than the pictures let on. The owners were great- just not worth the money.

The pictures are very deceiving. The tents are behind someone’s house I think heir back yard. The creek, river whatever it was they have pictures of, was not at all like the photos. Very disappointed.

Great little escape...
The container home is a great escape for any couple looking for a fun escape. This is glamping at its finest! A covered porch with a grill, gas fireplace and a hot tub. A lovely view. And a "just right" space, with all the amenities, to enjoy. Weived our long weekend in Monument. The nearby hikes were wonderful and we didn't feel too far away from anything. While at the same time it was secluded and private.

Great mom-daughter/soccer-camp week
My daughter & I loved everything! Lovely spot, peaceful, sweet deck, nothing we didn’t need & everything we did! We appreciated thoughtful touches like the telescope, helpful features like the grill with a side burner, and quick accommodation of replacing an empty propane tank with a full one. We met Chris & son Isaiah, who were both super nice; and also enjoyed the sense of being on our own. Thank you!!

PREMIUM Glamping at Monument Creek
Great option for a quick, easy getaway close to Denver. Arriving to a pitched tent, freshly made bed, and grill ready to go made life easy and results in a lower impact and lower stress camping experience than doing it all yourself. My kids enjoyed relaxing in the hammock, roasting smores on the propane fire, making mud pies in the dirt, and playing pooh sticks in the creek.

PREMIUM Glamping at Monument Creek
A very enjoyable experience
Parking next to the camp site was very convenient. The hosts provided a lot of nice amenities for us to use, including a gas grill, two indoor heaters, utensils, and a bundle of firewood. The tent was cozy despit the outside temperature being in the 30s. We also enjoyed the very friendly cats who visited us in the afternoon and again the morning - what a nice surprise for us cat lovers!

Perfect mini vacation
This was my second visit to the containers I’ve now been in #2 and #3 and both were awesome , I love the private decks and hot tub area , inside the containers are cozy and warm with color changing wall fireplace . I spent most of the night in my private hot tub over looking city lights and enjoying beautiful stars !
