Formerly used as a horse property, we bought this property in 2016 and have renovated the barn and paddocks for llamas and alpacas. We have been collecting RV trailers for the last 10 years with the dream of having this kind of opportunity, and now it is becoming a reality! Now we have 16 animals that make for a fun getaway destination for campers. Stay with us in a "Glamping Trailer" or a "Comfy Sunroom" for the night while enjoying the One Thing Ranch experience with llamas and alpacas. Visit with our animals and take a ranch tour, or just get away from it all while you enjoy the beauty of the local area of Trinity County. Explore the nearby Shasta Trinity National Forest while staying in our ranch, or make us your launching pad for a backpacking trip to the Trinity Alps Wilderness...your first (or last?) "connection with civilization" and a hot shower and comfy bed for the night.

Alpen Cellars Winery was established on a family ranch in the spring of 1984; it is situated in a picturesque mountain valley at the foot of towering craggy peaks in the rugged Trinity Lake region of Trinity County, California.
Alpen Cellars is a family venture in which each of us take part in the long painstaking process of wine production. From pruning to harvest, crush to fermentation and bottling, we strive for fine wine and a connection to our customers.
It may seem like an unlikely location to grow wine grapes, but the combination of high elevation and favorable microclimate provide the ideal conditions for early maturing grapes.

When we retired 13 years ago, we discovered this lovely piece of Paradise in Miranda, located on the famous Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County. Six years ago, we remodeled the basement and created what we call the “Garden Apt”. We have nine apple trees, a cherry tree, a fig tree, and a Concord grape arbor. It’s a 1/4-mile walk into the town of Miranda, where you will find the Miranda Market and gas & electric stations (well-stocked), as well as The Avenue Cafe (loved the Big Foot fries). Next door to the Post Office is The Palace restaurant, famous for the best ribeye steaks in Northern California! The Chimney Tree cafe is 6 miles south of Miranda on The Avenue of the Giants, along the river. There is a lovely trail that leads to what we locals refer to as “The Grove”, which is a beautiful walk in the redwoods just across the road on the Avenue. You can drive to a parking spot to start a walk on this path as well. When viewing the pictures, I’m sure you saw a picture of our dogs, aka our “kids”. Mojo is the grey one, and Karma is the blonde one. We also have a black cat called Magic who would love to have coffee with you in the mornings. Other residents you may see or hear are wild turkeys, quail, squirrels, foxes, and you will hear our neighbor’s chickens and ducks as well. You may also hear some donkeys braying in the distance.

Beautiful redwood cabin
5 minute walk to beautiful Eel river to swim in the crystal clear pollution free mountain water, or fish from the beach. Great bike riding through redwoods for parents and kids alike!
Nestled right in the state park! Huge ancient redwood groves surround it yet the house itself is in a sunny spot. The 1 acre property offers 16 mature fruit trees, grapes, 10 roses, all kinds of flowers wild and cultivated. The garden also can be enjoyed from a covered outdoor eating table that seats 8, close to the covered fire pit.
Within walking distance or 3-10 minutes drive, you have everything:
tubing and kayaking from Benbow back to the house on the river;
Avenue of the Giants ;
The road to shelter cove on the coast is gorgeous, full of pristine old mountain meadows and beaches;
Hike among 1000 year old redwood forest.
Marteel Community Center (music and performances);
Shop Smart & Chautauqua Natural Foods (full grocery store);
USPS;
Garberville Farmer's Market (Friday 11am-3pm, May to Nov)
Several nice restaurants in such a rural area: Lost French Man wood oven pizza, Bellini Cafe, Woodrose Cafe (fresh local), Benbow Inn Restaurant (historical building by Julia Morgan) The Benbow house was originally the summer "beach house" for Hollywood Regency John Barrymore but was later added onto a lot and turned into a hotel.
The bones of the Cabin are old growth redwood, which you can see on the living room ceiling. It was recently lived in and is a clean nice special space that the owners decided to share during the summer.
There is an ADU (1bed/kitchen/1 bath) above the adjacent garage that a caretaker stays in from time to time, but it can be vacated for parties who wish to also rent that studio apartment. It has its own entrance.
Very quiet here. Almost no road noise. No light pollution. Milkly way...The size of some of the ancient trees... You will be amazing how this bend of Eel River feels like a world away yet has all the services within 5 minutes by car.
Lower Redway is a special place.

