“Camping” in the Rocky Mountain back country with MOST of the comforts of home

First of all, 360 degrees view of unmatched Rocky Mountain beauty. Second, the seclusion of a back country campsite with most of the comforts of home. Miles and miles of view and not one point of artificial light visible at night. Normally, you would have to hike miles and sleep in a tent to find this kind of beauty and seclusion. Last but not least, an incredibly responsive owner and property manager. We had a maintenance issue and had a repair person standing at the door an hour and a half later. Incredible when you consider where this property is located. (We had decent AT&T cell service and decent internet in the bath house.) You probably need to be a bit of a camper to fully appreciate what you are getting here. If you are, go here if you get a chance. Yes you will need a high clearance vehicle to get there.

You MUST book this place

If you’re looking for a beautiful, remote location to be in the mountains and still have shelter, this is your place. My friends and I stayed here in June ‘23 to get away from the city. The house has everything you need - tons of sleeping areas, kitchen utensils, and a very clean bath house. It has a sense of nostalgia in its presence, like going to summer camp as a kid. The host/property manager were wonderful and great communicators! There were maps of the surrounding areas with local trails and things to do as well, fire pit/firewood available for use and filled water jugs right next to it. They really thought of everything. I absolutely will be returning to this space in the future it was so lovely and relaxing. The road to get there is a bit tricky so definitely would recommend a vehicle that sits higher up. Our Subaru made it fine but anything lower would’ve been tricky. Overall, amazing amazing amazing stay!! You won’t regret booking this!

About the host

Hosted by Jo Reese

I'm from Buena Vista, CO, a small mountain town, on the Continental Divide, at 8000 ft. I rent out my personal ranch, Cottonwood Spirit Ranch, through this site, offering 15 acres, w/multiple creeks & ponds,& lots of wildlife. We also host weddings & special events.

I also own Goddard Ranch, a one-a-kind ranch that sits on over 100 acres. It's surrounded by miles & miles of public forest lands, surrounded by high mountains. (Our country has over 86 % public land.) We enjoy the breathtaking views, elk, deer, moose and, of course, vast areas of unspoiled terrain.

In addition to my Colorado rentals, I have an amazing 3 story beach home in Santa Rosa Beach, "Copa Cabana". This house is also listed on this site.

For fun, I travel a lot, hiking, biking & camping. I also love to ride ATVs, motorcycles or Jeeps. This works out great for me to rent my properties while I'm doing fun stuff.

Why they chose this property

This amazing 2 story home is set in a beautiful valley, east of Buena Vista. Enjoy the majestic Collegiate Peaks from every balcony. You'll see spectacular stars, sunsets & sunrises, & possibly some amazing wildlife. We have just about any Rocky Mountain animal you could imagine, including elk & moose. The main home is solar-powered. We offer 50" TV (with cable), Refrigerator, Internet, Instapot, electric tea kettle & more. The outdoor cooking area, with grill, Coleman stove & prep table, is protected from the elements. We have sinks, plenty of solar power for lights, cell phone chargers, Bluetooth speakers & more. There's ample hot water, 2 toilets, 2 showers, 3 extra-large sinks & changing areas. The shower room can be used as a sauna. There's also a recently tuned up antique piano. If there's anything else you need, we'll help you out. Your job is to have as much fun as possible.
