Weekend Trip to Sage

This property is a hidden gem, it is so beautiful and Bobby is very welcoming. My husband and I were looking for a quick getaway for a night. Like the description says, bring you snacks. That’s exactly what we did, this spot has everything else you need. Everything from cooking on the open fire to the spa was a great experience. We will definitely be back for another glamping trip!

The camp was exactly what I wanted, if I had to change something, it would be bring more snacks. The bathroom is nice and clean and there are some unexpected delights like the massage chairs where you can get a nice rub after a hike. You can expect to see horses, coyotes and hens of course.

3 nights at VIEWS! Pine View Lodge *Jetted Tub*

My Pine View lodge stay was over the top in many ways, lots of nice details to make you feel at home. There was everything needed to enjoy dinners on the deck, including a beautiful forest view along with peace and quiet. The host, Gary, kept in touch with suggestions for activities and dining out options. He was most gracious in his communications and very easy to work with on arrangements. An A+++ experience.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Valley Ranch Retreat

My wife and I stayed in the popup camper during Memorial Day weekend. Geoffrey is a very nice and helpful host. He communicated and responded all questions/concerns in a fast manner. The camper itself is a bit small, but very cozy. It has an AC fan that's helpful, but any day above 100 degree, be prepared for other cooling options. It sits nicely in the middle of the ranch and access to bathroom is very close - the bathroom itself is clean, the trash can could be bigger :) . Note that parking is in front of the house and the camper is in the back so there is some walking involved while moving camping gear... As for the camp itself, the place is beautiful and huge for hiking around. There are horses and chickens around that make it feel serene. The Hidden Falls regional park is nearby and its border is about a 15-20 mins walk. However, hiking to the fall will take 3-4 miles (follow the Grey Squirrel path, once you hit the intersection, turn left on North Legacy path). It was a moderate hike and has amazing scenery. Geoffrey showed us the path there and around his property on his offroad vehicle, which was awesome! We had a fun time here and maybe we'll come back when the swimming pond is available to swim =)

Weekend Trip to Sage

We 10000% recommend staying here🤎🌲 if you’re looking for a place that feels straight out of a movie—dog friendly, peaceful, remote, and surrounded by nature singing around you. From the moment we booked, Bobby was an amazing host—warm, attentive, and super communicative. He knew we wouldn’t have signal, so he made sure to be there right on time to guide us in. When we arrived, he gave us a full tour and made it clear everything on the property was for us to enjoy. We felt welcome and at home every moment. The open-air kitchen in the forest is pure magic, and it has everything you could ever need, from pans to spices. One of our favorite moments was connecting to his Spotify and playing our music while cooking under the trees. There’s always a fire going— perfect for s’mores, deep talks and stargazing 💫 The place is incredibly dog-friendly🐶 We have two Australian Shepherds who were allowed off-leash the whole time. They had the best time! During the day, we hiked and explored. At night, we soaked in the jacuzzi right outside our room—perfect temperature, peaceful vibes. Before leaving, Bobby recommended Silver Lake to continue our adventure. And something really special—he helped me find a nature souvenir (a beautiful branch!) for my travel tradition. Truly one of our most memorable stays. We’ll be back! Thank you, Bobby.
