Five acres in the hills of Silicon Valley — just 5 miles into the mountain passes with zero cell reception (Starlink WiFi available), yet it feels like you're hundreds of miles away. Despite the peaceful seclusion, it’s only a 15-minute drive to Starbucks and local restaurants. Experience pitch-black nights with bright stars, a quiet country road lined with redwoods, a small creek running through the property, and abundant wildlife. Take a walk and feed our friendly Chocolate Orpington chickens and Mini Nubian goats their treats. Enjoy the sounds of the night, or simply find solace from city life just 20 minutes away. Hike up the hills for incredible views of the protected San Jose hills.

Welcome to our small family farm in the heart of Morgan Hill’s coveted Paradise Valley. Home to our beloved miniature Highland cattle; this property offers guests a truly unique countryside experience surrounded by the beauty of a seasonal pond, creeks, and mature oak trees. Unwind in a tranquil setting where you’ll be serenaded by croaking frogs, the occasional gentle “moo,” and the soft sounds of nature.

Peaceful country vibes meet modern comfort with high-speed fiber internet. Sip your morning coffee under the oaks, explore local trails and vineyards by day, then return to a safe, cozy spot under a sky full of stars. Come for the quiet, stay for the charm and make a couple four-legged friends along the way.

2 nights at Stars + Mt. Diablo + Farm RV Pad
So peaceful! I'd love to see it in spring when the almonds are blooming. All I could hear was cows mooing in the distance and one coyote howl. It was a great stopover for a couple nights. To find it, you turn right onto a small gravel drive off of Crocker. If you get to W. Undine you've gone too far. The pad is covered in largish chunks of recycled concrete. My car and little camper handled it fine, though. There is water, 30A & 50A power and sewer. Bring drinking water, because even with an inline filter the water came out rusty. If you get a chance, stop by the office and pick up some raw walnuts and excellent biscotti.

My wife and I stayed for about 4 months, we loved it. Jaqueline was very friendly and they have the best pecans and walnuts that you can purchase! The only problem was the rocks and our pets feet. But we worked around that and they eventually got use to it. Water and electric hookups came in handy. I hope to stay again!

My partner and I loved staying at Cole’s Ranch! Barry is extremely hospitable and organized. All of the amenities he provides were also super clean; we really appreciated the clean bathroom and kitchen area. Highly recommend the tour he provides as well! We ended up booking the hay ride and cow/calf experience and all of their cows were friendly and loved being pet. We’re definitely going to come back again next time!

The RV sites are well laid out, spacious, and flat, next to a lovely pomegranate orchard and near a pleasant river. Barry was extremely friendly and helpful, greeting us when we got there and showing us around the amenities. The boats available for use were great, and the kitchen area provided a place with hot water on demand to do dishes so we didn’t have to heat it up on our stove. My only regret was not bringing fishing gear along; maybe next time, since we will definitely keep this on our list of places to come back to.

Nancy has truly thought of everything to make a stay at her place effortless and relaxing. From personally greeting you and guiding you to the site on your first visit, to pampering you with extra amenities, she goes above and beyond. Her property is stunning—exactly what I was hoping for, both for myself and my two high energy dogs. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect, all while staying conveniently close to town.

Just can't beat floating in an 80 degree pool under the stars! Everyone was very friendly and the amenities were wonderful. The private bathrooms and showers were lovely (although they are salt/ mineral water). The individual hot springs tubs were a great way to enjoy the magic power of hot springs and our campsite was wonderful

A very peaceful and quiet location just outside of Morgan Hill. Kind of the ideal place for a quick getaway. We stayed there in our fifth wheel RV and Brian was an excellent host, always very friendly and made sure that we felt welcome. And an absolute plus to being here was being able to hang out with the Highland cow Dually!

We loved Heather and Ed’s wonderful property! We did so many fun things: water gunfights, kayaking, swimming, cowboys training (ax throwing and roping cow), and stargazing. And that was only the first day! On the second day we went on a five-hour kayaking trip with Ed’s help. Truly amazing experiences. We fell in the river at least three times but it was great fun. Already recommended your place to one of our Boy Scout leaders. We will definitely come back again. :-)

Ed & Heather was just a delight and really goes out of their way to help you get the best experience camping at their very lovely property. At one point Ed was teaching the other campers how to lasso and he was giving me fishing pointers. Special mention to Blue and Axel (pups) that played with my kids by the waters. Definitely recommend!
