This is a great Hipcamp! First, the spot is great. You have a very large, private environment behind their house. Wendy has set up a lovely seating area, picnic area, and recreation area. You are near their barn, there is a large grassy area and a nice tree for shade. Wendy sent very clear instructions on YouTube that show how to access the property. While to have access to Phoenix and Scottsdale, you are in a quiet, more rural environment (although there is development going on all around them). The birds in the morning were delightfull! I would highly recommend for a short or long term stay in the area.

What a nice space to stay for a few days. Steve & Wendy were very accommodating, but also gave us our privacy. The neighbors have sheep that were fun to listen to. The Great Tailed Grackles serenaded us all day long. Our dogs had free run of the property as it is fully fenced. We didn't build a fire, but their fire pit area is outstanding. The location is close to Phoenix and Goodyear. We had the opportunity to walk several trails, and visit Goodyear Park, where our Guardians do their Spring Training.

My wife and I stayed at Wendy's Heart and Soil Ranch for a week and we enjoyed every day. She keeps the property clean and is really nice. We really loved that our dogs could run free on the acre of land that is fenced in and didn't have to worry about them taking off. I am new at the RV camping and my awning broke and was not sure on what to do. Wendy's husband was very kind and helped me take it and down and secured it for the tavel back home. Thank you for the help. We will be booking with them for sure when we go to Arizona to visit our grandkids. I recommend staying at this place, we loved it.
