in Bliss Mountain, CaliforniaNot pristine but good for the price
Sophia C.has mixed feelings towards this listing.
In general, this was a fine place to spend a weekend at a VERY reasonable price (a steal, to be honest), and during the brief meeting we had with Hallelujah he seemed a friendly host. We didn't end up using the hot tub because it was a sweltering weekend, so I can't comment on that experience. Just a couple of things that would have made our stay nicer:
- The futon was tricky to figure out, so an instruction sheet would have been very helpful (I slept on it only partially unfolded the first night, which didn't work very well).
- The A/C unit works ok to cool the common spaces, but with 100+ degree weather, the bedrooms remained blistering hot. A few portable fans to help move air around the home would go a long way toward making it more comfortable on really hot days, and enable guests to turn off the A/C and cool the house with fresh air at night.
- The kitchen was functional but a bit grimy. Everything seemed covered in a film of grease. May not bother some, but I felt it could use a good deep clean.
Past trip
Redwood Grove Tent Platform
in Redwood Retreat, CaliforniaThis is a gem of a spot! The permaculture farm is so cool, and the camping spots in the redwood grove are magical. Blue the dog and the (name unknown) cat are friendly as can be and so adorable. I wish Iâd been able to stay more than one night and had gotten to talk to Hope about the farm. If rain is in the forecast for your stay, be aware that the tent platform will NOT keep your tent dry on the bottom even though itâs elevated, and that itâs a little walk from the campsites to your car.
