About this property

Welcome to Owls Head Ranch, our family's sanctuary! This spacious 3000sf home and surrounding 200 acre ranch is brimming with natural beauty and wildlife. Ideal for fly-fishing, golfing, exploring nature or just sitting on the dock or in front of the fire with a good book, our house is steps from the spring-fed Fall River and a 10-minute drive to Fall River Golf & Country Club. This home is comfortable from anywhere from 1-8 adults with 4 bedrooms. and 2.5 bathrooms. The dining room table can comfortably seat 12. The surrounding nature and wildlife are awe-inspiring all year around. The winter often brings snow and the summer is warm enough to jump in the river to cool off. Built in the 1980s this home and it's surroundings have been enjoyed as a retreat by our family and friends for many years. You will find a library of our favorite books & family photos from decades past throughout the house. The walls are decorated with artwork from the many artists who have come to visit and get inspired by the surroundings. This special house and special location is a wonderful getaway for a single traveler, groups or large families. Bring your golf clubs, your fishing gear, your yoga mat, your paints, your books and enjoy the quiet and beauty.

**Please note our family ranch caretakers live in a separate building on the property**

One of the most lovely properties imaginable

We've now stayed in the Fall River home 2 years - each time to celebrate by Grandmother's 92 and 93rd birthdays. My Grandmother lives locally in Burney and each of my 4 adult children com in from as far as Seattle and Santa Barbara. The travel isn't easy to make happen but I know that the rental is a special enough experience that they all are eager to participate. We also brought our small Italian Grey Hound dog who seemed to have the best time of all running full stride daily and interesting with the nearby cattle and other wild life. It was gorgeous to see and quite entertaining. The home is decorated very tastefully and is quite clean. It has 2 refrigerator (which I thought was odd the first time we stayed there) but I quickly realized that when cooking meals for a crowd that they were quite helpful. The wildlife you see at the different parts of the morning and evening is breathtaking. The property has it own boat dock and can be used for lounging. The property is very well maintained and Kermit is so kind and right there should we ever need anything. We can only hope that we can reserve this lovely clean home with regularity and even (fingers crossed- they might want to sell part or all of the property). We'd love to spend more time at this location. Keep us in mind if that ever becomes a possibility. In the meantime, we've loved our visit. We love the gorgeous surroundings and the serenity you can't help but experience just from the wildlife.

Fishing Trip

Very comfortable and clean. Secluded location, separated from the Fall River by a huge lawn. The kitchen was spacious and has two full sized refrigerators. Large deck, firewood and a Webber BBQ satisfied the rest of our needs.

About the host

Our parents bought the land in 1977 and built the house over the next few years. We've shared with extended family and friends since then as a unique place to experience nature and all the wonders of the Fall River and Shasta area.
