Amazing stay on a real homestead!
My 3 old son and I had an amazing stay for three nights at Mile High Mountain Homestead. Iâll start withâŚ. trust the directions they give you and donât overthink it!. SecondâŚ. ABSOLUTELY BOOK THIS SITE! You will not regret it. The Hosts are literally two of the best people Iâve ever met. They met us at the site and were very warm and friendly. The tent site we stayed at was perfectly level with a great fire pit to sit around and a picnic table. Plenty of shade and tress to pitch your tent in and hang your hammock. We were directly next to the lake, and although the the water was a bit low we still had a great time throwing rocks in the water (my 3 yr old boyâs favorite activity). There was a huge pile of wood next to the site that the hosts had placed there for use, and the fire pit was already prepped and ready to light. They have an amazing outdoor kitchen/ seating area/wood fired hot tubâŚ. It looks like itâs out of a movie itâs so well built! The hot outdoor shower there is reason enough to come back. The loo with a view is literally just that and it was kept immaculately clean. If you are at all into the idea of having a homestead I highly encourage you to check this site out because itâs a fully functioning homestead and the hosts are extremely knowledgeable. Also the offer homestead pizza which is literally one of the best pizzaâs Iâve ever had. I canât say enough about how awesome the hosts are and how perfect the site is. Truly an experience of a lifetime.

A true slice of heaven!
The only downside is that we only had one night to spend here!! This is an absolute slice of heaven and Iâm so grateful to have been able to experience it with my husband and two kids. The road up is rough but just lean in and enjoy the experience (but make sure your empty your bladder before you embark đ) my kids loved it and called it a rollercoaster. It was bumpy but never made me nervous. Highly recommend if Rebecca is offering anything she makes- get it! Her pizza was out of this world and I left with a goodie bag of shampoo bars, jams, cheese, lip balms, and ointment- what more could you need? The outdoor bathroom was MUCH nicer than many indoor ones. Iâm already plotting how we can get up there for longer next summer! Thank you Becky and Dave!!!!!!

Unfortunately we couldnât reach the site. Thereâs no service in the area (which we were told about before hand), and based on written directions we ended up on what we think may have been someone elseâs property. Our car was then surrounded and kicked repeatedly by about 7 horses (very friendly horses, but it was definitely startling.) We then got our car stuck on a steep hillside, which was also decently terrifying. Iâm sure that the homestead is great and the surrounding area we did get to see was absolutely beautiful, but to our knowledge there was no warning in the description about just how difficult the site was to get to. You really need a pickup truck or an all terrain vehicle with four wheel drive to get here, and our minivan (which is no slouch for rough driving) definitely took an extreme beating on the roads leading into camp. We were not offered a refund, either, and had to get another hotel for the night. All things considered we were disappointed to have such a negative experience with such a well rated place. If you book a site here just make sure your vehicle can handle it, theyâre not kidding when they say the homestead is remote!

Jenna and I hesitated at first. Having found ourselves in less than desirable conditions in the past, making the decision to move forward took some thought and discussion. Ultimately, we made the right choice. Our gracious hosts were a breath of fresh mountain air. Our Accommodations exceeded all expectations. We plan to return and would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Worth the trek up!
Since we stayed twice, I am going to write this review and I'll have my husband write the second.
We have been trying to get to the Western side of the state a little more for our boys can get a little bit of the mountains in their prairie raised souls.
What Becky and Dave have going on is what Hipcamping should be. The hard work they are dedicating to their property is just absolutely remarkable.
So calm, so peaceful. Plenty of shade. Beautiful views.
The trek up there and back down is something to write home about. There were many times on the way up that we weren't sure if we could make it. But we did, and I'm thankful for it.
Thank you Becky and Dave for sharing a little slice of your life with us, and your wonderful hospitality. If we are out this way again, we will book again! Maybe with a higher lifted trailer though! Haha
