Kitchen includes sinks, refrigerator, stove, toaster oven, toaster, blender, espresso machine, coffee grinder, dishes, utensils, plates, pans, cutting boards, etc. If there's something you need and can't find it, we'll bring it out from our kitchen in the house. All you bring for meals is the food! CHECK WITH HOSTS about whether FIRES are currently allowed. Please LIMITED FIRES during Fire Season. Fire MUST be completely extinguished before you go to sleep at night. Firewood available for purchase. SMOKERS, please be super careful! LIBRARY OF TOYS, BOOKS, PUZZLES, AND GAMES. Around the property, there's plenty of cool forest shade, a park like lawn, and a sunny meadow. Find yourself a cozy spot on a sofa under the trees or in a hammock with a good book from our library. There's always a jigsaw puzzle out on one of the picnic tables by the pizza oven. We’ve got badminton and croquet, just ask. Enjoy looking at the stars through the telescope, just ask. Each campsite has a picnic table & benches. Outlets to CHARGE YOUR PHONE and DEVICES. Wifi in several places in town (1 mile). Fruit trees and extensive gardens dot the property. Feel free to pick a piece of fruit. We almost always have organic fresh eggs from the chickens, so just ask. We're in a wooded country neighborhood where lots of folks have dogs, so you might hear some barking and see some neighbors. Very occasionally we see a dog off leash. We ask that you keep your dogs on leash at all times, as we have cats and chickens and our neighbors have small children. Please respect our neighbors' privacy. We encourage you to enjoy the forest, but do be aware that there is poison oak. If you don't know what it looks like we can show you. Please arrive between Noon - 8pm. Text us your estimated arrival time and then when you're 15 minutes out, let us know you're getting close. Please try to get here by 8:00pm. However, you can prearranged for a late arrival in "Extras." We are flexible about check out time, if we do not have other campers arriving for your site. Just ask. We are flexible about cancelations. If you cancel 24 hours before check-in time (1pm), you get a full refund, automatically. Cancelling with less than 24 hours notice?

Stage in the Woods (8 ppl max)

Nice Spot!

What a great little stop! Me and my 3 boys got there a bit late, but stayed a bit later the following day. AJ came out to greet me when we arrived and talked to us the following day as well. I'd definitely recommend this place as a nice little getaway or just a one nighter on your way to somewhere else. This was the first stop for us on a 4-night Exploration up the coast to the Redwoods. The town of Laytonville is only a minute or two away. Very small town, but cute, and met lots of friendly folks in the short time we were there. Definitely stop by the second hand store, Sunset Second Hand Store. Great Owner! and her husband owns the shop next door! This spot will definitely be considered in future trips out that way.

The Orchard

Camping with Great Amenities

Hillary's land was beautiful and peaceful. We brought our supplies but it was great having the full outdoor kitchen and outlets at our disposal. The solar-powered showers were an incredible plus after a day at the local swimming hole. Hillary was very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for local swim spots to escape the heat.

Under the Madrone (Max 10 campers)

Loved this place!

The best best best. We loved camping under the madrone. Personally, I think this was the best site of all, with lots of shade. This was such a unique camping experience and Hillary was an excellent host. So many creative and thoughtful elements were invested into this magical place. I was obsessed with the shed full of curiosities, and my boys 3 and 5 had the best time playing with all the toys. The outdoor shower was so cool, I would come back again and again.

Under the Madrone (Max 10 campers)

This was a very sweet campsite. Great location, lovely outdoor shower, and I appreciated the host putting us in a different site in order to maximize space for everyone in the camp. Would stay again!

Happy Go Lucky (Max 10 campers)

What a little good vibes camp site! Hillary and AJ were super helpful and made some great recommendations for local swimming spots. The outhouse by our site wins award for most adorable outhouse on earth. Everything was so cute and well maintained. There are lots of sweet cats and KITTENS. Only downside was a fairly high mosquito count, so plan accordingly.

Under the Madrone (Max 10 campers)

What a delightful spot! We loved the charm, the decor, and eating farm fresh eggs that our 4 year old got to search for in the coop. Our host was fantastic and responsive. Only regret—we weren’t there during blackberry season!!!!
