About Sustainable Ecovillage
The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise! Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings). Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park. We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

my wife and i stayed with our two dogs and everything was great! such a unique experience and also very enjoyable. recommend it highly!
An experience that should be had by all. Dan was a gracious host with a spirit full of peace. He was helpful and willing to go far above and beyond to accommodate myself and my 2 young children when we encountered issues during our trip. His kindness and calm energy was easily absorbed and we left with renewed faith that there is still some folks out there with coo8ouh luulylgrbemmmee xexmpassion and brotherly love. A must see for those who have a desire to learn about, or passion for a sustainable lifestyle. Hats off to you and your vision Dan. A word of advise. FOLLOW DAN'S DIRECTIONS …
I used the provided directions to get to the site, but was greeted by an endless dirt road up a beautiful mountain. I never found the camp site. Didn't have cell service signal. Had to backtrack an hour to get signal and find a gas station. Had to sleep in my car instead. Host was stern in his reply about it being my fault I couldn't find the site location.
Staying in the greenhouse was EPIC!! Highly recommend. Gorgeous plants, nice couch, exercise area, sink, and bedroom included, + hammocks. Only thing I would say is because the doors were open and the ambiguous layout of the camp, and we had some visitors as we were leaving in the morning, probably assuming it was open to just look around. The drive in is pretty long through the mountains, make sure to have AWD/4WD and arrive with light. Very unique and special adventure 😇
Definitely need 4 wheel drive for this one but it was a nice stay!
