My boyfriend and I stayed in the Westy for Christmas Eve and got to experience a fun night of rain and thunderstorms in the redwoods. (Unfortunately that meant it was too wet to use the firepit, but c'est la vie.) Connie and Peter do sell firewood, but you can also get your own from Safeway about 10 min away in town. The property was beautiful, especially venturing into the common area and enjoying the views over the valley. While it was a cold night, the blankets and space heater provided were enough to keep us warm.
It was initially challenging to navigate to the van's location only because of the rainy weather, darkness, and very sharp turn up the driveway to the van, but by closely following the instructions Connie provided we were able to figure it out. We couldn't figure out how to close the van door but eventually Macgyvered a solution using the seat belt to keep it shut. We messaged Connie about it pretty late at night so weren't expecting a response until the morning, but Peter came down to check on us and made sure we'd be okay until the morning, so that was very nice of them!
Some tips for future guests would be to bring a lantern if you have one. We stuck ours on the top bunk so we could see around the van. Be careful if you hit your head on things easily (like me) as the clearance is very low between the top bunk and bottom bed. I must have hit my head about 10 times even though I was moving very slowly. An option might be to turn your body 180° so you sleep at the foot of the bed instead. The bed was also firmer than expected, but that didn't actually impede on our sleep as side and back sleepers.
For a fun adventure in the books, would recommend a stay here for sure! Their tiny house looked really cute as well.
