Learn more about this land: Very remote off grid barn with an outhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees, and small vineyard that I make wine from. There's a creek that runs through the property with Indian grinding holes and arrow heads to be found. We also have volleyball, horseshoes, hiking trails, and much more! You will be in gold country where you can still find gold in the creek to this day! If you're lucky, you might find a nugget, but there's mostly pickers and fines. You'll always get color in your pan after a day of panning.  The nights are absolutely stunning for viewing the stars with no light pollution.  You will have almost complete privacy, with the exception of an occasional over head aircraft.Very remote off grid barn with an outhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees, and small vineyard that I make wine from.

Very private, great host
My wife and I and our four dogs loved Scott’s land and all he’s created on it. We could have pitched a tent but chose to stay in the pop-up trailer right by the stream. the dogs explored the stream, the barn, and surrounding area, and they loved the swimming hole a couple minutes upstream. The set up is amazing, with running water, a propane grill, a flush toilet and even a hot water shower. The only problem we encountered was very many wasps at breakfast time; I’d advise bringing a screened tent, or eat meals around a campfire to keep them away. Scott was a great host who showed us around, explained helpful details about the solar lights and water, and gave us many options about where we could sleep. Great weekend.

Remote Gem: A Tranquil Barn Stay
Set in the heart of nature, this retreat provided the perfect setting for a long-overdue catch-up with friends. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary getaway. The serenity of the surroundings, with the soothing sound of running water, felt like a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host, Scott, warmly welcomed us and patiently waited as we took a wrong turn. He guided us safely across the creek and gave us a tour of the property, which we greatly appreciated. Despite the rainy weekend, it only added to the charm; we weren't bothered by it at all. The sound of rain with the crackling fire, created a truly magical atmosphere. Despite being in a remote location inside a barn, we felt like we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was simply being away from the distractions of everyday life – whether sharing stories by the fire, engaging in deep conversations, climbing the tree fort, or hiking through the rain-soaked landscape, everything felt magical. As we were packing our bags, a strong urge to return soon washed over us. This place has a magical energy that deeply resonated with us, and we will definitely come back.

Scott was so fantastic! Super responsive and helpful with directions. The site was incredible. Definitely want to come back with more people in the future! The mini-farms were so lush and there could be nothing better than biting into an apple by the fire late at night. Amazing to trek along with the river!
