Wow. It really shouldn't have taken me this long to write about our stay at Wolf. Feather. Honey. Farm. Somehow, every time I sat down to begin a draft I just couldn't find the right words. It's hard to craft a sentence worthy enough to describe the magic and energy of that place. But now, it's been nearly 3 months since our stay, and my guilt for not sharing our special experience has finally overcome me.

Mid June of 2016 I was lucky enough to snag a Field Scout trip through HipCamp for WFHF. HipCamp only had two photos up on the listing at that point, and neither did the place any real justice, but I was eager to go on a new adventure and take pictures!

Almost every year, my girlfriends and I take a camping trip. Usually, we head up North to Sequoia National Park, but this year we didn't manage to make it. We'd been itching for a girl's only adventure, but this last year we've all been swamped with work, social events and making our way through the wedding circuit. Heading 5 hours North has just been too much of a commitment. WFHF, on the other hand, is located just 2 hours south of us in Temecula and seemed to be the perfect opportunity to unplug for 24 hours. So I grabbed my two friends, Jillian and Shannon, we packed up my car and headed off in a direction we'd never been.

The property is located just past all of the wineries of Temecula, up a country road that winds past horse farms and pistachio groves. When we pulled up to our camp sight, we were in absolute awe. Now, if you know me, you know I am an excellent Internet sleuth. I managed to hunt down WFHF's Instagram, so I had some idea before we got there what we were in for, but I assure you, photos do not do this place justice. Chari, the matriarch of WFHF, and I had been in touch before our arrival. She gave us some lovely tips for before and after our stay. Not only that, she had the sweetest note waiting for us when we arrived and she and her husband Craig stocked the vintage cooler on site full of Moscow Mule ingredients! They truly are a couple after three late-twenty-something's hearts, I'll tell ya what!

Chari and Craig really take glamping to a whole new level. We were so pleasantly surprised to find that not only did they provide all the fixings for Moscow Mules, but the site is fully stocked with lighter fluid, coals, a grill, a trash bin, a hand washing station and more! As the girls and I explored the grounds, we caught ourselves (embarrassingly) repeating the phrase "so cute!" whenever we encountered something new. But it was true - everything was SO CUTE.

The icing on the cake of the entire experience is hands down the Pioneer's Penthouse tent. The tent sleeps 3 comfortably and is equipped with sleeping pads, tons of comfy blankets and pillows and a plush day bed - it is seriously a glamper's dream!

After "oohing" and "aahing" for about an hour, the sun began to set, and we noticed the hum of an engine growing nearer and nearer to the campsite. As the sound grew louder, we realized it was Chari and Craig coming to greet us on their adorable vintage buggy! We piled into the back, Mules in hand, and our hosts escorted us to the top of one of the hills on their property that offers the most amazing views of Temecula. It was such a treat to be able to watch the sunset, surrounded by friends new and old and this positive energy that was truly palpable.

As the sun dipped behind the horizon, we hopped back into the buggy and had an exciting ride back down the hill to our campsite. Chari and Craig helped us get settled in for dinner under a chandelier that hung from a tree branch. We grilled up chicken kabobs and veggies - my camp dinner go-to these days - and sipped (a bottle or two) of rosé under a massive blanket of stars. I'm pretty sure we stayed up until about 4am, laying on our backs, simply staring up at the stars. It was hard to pull ourselves away, but when we finally retreated back to the tent, we all crashed immediately, and I have to say, while it was not a long sleep, it was a good sleep.

Unfortunately, our trip took place during one of the hottest weekends in June to date. We awoke around 7am to temperatures in the mid 80º's, which wasn't doing our rosé hangovers any favors! We sipped some instant coffee and nibbled on granola bars - attempting to linger as long as possible, but eventually the heat got to us. We sadly gathered our gear, packed up the car, and said goodbye to Wolf. Feather. Honey. Farm.

Since our time in the Intrepid Wild I have raved on and on about this trip. I've even considered it as one of my wedding venues... that is how special this property is! My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!
