Some things just carry stories in their bones.
Our little Westy has been part of our family for nearly 30 years. Originally owned by my brother David, this van spent decades wandering around Northern California… parked at music festivals, tucked into forest campsites, chasing rivers, sunsets, and all the freedom that comes with an old VW and an open road.
Fast forward to 2021, when David finally let me buy her. Somewhere along the way I had the wild idea to hand the van over to to give it a full Mill Creek-style makeover, turning her into the colorful little woodland wanderer she is today.
Now she lives here at Mill Creek Resort, where guests can experience the magic of Westy life without having to own one (or learn all the mysterious old Volkswagen quirks 😅).
We outfitted her with just about everything you need for a simple adventure:
- cooking gear
- camp kitchen basics
- cozy sleeping setup
- camping essentials
Honestly… you mostly just need food, a change of clothes, and a willingness to slow down a little.
She’s imperfect in all the best ways. A little nostalgic. A little funky. A little freedom machine parked beneath the pines.
For the people who’ve always thought:
“Someday I want a Westy…”
This might be your someday.
Perfect for two adults, sorry no pets!
P/S Happy Birthday David!! 😊
