Welcome to Little Andes, a 66-acre private sanctuary nestled between forest, open sky, and flowing river.

The beautiful Hardware Hills Winery is just a 5 minute drive from the land! Best wine, pizza, and pretzel bites around! Ride your bike down the quiet gravel road that winds gently through the land, curving past blackberry brambles and young pines, leading you to the riverbend trail. Coast through the woods, let your dog run off leash, and breathe in the wildness. Follow the path as it opens to a serene spot by the river — ideal for meditative moments, fly fishing, or simply letting the sounds of water and birdsong carry your thoughts away. Stay up late to stargaze under a vast, unpolluted sky, where you might even catch the rare dance of the Northern Lights on the clearest nights. Build a fire, wrap yourself in a blanket, and watch the sunset paint the mountains in hues of lavender and gold. Completely off-grid and raw, Little Andes offers pure disconnection from the digital world and a powerful reconnection to nature. Whether you’re here to write, hike, dream, or simply rest, this land holds space for you.

Weekend Trip to Solar Trails Retreat

We had a great stay at Jason’s! He’s very responsive. Perfect proximity to tons of breweries/wineries and to launch into skyline drive. We enjoyed the private space and kitchen and bath amenities to refresh during our van trip. Would definitely stay again.

Wow. What a fantastic stay! Jason went out of his way to make sure we were all well cared for and comfortable! And he answered all messages within minutes, sometimes instantly! The access to the bathroom and kitchenette setup was perfect (a nice hot shower is a wonderful perk while camping)! Everything was clean - he even left some towels, soaps, and shampoos for us to use! Definitely adding this to my favorites list. We will surely return!

Weekend Trip to Solar Trails Retreat

We enjoyed the beautiful weekend in Afton/C'Ville area. The site was perfect for our needs. Host provided good amenities (hot shower, coffee maker) and safe and quiet place to park and plug in our Camper van. Would recommend this place which is close to breweries on 151 and vineyards all over the area.

This was our first visit. It’s peaceful, clean, lots of hiking and a nice watering hole for fishing. Goshen has a lot to offer if you love the outdoors. Because of the great hospitality from staff and the locals, we will be back soon! One love- The Ackermans

This is a great spot. Very quiet. Close to a brewery and a wineries. I have stayed at Misty Mountains Campground that is a few miles away. I will skip the campground next time and stay with Jason again. I love the quiet, no drunk people or generators running. The private bathroom with a shower was perfect.

Weekend Trip to Shepherd's Tavern Farm

Dave's property is remote but easily accessible. The property sites are visible but well spaced apart. Both had electrical and water available. The road noise was noticeable but died off at night. The only thing we heard in the morning was the "clip clop" of the horse drawn buggies of local farmers. Dave was very friendly and knowledgably about the area and local history. The weather was beautiful, which made our stay that much better. We will definitely stay again and highly recommend.
