About this property

Cozy Country Cottage on 1,000 Acre Working Ranch -10 Min to Pinnacles Nat'l Park

Our Love Nest is both private and charming; perfect for 1-2 guests. The 'log cabin' exterior is fitting for the ranch environment and the interior is reminiscent of the “Gone with the Wind” era. This cottage contains a comfortable queen sized bed, floral tapestry love seat, 'faux fireplace' heater, A/C, combo TV/DVD player, small refrigerator, microwave, electric tea kettle, ass't coffee/teas. We also provide high quality bed linens and towels as well as bathroom essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, toilet paper etc). The bathroom is private; includes a toilet, sink and shower. There's a small closet for your belongings. Set apart from the other guest accommodations, you will enjoy the privacy of the Love Nest, nestled among towering oak trees. It is important to note that we have a variety of animals here on the ranch and strive to make their quality of life healthy, happy and comfortable. Our Love Nest is in close proximity to our peafowl aviary, which holds approximately 25 peacocks and peahens and also near our "Doggie Chateau", home to our beloved ranch dogs Ringo and Scarlet. The peafowl can be vocal during mating season and on occasion the peafowl and/or dogs may become boisterous, as they alert when a predator (bobcat, coyote, etc) is on the property. Since the Love Nest is close to both pens, we want guests to be informed.

Guests are welcome to use our tennis and basketball courts, including our ping pong tables and popular Game Room located in the large blue barn. Inside, there is a pool table, air hockey and foosball as well as a gaming table to play poker and other card games. We have a variety of board games available. There is a collection of DVD's that may be viewed there in the game room on our big screen TV or borrow a few to watch in your guest cottage and return them later on.

Guests are welcome to hike on our property. We have nearly 1,000 acres total and there are hiking trails that lead to the top of the mountain. When you reach the top, there is a large, beautiful deck with comfortable furniture where you can enjoy a respite or snack while taking in the most incredible view of our property and surrounding properties. If you enjoy hiking, this is a must!

There is usually someone here on site, but if not, we are available by telephone 24/7. If you have a special request, or question, do not hesitate to contact us. Upon confirming your reservation, we will provide pertinent contact information.

Beautiful property!
We had such a perfect weekend staying in the love nest! Thoughtful touches throughout the space, we had everything we needed. The entire property itself was gorgeous with a fully outfitted game room and adorable farm dogs. We hiked to the scenic overlook (about a mile each way) and it was absolutely stunning. Very conveniently located close to Pinnacles National Park and a perfect place to turn in after hiking all day. Will definitely be staying here on future trips with friends and family.

Great hidden treasure
Really great, unique place to stay. Property is tucked away from the road and is very private. Awesome olive trees everywhere. Great views of the rolling hills of the area. Cabin itself was very comfy. Highly recommended it!!

Nice little cottage
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights while we hiked in the Pinnacles. It was clean, and the manager did an awesome job of communicating with us. I gave it a 4 for location because of one factor. It is very close to the east entrance of the Pinnacles, which was great for my wife and I. That was all we needed. If, however, you like to go to town, you are about 25-30 minutes away. Just depends on what you want. We would stay here again if in the area. We enjoyed hiking and relaxing here at the end of the day

Close to Pinnacles
We enjoyed our stay in the “Love Nest”. The cabin was exactly as described and clean/comfortable. The ranch is nice, animals fun to see. We hiked in Pinnacles three days and this was the perfect spot to come home to.
