Incredible site! I arranged a proposal on this location and it was perfect. The view is stunning the pictures don’t do it justice. Highly recommend. Jason is also a great host.

Super unique spot! The views looking out our tent door were amazing! The kids nonstop explored and searched for wild raspberries. Definitely would recommend!

Jason stopped by to say hello and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The spot was perfect! Amazing views, easy to get to, and plenty of space to spread out.

The view is magnificent, and it is what you are paying for. The host responds to questions quickly. I will caution as the site requires maneuvering 2 very tight hairpin switch backs to get to. I was pulling an off road pop up trailer with a tundra and had to get creative to make it up. Although page lists 30 ft vehicle, i would not attempt in one unless I was incredibly skilled at driving it.

The view was absolutely stunning and it felt private. The land was somewhat rocky so there were limited places for the tent. There was a fire pit, some chairs, and a trash can. Overall, we enjoyed it but I think it is a little overpriced for what you're getting. We would happily come back but not for $200/night.
We also had a somewhat difficult time finding the place. Google directed us to a spot that was too early on the road. You need to go past Schaffer Ranch and then continue until you see the signs for Vista Point on your right hand side (it's a decent amount farther from Schaffer Ranch). Jason was responsive to our lost messages!

This site has a beautiful panoramic view! We tow a 16 ft Airstream and for us the sharp steep turns to get into and out of the site were very challenging.

Everything went well! Jason greeted us upon arrival and asked if there was any needs-- to our surprise there is already chairs..a picnic table...and grills ready to use. He has thought of everything. Travel to the site in daylight as you can miss signs easily when up in the mountain---we towed in our 16' trailered camper and that would be the max I would trust making some of the hairpin turns going up. This site is everything. A must visit. The stars are worth it alone.

Beautiful view!! Jason gave very clear directions and was friendly! We did reach a closed gate at the base of their property that wasn't expected from the directions so don't be alarmed if a sheriff patrol gate is closed when you arrive. We just opened and closed it behind us. Very quiet other than a worker driving up to our site not knowing we were there Sat morning. Jason is building a cabin and clearing some land currently down the hill from the site. Only matters to us bc we have rescue dogs with anxiety so we intentionally sought a quiet site. Innocent mistake but did impact our morning and breakfast cooking briefly. All this said, we'd definitely recommend this site for it's location and beautiful view!

The views were incredible!! Jason’s land is amazing, we stayed for just one night, and it was beautiful. Directions were clear and we were able to find the site very easily. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

100% reccomend this place. Pictures don't do justice to how beutiful it is. We stopped for a quick overnight stay on our trip, but this will become a top destination for us.
Host was amazing and friendly, and really engaged in making sure we were happy.

Beautiful scenic road in. Seeing the rocks up close, rock climbers, tunnels. Feels like a hidden gem.
Gas station to stop at 12 minutes before. You then get on to a dirt road. Apple Maps takes you directly to the spot. Full service bars (Verizon). When you see the view your jaw can’t help but drop. It seems like you can see the entire Rocky Mountain range. Me, my husband, dog (unleashed) and 6 month old baby boy are over the moon. We can’t believe our luck in finding this beautiful, secluded and peaceful spot. The owner was extremely helpful and was a great guy. You can tell he has amazing plans for this location and it will only improve over time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND changing any plans you have to stay at this site.
