Thanks for being great guests. I’m sorry there was a problem with my well/tank system, but I’m glad my ranch hand was able to fix it pretty quickly. Happy New Year!

Perfect place to stay for hiking in Pinnacles National Park

The property is just 2 miles from the Pinnacles entrance and remote enough to enjoy the stars and quiet of the countryside, but still modern enough to be a comfortable stay. Would definitely come back here again.

The ranch is beautiful and peaceful. We picked it because it was so close to the National Park entrance and that worked out so well for us to go hiking everyday. The house has everything you could need. David is very attentive and helpful. We would definitely come back again!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It's a beautiful area and the ranch provided a space to bird watch, gaze at the stars, and sit on the porch as the sun was rising with coffee in hand. The ranch was very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Would book again.

Great place to get away from it all

The property was very remote and a great place to relax. The living room and kitchen were large and great to use as a gathering space. The outdoor patio was also a great place to sit and listen to the birds and watch the hummingbirds. Beds were very comfortable. Overall this was a great getaway place!

Hiking Trip

Great location for hiking day trips to Pinnacles National Park! It’s close by and we didn’t feel rushed even when we slept in late! The house is comfortable and was well stocked kitchen. We loved all the family games and foosball table! The WiFi is spotty but worked well enough. Great stay overall!
