We loved our stay on Steffny's property! We received a warm greeting upon arrival. Our campsite was very cute, cozy, and private. The bathroom facilities are in the main house and kept very clean! The lavender garden was beautiful! The only draw back was that there were several small caterpillars in the tent at any given time and we squished one that fell on our bed while sleeping. Overall, would certainly stay there again!

I had an amazing stay at the number 2 tent site. The tent was comfortable and has a succulent view. Waking up surrounded by nature and seeing the sunrise right outside of the tent made it a perfect getaway. Highly recommend for a relaxing and unique experience!

Steffnyâs land was very nice and she was very welcoming! The glamping tent was nice and cool (on a hot weekend) and the bed was comfortable. We loved saying hi to the pets, especially the sweet cat. We would definitely stay again.

Such an amazing campsite, matched only by how lovely the host Steffny is! Absolutely loved staying here and only have good things to say. The tent and surroundings are beautifulâ Steffnyâs lavender farm is perched on the side of a mountain with stunning vistas and star viewing. Itâs also a close drive to Montgomery Forest and Lake Mendocino. More than anything, Steffny herself is so kind and welcoming. Canât wait to stay here again.

We loved Steffny's property. The tent was cute and clean. The land was beautiful, and Steffny was so welcoming and lovely. Do yourself a favor if you stay and wake up early enough to watch the sunrise over the mountains; it's magical. We will be returning.

The site was amazing and everything we needed for a quick getaway from SF. Our Australian sheperd, Cloud loved Steffny and had the time of his life running around the lavender farm and the trails around the property. The farm pups and cat were also very welcoming. Steffny was an amazing host and we can't wait to organize another visit to Ukiah.

Steffny's lavender farm is a special place. Site 1 had wonderful views and it is a great spot to hang out on the deck and read a book. The canvas tent did a great job of keeping out bugs and the bed and linen were comfy and nice. The sound of the crickets and birds was magic. It was a short walk (100 yards or so) to the house where there was a nice bathroom and shower to use. Steffny is beyond a terrific host and even gave us extra cucumbers from her garden. Really relaxing getaway and redwood trees and Orr Hot Springs are just a few minutes down the road.

We had an absolutely incredible weekend here. Stefnny and her adorable dogs greeted us and made us feel right at home right from the beginning. Our setup was beyond our expectations (and far better than some hotels we've stayed at) with a spacious porch, comfortable bed, and lovely decorations. An added bonus was hanging out with the farm's sweet tabby cat.
Surrounded by golden rolling hills, trees, and the peaceful sounds of nature, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing experience. And in the evening, pairing the cricket songs with the night's sky and blanket of stars -- we loved every moment.

I didnât expect that just running away for the weekend would turn into a dream vacation. Iâm still not sure it was real. The other guestsâ reviews say it all better than I can. I must say, "I miss you, beautiful tent at Running Creek Ranch" and "I miss you, Gumdrop, my tiny frog friend". But seriously, the real "star" is the host!!!! The accommodations could not have been more perfect!

What an incredible experience. So quiet and peaceful. The perfect relaxing get away. Steffnyâs property is absolutely gorgeous, and she is an amazing host. She helped us down to our tent with all of our stuff, and was very attentive. Great communication prior to us arriving, as well as when we were staying there. Everything was clean and kept up. Needless to say, we were very happy with our accommodations, and our stay on Steffnyâs property. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful land. I enjoyed the seclusion and shade of spot #2 down the hill. Comfortable bed, friendly cat visitor, and a nice bathroom and hot shower not too far away (it would be a bit steep uphill for those with mobility issues). Love the location near Orr Hot Springs and Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve- a must visit!

This lavender farm is an utterly magical and deeply healing place. The views are stunning, the scents are beyond intoxicating, and Steffny is so warm and inviting - sheâs the ultimate host. Sheâs decorated everything to perfection and it couldnât be a more comfortable escape. Iâm eternally grateful for my time there, and hope to go back very soon.

A quick 2 night stay; with a wonderful sunrise turning into a rainy next day and night. It was dry and reminiscent of back yard camping in the cozy tent and luxurious bed. Listening to rain on the tent was mesmerizing, as the valley was filled with fog and it felt surreal to be remote yet protected.

Let me start off with saying, we will 100% be back and with friends. Steph and Alan are the nicest host and have a beautiful property. I've been dying to visit this site for the past 3 years and I'm kicking myself for not booking it earlier!
The site is just as described and they even provide a little table for your connivence which saved us from brining ours. Alan was kind enough to help us bring all our stuff to site #2 and back when we left.
Good to know
- The site is about 20 minutes from town
- Follow Steph's directions after booking, it'll get you to the house better than Google maps
- Bring water jugs or something to hold your water
- There was no service once we left Ukiah, plan accordingly
Things to do near by
- Visit Montgomery Woods State Reserve (a very close drive)
- Oor hot springs (book well in advance, also vert close)
- Visit Ukiah (they have a cute downtown and a brewery)
- Visit a local winery near by
- Stargaze, the stars were unbelievable

We booked a stay at Running Springs Ranch for my wifeâs birthday, and it was everything we needed and more. They provide a clean and cutely decorated tent, a SUPER comfy bed, and picturesque views. The bathroom was clean, which was so nice to have since it gets quite dusty out there. Their property is super dog friendly as well, which our pup lovedddd.
Itâs not often we get to experience something so special! The property is also a fully functioning lavender farm. Make sure you take advantage of the experiences Steffny offersâ you will learn more about the land youâre staying on and will make your visit that much more magical. Itâs *not* just a regular Hipcamp, itâs much, much more (and Iâll leave it at that hehe). We felt so welcome from the moment we drove up to when we left. Itâs like we were leaving an old friendâs home and didnât want to leave, honestly!
Donât hesitate and book now! Weâll definitely be back!

What a beautiful spot! Incredible views, lovely hosts & even with most lavender harvested it smelled amazing. If you want some peace & quiet, this is the place!
No cooking facilities (as advertised) and town is quite a drive, so plan accordingly. The bed was so comfy, and itâs such a luxury to have a fully appointed bathroom available when c/glamping.

We had a fantastic stay! Inside the tent was well furnished and the bed was very comfortable. Alan was kind to bring our belongs down the hill to our tent site. However, if you dont like walking up a hill to get to the bathrooms, then i suggest you stay in camp site #1 which is much closer to the main house. Overall a beautiful property up in the mendocino mountains surrounded by a beautifil lavender field!

This Hipcamp was absolutely amazing! We were two families with 4 kids and we all had a ball. Allen and Steffny are such wonderful people and so accommodating. Allen even agreed to show us the whole process of lavender oil extraction. Our toddler recounts that as his highlight of the trip and that says it all. Thank you Allen and Steffny for your hospitality:)

This was my husband and Iâs second time staying at Running Springs Ranch and we already canât wait to go back. The first time we came by ourselves but this time we came with our two friends who stayed in the other tent. The peacefulness at this site is unmatched! We spent the day at the ranch which was so nice. Alan and Steffny were so welcoming and kind. From rolling mountains and the incredible view from your deck, to the sunset spot they recommend to us around the corner from the ranch to stargazing and seeing the milky way with SO many shooting stars!! We canât wait to make another trip out there.

We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at their beautiful Lavender Ranch, everything was perfect! The lavender that they grow smells so amazing that we had to purchase some dried lavender bundles and some of their wonderful homemade lavender spray to being back with us đ
Thank you so much Steffny and Alan! đż
