Absolutely lovely location and a great host! Would highly recommend if you’re looking to be off grid and turn the brain off for a few days. There were horses, dogs, a few cats, even deer on the property. It was a magical experience. Thanks so much Sienna 🤍
Siena was super communicative and went out of her way to welcome me, provided great local rec’s and information. Her property was perfect to hang out and enjoy the nature. Loved it!!!
Amazing trailer site between an apple and cherry orchard and adjacent veggie garden, views of the woods, walking distance to Mad River fish hatchery swimming holes and a quick mtb ride to the Blue Lake / Hatchery Ridge trail system... Siena and her place are great, would love to visit again.
Siena was a great host! Easy breezy finding the place. Great location for my needs.
This is a place to stay, but not a resort by any means. The sites are off the beaten path just slightly which means it is a quiet, country atmosphere near a river and next to horses. It could be described as rustic. The outhouse is clean and earth friendly. Water is available at a spigot nearby and the host had filtered water waiting in the unit. The bed was quite comfortable. We were traveling fully self sufficient so this was a great place to land for a couple nights. The host checked in several times by text to make sure we were doing OK, which was quite nice.
Everything you want from a glamping sitch! Clean and organized and Siena thought of all the helpful details to make your quasi-camping tiny house stay easy and welcoming. Super responsive host and a perfect base camp for exploring the redwood state parks.
