Weekend Trip to Caravan Outpost - Ojai Oasis!

Lovely spot. So well thought out and cared for. I had always wanted to see the inside of an airstream, so this was a very special experience. Great location for getting around town.

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Mountain Cabin

Gigi was an absolutely lovely host to us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. She was incredibly accommodating and very helpful to us. She was communicative and provided plenty of resources on things to do in the area that we might enjoy. The cabin was lovely and had provided everything we needed to make our stay pleasant.

2 nights at Peaceful Mountain Cabin

Peaceful and quiet . Gigi is a lovely respectful host. She provided everything we needed and brought us extra blankets as the temperature dropped at night. We enjoyed visiting her farm animals and playing with her beautiful dogs. We especially liked that the cabin space was fenced and secure for our dogs,, they loved being off leash and free to roam around in a safe place. We were able to enjoy dinner cooked over a wood fire and the star viewing was amazing. We plan to visit again.
