3 nights at Rex & Cate's Hobby Farm

Catherine is a very Fine Host. And her place is accommodating and roomy. She also has a water hose that's long enough to reach your Trailer. Which was nice. Although not level, experienced RV'ers,(unlike me) can remedy that. It's close to the street, which doesn't bother me a lot.(LA Traffic) She has a Beautiful Place. And was very close to where I had something to do. Thank You.

We loved camping at the hobby farm! Site just as described, goats are so cute and friendly! Rex and Cate are great hosts (great communication and beautiful area) and we would definitely stay agin if we were in the area!

Two comfy twin beds with mattresses and linens along with access to electricity and WiFi make an evening in our Sweet Pepper Ranch Glamping Tent relaxing and convenient.

1 night at Sweet Pepper Ranch's Glamping Tent

Loved my brief stay at the Sweet Pepper Ranch! It was a scorcher of a day but after a quick dip in the pool and shower, the tent was perfect and cozy. When I woke up in the morning, there was fresh coffee and all the fixings waiting for me on the porch - who could ask for more?! Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness, Alayne!

Weekend Trip to Jerusalem Valley Idaho

Great service. Host is kind and went out of their way to help us get set up in the rain. They have 50amp service and Sewer which was really nice. Bring an extension for the sewer because it is about 12 feet away from the Rv. We road our dirty bikes up the dirt road to Jerusalem valley outlook. Beautiful! Site itself is not serene so much but the amenities and the access are why we will be there again.
