About the host

Hosted by Arthur von Wiesenberger

Host profile image
I have been coming to the Camp Nelson area for over 30 years and it has been a favorite getaway for my family and me. Working in the city of Santa Barbara Camp Nelson is a great escape to a totally different side of the great state of California. It is not crowded like other mountain areas of the state and offers a great way to connect back to nature. The pristine water, crisp alpine air, aroma of the trees and the night sky filled with stars are all favorite features.

Why they chose this property

This property is very special because of its location, its history and is in the center of Camp Nelson, but with ample room to feel that you are in the forest. The cabins were built in 1949 and were recently renovated.

What makes this property unique

Peace, calm, beauty and nature are the the foundations of this village.
