I booked a weekend getaway at the farmhouse to celebrate a milestone birthday and Friendsgiving with a group of friends. We had a lovely time. The property is beautiful and has a lot to offer. The hosts were gracious, responsive, and accommodating. We had three kids with us and they had a blast exploring and playing in the treehouse and swings. We also had a couple musicians with us and they enjoyed playing the piano and bass; it was an added bonus to have musical instruments. There were eleven of us staying for the weekend and we invited a few more friends from the area to join us for the main dinner. It was fantastic that the kitchen table was able to seat all of us with the extension leaves added on. Given that we were cooking all of our own meals, it was helpful to have a well-appointed kitchen. One thing to keep in mind is that there is only one indoor shower. The outdoor bathroom is unique and cool but not the most comfortable for a shower if it’s chilly out. I really appreciated that the farmhouse was stocked with natural and eco-friendly products including the most incredible lavender chamomile dish soap. This place is a treat! We would love to come back again.

About the host

Hosted by Hope Schneir

Host profile image
Our family lives in Wyoming now, but we love to come back to our California-piece-of-heaven from time to time. We are so excited to share this fantastic jewel of a home with other families and groups, it is the perfect gathering space for conversation, cooking, outdoor living with modern comforts, wonder and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

This area of Camarillo has some of the best weather literally in the world. Most days are in the 70's, and if you drive 20 minutes north, south, or east, the temperatures are often significantly warmer.
The Camarillo Hills were among the first developed areas in the 1960's when Camarillo was a real horse ranching town and attracted equestrian enthusiasts. Mid-century estates in this area are now highly sought after for their generous property sizes, iconic California "rambling ranch" custom builds, choice views and pretty much perfect climate. The neighborhood is safe, private, and quiet, though just a short jaunt into town for shopping, restaurants, and theaters. This property was the long-time home of the locally famous Camarillo White Horse Association, a historic breed of horse from Adolfo Camarillo's own horses.

What makes this property unique

Heaven on earth! Enjoy the beauty of nature with modern comforts and close proximity to town. This spacious family-friendly property is the perfect gathering place for your large group. With generously sized outdoor and indoor communal spaces, 3 fireside gathering areas, and lots of secret hide-away nooks, it's a magical wonderland of creativity, community, and rest.
