We have learned about places we'd never have gone if it wasn't for the HH program! We have traveled on British Columbia and to the one winery on Vancouver Island. As parents of kids under 12, it is nice to see lots of family friendly options like farms. Our kids also enjoyed seeing vineyards and playing with dogs, cats, sometimes goats and chickens while we sampled wine! I highly recommend the membership!
Hosts don’t respond, if they do they decline with no reason or because they’re unavailable (hello block your calendars off) or there are places you can’t get your trailer into despite them saying they accept that size trailer. I’m a planner and this difficult process is just not for me. Glad I was able to join with a 50% off code because otherwise I would be really mad. Waste of money.

By the 2nd visit the membership already paid for itself. We are now up to our sixth stay and every single host location has been amazing in its unique own way - the location, the people, the animals, the items for sale. We are very appreciative of the farms and businesses that open up their properties to us and very much enjoy the products we can purchase at these locations.

Harvest host has been a wonderful asset to our RVing experience. It is great to be able to find a harvest host in a community to break up longer drives. We never would’ve learned about certain wineries and museums and community events if we haven’t been in touch with the owners of these businesses -such a great partnership! It is a great return on my investment ( membership fee) after just a few stays each year.

We joined Harvest Host in May 2020 and have had only extremely great experiences. We have the GOLF membership even though we don’t golf anymore because they’re some of the most beautiful places to stay. We absolutely recommend this membership for safe, quick locations to overnight. Our hosts are always welcoming and we love seeing new places along our journey where we can sample their products or services.

We have found excellent value for our membership. The whole concept of overnighting in these interesting locations has added an exciting new aspect to our travel planning and offered us access to experiences that would normally have been out of our reach. The hosts have been very welcoming and we have spent pleasant evenings chatting them and with other members we meet during our stays. The benefits of membership include a delightful enrichment to the journey.

I am really excited about our Harvest Host membership. While we’ve only used it one time so far, we are planning a trip out west and have several visits scheduled. We are going to be able to start our trip by staying at a wonderful bakery where we will purchase breads and special treats to enjoy along the way. Also, we will visit some wineries, a dairy farm, an alpaca farm, and a woodworking shop while on our travels. I’m excited to know we can purchase fresh milk, delicious ice cream, and gift items as we visit the various hosts. Every host that I’ve contacted has been so kind and helpful. I’m a very happy Harvest Host member!

Joined the Harvest Hosts community this year and just came back from a one week adventure around the Niagara Escarpment here in Ontario, Canada and I must say we loved it! Most campsites are fully booked for the season so it has been so great to get out enjoy life through Harvest Hosts. Wine tastings at Palatine Hills Estate and Creekside and then some tasty maple treats from White Meadows Farms - Maple Farm. At each location we had the space to ourselves and really got to immerse ourselves within these gorgeous, expansive properties. Due to covid we were not able to get the full experience of guided tours unfortunately (which is why only 4 star review of our trip) but hey it gives us an excuse to go back! There aren't enough Harvest Host members in Canada so we are hoping to eventually cross the border (pending covid evolution) and experience what the US HH has to offer.

I am a winery owner on Route 66 in New Mexico and a fairly new Harvest Host. Since joining, our business has increased tremendously by pulling travelers from I-40 into town. We enjoy getting the opportunity to meet and visit with the travelers that we host. We are so glad to have this opportunity and highly recommend becoming a host.
