Thank you for the kind words! We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to welcome you back again someday!
The photos can only hint at this wonderful home and surrounding property! It is even more beautiful than the photos! My husband, our three kids and their partners and 4 grandchildren, had one of the best experiences ever! The Pond House and Airstream gave 2 couples a honeymoon suite. The main house had absolutely everything you could possibly need! The deck was huge and offered shade, sun and a peaceful place to gather and play. Bunnies, a skunk, hummingbirds, white tailed kites and turkeys were entertaining wildlife. Unfortunately the pond was too low to use. Communications with the management company were immediate and helpful! The moment we arrived, we were trying to find a reason to come back! Just do it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a memorable stay at Bailey Creek Ranch. It’s great to know everyone enjoyed the different spaces, peaceful setting, and all the special touches throughout the property. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team as well. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back again in the future!
We stayed here for a family reunion. The land is beautiful and quiet. It’s a great place for families or groups that want to take advantage of the scenery, hiking trails, fishing in the pond, campfires, enjoying the hot tub, grilling out on the deck. The ranch house, pond house, and airstream are all renovated and lovely. It is the country, so be prepared for bugs and critters, etc. We met the owners when we first arrived and they were very welcoming. They were also very responsive when we needed to troubleshoot a few issues that came up. I would definitely recommend this property!

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the most wonderful vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot of them. The photos are beautiful, but don’t even do it justice. I came here with my family for an early Thanksgiving celebration and we spend nights gazing at the Milky Way, and days lounging on the cozy porch, sitting by the pond, and exploring the vast property. There’s an pickleball court, basketball, rope swings, a trampoline, fishing poles, a great kitchen to cook in…we were thoroughly entertained. Inside the home, every single detail is well thought out and everywhere you look there is interesting/beautiful decor and antiques. We had so much fun discovering new little details we didn’t notice the previous day. The owner has clearly poured a lot of love into this property, and the property management company was fantastic as well. I’m so impressed and already cannot wait to return one day. I hope to create a home this lovely for my family one day :,)
