Less than a mile to Mueller State Park, just over 3 miles to Trailhead of Pike's Peak, 5 miles to Horsethief Park Trailhead, short distance to Cripple Creek, and not far from many other popular locations in the area!Many new updates and modern off-grid features added to the treehouse for the 2024 season to make your stay more comparable to traditional-style living! Grab the keys to your favorite 4x4/All-Wheel Drive vehicle, and come enjoy getting off-grid while re-living your childhood fantasy of staying in an actual Treehouse! Come and enjoy the finer things in life when it comes to modern off-grid living. You may be off-grid, but you will not feel like it with how close you are to everything, and most service providers still have cell phone service at the Treehouse. Enjoy ALL the Colorado mountains and outdoors have to offer nearby, while being able to stay in a magical treehouse during your stay; which will give you never-ending memories for countless years to come. You will be COMFORTABLE and COZY in this treehouse with your king-size memory foam mattress bed to rest up after a long days’ worth of adventuring out in the mountains! You will have most of the normal accommodations you would expect from a typical house with all the advances of modern day off-grid amenities. There are detailed instructions given for those individuals who are not familiar with some of the modern off-grid living, so there is no need to worry over not being able to try this lifestyle out. You will be surprised at how normal things will seem in this treehouse with a few minimal changes to what you are accustomed to. If you are not familiar with daily modern off-grid living, then make sure to read and familiarize yourself with everything by the detailed instructions given to you before your arrival date. We are also available to meet you on-site upon arrival to give a brief orientation of everything you need to know for a worry-free stay. Enjoy the views from the wrap-around porch or the end of your bed, as most treehouses out there don’t offer mountain views and seclusion like this one does! This Treehouse was built to meet or exceed the structural specifications of a traditional home, so we didn’t harm any trees during the making. We only trimmed tree limbs, and did not connect any part of the treehouse to the actual trees, just incorporated the trees into the treehouse build and the trees were built around where the wrap-around porch is. Come and re-connect with nature and the mountains in this treehouse, while enjoying the modern advances of new off-grid technology, and book your stay today! Come for a truly unique experience you will not be able to obtain in many other traditional short-term rentals. *Please understand that the outdoor instant hot water shower is unavailable for use during the winter season due to freezing temperatures. No shower is available on-site during winter months. Also, the driveway will be plowed during winter months to allow vehicle access to and from parking area during your stay at the treehouse.*

Twisted Tree Tent-Campsite

The camp site was great, nice and secluded. A great way to spend a weekend getaway.

Alta Vista Mountain Tent-Campsite

Would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay overall and would definitely come back. The only thing I would suggest is to bring a collapsible wagon to haul stuff up the hill to the site. It’s walkable but tiring after a few trips up and down from the car 😊 It was also somewhat difficult to find in the dark. Would be helpful if instructions mentioned something like “driveway is just south of clearly marked sign for X.” Other than that, it was peaceful with beautiful views, plenty of firewood to collect, convenient to Manitou Springs/Colorado Springs. No signal at the base of the driveway but a slight signal at the actual campsite with AT&T.

Starlight Valley

Its a secluded area covered by trees that provided a good amount of shade. My wife and I liked the propane fire pit. Not sure if due to user error but it would shut off on us periodically but restarting was no issue at all. A small picnic table came in handy and there was a composting toilet that my wife appreciated a lot. The area was rocky which a bit difficult to dig in even my heavy duty stakes but held up fine. It is a private area secured by a gate. However only drawback for us was the site was close to the street. Maybe because of the Labor Day weekend it felt busy and heard cars, trucks and motorcycles thoughout the night. The moments of complete silence was very nice and the stars looked amazing. Even though it is a drive in site it is still and in-direct car access site. So for those wanting complete access to your vehicle its still a tiny hike up to the site moving gear etc. Those with roof top tents I could see having 2 areas, the parking/tent site and above a place to eat, hang out and have a bathroom.

Twisted Tree Tent-Campsite

I had a great time at this camping spot. It was really secluded and quiet. All the information I received was really helpful and made the stay super easy. There were beautiful trees everywhere and could see the stars clearly every night. The first 10 minutes of us arriving, we saw two huge bucks run across the trail from the campsite so was a great start. Would definitely recommend visiting this site.

Starlight Valley

Starlight Valley is Aptly Named

Beautiful secluded campsite nestled in a quiet valley with huge aspen and pine trees. A private secure entrance that does not require 4-wheel drive means no one will be crossing your site. Just a quick drive to Mueller State Park for hiking. Andrew was kind to quickly ready the site for us very last minute and made sure we had everything we needed. This site is well named as the night sky was full of bright stars.

Twisted Tree Tent-Campsite

Nice and quiet spot

Wonderful campsite with all accommodations available as listed. The path to get down and up from the site is definitely a bit of a workout if you have a decent amount of gear, but very doable. Would definitely camp here again sometime.
