Cute Glamping
Cute rustic accommodations in a gorgeous area. We are campers so used to doing with less, but the price point for the accommodation does not fit. I would have been willing to pay half the cost but not worth what we did pay

It is unfortunate this guest did not feel the the price point fit the accommodations. I would just like to say, this was an already discounted nightly rate of $145 which for a stay at a private guest ranch in Southern CA, outside of Los Angeles, in the Santa Monica Mountain and close to the beaches, is definitely on the lower price side. While we have several other accommodations on the ranch which are higher end, many people choose our Vintage Airstream for not only the experience on the ranch and the endless views of the mountains/sunsets but also because of lower rates. It is a choice to make. In any event, we do take our business and our client satifaction very seriously so had the guest told us of their unhappiness, we would have been happy to upgrade if available, to a different accommodations at no extra cost.

Absolutely Charming!
Slept so well up in the fresh clean air and woke up feeling like I was glam camping way out in nature! It's such a cozy and charming place to get away from the city hustle and bustle ☺️ Loved It!

Slightly misleading
Our stay in the airstream was not what we thought it would be. It was much older and run down then it looked in the photos. We booked the airstream for 2 nights but only stayed for 1. Meggan was awesome about working with us to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. She offered a stay in one of her other amazing luxury glamping sites but we had already booked a hotel for the night. I would highly recommend a stay in her covered wagon or safari tent. They looked to be much nicer then the air stream. There are so many cute animals on her property and the saloon was so cool!

It is so frustrating when guests make a complaint after the fact and don’t even give us a chance to fix the situation. We are sorry there was a smell and you were cold for the one night you stayed with us. These could have been so easily remedied had you just told us. There are two heaters in the Vintage Airstream and we would have been happy to bring over another if you were having problems with either. As for the smell, my husband did do a clean out that day which I’m afraid there is a possibility he might have left a value open outside, again an easy fix. We live right next door and could have been there in 1 minute. This is the first 1 STAR we have ever received out of four Airbnb’s that We own and manage. Perhaps you have not stayed in an RV before thus such an extreme reaction. This is my business and my livelihood so I take it and customer satisfaction very seriously. It’s a pity you would leave such a review and rating without saying anything to us. I urge any potential guests to read our reviews not only on this property (Prospector Ranch), which is quite a unique experience but the other three as well.

Not for us!
This was a difficult evaluation to write because we wanted it be an honest assessment of the accomodations. Firstly, we have always wanted to stay in an Airstream on vacation. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to take one more item off our bucket list. The listing was very attractive and the setting was beautiful. Our host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. When we arrived we were greeted by her husband who showed us to the Airstream which was located in a gorgeous canyon setting. When we entered it, we were immediately take aback by the condition of the unit. There was not a functioning lock on the front door, and the window next to the door was in such bad condition you could see outside through the frame. Several sliding cabinet doors were even difficult for our host to open and close, some not at all. The bathroom sink faucet leaked water out from the base but none from the faucet. There was a sign telling the user to put ALL toilet paper in the trash can located next to the recycling toilet. The small portable tower heater in the living room was not large enough to heat the entire unit and after running the overhead heater for several minutes we never did get any hot air. We decided not to remain there for the week and were lucky enough to have friends close by that we could stay with. We were sure that we had lost our entire fee because we had already checked in, however, after communicating our frustration with the hostess she was gracious enough to give us a partial fair refund. That speaks to the hosts character. Per the listing, we were expecting a much more renovated unit but left disappointed.

The airstream is very comfortable. Think of your stay as more than glamping, that’s how comfortable it is. The view from the outside sitting area is tranquil. The bed is comfortable. The air is clean and quiet. Meggan is an amazing hostess.

The airstream is located on a hill proving a very beautiful view which we enjoyed sitting outside to take in and appreciate. The pull out queen bed and bedding were very comfortable. Certain things in the trailer needed repair including a lock on the door and a new bathroom sink faucet.

