Incredible place and vibes, I love all the animals that were here!
Booked 2 nights tent spot for USD 50 when i arrived everything was closed and signs private property, so i left, afterwords i get an e-mail from Matt i explained bit never had a reaction or my 50 dollar back.
My stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The horses are beautiful and friendly, I even got to feed them. The host's warm hospitality and attention to detail made my trip truly memorable. He even has water guns for the pool! Great place to go when visiting Sequoia National Park.
Really friendly, cute and environmentally responsible campground with some tiny cabins as well for more comfort. Heaps of space for setting up your tent wherever you feel to have your space.
Matt is a great host and is doing a beautiful job developing this quite special place that compensates with love and charm some of the basicalities of it.
The shower is really original, and an experience to shower under the stars!
A bit basic toilets, but nicely taken care of to feel fairly comfortable.
All the animals are easy going and fun to be around.
There is a cool outodoor pool, a big communal fire pit and kitchen/bbq area.
Definitely a place to repeat!
