We came here for a little secret getaway and we are so glad we chose this place instead of staying more in town near Santa Barbara. Great hiking trails around, rich history of the land. Our host Shirley & Matt are incredibly kind and helpful. Thanks again!

Phenomenal welcoming &relaxing !!

The tent was heavy, high quality, incredibly spacious, clean, impeccably well maintained, and had all the amenities one could ask for. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming and wholly available if needed but gave plenty of privacy and distance otherwise. Really nice spacious porch with seats, a small wood table, and nice little propane grill and close-range heater. Additionally, loved the private shower, sink/vanity, and toilet. Shower had plenty of lasting hot water and was mere steps from the tent. Could not if asked for more in a meticulously designed and dutifully maintained camping spot; quiet, relaxing, secluded, and enjoyable in the utmost!

Everything is set up perfect for a quiet weekend under the trees! They have everything as described in the listing and all you need to bring is clothes, activities and food...I even had coffee in the room when I had forgotten mine! Parking is easy, short walk to the tent. Bed is VERY comfortable and blankets were enough to stay warm even on a pretty chilly night. Bathroom and hot shower just a step away from the deck. I can't wait to come back and send another weekend here.
