At Camp Catori we specialize in allowing you to reconnect with yourself and believe that wellness combines mental, physical, emotional, spiritual well-being and fun. We provide an off-grid retreat experience for our guests, and a chance to reconnect with nature and find inner peace. Our 6-acre property offers stunning mountain views of the Mt. Blanca range and access to various outdoor activities, including fishing, paddleboarding, and hiking. We are conveniently located 30 minutes from the Great Sand Dunes NP, Zapata Falls, and aim to provide a secluded space to relax and rejuvenate. Here, guests can feel the sacred energy of the land, surrounded by the healing properties of sage and quartz. We invite you to come and explore our grounds, and reconnect with your higher self. We are 100% off-grid. There is no well or septic system. For running water we provide 6 (5) gallon jugs to fill nearby and the tank under the sink for $1 per container. The tank holds 35 gallons. It’s easy and has plenty of water when used conservatively. The shower uses 1.75 gallons per minute so make it fast if you decide to shower. DO NOT allow the tank to fall below 1/4 as it will break the water pump thus creating a very expensive repair. You’ll be able to see the water line to monitor usage. The composting toilet is easy to use. All parties must watch a 2-minute video and agree to use it properly. You must monitor the urine bucket and discard it accordingly. Liquid in the composting bin or using or placing paper or products where it is not allowed will result in a $150 cleaning fee. If you are not willing to discard a bucket of your own urine in a designated spot by the cabin this place is not for you. The primary loft has a comfortable queen-size bed, 4 pillows, and a comforter. The second loft has two twin beds placed together to create a queen-size but can be taken apart. There are also 4 pillows and one queen-size comforter. The sofa is a pull-out that can sleep another small person (5’10 or shorter). Like camping, you must bring your own sheets or sleeping bags. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, a Wonderoven, a classic Nespresso machine, a French press, an Italian press, a Tramontina all-in-one pan with steamer grate (great for cooking fish), a medium-sized Dutch oven for the stove (soups, sauces), griddle, utensils, knives, plates, and cooking and grilling utensils. We have a propane stove and outdoor grill. We have an eat-in kitchen for 2, a table outside that seats 6 to 7 people as well as a 2-person outdoor ledge looking out at the mountains. An internet hotspot is available for $10 per day via Solis. We also use our mobile phone hotspot which usually does the trick for both laptop work and watching TV. NOTE: From November through May, the cabin is dry with no running water due to freezing temperatures. GROUP CAMPING OR A RETREAT? In addition to the cabin we also have 3 generously sized cleared camping spots each with gorgeous mountain views making it a great option for group camping (4x4 vehicle required to access) or to host a retreat. Contact me, Catori to inquire at 720-474-0779.Our modern off-grid tiny home is the perfect place to relax and unwind, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Privacy is yours among our secluded 6 acres. The Louie Lodge includes two generous-sized lofts, a kitchen, a bathroom with a stand-in shower, a composting toilet, and little creature comforts – including a wood-burning stove and fireplace in the main loft. Each loft is furnished with a comfortable queen-sized bed.. The cozy living area boasts a pull-out sofa bed that sleeps two additional smaller guests 5'10 or shorter at no extra cost. Enjoy grilling out and watching the weather come in on our generous 12x16-foot deck while taking in the gorgeous mountain views. This is a 100% off-grid unit so water is limited but easily replenished. Just close enough to get to the town of Fort Garland quickly for any forgotten essentials but big enough to wander freely the 6-acre site. The Louie Lodge retreat is perfect for couples, families, and friends who want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with the natural world. Sorry, the stay does not include our sweet pup Louie 💕 *** Please note that in the winter months, the shower and sinks are not operational due to freezing temperatures in the pipes. The drainage pipes are operational once the tiny home is heated up. (You can pour water/liquids down the sinks). For longer stays (4+ days) where temperatures can be managed indoors, water pipes can be fully functional.

Views for Days

We had a wonderful time at Louie Lodge. It’s situated in a private area with plenty of space to roam and views for days! The tiny house itself is gorgeous, clean and well thought out. Anyone would be proud to have this place as a getaway! Thank you so much for sharing it with others!

The Louie Lodge

The Louie Lodge was the perfect home base to explore the Great Sand Dunes and the whole area. The view is amazing, beds were comfy, it was decorated so cute and felt very welcoming and homey. Catori was a very responsive and communicative host. Our family loved our stay and we hope to return again.

The Louie Lodge

We loved our stay here! The views are beautiful and relaxing. The deck space is really well done to enjoy it all. The home has everything you could possibly need. The only thing I would note is if you plan to bring food to make, the fridge might be off when you arrive so just pack your cooler accordingly (which I already had so not an issue). Can't wait to come back in the future!

A cozy little spot! The creature comforts were a great way to break up exploring the Great Sand Dunes and the view of the mountains was incredible.
