I loved my one night stay in Caboose #11! The caboose was clean and cozy, the hot tub was lovely in the rain, and dinner in the dining car was delicious. I had my dog with me and there were no problems with that, the property was dog-friendly as described (just had to pay a $25 pet fee when reserving through Hipcamp, not sure if that's the same if you book through their website directly). Everything was easy & nice! Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to The Goat Shed
I had the loveliest time in the goat shed. The space is small but well kitted out with the basics, like battery powered lights, a propane stove, water, dishes, towels and extra blankets. But when I arrived, I also found some extra treats, like nice lotion, oracle cards and hot water left out so that I could make tea when I arrived on a cold night. Johanna couldn't have been nicer. I will 100% come back the next time I'm passing through.

I love the airstreams at Cave Springs Resort. We had some technical issues with our airstream and the staff upgraded us at no extra charge. The staff are truly amazing, friendly, and polite. They place is conveniently located near the Sacramento River and near the major freeway so getting around is never an issue. The place is so clean, beautiful and tastefully decorated. They truly thought of every detail and I cannot recommend Cave Spring Resort enough. I will go back!

Honestly we loved it. It was obvious how intentional you were with building it and how much love went into the space.
Things we loved:
- remote: just far enough away from everything that it felt like we were away from the world but close enough we could get things if needed.
- patio: great outdoor space
- pillows: I seriously wanted to take your pillows with us. Best pillows we have had on this trip
- GOAT Shed: the story about the goats was a perfect touch
Thanks for helping us have a great weekend getaway.

What an incredible story this place has. The owners have clearly followed God's creative direction and created a heavenly oasis in the middle of the Trinity Alps. The highlight for sure is rafting down the river, which I didn't have enough time to do. This is def a family camp, stay for a few days kinda place. My studio room was big and clean and had everything I needed microwaving my dinner and a quick breakfast. Although you could happily be fed every meal and drink at the cafe!

I love the rustic cabins at Dunsmuir and have for the past 20 years. They are sweet, ramshackle, and super old-timey in the best way. They have totally updated the check-in, the pool, the beautiful courtyard and the sundries in the shop which is so nice. But thankfully they left rustic cabins, rustic.
