Hello. My name is Tamara and my husband is Andy. We bought this place in 2022 with the goal of raising animals humanely and providing good food options to purchase at reasonable prices. After moving to Ontario I noticed there are not many good options for nighttime sleep. I fondly remember camping with our kids in a location we named Neverland. We decided we wanted to create that for people. That’s why we joined Hipcamp. We have several sites that range from close to the house and bathroom access to remote in a field with the sounds of the creek to lull you to sleep. To increase safety and aid in positive memory making, only one group is allowed at a time. We have lots of space so whether you are a lone traveler, a family, or a group of friends looking to make memories consider staying with us and our animals. We generally have goats, chickens, and pigs. From July to October, we often have pheasants. This year we do not so I can do repairs to the small coop. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.
Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. There is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present.
A small, creek runs through the front of the property year-round. Water is clearer during the winter and spring months. The spots I have cleared in this area are small. I recommend tent camping in this area. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field; they are shy. We have goat treats available for sale if you would like to feed them.
Oregon has an invasive, poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant. If you wander along the creek, you will encounter it.

Temperature Control:
The decking is insulated underneath to help with the cold winters. When the sun is out on a warm day the yurt will heat up nicely through the dome and can be cooled by opening the windows, the dome, and running the ceiling fan. Also keeping the outside windows up keeps the heat out if you get to hot.
the yurt is equipped with a mini-split w/remoted, allowing personalized temperature control.
Kitchen:
We have everything you need to cook a meal at your home away from home. Refrigerator w/freezer, 2 burner cooktop, microwave, Keurig, and toaster oven. Have all the basics from napkins, plates, silverware, cooking supplies, spices, flour, sugar etc. Don’t feel like cooking then head down to the local bar & restaurant for a nice meal, drink, and meet some locals.
Living Room:
Inside is a quaint living area with a couch where guests can gather, unwind, and enjoy the yurt!. There is no TV but feel free to use the wireless internet for your own devices. Take the time to enjoy being unplugged from the everyday hustle and bustle of life.

Hello. My name is Tamara and my husband is Andy. We bought this place in 2022 with the goal of raising animals humanely and providing good food options to purchase at reasonable prices. After moving to Ontario I noticed there are not many good options for nighttime sleep. I fondly remember camping with our kids in a location we named Neverland. We decided we wanted to create that for people. That’s why we joined Hipcamp. We have several sites that range from close to the house and bathroom access to remote in a field with the sounds of the creek to lull you to sleep. To increase safety and aid in positive memory making, only one group is allowed at a time. We have lots of space so whether you are a lone traveler, a family, or a group of friends looking to make memories consider staying with us and our animals. We generally have goats, chickens, and pigs. From July to October, we often have pheasants. This year we do not so I can do repairs to the small coop. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.
Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. There is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present.
A small, creek runs through the front of the property year-round. Water is clearer during the winter and spring months. The spots I have cleared in this area are small. I recommend tent camping in this area. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field; they are shy. We have goat treats available for sale if you would like to feed them.
Oregon has an invasive, poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant. If you wander along the creek, you will encounter it.

The Space:
The Blue Yurt is a charming unique mountain getaway on nearly 2 acres. Has large deck with room to BBQ, sit, and relax. This Yurt is the perfect getaway for the family, romantic weekend, or a base camp for your outdoor adventures.
About the Yurt:
The 30’ yurt came from Pacific Yurts in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The yurt was erected in 2022 and in 2023 we added all the rooms and beautiful woodwork inside. It is on a Kiln Dried Tongue and Groove decking. Yurts are designed to withstand cold winters and this one is no exception.
Temperature Control:
The decking is insulated underneath to help with the cold winters. When the sun is out on a warm day the yurt will heat up nicely through the dome and can be cooled by opening the windows, the dome, and running the ceiling fan. Also keeping the outside windows up keeps the heat out if you get to hot.
the yurt is equipped with a mini-split w/remoted, allowing personalized temperature control.
Kitchen:
We have everything you need to cook a meal at your home away from home. Refrigerator w/freezer, 2 burner cooktop, microwave, Keurig, and toaster oven. Have all the basics from napkins, plates, silverware, cooking supplies, spices, flour, sugar etc. Don’t feel like cooking then head down to the local bar & restaurant for a nice meal, drink, and meet some locals.
Living Room:
Inside is a quaint living area with a couch where guests can gather, unwind, and enjoy the yurt!. There is no TV but feel free to use the wireless internet for your own devices. Take the time to enjoy being unplugged from the everyday hustle and bustle of life.

This place granted such peace of mind as a solo female traveler who was car camping. Having access to the bathroom and getting to take a shower for a small fee was great. I ended up parking by the house to be close to the bathroom but was able to be on the other side of a shed to be out of direct view from the house. Such beautiful land and felt very safe, especially with the gated driveway. It was so nice to have animals around, and there were no issues with them making noise at night. The host gave me my space but was lovely to chat with when she was around and I always felt like I could let her know of any issues.

Our family had a great time here. It's a beautiful and quiet place where we got to see and hear the horses. We enjoyed the fire pit at the campsite, as well as the large grassy field just beyond the campsite. It was convenient to have our camp trailer plugged in, and to fill our water tank right there too. We used this as our base camp for daily trips to the various towns and nearby activities.

I had a very comfortable and peaceful stay at Micone Ranch. Tamara was very helpful and communicative, and I felt so welcomed staying with her. The site is private, has convenient amenities, and is quiet all night. They have lots of animals on site, but I was not bothered by any noise at all. This is a great stop for a solo traveler or a group, and I would highly recommend it!

Great location that’s within walking distance of downtown restaurants, bars and shops but also in a quiet part of town.

We loved our stay on Tamara and Andy’s property! There are multiple locations to stay at and you can choose any that speaks to you. We opted for the spot next to the lamppost with power (didn’t hook up) that was next to their driveway. The have a bunch of adorable goats and a handful of baby ones that were just over four weeks old. Tamara invited us to play with the baby goats to socialize them and that was just a happy bonus. Super quiet evening and they have a bathroom you can use in a sectioned off part of their house. Just a great spot to spend some time and one we would highly recommend!

Loved watching the newborn goats kidding around and the antics of watching mom rush to a hungry kid.

This is the first time our family has revisited a Hipcamp location that we’d stayed at before. We enjoyed our second visit and will likely continue to visit in the future as it is a beautiful location for a weekend getaway near Boise.
Wade’s yurt is great because it is clean, well stocked with supplies for cooking, and it has an electric heater/AC plus a wood burning stove, so we sleep comfortably when we visit during the winter.
The yurt also has board games, a disc golf hole + frisbees, a corn hole game, a grill, and chairs for around the fire pit.
The outhouse has been freshly cleaned both times we’ve visited as well.
The first time there was tons of snow and my kids enjoyed sledding down the hill on site. This year there was no snow, so we spent an afternoon soaking at Kirkham hot springs instead! Regardless of the season, this is a relaxing place to spend a couple days.
