Sage View Ranch - Camping, Lodging & Weddings - Paonia, Colorado

Anabelle Bolson

Last May my husband and I stayed at their super cute cottage, equipped with all we needed in the full size kitchen. The view was breathtaking, the hosts Laurie and Scott are the best. We loved every bit of our stay, we had fresh eggs and I hanged out with the goats, we visited the town which is walking distance, and drove Gunnison Mountain. We can't wait to go back and stay at other of their accommodations, like the school bus or the tiki.
El pasado mes de mayo, mi esposo y yo estuvimos en el cottage super lindo y equipado con todo lo que necesitábamos para cocinar. Los anfitriones Laurie y Scott son espectaculares, Disfrutamos mucho de todo, las vista a las montañas, huevos frescos, las cabras, el pueblo que está a muy cerca, las montañas de Gunnison. Ya estamos planeando nuestro próximo viaje y queremos esperimentar con otra de sus comodidades como el autobús escolar o la casa tipo tiki. Altamente recomendable!

Wonderful, beautiful place. We stayed after our Black Canyon adventure on our Colorado road trip. I wish I had the chance to explore the place/area longer. Owners are salt of the earth people. Lori was so kind with my 9 year old who wanted to chat her ear off. They made sure we were comfortable in "The Studio". We loved the animals and the highlight for me was the outdoor shower. What an invigorating, natural experience! Oh and the stars ?

Sage View was the most perfect wedding venue and Laurie and Scott are amazing to work with! We picked Sage View because we wanted a wedding venue where we could spend time with our friends and family all weekend and have people stay on site. We hosted a BBQ on Friday night with about 50 people in attendance and on Saturday had a wedding with about 65 guests. A larger or smaller wedding would still be great there. It rained a lot the day of the wedding (beautiful and sunny the whole week before and after!) and Laurie and Scott started serving hot drinks from their cantina (in addition to the beer/wine we had planned) and brought out an outdoor space heater for the pavilion. The venue is also gorgeous and all of the lodgings (houses, busses, etc) were well stocked and great to stay in. Definitely would recommend Sage View for a wedding or as a place to visit/stay while in Paonia!

Me and my fiancé had a wonderful time at Sage View Ranch! The cottage was so comfortable and it felt like we weren't even away from home. Laurie and Scott were super nice and such great hosts! They even allowed us to meet their cute nubian goats. Definitely recommend!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming tipi! The location was perfect for our weekend getaway, nestled in the tranquil countryside yet still conveniently close to town. The tipi itself was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed, with cozy furnishings that made us feel right at home.

The highlight for us was definitely the views and serenity of the property. Waking up to the sight of rolling hills and lush greenery was truly magical.

The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, providing thoughtful touches, like meeting (and milking one of the goats) and feeding the chickens. Communication was seamless, and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had.

Overall, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect retreat. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, already planning our next visit to this delightful oasis. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene escape in the Colorado mountain countryside!

We got married here last fall and it was absolutely perfect. Sage view is truly a magical place and you can't help but feel happy when you're there. Scott and Laurie are the best and make you feel right at home. Their hospitality and friendliness are unmatched. The love they have put into the grounds really shows in all the little details all over the ranch. Sage view was exactly what we wanted for our wedding - a relaxed, quaint haven with many fun camping and lodging options for our guests to stay and with the most beautiful mountain backdrop. Apricot trees, goats, cozy fire pit, just all of it. And their love labyrinth for the ceremony was perfect. This is such a special place that we will cherish forever! We have already gone back to stay and plan to return many more times in the future! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We loved our stay at Sage View. We camped here on May 26 during a long weekend camping trip and it felt like vacation, especially after our other camp sites. Laurie and Scott were incredibly kind and welcoming, and we learned so much from them! (We especially had fun hanging out with the goats the next morning and taking them for a walk!) The walk up to our campsite (Thyme) was just a few minutes from where we parked our car and we brought our things up in two trips. The view from our tent, nestled among the sage and juniper, was more than worth the short walk for anyone hesitant that your car is not right next to your site. There’s an outdoor kitchen where you can use your grills and camping stuff, but we just used the communal bbq. The outhouses were some of the nicest and cleanest I’ve encountered to date, and if you don’t want to use the outdoor shower (it uses solar to heat) you can Venmo to use the shower inside the main cottage’s sunroom. (You can also pop into the sunroom during certain hours and get a few necessities with Venmo, and we ended up doing that in the morning for coffee!). The eating area is covered and has nice new picnic tables and there’s lots of places to sit and relax around the property. Such a great atmosphere, and such warm, welcoming hosts. We’ll be back for sure!

Five Star ~ Platinum Level ~ Wilding Retreat
If you are looking for a place to DIY your body mind to natural rhythm and infuse dignity into your being, Sage View Ranch, situated on the same meridian as Chaco Canyon, is a rare find. Deep, dark night skies and high altitude sun rise & sun sets calibrate the gazer. Rocky Mountain water flows through the property, lingering in the ponds & soothing anyone who notices. Scott & Laurie maintain a balance of chaos and structure on a highly dynamic property. Plenty of places to lay on the ground, a rock field for rolling around on, trees to snuggle into, mud baths & strategically placed bus seats for a more refined encounter with the spirits of Sage View. A great place to go deep. DIY, with a little help from friends at Sage View. Platinum.
