A carpenter and engineer, he developed a business constructing houseboats in Sausalito.

In the ’90s, Forbes added a 40-foot lighthouse and a white picket fence.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Cattle Company

Easy to find and very accessible. The tranquility was a definite plus. Being a single campsite was very nice. Site electrical worked great. Thank you for allowing my wife and I to stay here one night after Boots & Brews instead of driving all the way home.

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!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Meadows

Lovely wooded spot in close proximity to lots of hiking trails, a year round creek for exploring, wine tasting, and Saratoga Village. Good spot for camping light. Hwy 9 curves around the camping portion of the property so expect vehicle noise. It didn't prevent us from enjoying the place and at night there is hardly any traffic so sleeping was fine. There is a hose near the camp area that makes for good hand washing and outdoor showers. Shannon was truly the best host ever and really enhanced our stay with her generosity. Very thankful for her.

4 nights at Paradise Valley Cattle Company

What a great little spot. The spot is as advertised. Plenty of room to back in my 24' trailer. I needed about 2" for leveling that that's no big deal. Water pressure and electric were great. Lots of opportunity to place your rig for decent shade. Duley the little cow was such a fun addition and made the spot.

1 night at Paradise Valley Cattle Company

A very sweet overnight camping experience. Very quiet despite being in a neighborhood. The little cow was adorable and his mooing was quiet and infrequent. This IS in a neighborhood, within sight of homes so if you're looking for something totally secluded this isn't it, but I found the stay very relaxing/easy.

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The views are absolutely stunning, and the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. Amy is incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. The campsite itself is private and peaceful. We also enjoyed using the tennis court during our stay. It can get a bit windy up there, but the view makes up for it. Highly recommend.

Very friendly hosts. They had a grill and some pretty cool chairs that looked at epics views. Could see the sierra mountain range from my tent view which was epic.
