Weekend Trip to Locus Solus
Absolutely incredible experience. Such a unique and peaceful stay. It was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time. And we can't wait to go back soon! If you want to take a moment to slow down to be present, this is the place for you.

Everything was perfect, so quiet and relaxing. Great to have the little "bath house" with toilet and shower to use. Hosts were pleasant and helpful but not intrusive. My favorite part was my private yoga session with Kimberly.

Incredibly beautiful place to spend the night! We had everything that we needed for a perfect night in Point Arena. The land is incredibly beautiful and the place especially clean. Will be recommending this place to all of my close friends!

Perfect spot to tent camp with the pups. Ideally located for our coastal adventure. Private, serene, and just what we needed.

What a stunning stay. I loved everything about this (especially the bed! One of the most comfortable I’ve slept in in recent memory). The views, the vibes, everything about the octagon was out of a dream.

I really enjoyed staying on this land. The cabin was beautiful and really set up with lights and accommodations, and the land is just magical. Also, Ben is such a good host and really made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Staying at Hoppers was truly an unforgettable experience. When we went there were 11 of sweetest puppies, and 4 dare I say sweeter doggy parents and grandparents. (They were all equally sweet)
Hopper was accommodating to us and such a thoughtful host. The yurt was very cozy and beautifully deisgned. His approach to sustainability is novel and special.
As someone who loves to camp in Joshua Tree, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, the area was the was the darkest night sky I’ve seen in a long long time. If you want more comfort than camping at salt point, but still be immersed in the north coast nature this is the place to be.
10/10 recommend

Weekend Trip to Locus Solus
We had such a wonderful stay at The Octagon! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Simone, our gracious feline host, who gave us a charming tour of the property and made us feel right at home.
The location is absolutely perfect—peaceful, scenic, and ideal for disconnecting. The sleeping area was cozy and comfortable, and stargazing at night was a highlight—so many stars visible without the interference of city lights. It felt magical.
The kitchen and bathroom setup was super convenient and thoughtfully designed. We loved being surrounded by nature and even spotted deer and a skunk during our visit.
As a bonus, we visited the owner's restaurant, The Record, and had an amazing time. I enjoyed some delicious local wine, and my husband loved the beer selection. Add in live music, and it was the perfect way to end the evening.
All in all, it was a truly special stay. We definitely hope to return.

Hopper's farm was a super fun spot to stay for a weekend with my dog and toddler. The yurt had everything we needed and the detached bathroom with shower and a couple sinks was just a short walk away. His farm is in a beautiful forest about a 20 min drive uphill from sea ranch, so it is a great alternative to Salt Point SP or the other campgrounds closer to Gualala. My daughter enjoyed seeing his rabbits. Hopper is a fountain of wisdom about local plants and agriculture and I'm sure a longer stay would be super interesting, but we mainly used it as a home base for local adventures along the coast. Also if you're coming up from the bay the drive from 101 through dry creek valley is gorgeous and passes through loads of wineries/farms with cool farm stands and other neat things to stop and see if you have more time. Bottom line, it's a really nice, peaceful spot and we hope to return again soon for a longer stay.

This is a lovely, level spot overlooking the coastal trees (but not quite the ocean). There is a large, level parking area and some wooden lounge chairs in a clearing, with a picnic bench and several tent spots. The approach is on a gravel road and then a gravel track, well-described in the listing.
The location itself is wonderfully quiet. I heardbirdsong in the fog each morning. One should be aware that there are no amenities (water/toilet etc.), and no fire pit, all of which was fine with me as a self-contained van camper. Just down the road, the center of Pt Arena is a small town with store, movie theater, etc. Visiting the coastal towns was easy from Pt. Arena.
All in all, a lovely experience that I would happily come back to!

The octagon was amazing! Check in was super easy and Paul provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The space feels very secluded while being just a quick trip away from town.

We had a wonderful time at Locus Solus this past weekend. It is such a beautiful spot. It feels so private and tucked away, yet is less than 10 mins from town. A perfect balance. Highly recommended!

From the moment we pulled in, we knew we were somewhere special. Thomas went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay — and it honestly felt like visiting an old friend rather than just a host. He had a tent already set up for us, with a table, a couch and a tarp.
His land is beautiful and peaceful — it just has this calm energy to it. We felt super safe and relaxed the whole time. Our dog was in heaven, running around freely with Thomas’s dogs. They got along great, and it was so nice to be somewhere truly dog-friendly.
The next morning, Thomas gave us a little tour of the place, including his hydroponic garden. I don’t think I’ll ever look at store-bought arugula the same way again — it was insanely good. The eggs were also super fresh and delicious, and he even offers customized baskets with produce from his farm. It’s such a cool, personal touch that makes the stay even more unique.
Also — can’t forget to mention the swing. It was such a fun surprise and made us feel like kids again.
This place is the definition of good vibes. Genuine host, beautiful land, and thoughtful touches everywhere. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible off-grid Hipcamp spot, and it was nothing short of magical! Thomas was not only friendly but also passionate about sharing his knowledge of the land, making every interaction meaningful and enriching.
One of the highlights of my stay was enjoying morning and night tea while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. The peaceful ambiance allowed for serene moments of reflection and connection with nature. I also had the joy of meeting the best dogs on the property, who were always ready for some love and mostly at work, being guard dogs!
The swings on the property had a whimsical charm, adding a sense of joy and life to the experience. I felt a wonderful sense of solitude in this beautiful setting, which allowed me to truly unwind and recharge.
And let’s not forget the wild strawberries—hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! They were a delightful treat that perfectly complemented my stay.
I also indulged in a healing massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and at peace. The yurt itself was wonderfully equipped with everything I needed, blending comfort with the beauty of nature.
If you're looking for an unforgettable escape filled with learning, relaxation, and genuine interactions, this is the place to be! I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to return!
