This property is beyond beautiful! It is immaculately clean. Sarah was amazing, she actually met us at the property and showed us around and answered any question we had. We didn't have many as everything was right at our fingertips. The pool was fantastic. The surrounding area was spectacular, the kiddos loved the grassy pond area. We saw deer, turkey, ducks at the pond. The views were beautiful, morning coffee by the pool, watching the sun rise over the mountains was amazing. I will definitely be bringing our family there again and again!

The ranch is a lovely and historical setting. There are many vintage items throughout the ranch to be enjoyed. The wildlife sightings were amazing! (Javelinas, deer, ducks, birds.) It was the perfect setting for our 50th Anniversary Family Gathering. The ranch and grounds were clean and inviting. Sherry was there whenever needed and quick to respond. The house and surroundings were above our expectations. Beautiful!

Our group of 14 had a fantastic stay at this ranch property. It truly lived up to our expectations. There was more than enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably, both indoors and outside, which made it perfect for a larger group like ours.The views were absolutely amazing, especially at sunset. One of the most fun surprises was discovering a treehouse on the property that we didn’t even know about, it added such a unique and memorable touch to the experience.The pool area great, though the water wasn’t quite warm enough in April for us to fully enjoy it. We also didn’t end up using the jacuzzi, but it was a nice option to have.The kitchen setup worked really well for our group, especially with two refrigerators, which made it easy to store all the food and drinks we brought along.The home’s unique antique decor and authentic ranch style truly stood out, it felt like stepping back in time. With about100 years of history, the character of the house added a special charm.Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, scenic getaway for a group of friends
