4 nights at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Tyler was a great host! I failed to book properly and got the RV site when I meant to book the Airstream. Lucky for me that no one had booked it for that weekend and we were able to work it out! I loved sitting out at the picnic table in morning to look over the valley while drinking coffee. At night it was a glass of wine under the stars and the twinkling lights of the city off in the distance. It was peaceful there and very restorative. I loved watching the sky with all it's variations of weather off in the distance. The surrounding properties were distant and quiet. One review mentioned the freeway, and you could hear the traffic, but it was far enough away that it was easily tuned out while listening to the birds twitter and call. The place was easy to find with gps.

This is an adorable little cabin with a wonderful view! One small note is the front door doesn’t fully lock.

Loved staying in this Airstream. The host was very friendly and helpful and we had everything we needed. The view at night (and in the morning) was magical too.

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

This was the first stop on my best friend's 7-state 30th birthday road trip, she had been driving us straight from 8:30 AM til we arrived here right before sunset, and it turned out to be everything we needed after the long journey! Tyler got everything warm, clean, and comfy for us before we showed up, and even shoveled paths and the picnic table area for us (quite a task, given the ~5" or more of ice-topped snow). The outhouse was also very clean, and not even particularly cold, somehow. We had a nice dinner with silly YouTube videos, thanks to the fast WiFi and nice little TV, and scoured our dishes clean with the snow. The couch and bed were both very comfy, and we both had plenty of space to sleep in the latter (definitely could've fit a third person with ease). Perhaps the best part was how beautiful our surroundings were in the morning; the Sun rising over the vast, misty, white landscape felt being in a modern cowboy dream scene, and you can see all the way to the distant city from the door of the airstream (which was also a pretty sight at night). Tyler told us we were the first Winter guests they've had, and we both give the experience full marks and would definitely recommend it to everyone else!

Weekend Trip to Wildedge Ranch Yurt

Our family enjoyed a winter weekend at Wildedge Yurt to celebrate a birthday. The kids had a blast sledding and playing in all the fresh snow on the hills around the yurt. The yurt itself was very clean, warm, and comfortable. The porta potty was also fresh and clean. We parked in spot #2 near the porta potty. It wasn't a very far walk at all to reach the yurt. Basically just down a small slope from the road. Spot #1 is a bit further, about a 5 minute walk. We brought suitcases, totes, and a cooler instead of backpacks. If you go that route, definitely park in spot #2, or at least unload up by the porta potty. Wade was extremely easy to work with and responded to my questions quickly. He also kept in touch with us about snow levels and access. It's beautiful there! It was a weekend full of great memories and our kids are already asking when we can return! One thing to note: There are 2 roads named Timberline Dr. off Banks/Lowman Rd. If you just plug in the address in Apple Maps it'll take you to the first road (coming from Boise), which is not correct. Don't take that one. Instead, follow the written directions Wade sends you and go to the 2nd Timberline Dr. that starts out as Huston Rd. that is just a bit further down Banks/Lowman Rd. Wade plows that road in the winter as it's basically his really long driveway passing by some summer cabins. Enjoy your stay!

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

Our stay was pretty great! A couple extras that we were not expecting, like chairs and already cut wood.

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

It was a fun two night trip. Ivy is a great host and she was very easy to communicate with. She and answered all of our questions. The property is in a wooded area and very private. It has 50amp service, potable water and a tank dump. It’s close to the little town of Crouch and Terrace Lakes Golf Course. There is a hot pool there as well. We had a great time and we’ll be back.
