And its story is as bold as its view: founder Gamal Jadue Zalaquett fell for the valley’s raw isolation and sky-high clarity, and decided the world needed a place where comfort, sustainability, and serious stargazing could coexist.
But the villas are the main event. The Stargazing Villa sleeps up to four, with a king bed, two twins, a private indoor jacuzzi, and a geodesic dome for telescope-toting stargazers.
The upcoming Galaxy Villa cranks it up: two master bedrooms, a loft, a kitchen, a meditation space, sauna and cold plunge, and a telescope deck that practically dares you not to nerd out over the constellations. Hempcrete walls make it eco-friendly, using a sustainable, breathable mix of hemp, lime and water that naturally regulates temperature and locks away carbon without making a fuss about it. And every corner is designed to feel effortlessly cool (spoiler alert, it succeeds).

Here, the night sky becomes the entertainment, guided astronomy sessions turn learning into play, and two telescopes per villa (including a high-tech digital one) make sure no celestial sighting is missed.
Combine that with Colorado’s crisp mountain air and a view that stretches to infinity, and you’ll never want to leave. Tbh, we’re right there with ya.
Why It Exists
Because the best room feature isn’t a minibar or pillow menu, it’s an entire Bortle Class 2 night sky.
The Vibe
Off-grid Colorado with a slight space-station complex.
Your Bed Tonight
A king bed inside a 1,200-square-foot Stargazing Villa, with a private indoor jacuzzi and your own dome built for staring upwards.
The Thing You’ll Brag About Later
Seeing the Milky Way from Colorado’s first DarkSky Approved Lodging property…through the telescope sitting in your villa.
Eat / Drink This
Forget the fancy cocktail. Make something hot, head outside and drink it under a sky dark enough to make you realise how few stars you normally see.
Steal This Local Move
Book an astronomer-led sky tour and learn what you’re actually looking at instead of confidently pointing at every bright object and calling it Venus.

Turns out the hottest new travel amenity isn't a rooftop bar. It's being able to see the Milky Way…
If you roll up at Honey Rock Landing in Colorado, you might initially wonder if you accidentally crashed a farmer’s day off but nope, you actually stepped into one of the coolest farm-orchard getaways ‘round.
Where rock ’n’ roll ghosts, rooftop martinis and mild delusions of celebrity collide.
