Shakti Cabin + tent sites
Exactly what we were looking for; we wanted a step above car camping where we could spend a night or two under the stars and surrounded by nature. The Shakti cabin was just that.
The host was very welcoming and waited up past their usual check in time to greet us in the dark. The property is well maintained with trails to get you to the cabin which is surrounded by sage brush. The cabin was clean and with a little propane heater we were perfectly warm at night. It rained the second night and we were nice and dry. The cooking set up gives a nice little area to prep food and heat up coffee in the morning to enjoy on the front porch. The bathroom was clean and we had plenty of hot water.
Julian is a Dark Sky community and this was a perfect spot to sit and stare at the stars next to the fire. My absolute favorite part of the stay was the dog, Sage who came to greet us in the mornings.
If you’re looking for a quiet place to spend time in nature with a few added creature comforts, this is the spot.

Had a really wonderful weekend with the Janel and Stu. They were very accommodating for my weekend stay with my friend Richard. It was a very nice to be in this space as we needed time to digress and relax, and the stay was fantastic.
Packing light is recommended as the cabin is a bit of a distance, and although we needed everything we brought, there is a little ways to get to the cabin. The hosts offered a cart and help, but we figured we could handle it on our own. There are lots of rocks and it's hilly at times, and the cart was hard to pull. It was a lot of muscle work to get our things to and from the cabin. Although the hike to the cabin is beautiful to walk on... Maybe a proper paved pathway would be so useful. They mentioned it is a work in progress, so maybe in time this will be easier to get to.

Shiva Cabin + Tentsite
We stayed in the Shiva cabin/campsite on a cold and slightly rainy weekend! We'd stayed in similar hybrid campsites before and had a really lovely time at this site. Notes that might be helpful for future glampers:
-Hosts were very communicative and responded quickly to any questions/concerns
-Provided a wagon for getting items to and from the cabin (yes, there is a brief uphill portion)
-Hosts set up tent and blankets for campers getting in late!
-Other cabin/site was visible and at times audible but certainly better than most campgrounds
-Brought our own sleeping bags for the cabin, which was needed for the cold weekend
-Wood-burning outdoor fireplace was lovely for aesthetics but not exactly warm
-Cabin battery ran out by the third day – maybe an issue for anyone relying on the mini fridge or lamps
-One smaller pot and one pan on barbecue grill, so plan your meals accordingly. No lids – we used plates as lids to speed-up cooking.
-Urine-diverting toilet was a puzzle for anything other than pee...
Hope this is helpful! Overall, really great trip in a wonderful, peaceful location!

HELLYA (MOON) CABIN
Awesome property - it was very peaceful & easy to find! Not only were Stuart & Janel extremely kind, but they also thought of everything. I wouldn't change a thing about the site & will certainly be back again!

We loved camping here. Nice little outdoor spot, for my family of 4. You’ll definitely need a tent if you have over 2 people.
Private land. Fun little creek for the kids and plenty close to everything in-town.
Its a bit of a hike, to the camp ground so pack light.
Have fun. We did.

This is the first time leaving a review and unfortunately i have to do it.
Staying at this cabin was terrible experience for me. There was no lock on a cabin and no description about that! I was staying alone and i just had a horrific first night at the cabin. I felt very unsafe and i kept hearing noise as someone was approaching my cabin, i could not sleep at all! There was no way of me locking myself or blocking the doors. I was praying all night to see the light of day. The next day I tried to calm myself and I tried giving a cabin another chance but even during the day i had an very strange feeling, i did not have any peace and I just had to leave immediately, just a thought of spending another night there gave me chills. I am very sad how everything turned out because i had payed and took time to go to this cabin with goal to relax and reflect but unfortunately i experienced the worst night of my life.
