Amazing stay!
This is a perfect person for vacation and longer stay. The place is easy to find, and secure. The view is amazing, facilities super new: jacuzzi, hot shower, filtered water, electricity, WiFi, kitchen tools, electric blanket in the tent. Robert welcomes us on the day of arrival, showed us around. Prepared coffee in the morning, 100% recommend to others.

The Hydrangea Room
A true Oasis
Great place. The lush landscape over the sweeping valley view is immediately restful. We loved the unique touches like the fully appointed outdoor kitchen, terraced hot tub, and of course hanging out with the resident affectionate burro. More so, Robert is such a great guy and caring host.

Safari Tent
Robert has an amazing property that he is gracious to share with others on Hipcamp! The views of the rolling hills, the dark sky full of stars, the easy to use fire pit for s’mores, the friendly dogs and horses, the well thought out kitchen and bathroom area, and the luxurious tents all make this a special stay. To top it all off, Robert was an extremely friendly host. He was more than happy to share recommendations for the surrounding area, made coffee for the whole camp every morning, and did everything he could to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. If you are ever near California’s central coast, do yourself a favor and stay on Robert’s property, you will not regret it!

Safari Tent
Perfect weekend getaway
Our stay at Traveler's Ranch in the Safari Tent was amazing! Robert was a great host. He greeted us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. Amazing all around! The view of the hills from the heated infinity pool to the freshly picked vegetables that we used for dinner was everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The Safari Tent was perfect. Comfortable bed with plenty of space for luggage and accessible power outlets. The Safari Tent is right next to the shared bathroom, kitchen and fire pit which was perfect. An ideal location for a relaxing weekend getaway. Thank you Robert!

Safari Tent
Absolutely fantastic experience
Absolutely fantastic cozy location tucked up in the warmth of the Aptos hills. We loved our experience so much we never left Robert’s property during our stay. He was such an wonderful host, he even picked fresh vegetables from his gorgeous garden for us. We came for a work-cation and had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. It was such a rejuvenating trip, and Robert was such a warm host, we’re already planning our next “work trip” next month : ) We’ll be back!
