Artemis, Cozy Tent in the Redwoods, Pure Gold

To contact host with questions, please email artemistentrr@gmail.com for a quick response. Artemis is a private cozy tent with a wood-burning stove, queen bed with full bedding, with lots of animals around the property. Fires are allowed inside and out! There is no cell service at the site. This campsite is steps away from stunningly beautiful hiking, bicycling and horse trails in the redwoods that open up to the ocean and Santa Cruz mountain views to the west; to the east is a working farm with an orchard, chickens, baby goats, one horse, one baby horse, one pony, and a wild Kiger mustang that may be grazing near your site. It is a roughly 4 mile hike or ride to the ocean from the tent. The house is not far from the site, but the tent is still very private. There is a platform in the redwood stand behind the tent with an extra toilet and place to hang the solar shower (which is sunning on a chair 30 yards away in the orchard). Behind that campers will find the gate to the park, and the trail which is just beyond the gate. Either direction is beautiful. Very important: during non-fire season, in order to make a fire in the interior tent stove, you must bring your own VERY dry kindling, LOTS of paper and wood. We have wood on site, but during the winter months it is sometimes too damp for this stove. Start small, be patient, it takes skill for any stove like this when it's cold. For parties over 2 campers, there are two blow up camping mats under the bed, along with the smaller canvas tent. The pumps are in the right cabinet next to the bed. DIRECTIONS- From Santa Cruz, follow Empire grade up about 1.5 miles and turn left at the big blue colorfully painted mailboxes, you'll see 2215 on the tree and a hazard triangle. Go straight past the stop sign for a quarter-mile (take road slow, very bumpy), turn left at the little blue truck before the house at the Tentrr sign, follow to the end of the wood chip road (100 yards, 20 yards from the tent). There is no cell service at the site.
