We also recommend using our camp chairs to enjoy our private beach on Tillie Creek. sitting in the creek - on boulders or the chairs - is a delightful, mesmerizing treat as the waters flow by. If you love connecting with the past, be sure to visit our ancient grindstone, left behind by indigenous tribes (located in SE corner of the property, beyond the fenced area). Families carved pits into the boulder that were used to grind acorns, which was used to make gruel and fry bread. For thousands of years, the Tubatulabal tribes migrated here to this location every winter and returned to the cooler mountains in summer. (Their petroglyphs are visible at various locations, and their descendants still live here to this day.) We are honored to have this beautiful artifact at El Escondite for you to experience for yourself. The outdoor table and porch benches are exclusive to the Casita. You are welcome to use the firepit, gather kindling, access the solar water purification system and explore the entire property. Tillie Creek runs through the back of the property and is where deer and other critters pass through. (The creek runs seasonally but is expected to flow into the summer months.) Other things to note El Escondite's grounds offer lots of space and privacy. The hosts are usually around. If you need anything, please let us know. Although you’ll mostly have the whole backyard to yourself, we will soon have an additional glamping tent in the back of the property by Tillie Creek. A telescope is provided for your enjoyment.
