We couldn't find a single thing to complain about during our stay at Audrey and Richard's farm. This was easily one of the most comfortable, well-organized, and spotless places we visited on our entire cross-country journey from Boston to Seattle.
Beyond the beautiful property itself, we were delighted by our conversations with both hosts. They're genuinely fascinating and inquisitive people – the kind you could happily chat with for hours! Their thoughtfulness extended right to our departure, when they sent us off with fresh fruit for the road – such a sweet and generous touch.
One night wasn't enough time to fully enjoy such a wonderful place, and we're already planning our return visit.

Weekend Trip to Moon valley camping
The wooden pod was more than I expected! It was cozy, comfortable, and just the right size. I rained the whole time I was there and I was able to relax and read book’s while enjoying the sound of the rain. I will definitely be back for another stay.
