Tucked up close to Pikes Peak in all her glory! No one else around you! 100%  Nature.  You, STARS, deer, elk, eagles. Sleep in the cabin or under the stars in your tent. Your choice. Where is this? Convenient from Denver and Colorado Springs. Approx 50 miles (75 min) from I-25 and Hwy 24 in Colorado Springs. Approx 30 miles from Mueller State Park. South of Florissant National Fossil Beds and NE of Canon City.  Details: 100+ acres of private land that borders BLM so hundreds of additional acres available with amazing views of the west side of Pikes Peak. **I've been a HipCamp host for years, but I took a break to care for family so there's a brief time gap in reviews. Voted a Top HipCamp Colorado Site in 2018.** Cabin: Sleeps 5. Small hunting cabin that can sleep two in twin beds down stairs, 3 twin beds upstairs, couch opens to a sleeper if more beds are needed. Carry in your own water and propane for camping stove. No well; no power. Total "primitive" cabin; you have a roof, windows, wood stove, cookware and tableware, simple yet clean cabin, counter tops and cook stove available. Owner will communicate with you to make sure this is a good fit before owner accepts the reservation. Allow time for that in the reservation process.    On Holiday Weekends, only three day reservations will be accepted. Bring your food, water, fuel for the camper stove,  paper products, and camera and leave with a full heart and great time in the mountains! **NO DOGS ALLOWED**Most private adventure tucked up close to Pikes Peak in all her glory! No one else around you! 100%  Nature.  You, stars, deer, elk, eagles (yes, they have a nest on the property).... alone!   Sleep in the cabin or under the stars in your tent. Your choice. Where is this? South of Florissant National Fossil Beds and NE of Canon City.  On the back side of Pikes Peak and above the Arkansas River is where three county boundaries meet, Teller, Park, and Fremont. Remote. Quiet. Cripple Creek and the west side of Pikes Peak nearby, star filled nights, ponderosa pine trees surrounding you. Maybe you've escaped Denver or Colorado Springs to hike near Cripple Creek. Or maybe you want to explore the Florissant Fossil Beds (30 min east) or climb Mount Piscah. Have you planned a get-away to the Royal Gorge, Guffey Gorge, float or fish the Arkansas River (40 min west)? Or do you want time to yourself for spiritual renewal, thinking, writing, sleeping? Set up your tent on a canyon ridge or rent the small cabin in a valley.  Details: 140 acres of private land  Cabin: Sleeps 5+.

Just extraordinary
Keli’s cabin is amazing. It’s perfect for glamping and enjoying nature away from everybody. We wanted to be in peace for a couple of days so we decided to give it a shot even with the bad weather but it was definitely worth it. It depends on what kind of phone do you use and what kind of phone service but ours was working pretty well for making a phone call and enjoying youtube decently. Road to get there is kinda tricky but we pulled thru. If you have a better car for offroad it might be even easier. Keli’s gonna give you exact directions and she’s gonna make sure you feel comfortable with the conditions. She is an amazing host and she makes sure you enjoy your stay so you don’t have to worry about that part! Because of her we’re looking forward to exploring a lot of other places!!!

Wonderful Family Adventure
We loved our time here. Our kids from 6 months old to 13 years old played, explored, covered themselves in dirt, watched beautiful clouds and stars, spotted bunnies, found bones, and had experiences they won’t forget . Some thought I was crazy to wish for ten days without electricity or water but I am so happy we did it. We didn’t miss our phones and by around 5 days had begun to forget the stresses of work and life. Truly a transformative break. While we did leave the cabin for outside adventures our favorite times were spent there. The air smells fragrant like pine and sage. The sound is silent many times except for the breeze. The days are hot but never wishing for air conditioning and the nights were cool. What is nice about this place compared to other options I was considering is how remote it is (in a good way - it’s your temporary own piece of wilderness). Also the host is wonderful, helpful, and shared in our excitement and happiness at our experiences.

Great experience!
We had a wonderful time in Keli's cabin! It is an excellent option for those who want more comfort than sleeping in a tent but don't mind the lack of amenities. I was happy to have the option to sleep in a tent outside while my kids slept in the cabin. Best of all was having a huge piece of beautiful land to ourselves - hiking and camping in Colorado is getting more and more crowded so that felt quite luxurious! Keli was extremely helpful and communicative in terms of preparing us for the stay and also giving us tips while we were there, including even coaching me through a hike when we got lost for a little bit :).

Appreciated!!!
Keli was most helpful with all concerning a positive stay! The drive into the cabin is amazingly beautiful and private, wild flowers abound. The cabin itself is a nice clean but somewhat primitive structure, which serves well for cooking and sleeping from the elements. The land is beautiful and at the top of the drive the view is amazing and also where cell service is best! We really enjoyed the space, privacy and nighthawks feeding at sunset.
