I loved staying at Ana's property! as soon as i arrived, ana was very friendly, she video called me and showed me how to get to the cabin, right away she sent a staff to welcome me and even brought the wine opener i had asked for. The cabin is the cutest thing in the world, and the best part is going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the river. the property is beautiful and fun. I want to come back many more times

The landscape is beautiful and picturesque, while surrounded by the mountains. Bathrooms are accommodating and accessible, showers have warm water too. The only downsides to note are that the grounds aren’t well lit at night (but they provide a lantern for that) and there is no key to lock your cabin but the area is safe anyways! Staff are all friendly and nice too :)

Had an amazing time at the cabin. Super clean and calm, we slept with the sound of the river. Many waterfalls and beautiful places to hike, our dog had a blast!

The property is beautiful and the cabin is quaint. I loved listening to the sound of the river each night and in the morning. The property owner, Hamlet, was a wonderful host providing tea and amazing company. Would definitely recommend this place!

We loved our time at River and Mountains Cabin. It was nice waking up to the sound of the river and get some peace and quiet from the city. They also have a watering hole where you can swim. Ana was very accommodating, we forgot to bring a corkscrew for our wine and she looked for one for us. Also, for people who want to hike, there’s a lot of nearby hikes but it’s a great stop to break the drive from LA to sequoia national park! Thank you again! We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at the ranch during the week when there were actually no other guests except for two of the workers who were on site during the day. We took our two dogs who loved it since we were basically the only guests on site. Very spacious area to walk around- the cabin was nice- but make sure to bring lights for walking around and seeing outside of your cabin after sunset because it is very dark. The walk to the bathroom was up a steep driveway and a little walk across the grounds- at least 5 minutes away- so if you have trouble walking up a small hill- you might consider that. The creek and swimming hole was nice, but was already starting to slow down and get lower unfortunately, so we will try to go back earlier in the season.

We just left and wished we could stay longer! This trip was a much needed break from the city.
Everything was as pictured and described. The grounds were beautiful! We did run into a few people while we walked around, but for the most part we felt like it was just us.
The cabin was secluded and very well insulated. We closed the windows and couldn’t hear anything outside. However, I loved hearing the sounds of the water so we did leave the sliding door cracked. The cabin is great for couples. The cabin is on a ledge so I don’t think it’ll be good for kids running around especially at night since there’s no light.
Our two small dogs also enjoyed the trip. For pet owners, keep an eye out for foxtail weeds and geese poop.
The walk to the restroom was not bad at all. The restroom and shower lights are on a timer so make sure you wave your arms or walk out every now and then. If you’re in there too long the lights will turn off automatically.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and would love to come back.

This place is great. We have stayed many places in the west including actual rooms, cabins and even campsites. This rates way up at the top and I compare it to the conservation resort town of Shoshone, Ca.
The grounds are beautiful - a lake, a fork of the Tule River running behind the cabin and a beautiful kept grounds.
The cabin itself is small, but larger than you’d need - 12x24 - with great views of the adjacent forest and river.
Thank you to the care takers for the free pizza as well!
The downside to the wilderness that is also here- ticks. Make sure you have your spray and brush yourself off. Snakes - saw a southern pacific rattler nearby. So be vigilant:.
Will stay again.

We really loved staying at this cabin right next to the edge of the river. Staff were friendly and the cabin area was completely private. We were also able to pretty freely roam with our 2 well behaved dogs on leash around their beautiful property, even as weddings were happening in other areas. We will be back!

