About this apartment rental
This is a farmhouse loft above the barn, on a ranch in the Northern California gold country. I am conveniently located between Auburn and Placerville CA. Down at the end of my street is one of the trailheads to Cronan Ranch park with miles of trails for horseback riding, biking and hiking, and river rafting.
There are several other parks I can recommend!
A great place to get away and be able to have privacy, if that's what you prefer. You are welcome to visit with all the animals on the ranch! I will leave treats for the goats and cows downstairs on the shelf below the stairs.
The loft has a modern rustic decor with a wonderfully comfortable organic hybrid queen size bed and luxurious linens that are dried on outside line during nice weather, for wonderful fresh clean air smell! There is a loveseat that pulls out to a single bed and there is also a fold up floor mat for the littles if needed. There is a Pac N Play for infants as well as a baby gate.
The kitchen is adequately stocked with most things you could need. If there is anything you see missing, please let me know, so it can be added!
There is a shared (with owner) pool for the hotter months behind the main house with access through a side gate by the round pen We strive to give you privacy by the pool!
We also have a large summer garden by the pool, and love to share the organic bounty and with our guests! Please take a stroll through the garden and pick your fresh veggies for your dinner! For more outside time, there is a picnic table, some outdoor furniture under a pergola, and a small propane BBQ and well as small Webber BBQ down by the barn for your use! There’s also have a fire pit and chairs by the barn. Please keep the screen on the fire pit if you choose to use it. There is a S’mores box in the loft for making them at the fire pit!
The ranch loft is private, quiet and the sounds of nature surround you. Guests are welcome to bring up to 2 horses. A small back deck looks out over paddock where guest horses are staying. Room to park one rig. No animals are regularly housed in the barn. No dogs please! My livestock guard dogs love guests but see other animals as predators.
The outside dogs are all friendly with guests. The Anatolians are Teddy, his sister Stella and her daughter Hazel. Hazel often barks at first, but gets accustomed to the guests quickly. I would just ignore her. You may also encounter the bassets, Willow and her daughter Winter!
NEWS FLASH! We have an adorable mini Zebu cow called Fiona and her little sister Frances has joined her! The goats and chickens will run to you for treats and we keep some treats on a shelf in the barn under the stairs. You are welcome to go in with the goats for scratches and rubs…but they get pretty excited about snacks, so I would do that from outside of the fence!

This place was amazing! I got to feed the horses, goats, and miniature bulls. Breathtaking views. I will definitely stay there again!

The owner and her son where both very friendly and went out of there way to make sure our stay was perfect. There was even a little gift and a card on the table in the loft when I got there, I thought that was a very nice touch. Great place to go and relax and only 30 minutes from Thunder Valley so unfortunately we went and gambled a bit the reason it was unfortunately is because I walked away losing but had a good time. I really enjoyed feeding the animals the horses where definately the most fun to feed. I would definately recomend to any one needing to get away from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. I want to go back after May when there will be a new baby horse.

It was wonderful! The owner sent us suggestions what to feed the horses, goats, cows, etc. The accommodations were perfect for a nice little getaway, where we brought food with us. Our morning coffee was enjoyed by star gazing and identifying planets, then watched the sun rise. Oh…the dogs. They were so loving. Simply beautiful.

Was in need of real rest but the ranch dogs kept me up all night with their barking (doing their job, but should be a caveat in description). Little extras in a space are nice but only if they work - dead batteries in the mantel lighting and the blue tooth speaker wasn't charged and had no charger in room. Wouldn't call the kitchen "well stocked" - bring oil, seasonings. Some pans and utensils were covered in grease.
