Great home to stay at. Our family had a great time at the ranch. Leslie was responsive. We stayed two nights and it was a seamless stay. Clean home and everything we needed was at the home. My girls had a great time with the horses and learned a lot with Leslie and Mak, they enjoyed their stay so much.
The ranch was perfect as base camp for us to explore the region. Easy access to Death Valley, Alabama Hills, and Sequoia Parks. The ranch is well appointed and allowed us to rest and enjoy ourselves after days of adventuring. Convenient shopping for food and supplies in Ridgecrest. Fantastic experience for anyone looking to explore the region with a quiet and comfortable home base.
Behind a locked gate is a modest home with breathless views of the mountains and horses. Even the barn cat was friendly! Clean, cozy and perfect for what I needed. Safe, quiet and comfortable beds. I recommend this stay. Great price too!
A buddy and I stayed here during a hunting trip, and it was perfect for what we needed. The house was very clean and had plenty of room, especially since there was only the two of us.
I made the reservations last minute and the owner was incredibly accommodating when I requested an early - a day early - check in.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
Near great hiking and climbing. The ranch house is relaxed, clean and comfortable. Several in our party took horse riding lessons and had a great time. The people working with the horses were friendly. A really wonderful stay.
This place exceeded our expectations by a long shot! House was roomy and set on a farm right in front of the beautiful sierra Nevadas, lovely horses all around the property that you can visit with and pet, a real gem! We’d love to stay again sometime soon :)
Wonderful experience for our granddaughter. The owner and staff were so very kind and helpful. Wonderful horses, excellent lessons and overall a terrific time even if it was 100 degrees. Would stay here again.
If you want a beautiful place to relax and let the kids play, this is your place! I could not have asked for a better place to lay your head after a day of sightseeing. Our experience surpassed our hopes and made lifetime memories.
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!
Our family rented this home on a functioning horse property as an alternative to camping in the Jawbone Canyon/Dove Springs off road riding area over thanksgiving week. It is just a 20 minute drive to the gate for day trips. We weren’t looking for glamorous accommodations but a place that could hold 3 families and had trailer parking for the off road vehicles and this worked perfectly. Owner is easy to work with and responsive . Would definitely return!
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.
My spouse and children stayed here for a couple of nights. The house was very comfortable, clean and had many beds. Horses were literally a few steps away on the large property which the kids loved. All the conveniences of home and a grocery store only 10 min away. Owner was very kind and easy to get in touch with. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
The experience was great, had a little trouble with the AC at first but Leslie was very prompt in getting it fixed within the hour. My kids fed the horses and they loved it. Quite area with beautiful sky’s at night!
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.
Not the Ritz But Perfect For What We're Looking For
We do an annual dirt bike trip to the area. The place we usually stay was already booked, so we booked here which turned out to be better. We had 11 guys ultimately. I had originally booked 6 but more guys piled on the trip at the last minute. I figured that'd be fine since the listing said it sleeps 13. What I didn't know was 6 of the beds are in a converted garage that was locked when we arrived. Leslie sent over a cleaning crew and prepped the room once we let her know. It all worked out fine. Had 1/2 cord of wood delivered and had some nice bon fires in the fire pit Beds were clean and comfortable, plenty of pots and pans, clean and working BBQ. We'll be back!
