When sending a booking request, please include a few details about your trip. This greatly helps us reduce spam requests and to know that you as our guest will care about the place where you stay! This is a farm property and a small working homestead. We are glad to host you and trust that you will enjoy it respectfully!

You will love your getaway on a private farm in your own space! This is not your average hotel stay. Welcome to a little adventure, complemented by thoughtful amenities to make you feel more at home.

This is a well-equipped Safari-style canvas tent on a well-maintained small rural family farm homestead.

The property is 15 acres with trees and pastures raising traditional animals and gardens. You will see and hear cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and pigs! All the great surroundings of a traditional farm while being near local attractions, dining, and shopping.

Conveniently located near Loveland, Johnstown, Berthoud, Fort Collins, and Greeley. Less than 15 minutes from The Ranch events center which hosts the Larimer County Fair, concerts, sporting events, and more. Also near sports tournament sites such as Loveland Sports Park and Fort Collins Soccer Complex.

The tent is on a raised deck in a meaningful setting with beautiful views. Whether you are early to rise with the sun or you enjoy wonderful sunsets and sipping tea into the night skies, make sure to bring your camera with you! Enjoy having a private clean outhouse, patio seating, picnic area with grill, and fire pit in peaceful surroundings. (NOTE: Some older pictures show a pond which is no longer in service, but during late Spring through Summer there is a small irrigation creek that runs about 20 yards from the tent and provides very nice atmosphere.)

Owner/resident lives onsite as well in a home close to the tent area, about 40-50 yards away. Tent area has a privacy fence and separate access.

Regenerative agriculture is our goal. You will see all the residents of the farm (people and animals alike) working towards this goal.

Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park are about 45 minutes away, and many local shopping and dining options are about 10 minutes away.

There is road noise about a 1/4 mile away, primarily in daytime and some at night. If you want something truly secluded, please find other options, or feel free to ask for our recommendations! Most of our guests have said they were not bothered by the road noise, but everyone is different. Browse guest reviews for their thoughts.

We look forward to your stay with us and hope it is filled with good memories!

SPRING:
1.) May, June, and July are most likely for thunderstorms, wind, and rain/hail. Guests report feeling safe and staying dry.

2.) The daylight is long, and the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful as with most seasons.

1.) This is a captivating season for camping. Golden colors indicate the movement toward a time for slowing down. As with other seasons, the weather varies greatly, so prepare accordingly.
2.) October and November can bring early snow, but generally it is a calm time. We provide wood for the wood stove as needed.
