Meadow Hot Springs Glamping Cabin

The Zella Hut is a cabin built in the late 1800's.  It was redone in the 70's and recently updated with mid century modern interiors.

Now it serves as a backcountry hut in the winter and glamping cabin in the summer.  

During the winter it can be accessed by skinning, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

During the summer it can be accessed by car.

Its a small cabin, but it can sleep 4 in comfort.

No Rv campers, van and sprinter rvs ok.

A Special Place in South Park

Your base camp for Gold Medal fishing at Spinney Mountain Reservoir, or just some relaxation and stargazing! Once a gargantuan ranch, this section of South Park has been subdivided into residential and recreational lots so more of us can enjoy the local beauty. This neck of the woods remains sparsely populated, assuring you of peace and privacy.

Learn more about this land:

Enjoy exclusive use of this six-acre spread which features trees, rock outcroppings, and absurd mountain views. Remote yet accessible by county road, the property is a few miles from Hartsel, where you'll find a general store and saloon, and the other historic railroad settlements of Park County. (Learn about the South Park National Heritage Area at southparkheritage.org.)

The property has flat (but not *quite* level) areas for easy tent setup and also gently sloping and wooded areas for exploring. All supplies (including water) must be packed in, and all waste packed out. I stashed a collapsible picnic table behind the big rock and you're welcome to use that, please just fold it and stash it again. There is a fire ring, please just check if there is in a burn ban in place. There are no structures at all on the property. Per Hipcamp and local zoning, you may not relieve yourself outdoors; you must be in a vehicle or privacy tent.

If you see some expensively outfitted motorcyclists cruise by, they're from the Rawhyde Training Camp up the road so give them a wave!

Rustic Glamorous Artist's Cabin

The first time I saw this beautiful heavily wooded 12-acre property, I immediately put in an offer.  That was 18 years ago.  I spent the next 11 years chasing corporate goals which I finally realized were inconsistent with my soul.  I started a family and decided to sell this property.  I brought my then 2 year old daughter here so she could see it once before I sold it.   As we drove up highway 285 through vistas each more stunning than the last, I was moved to tears by the beauty.  By the time we reached the property, I knew that we would be moving back here.  Nearly 3 years later, we finally moved back with 3 dogs and 2 cats in tow.  We love it here and truly belong in this place we call home.  Part of the former Ute tribe summer hunting area, and backing to the Pike National Forest and Lost Creek Wilderness;  this fascinating area is both beautiful and full of things to do.  Fresh clean mountain air. No people. Get away to the quiet beauty of your private wooded cabin. Enjoy a campfire, amazing mountain views, and killer hiking right out your cabin door. Spend an amazing night with millions of stars overhead. Recharge your soul in silent mountain peace. A rare opportunity to stay tucked in private woods and steps from 1000s of acres of national forest. Featuring dual heaters, sleeping loft, outdoor cooking area, solar, and indoor camp toilet facilities, this is luxury glampingSpend an unforgettable night watching millions of stars in the crisp clean mountain air.  Feel yourself relax and recharge as you enjoy the woods and the stunning mountain views. The cabin is furnished with many of the pieces from the Lost Creek Cabin Studio and features solar electricity and indoor camp toilet facilities. Fresh water is provided. The artist's retreat is a luxury glamping cabin.As long as there is no fire ban, you are welcome to enjoy a campfire in the outdoor fireplace.  We require guests to diligently tend their fire and completely extinguish the campfire when guests are not near.  There is firewood to gather on the property and we have firewood for purchase as well.  We do not allow guests to bring in firewood as the area has begun to see invasive species of insects and we do not want to contribute to this potentially devastating situation. 

Complete with a sofa, a number of chairs, a tent and a firepit, this place has it all!

Glen Isle Resort

(If you book with us, please don’t follow your GPS if it tries to make you turn at the Coney Island hot dog stand. Glen Isle is .5 miles past the hot dog stand.)

Due to the ongoing issues with forest fires in our area and insurance issues at this time, we will no longer have open wood-burning fires. Propane fires are permitted if you have a portable campfire ring, please feel free to bring your own. We do have a couple available for rent onsite. 

For your safety and ours: absolutely no check in/arrival after dark sets in; Around 5:15pm during winter months. 7:30pm summer

There are many reasons why you would want to camp at Glen Isle Resort! 
Glen Isle is located in Bailey, Colorado which is the perfect vacation spot for friends, family, reunions, or a private get away.

Glen Isle was originally built for an escape from hectic Denver. Once you cross the bridge into the resort, you’ll understand why it has served as a peaceful getaway for over a century. The Platte River welcomes you and divides the property from Highway 285. If you love to fish, you have a mile of the river to use at your disposal. If hiking is your forte and you desire to explore nature, Glen Isle is surrounded by the National Forest,
Lost Creek Wilderness, Payne Gulch Trailhead, the Colorado Trail
and many private acres for you to explore.

You will find history narrates the Native American’s story where Glen Isle was once used as an Indian encampment, and numerous trees still stand today that were culturally modified to mark sacred treasures. If you seek tranquility, you will find hummingbirds and chipmunks always seeking an audience to entertain. 

Starting June 1st, we will offer evening activities, and campers are welcome to come to the lodge, shop in our gift shop.

We also have snacks for purchase, and popcorn for our guests to enjoy. 

(Glorious Glen Isle was unoccupied for six years. 
We are in the process of renovating hundred year old
cabins, and the 8,000 square foot lodge. 
Our camping areas have a river setting, glorious valley views, and a private setting surrounded by the National Forest. 
However, there is renovation and construction going on around some areas of
the property. 
Additionally, as you can see from the map and read in a few reviews, we are just on the other side of
the beautiful Platte River from Highway 285. 
 About 75% of our guests are not bothered by the busyness 
of the this highway but others can be more sensitive to the noise. 
We want Glen-Isle campers to enjoy their experience as much as possible, so if you would like
more information, please do not hesitate to ask. 
Our goal is to share the property with others, and to
have the "happiest" campers in Colorado!)

Glen Isle Resort was opened in 1901, by five original investors. 
In 1923, the property was bought by the Baldwin's and in the 1940's it was given to the Baldwin's granddaughter,
Barbara and her husband
Gordon Tripp. 
The Tripp family owned and operated the resort until Barbara's death in November 2012. 

Mary Ruth grew up coming to Glen Isle Resort as a child in the 1970's. 
Her favorite memories are the chuckwagon dinners, horseback riding, evening dances, movie nights, and the endless activities that never grew old. 
Mary Ruth grew up, married Greg, and they started bringing their five boys to Glen Isle Resort. 

Mary Ruth and Greg were both professionals in education, and visited Glen Isle in the summer of 2016 after an Adele concert. 
They found their beloved Glen
Isle was being sold.

After much consideration, they found the idea of not pursuing a dream to be more terrifying than looking back and wondering "why" they didn't...so they began the magical
journey to purchase, restore, and bring historical Glen Isle back to life. 

Highway 285 borders the river with cars and trucks constantly going by but the rushing water drowns out the traffic noise.

Our campsite down by the river facing a gorgeous, rugged rock face.

As if this place wasn't already perfect, it also has horses!
