Take a trip back in time by staying in one of our covered wagons, one of the most iconic of all western accommodations. Based on authentic 19th century designs, these luxury wagons sleep up to six guests. Encounter the natural beauty of the Rio Grande River as it snakes along the Silver Thread Byway. Relax under the stars while still enjoying access to a private bathroom and comforts of home. From the first  breath of mountain air, to the dancing flames of your fire pit, it is truly an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Our covered wagons are tucked away among the trees to allow your imagination to wander and experience what life must have been like in simpler times.

The Big Meadows Wagon and Treasure Falls wagon are each equipped with a queen-sized bed and one set of bunk beds.  The wagon boasts a full bathroom, a smart TV, mini-fridge, microwave, and a Keurig. You’ll also have a small table with chairs. Your adventure awaits year-round, as these wagons are climate controlled with heating & air conditioning. Each space also includes its own picnic table and charcoal grill. 

The Last Chance Mine Wagon is equipped with a queen-sized bed and two sets of bunk beds.  The wagon boasts a full bathroom, a smart TV, mini-fridge, microwave, and a Keurig. Your adventure awaits year-round, as these wagons are climate controlled with heating & air conditioning. Each space also includes its own picnic table and charcoal grill. 

Each wagon also has its own fire ring with four adirondack chairs, perfect for campfires, s’mores and storytelling under the vast Colorado skies.
