We loved the camper and seclusion for the dogs! They had so much fun playing and we loved the ease of access to the beach, trees of mystery and town for breakfast.

Weekend Trip to Ganjier Campus

The cabins were super clean and cozy, completely surrounded by trees and tons of sun. I thought it was really cool that they run fully on solar power but still have electricity and wifi so you really do get the best of both worlds. The hosts were so kind and they even left snacks in the cabin, which was so sweet. Bathrooms and showers were impressively spotless and fully functional too. The entrance road is a little rough, but once you’re in, it’s so pretty, peaceful and serene, you won’t even mind the ride up. P.S. I had no clue what a “Ganjier” was when I booked, did a quick Google later and was a little surprised, given I had my younger sister with me lol.

Weekend Trip to Redwood River Retreat

We had an amazing stay! The location is perfect—just a short drive to Redwood National Park, yet peaceful and quiet. The trailer was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were even the very first guests to stay in it, which made it feel extra special. Cortney and Hiram are wonderful hosts—so kind, welcoming, and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
