With our guidance for the best experience for guests, owner of Indian Canyon Ranch, Joe, lived and worked in Yosemite & Grand Canyon National Park as project manager and not wanting the used materials to be wasted in the landfill, Joe captured the opportunity to create an off-grid retreat when he bought the first 10 acres of Indian Canyon Ranch which is now 20 acres total He took years to collect and build this off-grid retreat, piece by piece, up-cycling construction debris. Now Joe lives off-grid full-time and is sharing in the experience. Joe will be able to answer some of your questions or give you advice on the area and other natural wonders in the region including local Indian ruins, or a great place to swim, or go off-roading :) ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Hob - Refrigerator - Spices ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking allowed: in designated areas ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Next to a golf course ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64150000/64145400/64145304/w1064h800x68y0-e9e8c81e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### While not a hotel, the Feather Trailer provides a relaxed, peaceful retreat in nature with the warmth and convenience you need for a memorable outdoor getaway.
