The Best of Colorado Glamping | Vogue
"A former banker turned glamping resort owner and operator, Nabil Saweeres set out to create a special place where friends, families, and solo travelers could get the ultimate camping experience. After years of planning, he opened up Black Tree Resort in Lake George in June 2019. After making the two-hour drive from Denver, you’ll be greeted by Saweeres himself at check-in, along with your very own golf cart (your main mode of transportation around the 80-acre property). Each tent has been carefully designed with sustainability and comfort in mind: the lighting is solar power, and wood-burning stoves supply heat. While you get settled at your tent and kick your feet up on the porch with a glass of wine, Saweeres is personally cooking dinner. (Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and non-alcoholic drinks are included in your stay.) At your desired dinner delivery time, the Black Tree staff will set up the meal in-tent. Afterwards, cozy up in an Adirondack chair by the firepit and roast a s’more or two. The beauty here is being off the grid: There is no cell reception and no wifi in the tents. You fall asleep to the sounds of the wind and wake up to the light of the sun pouring into your tent. During the day, the resort offers a wonderfully curated activity menu that includes horseback riding, fishing, guided hiking, and ATV rides through the forest." - Brooke Ely Danielson
