Other Info: 
Springtime in the Rockies can be fickle.  That said, Paonia temperatures in May generally range from the upper 60’s (plus Colorado sunshine) down to low 30’s overnight.  Be sure to check the forecast before you come and bring plenty of layers! 

We’ll have the Dance Tent for Dances and there’s lovely Pavilion near our kitchen for potluck & camp/community provided meals and other gatherings (PRO TIP: Bring 2 chairs if you can- one for the tent and one for the pavilion).

For all lodging/camping other than the House: Sage View offers a Sunroom with a lovely sitting area with comfy chairs, WiFi, coffee, tea, drinking water, HOT showers by donation, and more!  They have exceptionally nice porta-potties and a  solar powered shower in nature with amazing views! 

Our communal outdoor kitchen has all the cooking and cleaning basics. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PLATE and/or BOWL and an ice chest. To keep your cool, town isn’t far and there’s always someone to make an ice run.

Calm dogs are welcome ON LEASH HELD BY OWNER AT ALL TIMES. No dogs allowed in onsite lodging – except for the busses.
