Very Comfortable House on Beautiful Ranch

We had a wonderful stay in this very comfortable house on a beautiful ranch less than 15-minute drive to Pinnacles East entrance. It’s truly a peaceful experience staying here surrounded by their olive tree orchard in an oak-studded valley with steep green hills all around. There are 3 very well-appointed bedrooms all with queen beds and 2 full baths with high quality towels. It’s spotlessly clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. The hosts filled the house with nice extras like a sample of the olive oil they produce, flashlights, first aid kit, sewing kit. The lawn outside the house has a great seating area with chairs and umbrella.There are many animals to visit on the grounds including a large number of peacocks, horses, alpacas and 2 friendly dogs. Wild bunnies, quail and other birds are everywhere. There’s a steep hiking trail up to a peak with a lovely deck, chairs and view. We had an incredible hike at the Pinnacles through caves and way up to the high peaks ridge. Get there before 7:30am to get a parking spot at Bear Gulch. It gets very crowded there!

Awesome Get-A-Way

Pinnacles National Park has been on our bucket list and the ranch was the perfect place to stay. Shelly was an amazing host and took care of our every need. We met the animals (including alpaca, roosters, horses, donkey, rabbits, bull and the resident dogs) and enjoyed our coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon in the back yard listening to all of the birds. Way better than a hotel room!

Pinnacles adventure

We had the best time during our stay on the ranch. Only 15 minutes from Pinnacles. We loved all of the critters on the ranch (dogs, horses, peacocks etc.) Shelley was great and even shipped us a bag that we had forgotten.

Relaxing Place to send a few Days

We stayed here to be close to Pinnacles National Park. The property location is about 9 miles away from the park. This is a working ranch with lots of fun things and animals to see. Peacocks, horses, and many others. The home was clean and nicely appointed, and The olive oil was perfect. Communication was excellent, and direct were easy to follow. They have basketball, a hiking area, and ping pong. This was a quiet place to spend the two day. Would go back.

Amazing ranch property!!

We all loved our stay! Everything was clean, there was a ton of sweet animals, really fun amenities. We could have spent all weekend at this ranch. We chose this property due to the proximity to Pinnacles. It was very close to the larger side of the park. We also spent part of the day around the west side of the park. Very short drives and great views.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Rever

We are two busy physicians that purchased this 1000+ acre ranch in 1991 as a tranquil getaway for ourselves and two sons, Dustin and Ian.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy all that country life has to offer; our various domestic animals including horses, cows, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, peafowl, cats, and 2 busy ranch dogs, as well as breathtaking views, wildlife sightings, native plants and the ability to do as much or as little as desired. We have tennis and basketball courts, ping pong, a two story bunkhouse that also houses a pool table, air hockey, a vast collection of DVDs. We offer numerous comfortably charming guest cottages/houses, Over 20 years ago we planted over 1250 Mission organic olive trees which produce our award winning extra virgin olive oil. We have traveled all over the world and love meeting new people from all cultures. Come and experience our beautiful getaway in Paicines, California.

What makes this property unique

Our property offers the tranquil rural ambiance that so many desire, and all the creature comforts as well. Since we are located only 10 minutes from Pinnacles National Park, many guests hike during the day, but want to return to a comfortable cottage, enjoy a warm shower, a fully stocked kitchen, sleep in a comfortable bed, yet still be immersed in the great outdoors and all it has to offer.
