Description
We have plenty of room for any size rig. Live on 8.67 acres. Property is fenced. There are horses and dogs allowed to roam free on the property. Dogs are very friendly. Not a good location if you don't like dogs. Hasn't ever happened but it is possible that horses can kick vehicles if they are in the way when horses are striking out at each other. There is parking just outside our gate if you prefer. No smoking or campfires allowed on the property due to fire danger. This is rattlesnake country so be alert and don't climb around the rocks. There are coyotes in the neighborhood so small dogs must be watched.
House Rules
No smoking on property.
Access Road Conditions
Paved road to our driveway and then short gravel driveway.

Beautiful setting, friendly people
Our host greeted us and helped us get settled with the best view possible. She took us on a tour of the property to meet the horses and goats. It was sooo quiet there, we slept like babies. The property has a great view of the Worlds smallest mountain range (Sutter Buttes). I set up my camp chair and sat for hours admiring the view. I would love the return again. Great hosts!

Great stop over
Enjoyed our stopover at Dianelmann’s hobby farm. Great views of the valley. It is a very quiet and peaceful location. Loved the horses and all the puppies. Dianelmann was a very gracious host and we thank her for her hospitality.

What a pleasant surprise!
The horses & mules greeted me at the door of my RV upon arrival along with the dogs who wanted to meet Shiraz, my travel companion. Diane made it so easy for me to get situated in a level, convenient spot on the property. Speaking of the property......if you are within 100 miles, check availability, as the hosts are away at times, but this is an amazing piece of California paradise. The views go on forever!

Fun 8 acre hobby farm with fabulous valley views
Hello Fellow Boondockers
We just arrived at danielmann and it is a very fun 8 acre property with horses, dogs and cats running loose and also a few goats. We love animals......
The property has fabulous views down over the valley, and the hosts are very accommodating and friendly. We would definitely recommend this fun place to others.

We will be back
We could have stayed longer if the weather wasn't starting to get worse. The hosts at this spot are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We showed up later than expected, they showed us where to park and said, "Come in for dinner after you've gotten all situated." One of the prettiest places we've been to. They have a great view, and the ambiance is amazing. These hosts, and their family are so down to earth, and we wish we could have stayed longer. We are so glad to be able to call them friends now. Don't skip out on the chance to meet these guys. The views alone are worth the drive.

Amazing views and wonderful hosts
Staying with Dianelmann was so peaceful. Their home and RV site are most unique. We loved the animals and the warm apple cake. We recommend this Boondockers Welcome site to anyone.

Great hosts!
Diane and Greg were wonderful hosts, helped us with a car, fed us with very tasty soup and gave us some good advice on what to see on our journey. Oh, and Greg makes the best coffee and the best breakfast cereal ever and he shared recipe! Thanks again!
