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!

Weston Pass Hut

Weston Pass Hut is located on the first road that was built to bring people into Lake County and originally the road was a toll road.  The property was a mining claim and there are still some remnants of mining activity that occurred over a century ago.  A group of about six people and many volunteers spent six years building the hut.  It is completely off of the grid.  The beams used to construct the hut are from locally harvested trees and we milled them ourselves.  Many other materials are recycled or obtained with a priority placed on sustainability.  

The cabin is tucked away in the pine trees

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!
