Weekend Trip to Star Ranch

Such a lovely spot. Rustic meets comfort. Everything has been subtlety thought into detail. It is very welcoming and a cozy nature experience. 5min to the mini town near by, where I definitely recommend the breakfast at the Salvadoran restaurant. Definitely a very good hipcamp spot, and definitely will go back. It’s also very private, we had the dogs off leash the whole time (it is not fence so make sure your dogs are trained to follow that part). Surrounded by beautiful hikes at a pretty short drive. Anyways super positive experience. Also Osman and his dad are very nice hosts, good vibe, very communicative and non invasive. Thank you and see you soon!

Weekend Trip to Star Ranch

The host is incredibly responsive and friendly, and he did a great job of accommodating our needs and schedule changes. The site is wonderful for camping and is quite secluded. We brought our small 14 foot teardrop trailer and had a peaceful evening. The outdoor sink, toilet and hot water on demand shower works perfectly, and the A-frame cabins are nice shelters. We did not sleep in them, but the big one looked well appointed. The outdoor kitchen has great cover from the wind and there is a very nice picnic table for dining. We would definitely stay here again!

Super cool secluded spot with a unique A frame with comfortable bedding. There is a super clean restroom available with a full flush system, trash cans and solar lights. It got windy but it was super quiet inside the A frame. The host Osman was also super responsive and very welcoming. Great stay.

I loved this little place. It has everything you need and was such a beautiful getaway. Ken was very communicative - he gave excellent directions and recommendations.

3 nights at Get Lost Inn - Cabin Rentals

We had an amazing visit! The cabin was beautiful, easy to find, well furnished, and close to Lake Arrowhead. There was plenty of space and many games for the kids to stay entertained at the cabin. Nestled in the woods, quiet, starry nights. LOTS of stairs inside and outside. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Granite Mountain

Absolutely loved our stay at Eagle's Nest Mountain Cabin hosted by Ken! This charming tiny home/glamping crossover provided the perfect blend of romance, privacy, and cozy ambiance. The unique compostable toilet was a fun and eco-friendly touch, and the outdoor shower offered a completely unmatched vibe. Cooking and enjoying meals surrounded by nature was exactly what we needed to decompress and unwind. We also explored the nearby Temecula Olive Oil Company, just 10 minutes away, and hiked the scenic Dripping Springs Trail, only 15 minutes from the cabin. Ken was a fantastic host, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy some peace and quiet!

This place is beautifully tucked away in the rocks. The tiny house is perfectly appointed with EVERY detail attended to. From the tiny sink to the compost toilet and everything solar and off grid, it's just so fantastic!

Weekend Trip to Solstice Farms

This was a perfect overnighter! We needed a night out of the city and this was great. So relaxing! We stayed in the streamline and it’s so cute!! We fed the goats and chickens with Asher and the girls loved it. There is a pickle ball court, a playground, hammocks, animals, and citrus trees with fresh fruit!

Weekend Trip to Granite Mountain

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night, and it was absolutely perfect! Everything was clean and well-prepared when we arrived, and the site had everything we needed for cooking, including a great outdoor setup. The atmosphere was magical, with twinkling lights over the table that made everything feel so romantic. The fire pit was the perfect touch for a chilly night. But the best part was the view. Being able to sleep looking at the stars thanks to the large windows and then waking up to such a breathtaking scene was truly unforgettable. Ken was also a fantastic host. Super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We have been raving about this please to our friends and families and we can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Spectacular A-Frame. Epic views!!

I enjoyed the sunrise over the lake from the deck, the comfy bed, the the warming stove in the family room and the beautiful views. Also the completely fenced in backyard so I didn’t have to worry about my dog. Very friendly and responsive host.

Rocking chairs on the deck, super comfy bed with an electric blanket, hot outdoor shower, propane fire pit, camp stove, and a picnic table surrounded by trees. Great place to get away to!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful and Ken was a great host.

2 nights at Granite Mountain

Adorable cabin set off the road and felt very private. Perfectly secluded and romantic if you want to stay in, but in the middle of many spots to explore including an incredible metal sculpture garden. Loved the overall rustic, off-grid vibe. There is a very friendly farm cat that loved to come around breakfast and dinner too.

We have decided to share this land with conscious folks who want to retreat to the woods from the hustle and bustle but be close to all the action and have all the creature comforts of home with a camping vibe. We have one private site with a glamorous A Frame cabin and a modern tiny home and a tiny retro trailer. The site comes as one single package and is exclusive to you and your group!
