RecommendationsWe are in the heart of Wine Country with easy access to amazing wineries, restaurants, hiking, biking and kayaking nearby. The ocean is a scenic 90 minute drive. Lake Tahoe is just over 3 hours away. Shasta and Lassen National park are within five hours, and Yosemite is 4.5 hours away. We are approximately 90 minutes from three major airports. So much beauty to see in the area!Other things to notePets are welcome!No off-roading, smoking/vaping in van ($500 fee will apply), and please no festivals. Please return vehicle with the gas level it was sent out at, or a $6/gallon fee will apply. Black and gray water tanks must be emptied/rinsed upon return, or a $100 fee will apply. A $250 charge will apply if the interior hard surfaces (walls, cabinets, floors) are damaged or stained.We discourage the use of hair dryers and other high-wattage appliances with a heating element, such as toasters, instant pots, or coffee makers off of the van inverter. It is not designed to run these types of appliances and can damage the system.Free 150 miles/night included in the rental. For miles beyond 150 miles/night, the surcharge is $1/mile. Example, if your rental is 4 nights and you drive 1000 miles, the surcharge will be (600 x $0 + 400 x $1) = $400.

We love camping and spending time outdoors! I have a luxury hospitality background, and have always wanted to combine my love for hospitality and the outdoors, so am very proud of all the small details we have put into our van in order to make you feel at home. We love animals, and are renovating a small farmhouse in the country. Our favorite camping locations are Gualala, Cazadero and Burney Falls!

We had a fantastic time with Lilly and Jeff’s camper! It is incredibly comfortable, clean, nicely decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect road trip down the coast. Lilly and Jeff were exceptionally responsive, always ready to offer tips, help, or suggestions whenever we needed them. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found and met such wonderful hosts. Thank you so much for accommodating us, especially the pups, on such short notice. This experience has definitely got us wanting to get outdoors more.

We rented The Simple Life from Lillian, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for the perfect RV to feel that sense of adventure, look no further.

We had the privilege to use the Lilly's camper van, and my wife and I had a wonderful time.
