About The Land Of Make+Believe
The Land of Make+Believe is a retreat space bringing magical realism to our nonfiction world... Located at the base of the Sierra Foothills in Murphys, California, we are fourteen acres perched on the edge of time. Our landscape straddles geologic formations that span millions of years across the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras. The marbleized limestone outcropping is a prominent site feature that's culturally, geologically, and historically significant. It was used as a communal grinding rock — Chaw'se — by the Miwok to process acorns into meal for food. This same rock formation was later hydraulically mined for gold in the second half of the 19th century, amidst some of the largest mining operations during the California Gold Rush. Downtown Murphys, our local gold-mining town turned quaint wine country destination, is just 1.5 miles away. Our site manifests as a spiritual epicenter within the larger landscape, a gateway to the Sierras, a space of regeneration. Fourteen acres of pure possibility for gathering, for staying, for inspiration, for joy.

My husband and I loved staying at Anita’s camper! It’s located at the end of a long driveway, near the house but far enough away to be private. From the outside, fairy lights made the entrance identifiable and cozy. Inside, the camper was comfortable and filled with thoughtful details, like a firm king size bed and blackout curtains. It also came standard with a stove, shower, and composting toilet, all of which worked without any problems while we were there. The property is minutes away from downtown Murphy’s, which is filled with restaurants, tasting rooms, and locally owned shops. If y…
We arrived at the Land Of Make+Believe gates that opened to spacious views of rolling lands. We had attended many a venue at Murphy's and driven past this land never knowing this treasure was there. Tucked off the highway far enough to not hear traffic and close enough to be in Murphy's in just a few minutes. When we arrived we were delighted at the updated vintage camper with all the amenities needed to freshen up and head into town for dinner. The camper was decorated with a vintage boho style that made it homey and stylish. After dinner, we returned to the camper site and spent some time g…
It’s pretty much a place to park on the edge of the driveway next to their house. It’s close to Murphys however which is why we chose it.
We spent a night there so we could be close to a concert at Ironstone Amphitheater. Great location for that purpose! The property was great and Anita was a great host. It was a bit tight fit getting our 33.5’ travel trailer backed into the site, but doable. All in all, it’s a great spot. And my wife loves Anita’s pot-bellied pig. Highly recommend.
Anita met us on arrival and showed us where to park. Beautiful property very close to Murphys and Ironstone Vineyard. She got right back to me when I had questions about local dining options and the wi fi password. I highly recommend her property.
Anita’s land was so peaceful. She helped us navigate into the spot. We were greeted by the sounds of cows. We loved sitting outside and watching the birds under the oak trees.