Peaceful getaway!
Stayed at this property a couple of weeks ago for a last minute trip. What a gem! Fearless Mary was as advertised and met our needs! It was clean, comfortable, and you could not beat the location. The description does not do it justice. From the expansive gorgeous views during the day to the stars at night so grateful for some peaceful time outside. Meggan was a wonderful host who greeted us warmly upon our arrival. She was communicative as needed. Wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thank you!

Awesome Experience!
Enjoyed it very much! It’s similar to “glamping” so go with that mentality. It’s in a beautiful location…saw lots of rabbits and 3 deer came up to our camp one morning. Meggan is a great hostess and very responsive. I’d definitely do it again!

Amazing views in a vintage airstream! Great time!!
We enjoyed the stay. The airstream was super clean and had a nice feel to it . It was close to town so we could go back and forth no issues. We loved the views. There were so much wildlife! Megan was available with any questions and a caring host. Had a great time bringing Wood Ranch Bbq for family night at the saloon. Great fun and a really nice maintained ranch. Definitely hands down we would rent this airstream again!!

This airstream was a great location after our long day at the Channel Islands. The views were breathtaking. It was definitely hot in the airstream but cooled off after a couple hours with the AC going. We loved the animals especially their Donkey.

Not what we expected
The airstream was so cute and the property was beautiful and Meggan was readily available. We gave less than five stars because the property was way too hot to stay at in the summer. Meggan was kind enough to turn on thr ac for us before we got there but due to the age of the airstream. It didn't work well. We actually went out and bought two umbrellas to give us shade after the first day. If your planning on staying here we recommend u look at the weather first and plan accordingly. 85 plus degrees is too hot without any shade for us and our pup. The bathroom faucet was broken and we also found some items behind the pillows that were clearly left over from the guests before us. If we had been able to make other arrangements in the area and stay elsewhere with our doggie, we would have, at least, this time of year. That being said, it's a beautiful place and in the spring and fall and winter I can imagine it would be amazing.

Outdoor space was very cool - beautiful views and nice out door lighting for evenings. Airstream was a vintage model so you need to know that before you go and focus on your experience outdoors. We stayed for a few nights which was fun. Our dogs liked it.

Needs a real shower, locks on doors, Need to upgrade bed, toilet system needs and up grade, window seals need to be redone. The location is fine ,If you like camping it’s fine for you , but Id like the amenities to be more upgraded.- the host was very friendly and showed us around very well. It just wasn’t what we expected.

Perfect girls’ night getaway for the weekend
Staying at Prospector Ranch in the Proud Mary was everything one can ask for and more, for a girls night in with my sister and cousin. Meggan was the most amazing host, providing detailed driving instructions and very responsive to messages. Upon arrival she was so kind and welcoming, providing cold drinks and even taking group photos for us! We got to meet her equine family members, Betty and George, very sweet! The Proud Mary itself was beautifully maintained with lovely personalized decorative touches, with LED candles, comfy sofa, throw pillows, and blankets, and stocked with water and welcome treats in the fridge. We three adults slept comfortably, we are snack size so fit well. The location was beautiful to see the sun setting on the hills and the night sky while seated in the lovely outdoor lounge area. The guest manual was also very informative. Highly recommend this place for those seeking a little weekend away from the “city” but a decent drive away, with a hankering for nostalgia in the classic airstream. Thank you to Meggan for hosting, we girls had a blast catching up over wine and in the comfort of Proud Mary’s lodging!

Fantastische lokatie
Geweldige locatie en leuk om een keer in de Airstream te hebben ovetnacht. Het interieur was wel gammel inclusief de bedbank. Die is aan vervanging toe. Wij raden de verhuurder aan om de gescheurde kussen te vetvangen. Het is duidelijk dat je voor de plek en de belevenis betaald, maar is niet heel comfortabel en netjes.
