Peaceful getaway / gorgeous views
We had such a nice stay at the Airstream. The view across the valley is absolutely stunning, and the scenery in the surrounding area is gorgeous (we very much enjoyed the drive to get here!)
Everything was well stocked - Grill items like tongs, foil, seasonings, basic dishes, utensils, paper towels, etc. They provided ground coffee and some sweetener, but if you are picky like me and want real sugar, bring your own. They even had a few decks of cards and a puzzle for days you need a little more to do.
A couple things to be aware of - and these are NOT complaints, just things you might want to know if you stay here:
The bathtub is glorious, as is the outdoor shower. I wish I'd had more time to sit and soak. However, it is BARELY big enough for 2 adults. We tried. It was nice for a bit, but then the water starts to drain out and there's not enough hot water to refill it and keep it hot enough. So, if you're planning a romantic bubble bath with your significant other, don't get your hopes TOOOOO high. :) All that being said, we enjoyed the little time we used it. :)
The trails around the property were wonderful, and we really enjoyed them. There are several very steep hills, though, and some areas are large, loose rocks that are a wee bit precarious. You also have to cross the creek a couple times. Granted, it stormed the night before, so the water was probably higher than normal, but the waterproof hiking boots were a good choice for this trail. The trails were also VERY well marked with laminated "you are here" maps at any point where the trail split in different directions. Super easy to read and follow.
One other tip - As far as we could tell, there was no bathroom fan, nor did the window seem to open. (it's possible we missed something). Lack of ventilation can make the entire camper fill up with rather unpleasant odors. Our solution to this was to open the camper door, and use the fan from the closet (above the trash can) to blow the air out of the camper. It seemed to do the trick. (I wish I could insert the laughing/crying emojis here).
Again - the above things are not complaints. They're just things that I think might be helpful to other people.
We loved our stay. This was a mini honeymoon for us and it was pretty perfect. Very peaceful. Bed was comfortable. It was fun discovering all the little nooks and crannies they've turned into storage. There's even a lever on the back of the bathroom mirror that makes it pop out so you can see yourself more easily.
I definitely recommend the Airstream for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Also, we had zero internet reception (Verizon) while in the area, and the lack of distraction was quite nice. :)
