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 :)

🐉🚍The Magic School Bus at Dragonsong Sanctuary
Off-Grid Skoolie Stay | Family-Friendly Mountain Bus on 40 Acres
Tucked into a peaceful juniper and pinion forest on 40 private acres in the Colorado mountains. Just 25 minutes from the Grand Mesa’s 500 square miles of wilderness and over 300 alpine lakes, this one-of-a-kind stay offers an unforgettable off-grid experience for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
You’ll be staying just steps away from hiking trails and wide-open skies perfect for stargazing, meteor showers, or simply unwinding. We are a family of five living on-site, and we’ve created this space to be kid-friendly, safe, and welcoming. Whether you’re looking for adventure or downtime, you’ll find both here.
Nearby Attractions:
• 10 minutes to Cedaredge: galleries, parks, live music, and amazing eats
• 25 minutes to Grand Mesa: fishing, kayaking, hiking, and paddleboarding
• 1 hour to the Black Canyon and local wineries in Paonia and Palisade
• Under 2 hours to hot springs, ski areas, and historic mountain towns
Dragonsong Sanctuary is a place of peace, presence, and connection. All guests are invited to embrace the magic of mountain life with respect and reverence.
Come stay, play, and reconnect—with nature, your loved ones, and yourself.

Lovely agrotourism camp with mountain views, sunroom with wifi, showers, outdoor kitchen, clean porta potties, eggs for sale, and in the summers Monday night live concerts with cantina. It's a good place to get to know the Paonia community. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, able to answer questions about sights to visits in the area. Interacting with the chickens and goats was a special treat! Great area for agrotourism, lots to see and do!

Lauri and Scott were fantastic hosts. We had a large group that required coordinating 3 sites. They were highly accommodating. All 3 sites were clean. All of us enjoyed our stay at Sage View Ranch!

I loved car camping here! While my stay wasn’t long, Laurie and Scott were so pleasant and welcoming. Despite being the only camper there, everything was extremely well kept and beautiful. Highly recommend.

I had a great stay despite the extreme cold that was going on while I was in Colorado. The views were breathtaking and I can't say enough about Hannah. She was extremely helpful, welcoming, and really made the stay that much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a home away from home with privacy and breathtaking views.