We loved the cap site it was very quiet, staff at ranch where very nice we enjoyed the fact that we where able to take our doggie he had an amazing time, the river is so calming . you will enjoy this place hands down . you are able to bring ur grill u might want to bring an extra blanket and for ur pet as well extra layers, at night its a bit cold.
their is no internal light and Wi-Fi doesn't work their , they do have a linter that light perfectly and the outside has lights that are powered by solar witch is very nice to sit outside and have a bit of light and u are able to sit outside and see the stars at night my husband and i really enjoy that. don't get scared we didn't know what to expect at dark it gets a bit dark but ranch has lights that turn on after it gets dark so its not as dark.
P.s. take portable chargers for ur phone their is no plugs or a solar charger, if u like to watch movie download moves on a tablet or phone from Netflix or any other place u could download to watch a movie if u like at night. because the only place u could charge or get WI-FI service is in or near the barn.
But i most recommend this place is very nice if u want to get away from everything and get a bit of peace , My husband and I give it a 10 we loved it and are looking forward in visiting this gem in the woods .

Wonderful, cute little tiny house style cabin on a fun ranch. We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice and along a little stream, very relaxing and calming. Bathrooms are a short walk. The owner or manager even provided us dinner one night. It was very gracious. Would definitely come back. The biggest pro for us was that the property was pet friendly. We love traveling with our dogs.

Loved it here! It’s 2min to a small town and 20min to a bigger town. It’s clean and peaceful. I recommend bringing bug spray and taking your trash out every night as there is wildlife and ants. This is definitely glamping and we went the watering hole mentioned in another review, 10min away. Amazing time.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful and private cabin, the bathrooms were clean and close, and the owner of the ranch, Hamlet, was incredibly hospitable. We loved the town of Springville--it was small and charming, and the locals were friendly. We stopped by the restaurants for a cold drink and some air conditioning when it hit 95 degrees.
We arrived and were not greeted by the host, but instead by a young person working the wedding that was happening. Be aware, there are weddings on the property and they can get loud and go as late as 11:30pm (it is definitely a gorgeous place to have a wedding though!!). Likewise, there is a freeway through the trees as well that can be loud.
The river and swimming hole were not as pictured--the river was more of a trickling creek due to drought and the swimming hole was shallow and filled with algae. Don't plan to swim to keep cool, but do know you can ask for ice near the bathrooms. Also: bring some bug spray! The cabin was cozy but very buggy and we were glad we had our own as the one provided was empty.
Hamlet and his friends treated us to some amazingly tasty BBQ and showed us around the property. His genuine hospitality, along with the coziness and privacy of the cabin and the nice town nearby made it a trip worth taking!
Things I wish I knew beforehand!: They provide a small battery powered fan and a lantern. The cabin is much bigger than the pictures make it seem. Even though it gets hot, it's bearable.

