Mixed feelings. I had a good time but I will say the posting is not accurate. WiFi isn't available, I reached out about it and didn't get a response. In the photos they show a two burner stove in the covering, not there. The Christmas lights in the vardo didn't work. The fridges were pretty gross and the blue section for the vardo area of the fridge had a big glass container of like moldy potatoes. The first morning there I was cooking breakfast and 5 dogs ran into the covering of my site where my dog was. If there had been any mention of dogs free roaming the grounds I would not have booked. My dog can be very protective of me so I try to avoid interacting with other people's dogs when possible. I reached out to Nicollete and she apologized and said she would keep them away. This was true for the most part but there were 2 dogs that kept coming in. I also overheard her tell the husband and he did not sound pleased. I left really early the next morning so I could pack up and avoid them letting all 5 out again. Beautiful view. Wish the posting had mentioned anything about dogs and that the listing was more accurate.

Rustic and disapponting.

My daughter and I were really excited about staying the night in this fairy-like cabin. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain outside, which was only made worse by the fact that there were no instruction before or upon arriving about where to go except, "Head straight to site" and "Park at listing". The cabin is behind other buildings and a few seeming entrances/parking that are overgrown with bushes, so it's really hard to tell where to go. This place is a communal camping area with both other listings and seasonal visitors who I assume work on the hemp farm that is mentioned in the instructions in the cabin. Again, this wouldn't have been a problem if there was more up front descriptions of the rental. The cabin itself reeked of stale Febreeze, which was suprising in this natural hippie atmosphere. Perhaps naively I expected there to be linens, AGAIN, if there had been any sort of useful description on the listing I would've brought them. The door to the cabin does not close completely, which felt like we would be mosquito bait. The bed is VERY small because it goes across vs. lengthwise. All the decorations are power-stapled. The trailer itself wasn't level, so I had to shove things I had under the mattress so I didn't feel like I was going to fall out. OK place, but a bit rundown. Definitely not as "cute and pretty" as photographed. I don't understand all the positive reviews, and there was no sign of the host as people happily mention. Happy we there only one night.

The problem was hip camp. The owner was very gracious when I texted her and let me know that she has pause the site and is no longer excepting vacancies. The Hipcamp website decided not to let me know, and my wife and I traveled out of our way to get there at the moment I am trying to get a refund from Hipcamp, but can’t reach them because of the robot system. Might have to go back to Airbnb instead of Hipcamp.

My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Nicolette’s place. She has a really nice set up there. We ended up spending more time than we intended there, just because it was such a nice spot. We’d definitely recommend her place to friends.

A unique stay with personality

Nicolette's whole set up was super fun, multiple units close together--but each with its own personality--and an outdoor kitchen as well as outdoor showers! Nicolette was super gracious as our booking was meant to be canceled and wasn't; not only did she still allow us to stay but she also upgraded us! Definitely stay here for a unique and tranquil experience made better by cool people.

Nice enough

The space was nice enough, but for charging $55 a night, it really should be clean (trashcans emptied, space swept, etc.). There were cat treats all over our room and the trash was overflowing with beer cans. I think this place could be awesome if a little more effort was put into its maintenance/guest experience.
