About this house rental
Hello fellow travelers! I invite you to experience my 220 acre working cattle ranch amid rolling hills, oak trees and exotic animal pastures. Escape the city life to rejuvenate your spirit! PRICE REDUCED FROM $1800 TO $1520/NIGHT! (Holidays excluded)
And coming August1, 1 baby zebras, and a camel! More exotic animals to feed on your western adventure.
The story of The Lodge at 14 Oaks Ranch is as unique as the property itself and is steeped in rich family history and tradition. Its name captures the 14 Oaks chosen by each of the 14 siblings of the Murphy Family from the hundreds of majestic oak trees nestled amid the rolling hills of this secluded getaway.
The Lodge at 14 Oaks Ranch is a unique venue with a western flair - each bedroom has a different theme, reminiscent of the old wild west. It's a place where you can create memories through traditions to strengthen family bonds or revitalize a team.
Family and teams share morning coffee talk on the porch or under "Mary's Oak tree; a morning stroll to the grotto on the hill; a mile walk to the front gate passing the animal pastures. In the late afternoon and evening there is cocktail hour enjoying the gorgeous sunsets amidst the cool breeze of the porch or Oak trees. The late evening might bring star gazing at the firepit after an evening of card and dice games, charades, or maybe a family or team talent show night; maybe scheduled is Family or team affirmations at dinner or at the Grotto between dinner and games.
The days may be filled with activities of safari, to feed the zebras, alpaca, buffalo, lawn game tournaments of shuffle board, horseshoes, bocce ball, cowboy golf… hikes to the creek or a hike to the Indian history showing how the native Indians ground oak acorns in grinding holes sprinkled near the creek; maybe a hike with Operations Director, Terry Greene, pointing out the gold rush times when the waterworks of the gold rush ran through the hills of the property; a ride out to the eagles nest. or maybe some pollywogging West African style for catch and release.
There is plenty of family and team interaction with meal preparation and BBQ’s in a fully stocked kitchen. Eating meals together provides an opportunity where common activities become shared experiences. A country dining table that seats up to 14 also serves as a conference table with a built-in wide screen TV for presentations and slide shows. Additional seating is offered in the adjoining den and on the adjacent porch with a table of 12 and bench seating of 8-10.
Off campus activities can be planned as you go or prearranged. Off campus activities are house boating (25 minutes away); visiting gold towns, gold mine tours, Old Sacramento, Sacramento - State capital tours; lakes, ice cream, rivers and fishing as well as a local fish hatchery... Wine tasting anyone?
There is plenty to do or not do and just relax and smell nature and listen to the quiet in birds chirping and frogs croaking…
Escape to The Lodge at 14 Oaks Ranch, where the stresses of city life fade away, and the beauty of nature and the joy of connection come to the forefront. Book your stay today and experience the transformative power of this hidden gem.
Your journey to tranquility begins here.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this property. Roberta went out of her way to replace the packnplay that was provided at the property to provide a safer one and that was greatly appreciated. Some of the sleepers aren’t in the best conditions, but aside from that, I highly recommend staying here!

We rented this property with a group of friends and our kids. We had 10 adults and 8 kids, we all had a blast! Enough room to run around and for everyone to have their space when needed. Enough beds for everyone, and some! Some of the couples with little kids splitted up and they both got their own room.
The views are stunning, the quietness of the surrounding is amazing. What made the stay the best though I believe was the owner and the property managers. They were responsive, friendly laid back. They gave us our privacy yet we’re there for whatever needed. Terry took us and the kids on a ride in his truck to go feed the animals and check out the creek, big hit with the little ones!
The kids loved the hot tub and we also brought a kiddie pool that came in pretty handy when it got too hot. I must say we lucked out with the weather cause it wasn’t too hot when we were there, I can see how it can get a lot warmer. That being said though the patio is amazing, gets plenty of shade and an amazing breeze blows all day long.
I cannot say enough good things about this place and their managers. We will definitely come back!!

The property is peaceful and beautiful there are rolling hills with oak trees and a faraway view of Sutter Buttes so we could just sit on the porch and relax and enjoy the view and maybe see occasional woodpeckers, jack rabbits,wild turkey, squirrels.The children had so much fun playing and running around - playing shuffleboard, ringo, bocci ball, exploring, climbing on the rock at Mary's Grotto, playing in the wading pool we brought with us. Some highlights were many sitting areas in the house and on the porch; fire ring was a great place to roast marshmallows; interesting historical objects on the walls and fun coonskin caps. The safari by Terry was a wonderful way to connect with the ranch animals (bison, cows and alpaca) and understand the job of the rancher, for instance, to make sure the bull is happy and does not wonder afar.
A few things to know. The zebras are no longer there as of June 2023. The mini kitchen in the upstairs quest house room was noisy. Also, we could not find a soup laddle.We could not find a guest instructions book, but Diane Estrada answered our questions about trash disposal and checkout list quickly. However these were all minor issues and we totally enjoyed our stay!