... because I'm hoping it doesn't become so popular we can't book again!!
My husband and I spent six days and five nights on the ranch - and we came back different people in the BEST WAY EVER.
First off, Romi ... you are INCREDIBLE. Hostess with the mostest, so sincere, warm, kind, and hilarious. (Blue, it was a pleasure to meet you as well! Don't be so hard on your mom, she's not that bad. =))
The location is a tiny, (although it never felt it) electricity free cabin (although electricity is available in the barn, bathroom, and other common areas including the gazebo) situated on a ranch frequently used for weddings.
It's the definition of "glamping" as you have a running shower, restrooms, a fan, and an LED light available.
If you're used to hotel life - (you probably shouldn't be on this website, but) this isn't for you.
We spent five nights falling asleep to the sound of the creek & the property has hands down the best star gazing and bird watching I've ever seen.
We saw hummingbirds, woodpeckers, blue jays, 30 plus satellites, 18 shooting stars, the Milky Way (visible with the naked eye), one meteor (I had never seen one before but WOW was that cool), and one alien. (Not like the creature but a light that came down shined REALLY brightly (similar to a flashlight) and then disappeared upwards.
The property itself is very "instagrammable" with loads of photo opportunities, and environments. My favorite spot was underneath the big bridge at dusk where the bats would fly over and eat any mosquitos. Check out their instagram to see the shots for yourself.
My husband I knew we were stressed out, but after five nights, not only did the tension I had been experiencing for months escape my jaw, but he and I came back even closer than before with countless belly laughs over the board games we brought and on the last night (our actual anniversary) drunken karaoke outside the gazebo singing at the top of our lungs (we were alone on the property).
I can't speak highly enough about this listing.
Few things to note: In the morning, you may intermittently hear trucks from the fire going up and down the highway. Bring silicon ear plugs to fix that, or buy them at Giffords aka the market walking distance down the street.
Also, we loved this, but if you want to sleep in, make sure you bring an eye mask. The cabin gets bright early.
Go to Cowplunger for breakfast. Excellent food. And the hamburger stand for one of the best burgers I've ever had. Shout out to Verna!!
Make sure you take your trash out every day (there is a dumpster by the exit) and keep it inside your cabin. (We used little baggies.) There is a spot for recycling outside, but we made the mistake the second night of putting garbage in it and we had very aggressive scavenger like animals feasting. It's no big deal if you're used to nature (as there were also deer, possum, and skunks stopping by to say hello), but if you're not smart and do something stupid - animals will put you in your place. (I can't say I blame them.)
Due to the drought, the watering hole on the property was a little shallow. Instead we went to "Lower Coffee Camp" inside the Giant Sequoia national park. It's a left onto Highway 190 on the property and only a 5-10 minute drive away (on the right). The fee is $10 to access the watering holes (WELL WORTH IT) & if you want a private experience (like we had) park all the way to the right when you arrive and head down the paved road (walking) toward a single picnic table. Then to your left, you'll see a few boulders (small) climb down them and you'll see a secondary watering hole to the right of the "super popular one" with a shallow hole (that's what she said) and a strong current. We spent four hours in the water, and it sucked any bit of negativity out of me all while in this GORGEOUS, opulent, and private setting.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Also, check out Belch Park which is a right leaving the property onto Belch Park road. Hang another right (you'll see signs) for Bear Creek. Follow the road all the way up (about a half hour to forty minute drive) to see very large sequoias. There is also a hidden falls and other treats that we didn't have time for, but will do at our next trip to the ranch.
(FYI: You need to make sure both parks are open due to the fires and other weather related limitations. Google first.)
Happy hipcamping all!!

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and we had an awesome time! The host and the owner of the land was so friendly and welcoming! They even fed us BBQ! The cabin is secluded and you have privacy. Inside the cabin, there's a lantern, fire extinguisher, first aid kit and bug spray. The cabin is for 1 family, there was 3 of us. The bed is small only full size. If you are coming with other people, they can rent the space in front the cabin for $50/night or both of you can set up tents by the swimming hole. The location is great, you can see the sunrise and sunset! We also saw a deer in front of the cabin! It was awesome!
There's no wifi by the cabin, you have to go close to the restroom area. Only AT&T service works there so if you have something else, you wont have any signal at all (sometimes verizon does but not all the time). We had a portable radio so that was nice to use!
The stores are super close. There's a small market if you need anything, they even have meats! 2 mexican restaurants, gas station, gift shops, dog park, playground and 2 cafes. We love the Wild Oak cafe the most! Drinks are so good and their food too. Sit outside and enjoy the view, feed some birds and squirrels! You have to try their homemade ice cream (i love the fried peaches flavor)! It's the best!
The cabin was great, it's more spacious than the picture. We love the sound of the water flowing the most! We brought our butane stove for cooking and a portable toilet since the restrooms are a bit farther away. The restrooms were super clean and had everything you need including showers. The venue is huge because it used to be a horse ranch with lots of things to see, sit and walk around.
We couldnt really swim in the water because it has algae and looked dark so my 6yo son didnt want to to go in, but he played by the rocks and loved it. When we went, the air was brown due to the fires but it cleared up the next day. Because it's summer, it's a bit hot during the daytime but it was colder at night. It's probably best to go when it's cooler unless you dont mind the heat during the day. The road is close by so you could hear cars and helicopters bringing in supplies but with everything close, the cabin is pretty quiet.
The place is new (6months), so there's still lots of adjustments that can be done. Some suggestions we have is to put screens on the windows so the bugs doesnt come in when it's open and of course some fireplace for full camping experience. Right now due to fires in Cali, no open fires allowed. There's lots of space inside, I suggest putting a portable stove and cooking essentials so guests doesnt need to bring any, just butane or propane.
The patio needs a lock and the front door doesnt lock from the outside, they didnt give us a key. I would change the sofa at the back to a leather one so it's not dusty and easier to clean. It would also be helpful to have more solar lights in front and the back outside. You'll see other unfinished cabins around, they are still making more!
I would put up a sign by the entrance that "only campers are allowed" or something like that, because when we were heading back from our walk, a wedding guest was peeing by the tree close to our cabin, so not a pretty view to look at!
But overall, it was a great stay and we can't wait to go back again!