When we retired 13 years ago, we discovered this lovely piece of Paradise in Miranda, located on the famous Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County. Six years ago, we remodeled the basement and created what we call the “Garden Apt”. We have nine apple trees, a cherry tree, a fig tree, and a Concord grape arbor. It’s a 1/4-mile walk into the town of Miranda, where you will find the Miranda Market and gas & electric stations (well-stocked), as well as The Avenue Cafe (loved the Big Foot fries). Next door to the Post Office is The Palace restaurant, famous for the best ribeye steaks in Northern California! The Chimney Tree cafe is 6 miles south of Miranda on The Avenue of the Giants, along the river. There is a lovely trail that leads to what we locals refer to as “The Grove”, which is a beautiful walk in the redwoods just across the road on the Avenue. You can drive to a parking spot to start a walk on this path as well. When viewing the pictures, I’m sure you saw a picture of our dogs, aka our “kids”. Mojo is the grey one, and Karma is the blonde one. We also have a black cat called Magic who would love to have coffee with you in the mornings. Other residents you may see or hear are wild turkeys, quail, squirrels, foxes, and you will hear our neighbor’s chickens and ducks as well. You may also hear some donkeys braying in the distance.

Big Family Cabin Eel River Redwood

Beautiful redwood cabin
5 minute walk to beautiful Eel river to swim in the crystal clear pollution free mountain water, or fish from the beach. Great bike riding through redwoods for parents and kids alike!
Nestled right in the state park! Huge ancient redwood groves surround it yet the house itself is in a sunny spot. The 1 acre property offers 16 mature fruit trees, grapes, 10 roses, all kinds of flowers wild and cultivated. The garden also can be enjoyed from a covered outdoor eating table that seats 8, close to the covered fire pit.
Within walking distance or 3-10 minutes drive, you have everything:
tubing and kayaking from Benbow back to the house on the river;
Avenue of the Giants ;
The road to shelter cove on the coast is gorgeous, full of pristine old mountain meadows and beaches;
Hike among 1000 year old redwood forest.
Marteel Community Center (music and performances);
Shop Smart & Chautauqua Natural Foods (full grocery store);
USPS;
Garberville Farmer's Market (Friday 11am-3pm, May to Nov)
Several nice restaurants in such a rural area: Lost French Man wood oven pizza, Bellini Cafe, Woodrose Cafe (fresh local), Benbow Inn Restaurant (historical building by Julia Morgan) The Benbow house was originally the summer "beach house" for Hollywood Regency John Barrymore but was later added onto a lot and turned into a hotel.
The bones of the Cabin are old growth redwood, which you can see on the living room ceiling. It was recently lived in and is a clean nice special space that the owners decided to share during the summer.
There is an ADU (1bed/kitchen/1 bath) above the adjacent garage that a caretaker stays in from time to time, but it can be vacated for parties who wish to also rent that studio apartment. It has its own entrance.
Very quiet here. Almost no road noise. No light pollution. Milkly way...The size of some of the ancient trees... You will be amazing how this bend of Eel River feels like a world away yet has all the services within 5 minutes by car.
Lower Redway is a special place.

Weekend Trip to Dark Fairy Farms
I’ve been here a few times alone before, but I got to bring my bestie here and we loved it. Stanley the pup was so sweet as always. It was a beautiful day and evening. Slept with the windows open, listening to the owls and crickets and frogs. Always will return.

We stayed here March 21,2026 in the tent area on our spring trip through the redwoods from WA. We had one hiccup before arriving because HipCamps GPS coordinates directed us to the other side of 101 not the campground. Luckily the people were kind and pointed us to go under the highway to the other side where the park is. Look on your left if headed southbound for the signs for a RV park. The women who run the camp are AWESOME! So kind, showed us our site, moved a table to our site without us even asking. The bathrooms were pristine clean, showers were warm, and it’s a nice community of people. It showed two bars of Verizon LTE under the redwood trees, but she warned us T-Mo doesn’t get coverage if you care to keep your phone on.

This spot is easily accessed as it is right off of I-5. There is a large meadow area adjacent to what appears to be a section with long term residents in manufactured homes and a few campers. The meadow accommodates quite a few campers, although we were one of two overnight campers. Owners were helpful and friendly. Bathrooms with showers and a laundry room. Freeway sounds but who cares when you’re a tired traveler.

Mountain camp was a very basic cabin but absolutely comfortable. The description of the space and the amenities is accurate, so be prepared to get creative with a wood stove, generator, propane etc… we had some problems with the generator and the owners were really responsive, working with us to problem solve and not giving up! If you come with the right attitude the cabin is fantastic, the property is beautiful and the solitude worth the drive!

Tammy was very helpful and she had a maintenance guy. There is only one pig and one goat, but it was still pretty cool.
The bathrooms were clean and they have a dumpster on site. There was a bit of road noise and a weird siren, but overall, I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot that was sheltered enough from the highway that we got a great night's sleep. Also, I had called, didn't leave a message, and got a callback from Tammy in under 10 minutes. We had already driven to another place but went back to Wonderland mostly because of noise concerns. No regrets, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Heated bathrooms were a nice touch!
