This Colorado Glamping Spot Gives You All the Comforts of a Luxury Hotel

You won’t expect to hear a tiny symphony of cricket chirps and soft wind-whispered pines in the same breath as the hiss of your morning espresso. Or see a canvas tent with a flaming fireplace glowing in a clearing at night, yet feel like you’re cocooned in high-end comfort. That’s the kind of pleasantly odd mashup that greets you off the beaten path in one part of Colorado.

By day, you’ll hear the soft crunch of pine needles underfoot, smell the damp earth mingling with fresh coffee, and see a forest-dappled light that shifts as clouds drift overhead. At night, the sky cracks open—stars so bright they feel like they’ve dropped closer to earth—and the crackle of a campfire adds its warmth and soundtrack. It’s not quite “wilderness survival,” and it’s not quite “boutique resort,” but somewhere in between—where you lean into nature without giving up modern ease.

That place? It’s called Black Tree Resort—a luxury glamping and cabin hideaway nestled in the forest near Lake George. You’ll sleep in upscale tents or cabins equipped with creature comforts (think cozy bedding, solar-powered touches, private bathrooms), and your days will be a blend of forest walks, fireside evenings, and relaxed escape from the everyday.

What We Love

Luxury Tents & Cozy Cabins
Your “tent” has real bedding, warm lighting, private baths, and solar-powered touches. The cabins lean a little more solid—still in nature, but sturdier and more homelike.

All-Inclusive-ish Meals
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are part of the deal (or at least heavily supported), so you’re not scrambling to find restaurants in the woods. That means more time wandering, relaxing, or just staring at trees.

Forest Immersion Without Sacrifice
You’re enveloped by pine, fir, and high-country hush, but with Wi-Fi in public areas, charging stations, and comfy patios. Nature doesn’t require you to rough it hard.

Bright Nights & Starry Skies
With minimal light pollution, the night is a show—Milky Way, constellations, meteor streaks. Add a firepit and you’ve got that classic “campfire, but make it luxe” feel.

Friendly, Low-Key Service
The staff feel more like wilderness hosts than hotel grandees—helpful, unpretentious, responsive if you want to hike or plan local outings. Guest reviews mention thoughtful touches and warm service.

Atmosphere & Setting

Black Tree’s layout threads through dense forest parcels, with tents and cabins spaced so you seldom see your neighbors (but never feel utterly isolated). Paths of pine-needle mulch lead from central gathering areas—firepit zone, dining pavilion—to private dwellings. In the daytime, sunlight filters through branches, casting patchy shadows; after dark, soft solar lanterns guide your steps. You’ll hear leaves rustle, distant birdcalls, and the faint bubbling of forest streams. The central lodge or communal area hums with low conversation, coffee clinks, and quiet music or nature sounds. It’s casual, unpolished in a deliberate way, and beautifully relaxed.

Value (Is It Worth It?)

Prices vary by season and unit type, but you’re paying for the blend: more comfort than backcountry camping, less formality than a full resort. Because meals are included or semi-included and many experiences are on-site, your “extras” budget tends to stay low. Most guests stay two or three nights—to soak in the forest, walk local trails, and decompress. It’s ideal for couples seeking escape, families wanting shared calm, or anyone tired of gridlock and screens. Compared to booking separate lodging, meals, and nature-adjacent activities, Black Tree often balances out nicely—not cheap in absolute terms, but solid for the immersive value it delivers.

Other Considerations

The property enforces a minimum check-in age (21 years old) to ensure peace and responsibility.
Dogs are welcome (with a refundable deposit), which is rare for luxe stays in forested areas.
There is no on-site parking—plan logistics accordingly (you’ll need to park off-property or work with staff).
Front desk hours are limited, and after-hours check-in isn’t available—make sure your arrival is timed properly.
Because you’re in forest country, weather swings, bugs, and trail conditions can matter—pack layers, insect repellent, and sturdy shoes.
The property is somewhat remote—no public transit or local shops within walking distance—so bring essentials and enjoy the seclusion.
Some units or paths may have subtle accessibility limitations, so check ahead if mobility is a concern.

If you’re after a place that whispers “forest retreat” but still lets you indulge in creature comforts, this one’s a win. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a place to pause, exhale, and let the trees remind you there’s another pace out there.
