Thimble Rock Point, located in the heart of the Unaweep Canyon. If you listen close this sacred ground still echoes footsteps of the past. At first glance it is raw and rugged, a place where wildlife still roam free and skies stretch beyond the horizon. But it is also a place of calm. Here the natural world dominates in every direction. The property consists of 25 private acres. Within that area we currently offer (2) exclusive lodging experiences. Thimble Rock Point & Tabeguache Camp.
Getting there: Located just Southwest of Grand Junction. If you're traveling by car, Colorado state highways are well maintained year-round. Even so, we encourage travelers to check road conditions (CDOT) in advance for possible delays or closures. Snow plows are quick to respond to winter storms. However from November thru March all wheel drive or 4wd is required to access the A-frame.
The closest Airport is in Grand Junction, CO. Grand Junction Regional Airport, just 37 miles away. Another option guests continue to find low fares is Montrose Regional Airport
What is Thimble Rock? Thimble Rock is a 1200' monolith that rises from the canyon floor (that's the equivalent height of the Empire State building). It is the star of the show and you can't miss this behemoth with views from the A-frame, aka Thimble Rock Point. Composed mostly of granite this enormous out cropping is the most impressive monolith in the Unaweep Canyon.
Our space was built for the traveler who seeks more than shelter but an experience, the magic at Thimble Rock will evoke feelings of nostalgia, romance and the yearning to explore. Here you will be surrounded by public lands. The area offers a host of nearby activities with accommodations designed for multi-day stays. There is ample parking adjacent to the A-frame and enough room for full size vehicles to park and turn around. Trailers are NOT allowed. My interaction with guests is schedule dependent. However I typically make myself scarce unless I'm needed. In which case I do my best to always be available by phone. In addition to the resources found on our site you will find a house manual at the onsite for specific operations or instructions.
As you might have guessed the neighborhood is quite rural. But within our fences you'll find well mark roads. Each will lead to its respective lodging site. You can expect to see others on these roads, but your privacy is important, we have intentionally designed there to be distance between every site.
Whitewater is home to this vacation home. Unaweep Canyon and Colorado National Monument reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Mesa County Fairgrounds and John McConnell Math and Science Center.
