WE love where we live! And we think you'd like to visit! WE mostly enjoy our views, one of the benefits of living on a hill, there is nothing to obstruct the view! Come and hike, or just sit!The site sits up top a hill with unobstructed views for miles. Perfect for enjoying sunrise and sunsets. Last 1/4 mile of road is a well maintained dirt road, no 4WD required. We are so excited to host you so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We love our property and we know you will too!

Not private but good views
Unfortunately the site was neighbors with houses so it was not as private as we would’ve liked. The host left a binder with info on near by places which was nice. It also would have been nice to know how to get the heat and hot water to work. The 1st night there we had no heat or hot water when the temperature dropped to 31F. We have never stayed in a trailer before so it would’ve been nice to know. We did figure it out the next day that the propane and water were turned off. Once we turned it on, the heater and hot water worked just fine.

John is great. Extremely prompt with communication and very flexible host. The views off the property are spectacular. Take caution: GPS won't take you to the correct place, and it was lucky I had 4-wheel drive because right past the property is an extremely steep and long descent and the roads are dirt (slick mud in our case, because it was pouring rain). We made it back up but others might not. The RV itself is much more spacious than I expected, with good facilities and fixtures. Lots of clean and comfy bedding and pillows. The freezer and refrigerator were cold and spacious, but had not been cleaned in quite a while. Drawer interiors were also pretty dirty; kitchen utensils like measuring cups and such needed to be cleaned before use. Shower was surprisingly good, but I'm 6'4" so I had to crouch. Bed was very comfortable. Internet was solid. Heater wasn't working but John had a space heater inside for us to use and it did the job just fine. Ultimately, I'd definitely stay here again.

A quiet little place to escape!
My bf and I had a wonderful stay! We will definitely be back. They had everything you need; a well stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets, working AC, a space heater for when the night got chilly. The camper heats and cools quick! The bed was comfortable, if you like more firm pillows or are specific about your pillows maybe bring your own. My bf is picky about his pillows but I was fine! It felt very secluded and was quiet and peaceful, we loved sitting on the deck and drinking our coffee in the morning!

This was a great find, good location with a nice view. We really enjoyed the RV which was nice and clean and had everything provided. It was great to have a campfire and enjoy looking at the stars. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Both me and friend really enjoy our stay at Manzanita Ridge. John provide us with all the basic needs and help us as soon as we asked for help. Everything went well. I really enjoy such tiny but cozy spaces. And the bed was way more comfortable than I expected. They also have running water. And outdoor environment is just perfect for a little get away. Even it was weekend and surround by other houses, but it was so quiet, i get to enjoy the birds and animals around there. It was such great experience, i will definitely book again.

It was a peaceful, warm accommodation. The environment was mountainous, and host, attentive.
