Sandee was so welcoming, and the hipcamp was very easy to find with the location she provided. The house is very cool with an amazing view of the stars around midnight/1am. I could see the Milky Way!! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic! Cleanest porta-potty I've ever seen. So many thoughtful details like lights marking the tent boundaries, a heater and fire extinguisher inside, and even extra bedding. The path and tents are clearly marked, making them easy to find.

Absolutely beautiful piece of country!! We loved our stay, especially Fred, the feline mayor of Shiloh Ranch. The place has the vibe of grandma's house, with a well-appointed kitchen and plenty of the basics along with lightning fast internet.

Sandee is an amazing host! She stopped by when I arrived to show me around the cabin. She was so warm and welcoming. The place had everything I could need, and then some! This would be a perfect place to bring my family.
In the morning I took Sandee’s recommendation and drove through Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Parks, which was an amazing experience after a very restful night at Shiloh Ranch.

The Casita was just right for our two couples to spend two nights as a jumping off spot for exploring the Painted Desert / Petrified Forest National Park. The two separated areas were nice for privacy, with shared kitchen downstairs and shared lounging space upstairs. Bonus: The night sky here is amazing! And Sandee is such a friendly host.

This is an amazing space. Sandee is a wonderful host and the house had everything we needed for a simple, quiet get away. We made good use of the fire pit and balcony to look at the stars. We will definitely be visiting again.

We loved staying on Sandee’s land….the cabin is small but had everything we needed especially in the kitchen!! The kitchen and shower are a tight squeeze but honestly it was all clean and wonderful! She had so many things in the kitchen that we didn’t need to unload our kitchen camping tote at all!
My parents stayed in the downstairs part and myself and three children stayed upstairs which was the perfect amount of space for us all! My kids highlight was the VHS player and assortment of VHS tapes (we had been tent camping with no electronics for over a week)
The land is beautiful and tucked pretty far away from a close big town so the sky was beautiful at night and barely any light pollution! There is small fragments of petrified wood alll over the land and it was fun to look around and walk the property
She had a wonderful top deck and a patio space with a very nice fire pit and grill on the ground level that we enjoyed each night and morning!
We will definitely be visiting again and staying in one of Sandee’s cabins again !
We had a quick 15-20min drive to Petrified National park
