Our homestead property is 15 acres with trees and open pasture raising traditional farmstead animals in sheep, chickens, and ducks, and growing produce and flower gardens! You will be surrounded by sounds of the farm while being near local attractions, dining, and shopping. Property is conveniently located near Loveland, Johnstown, Berthoud, Fort Collins, and Greeley. Less than 15 minutes from The Ranch events center (and Blue Arena) 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. Other attractions within driving distance such as Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Lake Loveland, and Boyd Lake State Park provide many opportunities for fishing, hiking, kayaking, and more! No pets are allowed due to the farm animal surroundings and inside maintenance of the tent and site. Feel free to reach out to us for special requests regarding pets and we will let you know!Welcome to our farm glampsite! This was our first official hosting creation, and definitely still a fan favorite! Our friends talked us into it after trying for years to get us started, and we finally agreed. We hope you like it! 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! Glamping canvas tent site set up with everything you need for a relaxing getaway! Camp and glamp in a comfortable well-maintained homestead farm setting on a raised deck with beautiful views. Peaceful sunrises in the morning, sounds and surroundings of a family farm during the day, photo-worthy sunsets in the evening, stars at night. Enjoy a private outhouse, fire pit, picnic area with grill, and patio seating in peaceful surroundings. (NOTE: Some older pictures show a nearby pond, which is no longer in service. There is a low-level irrigation water creek that is in service from late Spring through Summer about 20 yards from the tent.) PLEASE NOTE that free range chickens and farm cats may come around, so if you plan to prepare food outdoors then you will want to pay attention so that you're not sharing with them on accident! Owner/resident lives onsite in a home close to the tent area, about 40-50 yards away. Tent area has separate access and a privacy fence. Located about 45 minutes from Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, and 10 minutes from many local shopping and dining options. We are working toward regenerative agriculture. You will see chickens, cows, ducks, sheep, pigs, and cats all doing their farm work alongside wildlife birds and other sounds of a farm. The tent is beautifully arranged for 2 guests, with a queen size bed, plates, utensils, and cookware for two. Please contact us if you have any questions about staying with children or extra guests as we may be able to accommodate special requests. There is road noise about a 1/4 mile away, mostly during the day and some at night, so if you want something really secluded, you will find better options out there. Most of our guests have said they were not bothered by that noise, but everyone is different. Feel free to browse reviews as well. Thanks for considering a stay with us! ******* SEASONAL NOTES: Average high/low temperatures (degrees Fahrenheit): January 44/16 February 44/17 March 57/27 April 62/34 May 68/42 June 84/53 July 88/59 August 86/56 September 79/48 October 64/35 November 52/24 December 42/16 The temperatures and weather conditions can vary greatly throughout the year. Please plan accordingly and see notes below for seasonal tips. WINTER: 1.) Drinking water is provided year-round, whether in a cooler or at the outhouse. You may bring extra water with you if you wish. 2.) The wood stove keeps the tent warm; here are some resources to help make your stay comfortable: Wood Stove Getting Started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yYPz2xuyHc More wood stove Details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5aWst8M_Pk Keeping Warm Overnight: https://mffire.com/wood-stove-101-how-to-build-a-fire-that-lasts-all-night/ SPRING: 1.) May/June/July are the most likely times for conditions with thunderstorms, wind, and rain/hail. Guests have stayed safe and dry, and you may see reviews for their comments. 2.) Moth season is usually May/June and lasts a few weeks. They are not harmful, but they can get nestled into crevices and surprise us at times. We try to help by providing moth traps and bug zapper lights. SUMMER: 1.) We provide a small battery-powered fan for the hotter days. 2.) The daylight is long, the sunrises and sunsets are long and beautiful. AUTUMN/FALL: 1.) Many people think this is the most captivating season for camping. As with Spring, the weather varies greatly, so prepared accordingly. 2.) Autumn tends to be calm, and snow can come as early as October or November. We have wood available for the wood stove as needed. *******

HONEST REVIEW

My husband and I booked this campsite for just one night while visiting Denver, and the only unfortunate thing is we wish we could have stayed here longer!! First of all, the entire place is well-kept, it’s pretty clean, there were a few wonderful and thoughtful touches like free firewood for us to use, drinkable water, dishes, outpost in pristine condition. On top of that Joshua has been super responsive and accommodating, and even let us check-out an hour later since we arrived super late the first day. In the morning, as many other reviewers pointed out, there was definitely a lot of commotion like wild birds chirping, neighborhood kids playing, that could have kept up us awake BUT after reading the reviews, we brought EAR PLUGS and a SLEEPING MASK, and had the best sleep ever, fresh air, cool breeze, warm bed, ahhh. At around 10am once we woke up, we noticed a few chickens outside our tent and a sweet little kitty cat, this was honestly the cherry on top, because all of the animals were super friendly and all they wanted was a bit of love! We had breakfast, shared a little bit of it with our new companions and were on our way back home. The place was so so beautiful and we hope one day we can be back. If you are someone who doesn’t love animals and who wants to be somewhere super remote, this place is not for you, for everyone else, this place is lovely! 😊

A wonderful cozy get-away!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The directions were easy to follow and the location felt like we were comfortably far away enough from the highway. The tent is comfortable and warm - it rained the entire evening and we didn't feel a drop while inside. We particularly enjoyed the wood-burning stove, which was easy to use and provided the cozy 'shelter from the storm' sensation we were looking for. Being able to use it as a flat-top stove for warming up dinner was an excellent amenity. Overall, nothing but positive things to say about this stay!

BEST GLAMSITE EVER!!!!

This was the best place to have a wonderful and peaceful getaway! i have never felt more comfortable and was never bored by the amount of animals that accompany you through your stay! We had the pleasure of hanging out with Arnold and his family of kittens and it was cuteness overload! there are also plenty of places near by like Carter Lake and Estes Park :) I chose this place as a surprise for my partners birthday and we had a blast it was hard for us to leave such a beautiful scenic place with such cuddly cats. 10/10 would come back again! and 110% remember this place! they provide almost everything for you so your trip will be a breeze! Thank you so much to the family who hosted us💕

A Horrible Day!

Only true animal lover should go!! It was overwhelming dealing with both cats and chickens. While I was trying to cook dinner, the cats and chickens swarmed around, stealing food ingredients, and then, while I was sleeping, the cats acted like it was their home, sneeking into the tent and sleeping next to me. They even casually jumped onto the bed I was sleeping in. It was the worst day. I couldn't eat properly or sleep well becuase I was constantly worried about the cats & chickens.

What a winner! Great spot. Beautiful old trees, grassy yard, fire pit, hammock/ a big canvas tent w/ deck and comfy chairs. Great bed/bedding. All cooking essentials are available for your meals. Quiet & private w/ an occasional visit from a free range chicken or two. Owners were available for any Q’s/issues. Lovely sunsets looking towards mountains and valley. I’ll be back! Thanks Joshua & Molly.
