*Warning! The hike to the Deep Creek Hot Springs is fairly steep and can be difficult for some people, especially in warm weather, so everyone’s physical fitness needs to be considered when deciding to hike to the hot springs with pets, children, elderly people, or out-of-shape/over-weight people in your group. Even though Deep Creek has never had any known cases of amoeba outbreaks, be advised that the warm waters around hot springs can carry a sometimes fatal amoeba.
*Although children are permitted at most sites on the property (children are not permitted at the cabin or spring pool sites), we do not recommend bringing them due to occasional nudity that may be seen in the area and the degree of difficulty for the hike. In order to be prepared with the correct gear to make the hike to the hot springs and know the USFS rules that apply to the area, please educate yourself before coming by visiting the USFS website page for the Deep Creek area. Know before you go!
The Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground is part of the historic Bowen Ranch property that was homesteaded in 1924 and has been the camping and parking area for the Deep Creek Hot Springs for nearly a century.

Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise!
Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings).
Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park.
We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

Great stay! It was very affordable but still felt luxe and modern. The whole place has a tranquil, Shangri-La vibe with Buddha decor. I loved the desert heat, and there were so many opportunities to bathe and shower.
At night, the hammock was amazing for stargazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything anyone could want (minus a microwave), and there's a really nice fire pit outside. We were lucky enough to find some leftover firewood from previous guests and had a blast. Everything was spotless and comfy.
The host was amazing—super sweet, made check-in a breeze, and gave us a ton of local tips. They let us know Uber Eats delivers to the site, gave us a forewarning about snakes in the shadows, and even hooked us up with a promo code ("Big Mike") for a local sushi place!
The only heads-up I'd give is that the site can be a little hard to find, and the kitchen exhaust fan hangs a bit low (even for someone 5'6"). Otherwise, I couldn't recommend it more!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land
We were blown away by this entire property. So inspiring! Really creatively designed spaces, beautifully adorned, spotlessly clean, and well built. The property is huge and sprawling so there’s plenty of privacy if you want it.
The platform on top of the hill has a stunning view - beautiful place to hang out. Great jacuzzi too! another glamorous perk I hadn’t expected.
The king bed was gloriously comfy, and waking up to the huge view of the valley was magical.
Not sure how long this place has been here, but everything felt brand new.
Ludo the host was awesome. Super friendly, generous, and a very endearing accent =)

3 nights at Sacred Owl Land
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The drive up to the location is beautiful and secluded. You are at the top of a hill, so the panoramic view is stunning. We stayed in a cabana, and it was small but did the job. Your view is breathtaking as you're tucked in the woods without other guests in sight.
I will say it felt odd to be exposed at night, with large windows without curtains, but that is the magic of the place. The cabana does get hot since it's largely made of big windows, so if you're not a fan of heat, a callout.
The hosts were welcoming and gave us a tour of the grounds.

Weekend Trip to Wackalulu's Wonderland
I don’t even want to share how amazing this place is because I want to be able to book it again. However, Wakalulu is all about openness and connection. The hosts are amazing and show you everything you need or might want then flutter off into what I can only imagine is a castle in the woods for they are too magical to live like mere mortals. This place is curated and the pictures do not begin to do it justice. My only regret is we only stayed 2 nights. You need at least three to soak up the magic. We will be back.

This site has a restorative rustic romance to it that was perfect for myself and my young child. We had everything we needed and deeply enjoyed the whimsy and beauty of this well maintained and cared for site.
BBF was a perfect landing place for us with a lot of magic for children including sheep, chickens, and enclosed safe areas that kept a wild feeling but were close enough to camp that I was not fearful of him getting hurt or lost - so it allowed me to rest more as a parent.
The farm is beautiful and obviously cared for with a lot of delicate love and respect for the land.

3 nights at Sacred Owl Land
We thoroughly enjoyed the Sky View Cabana for a 3 night girl’s trip. The land is beautiful, with unbelievable views and a peaceful atmosphere. Both Vanessa and Ludo were warm, gracious hosts who were very responsive whenever we had a question. Both Santa Cruz and Monterey are easy day trips from this location, and it’s also incredibly grounding and relaxing so you may not want to leave! The king sized loft bed was very comfortable. Perhaps the only feedback is maybe to add a screen on the small window above the bed because that is the only airflow into the space and is nice to leave open overnight.

Weekend Trip to Joyful Heart
It’s easy to understand why Malaina has all the high ratings she does.
The cabin was beautiful, comfortable, gave a great deal of privacy & the patio lights gave a great ambiance during the evening time. It’s also in a great location only 15 minutes away from historical towns of Colombia & Sonoroa.
The cabin was thoughtfully laid out with a mirror, board games, a headlamp for night time bathroom visits and easy access from the room to the large bathtub. The bed was so comfy and was great to sleep on after a long hike in Yosemite.
The kitchen setup was simple yet had just about everything we needed. It was also covered in shade due to the large oak tree and tarp keeping it cooler during the morning. Utensils, cutting board, pots/pans, large plates+small bowls, & a dual burner stove with a propane tank+a hand torch to light it. She even provided a cooler with ice & checked in to ask if we needed more and when she could drop it off to not invade our privacy.
The bathtub & outdoor shower were fantastic during our stay (mid July with highs into the 90s). The tub could be filled with hot or cold water to be used as a hot tub or as a pool (which is what we did). The shower was only hot water but it was a nice way to heat up after the cool pool. The handle for the shower is on the higher side so I did have to stretch a bit to reach it, but I am only 5’4.
We did have cellular connection so it was very easy to reach Malaina if there was anything we needed. 10/10 would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at camp trinidad! While we didn’t have time to enjoy all of their wonderful amenities (including a community hot tub, store and personal fire pits) we really appreciated the ocean view from our room and the comfortable bed after a long day of travel and activities. The cabin was also stocked with essential items to elevate our glamping experience. We will absolutely be back

2 nights at Meadow camping in Bolinas
We stayed in the Quail "Rustic Camp Shed". The setup is definitely rustic, but cute and comfortable. The mattress is firm, so bring a foam pad if you prefer soft. Don't forget to bring your own pillows as well. There was only one on the bed (We had our own, so maybe there are more if you ask). The cooking, showers, and bathrooms are covered but outside so bring plenty of warm clothes as it will be colder than you think on the coast. The camp host was very friendly and the location is fantastic. Close to hiking, rock climbing, and beautiful beaches.

2 nights at Stargazer Cabin
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Stargazer Cabin. It was quiet and very relaxing. The cabin had great amenities for the price including a jet tub, hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, shower. The only thing was that there were no curtains/ blinds on any of the windows and although there is a perimeter fence around the property blocking it from view from neighbors it still made me feel a bit vulnerable, especially in the bathroom. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Cute little cabin with friendly hosts and great views. Everything was very clean. We used the grill that was provided for us which made cooking really easy. We also had a chance to check out the yoga studio which was gorgeous and calming. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was well kept and had great calming views.
Be aware that the property has poison ivy - we had to be careful and I would recommend bringing boots and high socks. At the time of our visit, the shower water heater wasn't working which the hosts were informed about. It wasn't a big deal for us and hopefully will be fixed for future guests.
