Nearby Adventures

One of my favorite local spots is 11 Mile Canyon, just a short drive from the property. I visit almost daily with my dog, Rio — it’s perfect for hiking, fishing, and exploring with dogs. The views over the river valley and canyon are breathtaking and showcase the region’s natural beauty.

For a refreshing summer adventure, Guffey Cove (Paradise Falls) is only 25 minutes away. This stunning natural swimming hole features clear water, rock jumping, and scenic hiking trails — a perfect spot to cool off and enjoy Colorado’s outdoors.

Right beside the property are the Florissant Fossil Beds, a wonderful place to explore. Walking among the massive petrified stumps, you can imagine what Florissant looked like long ago when towering redwood trees thrived here. You can even find fossil right here on the property! The Fossil Beds are also within a certified Dark Sky area, so whether you’re relaxing by the fire pit or taking an evening stroll, the night skies are absolutely breathtaking. It’s a magical experience for astronomy lovers or anyone who enjoys the wonder of a pristine night sky.

Important Notes About the Property

This is an active, working property where I — along with my dog, Rio — am often onsite tending the land and pursuing our vision of a sustainable and regenerative farm. Our work focuses on native plant species, native grass restoration, and supporting pollinators, especially birds.

During the high season (May–September), we may also host a small number of glampers or RV guests elsewhere on the acreage. While the house itself always remains fully private for your stay, you may notice some activity on other parts of the property. Many guests find that this adds to the character of the experience and offers a unique connection to the land.
