Vacation with the Horses in our Ranch House! Right off Hwy 395

Our ranch sits at the base of the Sierra Nevadas right off of Hwy 395. You will enjoy the stars, and the views of the 4 different mountain ranges that surround the valley. Sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful in the world. The ranch currently houses retired performance horses that can no longer compete but can do lessons for guests. You will enjoy each of their very different personalities! Jeep/hiking trails are just one mile west along the Sierra Nevadas. You will love the ease of access from our ranch.

Lovely ranch
Lovely ranch. We star gazed one night and it was spectacular. We also walked around and took some pics of the horses which my kids really liked. One of the ranch hands offered to bring us some carrots to feed the horses which was really nice of her. We stayed here as we day tripped for a day at Death Valley and it worked out really well for us.

This property is unsafe and unsanitary for humans and animals. There was mold in the walls and cabinets, dust and spider webs everywhere and the blankets and sheets were dirty upon check in. FYI- There is a mandatory cleaning fee for this property added per reservation. The dishwasher was filled with dirty dishes and when i opened it, smelled as though it had been sitting for months and had rotting food in it. The coffee pot was filthy and full of grounds and calcium/mold and filth. The fire extuinguisher had a date of 2013. TV's didnt work. Stove, oven and kitchen were disgusting. Dishes were all old/mismatched and dirty. kitchen table was loose, bunk bed fell apart when my daughter went to lie in it. Heat barely worked. It was truly terrifying. If we didnt arrive late in the evening we would have never stayed. Owner tried to charge us for having additional guests (our children) once we complained in the AM. Also pet charges after we cancelled our reservation and checked out immediately in the AM- even though it was listed as Pet Friendly on Expedia and there was no area to add pets on the initial reservation. Beware when booking this property on Expedia -you will be routed to VRBO as this is a VRBO property. Wish I had been warned. I do not understand how this property is rated a 4.8. It should be condemned. It is a horse rescue- and should.not be operated as a VRBO rental.

A lovely house to stay in. The air conditioners couldn't quite keep up with the 100 degree weather, but that's not entirely surprising. The separate rooms for all family members was a great improvement over other hotels we've stayed in. We didn't do anything with the horses, but when I woke up at 4am, the stars were clear, with a good view of the Milky Way and planets visible as blobs through binoculars.

Desert Ranch
The house had plenty of room for 2 of us and our dog. The were horses right next to the house so we walked around to visit them daily, etc. They were friendly and beautiful! Our dog loved them. The privacy of the house was fantastic. It's located at the base of the mountains so the views were amazing. One of the things I loved about the ranch is that it's used for helping children with disabilities, behavioral issues, etc. The host was kind/responsive and the house had everything we needed. Thank you for having us!

Fantastic stay. If you are looking for a respite from big city - this is it! Lovely cottage with views on Sierra Nevada behind you and horses in front of you! I did get some riding classes and it was awesome. Definitely one of the places that I'd be so keen to return to!

Such a tranquil home. If you love horses and enjoy a peaceful retreat this is it! It's rustic and comfortable with strong a/c for summer and a winter stove for winter. Decorations are cute! Leslie rescues horses. Staying here helps her important mission!

Wonderful experience in a peaceful place with amazing horses
I stayed at the ranch house for 5 days with my two dogs. The house was, of course, way too big for us. It would accommodate two couples and 10 kids in its three bedrooms. The house has everything you need in terms of bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen equipment and is overall very comfortable with AC, heating, patio with table and seating, etc. The setting is amazing right next to the horse paddocks, which of course means that it smells horsey, (my dogs and I loved that). Early mornings and evenings are especially magical with the sun coming up or going down and the horses going about their business in the beautiful light. Nights with the stars are spectacular too, far away from city lights. I took 3 horse riding lessons while I was there and thoroughly enjoyed them and greatly benefited from them. The instructor was a "born with horses" teenager, who in contrast to the typical riding instructor did not incessantly criticize, but allowed me to find my seat on the horse I was riding. The horse was great, much more responsive to aids than the usual lesson horse in a riding school. There is a great range of horses there, some privately owned, but several rescue horses owned by Leslie the ranch owner. I am sure that I will go back to this wonderful place.

A great escape to the country!
Our ranch stay was great - exactly what we were looking for - a quick escape from the city to the “country” and wide open spaces. As others mentioned, the house was super casual & comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. The wood burning stove was extra cozy too. The kids and dog loved exploring the property. You feel like you can see forever! The horses were so friendly and gentle. We arranged feeding and riding and the kids were thrilled (surprising how much my 10-year-old video game addicted son enjoyed it!). Leslie was very responsive, easy to work with, answered questions promptly and gave us all kinds of great tips for day trips. We did Red rock canyon one day and then next day the Kennedy Meadows Trail on the PCT up to a bridge which was really cool too. We could bring our dog on the side trips which was a bonus! If you are looking for a great getaway- look no further, you’ve found it!
