OrangeRay, home of Pixie's Place Animal Sanctuary & Hospice was founded in 2007, when I left L.A. for the forest by the river to create, and to expand my shamanic pursuits. Being that Three Rivers was home to the socialist Kaweah Colony in the 1800's; which helped in the founding of Sequoia National Park; the area is rich in history. Poet John Muir was enchanted and inspired by this area; Walt Disney fell under her spell as well when he envisioned a "Swiss Chalet" style resort which never came to fruition. The water wars of California began right here; gold rush...right here! "Kaweah" is the name given by the Indians for the sound the Crow makes. Three Rivers literally sits on slabs of quartz crystal, making rock hunting superb! As an energy practitioner, the quartz heightens the healing process; as well as creating an energy vortex. My property sits on an area that was once an Indian village, and then the school house for the children of the pioneers. There was a huge Hare Krishna Colony up here in the 60-70's. As a photographer and filmmaker, the lighting up here is amazing! The night skies literally pulsate with their celestial canopy. A great spot to sky watch as well! The property is not kid-friendly, and is not really here for children as much as it is offered for the inner child in adults. WE ARE 420 friendly which is in opposition to most "family" landscapes....so please note this is not personal but I prefer no children xo Also, I prefer no pets, as it disrupts the balance here with the animal residents :)

We loved our stay in this cozy camper. Wendi was so hospitable and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and fun. We loved meeting all the lovely creatures at the animal sanctuary and will have to come back again for some spring weather!

Fire with Vishnu

Vintage Rainbow Garden

The space, the river, and the rainbows all exceeded expectations. Fresh eggs in the morning, Wendi's hospitality, and Vishnu's company around the fire were worth every penny spent and every mile travelled. Thanks Vintage Rainbow Garden!

Everything and more!

Vintage Rainbow Garden

I honestly cannot say enough positive things about wendi and her property! Wendi is such a special and rare human being- the most welcoming, empathetic and kind person I have met in a long time. We felt so at peace here and already miss it so much. Leaving Wendi and all the characters that roam the property was like leaving a long time friend. The camper was so cozy and well taken care of and Wendi was amazing enough to set us up with the supplies for a campfire every night <3 My partner and I spent around an hour every night just looking at the stars while cuddling with Vishnu and Sunny. If you are looking through reviews and feel this property calling to you don't hesitate to book! You will not be disappointed- were planning our next trip asap

In the Forest by the River

What a beautiful and magical space Wendi has created! She is truly a remarkable woman- vibrant, magnetic, and welcoming- and a great host. My partner and I had a lovely stay in the teepee, enjoying the stars. She has lots of animals, who are friendly and fun to engage with, and her land is serene and tranquil. I absolutely loved my time at Pixie's Place. Don't hesitate to book and enjoy the magical space.

One of A Kind Place and Host

Vintage Rainbow Garden

If you’re looking for a unique and special stay in a beautiful area, then Wendi’s is the place to be! She’s an awesome, hospitable host and all the animals were such a treat. Being so close to the river was incredible and surprisingly private during our stay. Already look forward to going back!
