46mi from Dorris · 4 sites · Tents

Willow is a stage-four cancer thriver and moved up to Mt. Shasta with her two adult children to pursue her path of spirituality, holistic health, organic diet and plant medicine protocols. Everything on this land supports health, vitality and harmony. We are located on 5 acres of woodland sanctuary just 15 minutes north of downtown Mt. Shasta. The property is quiet, serene, tranquil with an amazing view of the "heart" side of Mt. Shasta. There may even be an opportunity to join Willow on the sunrise deck for morning breath work, chanting and meditation. We also often facilitate New and Full moon ceremonies with cocoa, drumming, sound healing. There are many projects emerging such as gardens, sacred nooks and in the future, a yoga shala. All proceeds from hipcampers go to the development of this Mt. Shasta retreat and supports Willow's healing journey. No alcohol permitted on the property.

**Only for those who are okay with a rough and rugged drive for an Alaskan style retreat only 25 miles from the Market Of Choice in Ashland, OR** Cedar Springs Village is ever improving and expanding as a gathering place and Natural Movement training facility/playground. Tended by host and MovNat Lvl2 certified fitness trainer. There are also family activities such as a toddler friendly bike pump track, small sandbox, tire swing, well used trails and roads to hike or mountain bike around the property. There is a growing communal outdoor kitchen with a standard four burner stovetop and oven. Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the mountains. Pitch a tent in one of the numerous locations on this secluded and diverse 120 acres. Here you will be amongst a thick forest of cedar, pine and fir; oak groves, rolling hills, babbling creeks, spring-fed ponds, meadows and spectacular views of majestic Mt. Shasta. If you are a plant enthusiast, bird-watcher or nature lover, or even a rockhound, this area will be a dream come true. The terrain is hilly but old logging roads provide nice hiking paths along with hundreds of animal paths for the able bodied. Near the owners cabin and main camp area there is an outdoor kitchen, tapped spring to collect water, fire pit and a compost outhouse. It is important to note that there is no poison oak or poison ivy around the area. It is a wonderful place to really explore. Just 15.4 miles east of Ashland on highway 66 then 9 miles on a slow dirt road.  The drive is absolutely part of the experience, slow down and enjoy the views. As you drive up hwy 66 the views of the valley below are absolutely incredible, then you come to the dirt road. This is a very slow drive due to the condition of the road, it is part of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and poorly maintained. **Important** The last section of road to get to this pristine and secluded forest location is a 9 mile dirt road with bumps, rocks, and a many washouts that bring you to a near stand still. 4 wheel drive is strongly recommended. Low clearance cars not recommended.

Exceeded all expectations for my husband and I! After a 10 day roadtrip, having a beautiful, CLEAN, curated space that met all the glamping needs was to say the least, wonderful! Not to mention the comfy bed, amazing self check in, coffee and tea, clean and beautiful restroom I could go on! 10/10 !!

We loved staying at the cabin! It’s super nice, clean and modern and the loft bed was really cool. The bathroom is a half-minute walk from the cabin, super close, clean and updated looking. Cara is very sweet, responsive and helpful. The property felt very safe and peaceful. We’d definitely come back!

The cabin was comfortable and the loft serene. We slept like babes and enjoyed the double rainbow in the sky. The outdoor seating area was pleasant and the lighting outside was a nice touch. The compost toilet worked well. My wife liked the bathhouse. We hope to return.

This is such a great stop on the way to SF from Portland! Hands down much more enjoyable and authentic than staying in a cheesy hotel off the interstate. The cabin was very well done with lots of cute touches, an incredible view to enjoy sunset and sunrise, and welcoming dogs on top of it all! Also, the bathhouse might be my favorite hipcamp bathhouse yet. Highly recommend one night or more if you’re staying in Ashland or just stopping on your way through to somewhere else.

Beautiful views. The stars at night were an awesome bonus. Cute little cabin get away with some friendly sheep close by. Just what my little family needed. The cabin was cozy. And thank the Gods for the AC unit. It was a hot stay, but that kept us comfortable. We enjoyed the crickets at night, and heard some coyote near by. Our first morning we were greeted by a sweet doe munching on her breakfast. The outside seating area was a nice place to relax and play some games together. The fire pit is an added bonus for night time relaxing.

Lovely spot. Everything working. Rustic but comfortable, functional and well presented. Everything clean and in good working order. Enjoyed our brief stay; hope to be back again for longer. AC was also a nice luxury.

What an amazing little space. Cara is great and the little touches throughout make it feel very homey. We saw a fox family which was an added plus. Thank you for a relaxing and needed stay.

This adorable cabin was just what our family needed! Cara has added many thoughtful details, including everything we needed for coffee in the mornings and cold beverages waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. She had made up the futon as bed before we checked in so that everything was ready for the four of us to stay. The bath house is a short walk from the cabin and is thoughfully detailed. Hipcampers should note that this stay is a little on the rustic side (cabin reached by short path going up hill), but also extremely clean, cute as a button, and the hosts responds within minutes to any question or request.

Blessed in its entirety! From the ease and kindness in communication, to the most authentic and welcoming host!

My time spent here is forever imprinted into my cells, my heart and will continue to bring a smile and joy to me with every new step on my journey!

Weekend Trip to Howling Acres Ranch

Howling Acres Ranch was the retreat we needed to start our honeymoon. Cara’s property is tucked in a quaint little town with plenty to do locally, yet preserves a feeling of seclusion with beautiful views. Along with the expected accommodations, there was more than we needed: extra blankets, towels (which we forgot to pack), a single electric burner, a French press, coffee grounds, an electric kettle, and mugs. During the day we found ourselves lounging on the spacious and comfortable futon on the ground level. At night we exited through the sliding glass doors which open up to the outdoor patio area. This space was perfect for an evening outside, as there was a gas fire pit and string lights overhead. Within eyesight of the cabin is the bathroom area, comprised of a compost toilet, a sink, and a shower. The space was clean and well maintained. Cara was friendly and responsive through out our stay. And there was even a friendly dog to greet us when we arrived. The property was easy to find and instructions were clear. All in all we highly recommend booking this spot. Wether you are a traveler looking for a place to lay your head, or a local looking for an evening of glamping, this spot will meet your needs. Our honeymoon wouldn’t have been the same without it.
