Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
When I closed my Glamping Business in Big Sur, CA, in 2016 I was looking for a new place to call home and the universe told me to check out Southern Oregon. Being German, I fell in love with the Applegate Valley because it reminds me of the German Alp Region of Algovia ("Allgaeu"). We are a tiny community here on my 7 acres of land including a couple of sweet dogs. My favorite spot ever since I discovered this property has been the barn and I have finished renovating it during Covid Lockdown. I am looking forward to hosting people who love nature and the quiet, who would like to unplug from the urban bustle and who have a passion for design and unconventional living spaces. I think you will love staying here and enjoying the amenities that are waiting for you. I look forward to welcoming you!

If you play the guitar, feel free to bring it along, we have had fun times with small gatherings in the evenings on the patio. Please note: I live here and so you will see me around daily, usually I tend the gardens or you can find me around the barn. However, I will respect your privacy! The dogs who live on the property are usually free roaming and they will for sure come visit you, they are all friendly. I am emphasizing this, because if you are scared of dogs, are not used to dogs or do not like dogs, my place (unfortunately) might not be the right spot for you :-(.Mountain Views on Private Property in the Heart of the Applegate Valley.

New 2023: I added two small flat spots with partial tree shade for tent set-up :-). The CamperVan/RV site is a large flat area, a bit further down the hill from the barn (2 minutes walk, make sure to wear good shoes and have a flash light with you - terrain is a bit uneven). You can pick and chose your favorite spot, just know that a second party might camp down there as well, but the space is large enough to get privacy ;-)There could be possibly up to 3 parties camping at the same time.

Guests consistently praise the stunning views, especially the sunsets, and enjoy the inviting communal spaces like the renovated barn with its outdoor kitchen and dining area. Caroline's warmth and hospitality, along with her friendly dogs, add to the sense of comfort and community. The outdoor shower and peaceful setting make for a relaxing stay, although some guests noted the walk to the facilities may be challenging for those with mobility issues.

I stayed 2 nights at the dispersed camping site. I felt safe and enjoyed the quiet. It requires to walk up to the beautiful barn to access the outdoor shower & toilets, where the patio with amazing views is also located. Everything was better than I was expecting and C was very easy to communicate with. I appreciate it was pet friendly. I’d stay again.

Beautifully Designed & Amazing Host
16 ft car
Caroline was an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. She was incredibly friendly, detailed in her instructions, and genuinely cared about my experience, even inviting me into her beautifully designed space. We had a lovely long talk over a sunset dinner on the patio, amongst the lavender field, which was a highlight of my trip. The camping clearing was quiet and well-maintained, and I was especially grateful for the hot water shower. The entire barn was stunningly renovated and the gardens were gorgeous, showcasing Caroline's talent as an artist/designer. Her warmth and hospitality made me feel truly welcome, safe (I was a solo female traveler) and I can't wait to return.

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the property and views!! It was really nice to have the barn for shade and cooking. I really loved the creative decorations. Dining at the barn for sunset was a highlight. Caroline is a gracious host, very thoughtful and respectful. Really enjoyed meeting her. We will certainly be back!!
