New Sky’s bones are those of an old settler’s homestead in the San Luis Valley that dates back to the early 1900’s. Nestled up against the Rio Grande National Forest, it is a high mountain desert oasis that holds the original dance hall of the county and a whole lot of history. New Sky Ranch is a wild, wild place. We are not only off grid, but also nestled in a large natural caldera (meaning a volcano that has collapsed on itself) and are right next to national forest. This means that we can experience all 4 seasons in a single day - having extreme winds and rain in one moment, and clear summer skies the next! We invite you to not only be prepared for this, but to lean into the experience as this unique high alpine environment can be one of the most inspiring and epic places on earth. We are currently fixing up what is already on the property for an eco-experiential retreat as well as a space for like minded artists to take refuge and create magic on the land. We currently have our workshop and studio space up and running as well as the first of several livable structures completed - an 100 year old rehabbed miners cabin using Hempcrete and other natural materials, complete with a communal outdoor kitchen. We also have begun hosting our first artist/maker residents who are using the shop space and land to bring their own creations to life. Over time, we have dreams of permaculture farming, eco building workshops, community collaboration, and the ability to host gatherings – however, we are committed to taking it all one step at a time and allowing only what is meant to be to unfold. For now it is simply our home, a maker space for art and experimental eco building, a gathering spot for friends and a quiet Hipcamp spot.

Emerald Hill Tent @ New Sky Ranch

Stay here. Dog friendly and comfy.

We are going to come back. The stars were unreal. The views in the morning as the sun rose were stunning. The description and pictures don’t do it justice. We stayed in one of the glamping tents with two dogs and there was plenty of room and it was plenty comfortable. The communal kitchen had everything we needed and the fire pit (next to the kitchen) was in a beautiful grove of trees. Victor was so nice and helpful, too. We loved their dog, Rumi, who was so sweet, but had to ask for some space as our two dogs needed some space due to unique circumstances: victor helped and kept Rumi in their cabin (thank you, Victor). Thank you again!

Emerald Hill Tent @ New Sky Ranch

Gigi and Victor’s place is quiet, well thought out, and peaceful. The tent and plant form were sturdy, well built, and held up comfortably in the thunderstorm. We didn’t get the view of the stars, so we will be back!

Emerald Hill Tent @ New Sky Ranch

The Stars!!!!!!

Although I couldn’t make a fire at my tent location, soon after arrival evening time came, and one by one the star show started. No campfire needed. The dark sky out here is AMAZING! Complete awe with the stars. And it’s dead quiet, except for the occasional yips of the animal reserve next door. I was on a solo silent retreat and I felt very safe here. Shady Grove tent was in a perfect spot. The grove prevented being blinded and hot when morning came. Loved I can stand up in the tent. The platform bed a plus for the older set like me, but bring extra padding if your a side sleeper like me. I did and I had perfect sleep. I highly recommend a stay at New Sky Ranch, Shady Grove tent.🥰Thank you Gigi!

Emerald Hill Tent @ New Sky Ranch

The land was beautiful and the tent was cozy and clean. The host reached out in advance to ask about the best bed setup which was so nice, and the one double and two singles for the kids were all very comfortable, maybe the most comfortable beds we had the whole trip! The kids loved playing with the games in the trunk. We had a nice walk up the hill before bedtime, and the whole atmosphere of the space was inviting and peaceful. What a special stop on our journey exploring the state! We wish we could have stayed longer. The kids also made friends with the kitties and Rumi which they loved.
