Welcome to our home. 5 acres in Phelan, Ca 10 miles from Wrightwood and Victorville. Come spend a night and enjoy a soak in our wood burning hot tubs. We have chickens, greenhouse, an orchard, solar, a windmill come experience our bit of paradise. We have had two single women both with Toyota Tundra trucks. Feeling safe was important to them, it has always been safe here with plenty of peace and quiet. Phelan is a semi rural area with good neighbors. Tesla charging is available.

5. Malibu Creek Orchard Retreat

40mi from Monrovia · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

A retreat in a steep canyon with beautiful ridgelines in the Malibu Creek area. Private camp spots and hidden trails away from it all, but yet so close. Only 30 Minutes from the Santa Monica Pier or 15 Minutes to the beaches of Malibu, still it feels like being a world away. You wouldn't expect nature to be so pristine and exciting that close to the city. Prior to check-in guests will need to sign the property’s lease agreement which requires a $300 fully refundable security deposit hold on the travellers credit card. For larger groups of five guests and more the deposit will be 50% of the total rent.

Harmony's camping site was awesome! Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, and the dwelling on the property was very cool. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Desert mountain

This is a very unique place and the owner is very kind, interesting and wonderful to talk to. I didn’t have much time to spend there but next time I will. It’s peaceful and the location is not too far from Los Angeles Definitely a must visit

Loren’s property was amazing! It was the perfect spot right outside the city to break in my new camper. He was very helpful when I needed help with understanding my power needs. He’s got a bunch of cool props hanging around the property which were also pretty cool. There’s a great French restaurant down the street that’s perfect for a nice dinner and glass of wine. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Malibu Creek Orchard Retreat

A hidden-away gem. What a fun campsite! The vintage Airstresm trailer is in amazing shape. Decorated and arranged beautifully. Fabian put everything together so nicely. A bowl of fresh rosemary and lemons from their orchard on the table when we arrived. Coffee and cream packs in the fridge. Firewood and kindling and cooking utensils for the BBQ. Lovely little touches everywhere. Thr amenities are amazing. Full power in the trailer and a bathroom with instant hot water. A smart space heater for the chilly evenings and Alexa to play music and turn on the outside string and accent lights made for a really great nighttime camp experience. There is a hiking loop that is private to the site and takes you up into the hills with a bench at the top to watch the sunset it was gorgeous! Overall we can't wait to go back. There is a cabin you can also rent for larger groups they are renovating currently, when they is done, a larger group of friends would make this an incredible site for a getaway weekend. Highly recommend!

Surprisingly close to the city but felt like you are deep in the country. Quiet. Peaceful. Convenient. Hosts were great. Lots of cool movie set stuff makes you feel like you are spending the night in a small western town but with the modern conveniences and other modern quirky movie items. This place has character!

Weekend Trip to Desert Castle

This place is great if you want a solitude getaway where you can enjoy the sunny beautiful day and star filled skies at night. Desert Castle is very rustic, you have to bring your own water, power and bathroom. The small house structure allows you to enjoy a nice indoor fireplace at night.
