The Nook is a cozy, rustic cabin nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest and on the edge of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).
Wake slowly to the sounds of the creek running in the backyard. Have a glass of wine while forest bathing. Take a hike to Deep Creek. The Nook is the perfect escape!

OUR STORY
Our farm story began in 2018, when on a whim and a prayer we purchased a rundown home and land. After years of acquiring many blisters, animals, plants and weird suntans, we eventually created the home and farm of our dreams. Our emphasis in the beginning of this journey was to create a space in which our children (along with ourselves) learned the value of producing our own food, fiber, meat and eggs. We challenged ourselves to learn sustainable and organic farming practices, and the emphasis soon changed to how can we share this journey and all that we have learned with more than just our children.
So…..here we are, sharing our hard work and ambition with you. For now, this ambition is in the form of HomeMade Jams, Jellies, Teas, Seasonings and Confections that is procured from our own organically grown gardens and trees along with HandMade fiber creations from our small Alpaca herd. I would like to be able to say that we grew everything that goes into our ingredients, but we are not that good at everything yet! So to keep in the spirit of ethical sustainability along with ensuring a high quality and great tasting product, we purchase ingredients from local organic farmers and shelf products that not only have the USDA Organic seal, but are non-GMO, ethically harvested and in some cases certified Kosher.
One day we hope to meet you and share our story with you by introducing you to the fruit trees my father grew from seed and let you feel the soft fiber of our eclectic herd of misfit Alpacas while you watch the glorious Southern California sunset touch the hot desert horizon we call home.
Cheers!

Thank you guys so much for an excellent birthday weekend. Such great hosts greeted us the evening of our arrival and even put a happy birthday flag out with very short notice . Cabin is secluded with only the sounds of nature which was exactly what we were looking for. Still close enough to town to not be inconvenient. Definitely will be coming back.

The Nook is truly a special place. It is tucked away in the woods, and on the quietest road you can imagine. I don't think I saw a car driving by the while time we were there so if you are looking for true peace and quiet, this is it!
The property itself has so many amenities, like a fully stocked kitchen, painting nook, tons of boardgames and books. It also has a TV for cozy movie nights!
The bedrooms were SO cozy too and the bathroom even had a jetted tub!!
We were so sad to leave the Nook, and are already planning our trip back.
Thank you again, Abby!

This was a beautiful and thoughtfully prepared spot! The host helped us attempt to level our camper van and was kind enough to bring us an extension cord so we could connect our 30 AMP. There was some animal noise at night (coyotes and guardian dogs barking at each other a bit) and the neighbor’s rooster did his thing in the morning, but it didn’t bother us. The site has an adorable picnic table and a second seating area. Would stay again!

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!

Jossue’s land is great, with beautiful views of the stars during the night and the surrounding mountains during the day.
Campground is exactly as described. Very secluded and quiet, which is what we were looking for.
The site was very clean, despite a beer can here and there from prior campers. Nothing that interfered with our enjoyment.
Jossue was amazing, with easy to follow directions and helpful tips about the weather.
We would absolutely camp here again.

We had a wonderful long weekend in the mountains at The Nook. Abby, our host was very responsive and helpful. The cabin was clean, cozy and well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend. The dirt road was a bit of a challenge but after a couple times back and forth you figure it out. Would stay there again.

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!
