We had a great time staying on the ranch. The cottage was the perfect size for our family and our son loved exploring the ranch and seeing all the animals. The host was very responsive and able to get us everything we needed. We didn't realize we were staying on a wine trail so that was an added bonus of being able to explore wineries in the area. It was a great central location for us to explore Pinnacles National Park and also go into Monterey. We would definitely stay here again!

My favorite past time is enjoying our 20 grandchildren. 24 great grandchildren, and our many adopted grandchildren. My husband and i enjoy traveling the world, horseback riding, snorkeling, kayaking, golfing, and whatever our children are interested in.
