Weekend Trip to The Hollow: Off-Grid Paradise

Trip was exactly what we needed. Tiffany was very quick to respond when we had questions and everything was as described. Great view of the stars and all you need when camping was provided.

Weekend Trip to The Hollow: Off-Grid Paradise

What stood out most about Tiffany’s land was the peaceful seclusion—it’s the perfect place to truly disconnect and recharge. The property offers a great mix of on-grid and off-grid experiences, giving you the freedom to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort if you don’t want to. The land feels expansive and private, with plenty of space to explore, relax, or just breathe in the stillness. One tip—be sure to plan your trip during good weather. Since it’s a more natural and remote setting, the experience is best enjoyed when the conditions are clear and comfortable. Tiffany is a gracious host, and you can tell the land is cared for with intention. Highly recommend for campers, creatives, or anyone needing a reset.
