Sage View Ranch

24 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents11 acres · Paonia, CO

After traveling the US in our motorhome for almost 5 years my husband Scott and I know the value of a smiling face and a helping hand after a day (or week) of travel. Exploring and experiencing this amazing country, its diversity and incredible people enhanced our lives in so many ways. In mid 2017 we found out our first grandchild was on the way. Long story short we parked the RV and parked ourselves here in Paonia, CO. In December of that year, we moved onto this amazing property full time and started the long list of fix ups (the list is still long). lol We are blessed to have our two adult sons and (aforementioned) grandson living on this property with us. Our philosophy is to live in the moment as the present is the gift. Whether enjoying a sunrise or a sunset or anytime in between you’ll likely find us outside most days. In that, we love all that nature has to offer including fresh fruits and veggies, animals, beauty and fragrances. Sage View Ranch is being created with the desire to have people experience the natural rustic beauty and magic of Paonia. Scott and I look forward to meeting you :)

Horse Mountain Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Palisade, CO

We invite you to stay at Horse Mountain Hideaway, a big rig friendly HipCamp located just one mile from beautiful downtown Palisade, CO, at the very east end of East Orchard Mesa. We live off grid on 10 acres, and you can enjoy the views looking down towards the valley, or up towards the Grand Mesa. As avid RVers ourselves, we wanted to offer self-contained BIG RIG friendly sites, out in the country, with very little road traffic and fabulous dark night skies to enjoy the stars. We are just half a mile to Talbott’s Farm Store / Talbott’s Tap Room. They often have live music events and food trucks on weekends, and you can enjoy a lovely walk or bicycle ride there. There are numerous fruit stands and wineries to the west on East Orchard Mesa, or go down to Palisade and enjoy the many events, farm stands, breweries, wineries and charming downtown area. Our site is a level, well graveled area, and is BIG RIG friendly! Back-in, with room for slide outs and back decks too. Our lane is a maintained private gravel road. This is a boondocking site, for self-contained RVs, with no hookups available. We can also accommodate travelers with horses for an additional fee, with corrals and a paddock to rest or exercise your animals. We are close to public BLM land should you choose to take a longer ride. The site is Pet friendly, but since we do have a small farm, we request that pets are leashed.

Tongue Creek Ranch

3 sites · Lodging70 acres · Austin, CO

Tongue Creek Ranch is beautifully situated at the base of the Adobe Buttes on the southern side of the Grand Mesa in Austin, Colorado. The 70-acre ranch has over 40 acres in hay and alfalfa with seasonal cattle grazing in the fall and winter months. Whether you come to stay at one of the rental properties, get married or host a special event, we welcome you to enjoy the beautiful setting of Tongue Creek Ranch and the incredible sites of the Western Slope! David and Barb Cocetti purchased the ranch in June 2019 to embark on a new life where they could cultivate the land and be more self-sustaining. By following Biblical guidelines for work and agriculture, this land has come to life! It is proving to be an oasis where people find peace while enjoying the serenity of the surroundings. The clamping Cabin sits behind the horse arena and in front of Tongue Creek. It's the cutest little cabin and we mean little, more like an expertly finished big shed. It is 10x14 with a 3x14 covered porch but finished inside like a 5 star hotel. AC, TV, Wifi, fireplace, comfortable queen size bed. Beetle kill tongue and groove ceiling, cultured barn wood wanes coating. It's super nice. The ranch itself may be the reason for the "glamp" booking. The yard is manicured and the 25 house, goats and chickens are fun to see. The big plus is we are only 20 minutes away from the Grand Mesa outdoorsman mecca. This is probably the cheapest base camp to the Mesa. The ranch is a great base camp to wineries, Moab, Telluride, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, fishing, boating, hiking, trails and hundreds of open BLM land for Razor riding. Check us out.