The whole place was creepy and falling apart. The windows didn’t close, so bugs were getting in anyway, the screen door was broken so we couldn’t leave the sliding door open, which then resulted in us cooking inside the cabin. Overall, the windows have a weird tint that creeps you out because you can kinda see out but not really. We left the next morning after we arrived, even though we were booked for 3days, 2nights.

Our staycation at River and mountains was very relaxing although the weather is a little bit warmer but who cares, there’s a nice bathroom we used and we stayed in a cozy cabin but they don’t have power but its okay. Overall I will recommend this hipcamp camping/glamping site to everyone. And we will definitely going back here. The host Remy and Randy(I don’t know if that’s the correct name of the couple) were very nice and accommodating. I feel like home. I love everything about the place, the wedding venue, the ponds, the river, the barn, courtyard etc. highly recommended to all happy campers and love the outdoor. 👍🏼👍🏼 2 thumbs up. Thank you Anna even If I didn’t have the chance to meet in person. Maybe next time.. we’ll see you.

Like other reviewers, part of me doesn't want to tell others how awesome this place is. Ok, I won't be that selfish! This is such a special place. I visited the little cabin during a heat wave, but I couldn't have imagined having a better trip. Romi (on site rep) was SO kind and made sure I had ice and water to stick out the heat, shared a folder of hiking recommendations in neighboring Sequoia National Forest which I took advantage of, and showed me around the ranch property, which I pretty much had to myself during the week. I heard that it can be busier at times on weekends if there are weddings on the property. Even so, the cabin is tucked away from it all on a magical little spot on the river. The purpose of my trip was to unwind and work on my writing, and the sounds of the river were the perfect backdrop. It was easy to stay cool in the swimming hole - my dog Jack and I spent an entire afternoon over there! On my last morning I saw a beautiful grey fox making his way along the river rocks. Needless to say, I was sad to leave and look forward to returning again soon.

We were welcomed warmly and given a little tour of the property by the host. The cabin on the river was a delightful refuge, with the sounds of the river as the background noise, day and night. We were visited by a bobcat and the following day a fox, who came by the river to look for refreshment. They were not interested in humans. The bathrooms are a 5 min walk away, and the swimming hole about an 8 min walk. The location is a good base for driving to see the Sequoias, California Hot Springs, hikes, and swimming holes in the area. The town of Springville is small, with limited food options.

The compound is amazing. It is a multi-use area, so they do host weddings and there are other campers as well, near the swimming hole. My wife and I enjoyed Anna’s hospitality and her staffs were also friendly and amazing. I loved their multitask of hosting us and preparing a wedding. We slept with the back door open to hear the running water, which is amazing.
For other hipcampers, make sure to bring a headlamp to walk to the bathroom at night. Also, bug spray, since we went during the Memorial Weekend, it was hot and mosquitos were out during dusk. Also, I downloaded a map of the area (Basemaps and OnX) and I had a physical map. You will loose signal and data. I encourage to visit the Sequoia National Forest which is nearby. The Sequoia National Park was 2hrs 30min, so plan accordingly when making plans.
