The Creekside Spot
Nice Garden with pitch at street
Nice spot to get rest from driving. The garden and surroundings are gorgeous! The simple ground ist directly at the street. Some more informations concerning: wifi (mobile network poor), what is allowed to use or not, could be sent or described upfront. In comparison to other spots, expensive.

Solvang Cottage Charm
This past weekend I decided to go on a weekend road trip getaway. A friend of mine told me about “Hipcamp” so I decided to try it out. I was very grateful that Lisa’s place was available on my last night out on the road. It was a reasonably priced and a charming, cute little place. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in so that was an extra plus for me.
Only thing to note is; if you book on a Tuesday night, keep in mind, the next morning gardeners will be present to maintain the property. This startled me because I had just sat down to enjoy some coffee and read a little bit before I hit the road again and was startled by the leaf blower right when I got settled in on my book. That being said, it was impossible to read at that time so I had to forgo that activity. Just be prepared that quiet during that time probably won’t happen.
Other than that, I was grateful for the space and the charming appeal it had to offer. Also, it super close to town and that was also nice.

CREEKSIDE BUNK HOUSE
Cute little bunk house. Easy to find. Nice parking area.
When we pulled out the trundle bed to prepare for the night the comforter had rat feces and urine on it. The host did immediately respond, came and took the bedding out and changed the sheets. This was very disturbing and made for an uncomfortable night.

The Creekside Spot
Not as described/Not responsive
I tried to give this host a chance, but it didn’t happen. First off this spot is not made for travel trailers. They do not have a 30amp hookup as they advertise. If you bring 200ft worth of extension cords you can connect to their barn. But, that was barely enough power to run my microwave due to the distance of the extension cords. I had to use my generator during the day and then switch to ground power at night for the quiet. Which was not fun, because I have to reboot everything every day. It will not power your AC unit at all, which was also not fun in 100° weather. I tried to message the host. No response at all through the app. Finally I text her, and she just says oh that makes sense, I should have known because we own an electric company. I’m dumbfounded they own an electric company and can’t provide electricity. She just kept saying sorry, but provided no help. What’s weird is they have a beautiful RV spot with a 50amp hookup next to the cabins, but she said I wasn’t allowed to use it. So it sat empty my entire stay as I fought for power. She finally offered a discount, but never followed through. I waited and waited and she just never responded regarding the refund she promised. I think the name of the space should be called roadside instead of Creekside. As it is 30ft from an active road close to a stop sign where people gun their engines. The dry creek bed is about 80yards away. Way over priced for what’s advertised. There is a nice dog and crickets, I enjoyed.

Wine country cabin 1
Peaceful
It looked like the photos, the bed was comfortable, and the linens were sufficient and nice. It had very limited AC for hot weather, the AC was at floor level so of limited help, and there were no screens in some of the windows so dirt was constantly flying in the windows when they were open. Kitchen was sparsely furnished. There is no TV, but we didn’t come for that. The BBQ was very dirty and covered in spider webs. We and the other guests there decided not to use it. The back area was incredibly peaceful especially at night when the cricket symphony roars its relaxing melody. The property dog, Aspen, is one of the best concierge we’ve met! He occasionally stops by to check on your stay, but is never a bother. In fact it’s a pleasant surprise. It feels very safe. The entire property is beautifully decorated, the trampoline was fun. Great location to explore the little towns around like Solvang and Los Olivos.
All in all, we did like where we stayed and would stay there again.
We stayed in a cabin and had the RV spot. That review is separate from this.
Wish we had known about Bobs Well Bread right around the corner sooner!
