A cute stand-alone cottage (sleeps 2) — one large room with a queen bed and sitting area, fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave) and a bathroom with a shower. Perfect for couples or solo travelers looking to unplug without venturing too far from the coast or city. Just like glamping in a tiny house with A/C, wi-fi, and all the modern conveniences. Whether stargazing, harvesting seasonal fruit, hiking, or simply enjoying the quiet, all of us need a restorative escape from everyday life.

A large living room, private backyard, fully-equipped kitchen, and so much more…(currently not available)

What a relaxing farm stay in California means to us:
For us, enjoying a farm stay in California means going on long walks in the countryside, indulging in avocado toast, making fresh-squeezed lemonade, eating oranges, grapefruit, tangerines right off the tree.
It also means breathing in the fresh air, and being surrounded by a unique combination of palms, pines, citrus, avocado and eucalyptus groves. Walking up the hill to take in the beautiful sunset on the rolling hills overlooking California farmland.
