The "Living on the Hard" sailboat
Uniquely Perfect!
This camping experience truly had it all: close proximity to water, farm animals to admire, cool sleeping arrangements, fire pit, just enough seclusion, beautiful weather, plentiful photo ops and incredible stargazing! We stayed for 2 nights in March and it was just enough time to have a full day exploring, to cook on the campfire a few times and to see 2 sunsets & 2 sunrises. I am NOT a big camping person, and this spot made it easy for me to settle in and enjoy my time. Helpful tips for future folks who stay here - bring a head lamp, many layers (to wear and for bedding/sleeping), and chairs to use while sitting around the fire! I also would recommend that if 2 people are sleeping together in the main sleeping space, that they be very comfortable with being cozy. My 6'3/270 lb male fiance and I (5'4, 150 lb female) fit perfectly, but anyone larger than that combo may have a tough time. All in all, if you are thinking about staying here, just book it! You will have a memorable and relaxing time on Esteban's beautiful land!

The "Living on the Hard" sailboat
I loved staying in this boat. So romantic! The views are beautiful. My dog was interested in meeting the goats and horses. It’s definitely rustic and very private feeling, but still close to the highway and a little town. The drive up is really pretty too. I slept comfortably on the memory foam mattress on the bed. Played cards at the little table inside. Esteban was very responsive and understanding when I had to leave a day early. I will definitely be back.

The "Living on the Hard" sailboat
Escape to the Southern Sierras!
Perfect for anyone looking for a novelty experience in nature, no matter which site you book. It's rustic but cozy, with probably the biggest perk being the views. It was pretty memorable to clink our drinks and play cards in the cabin of a sailboat, then wake to a sunrise coming up over the peaks of the Sierras right outside. Unreal!
From there you can go say hello to the horses and goats, then walk down to the river access close by. There seem to be an infinite number of things to do here despite the surrounding area being quiet. We'd definitely come back for a weekend escape. Thank you to Esteban for this wonderful experience!
