A Magical Place

FLOOD In late January during the winter of 20’-21’ a massive rainstorm collided with the canyon, creating a flash flood of epic proportions.

Many things were lost, some were spared and many things were gained. INTENTION A minimalistic homestead practicing simple, eco-sustainable and environmentally friendly living techniques. Using mostly all natural and organic materials to build and maintain a home in the forest with family, friends and animals. A place to help people, help themselves. ENERGY Away from the grid with no wi-fi, cell service or electricity. Propane is used for heating and cooling, wood for fires and point-of-use solar lighting. All contributions are put back into the land and help to facilitate the nurturing and sharing of this sacred space.

Hartley Farms Organic Orchard

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents37 acres · San Miguel, CABarbara & Dan bought these 37 acres in 2005. It had no improvements. The only thing it had going for it was a 200-year-old oak tree, and its location in the heart of wine country. We would come up and camp under the tree, and plant. In 2007, we drilled a well. In 2008, Dan proposed under the tree, and we brought in power. We have continued to make improvements since. We built a little house, then we built a big house, we added farm animals, kids, fruit trees, a jam line, a pond, and more keep coming! So come up and enjoy the farm like we did in the good old days! See you at the Farm!Pitch your tent or park your RV on our 37-acre farm. The campground connects to a hiking trail that takes you to a 2-acre landscaped garden, or to our friendly goats & chickens. You are a short drive to local wineries, or downtown nightlife. No power, or showers here, but the outhouse is one of those fancy solar powered deals with running water and a flushing toilet. Add some farm fresh eggs from our chickens, or a jar of our organic jam, and cook up your breakfast, or head in to town for a fresh baked cinnamon roll.

With its Redwood forests and secluded atmosphere, Big Sur is made for a cabin getaway. Yes, this rugged expanse of the Central California coast is known for its dramatic ocean scenery (must-sees include the Bixby Creek Bridge and McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park), but when Highway 1 veers away from the Pacific and slightly inland to follow the Big Sur River, a stretch of cabin resorts and campgrounds are nestled in the woods, where you can relax and stay comfortable after a day of hiking in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park or tubing down the river. Most cabins are available year-round, and while it might be colder and wetter in winter, it’s not as hard to snag a reservation. If you do have trouble, check out cabins in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Carmel Valley, north of Big Sur.
