Amazing Stay !

House was as beautiful and open as expected, the hosts took great care to provide everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. From coffee to trail-mix and well labeled remotes, our stay was made extremely comfortable and peaceful because of all the care the hosts took before we even arrived. Will definitely stay here again !

Stunning space — know that hosts stay on-site

The property was gorgeous and a great fit for our group. Two things worth sharing for future guests, though: 1) We didn't realize a host or caretaker would be staying on the property during our visit — it wasn't mentioned beforehand, and we found out when we were checked on about the outdoor fireplace during our stay. That was a bit surprising. 2) The house rules are very detailed, and with someone on-site enforcing them in person, it felt less private than we expected for a group getaway. Just flagging this in case it's helpful for future guests — clear disclosure upfront would go a long way. Thanks again for having us!

Magical

This property was perfect for our group of 5 couples as we celebrated our daughter's wedding. The house was well stocked and brilliantly designed to allow us to have our personal space and then come together downstairs as a group. Our biggest regret is that we were not able to use the incredible kitchen. On the day after the wedding we hosted the farewell pool party. About 60 people stopped by throughout the afternoon to say goodbye to the newlyweds. The property effortlessly handled the parking and visitors. It was a great way to end the wedding weekend for all involved. The hosts were terrific to work with - before and during the stay. They promptly answered any questions we had via text. We highly recommend this property!

Best Stay Ever

We stayed here while playing in a weekend baseball tournament and we absolutely loved staying in this home! We had 10 people in our party, a combination of children and adults, and the bedrooms were perfect with very comfortable beds. The downstairs floor plan was very open and there were plenty of places to hang out. The pool was warm, the outdoor fireplace was perfect at night, and there were plenty of poolside games to play that kept everyone busy (cornhole, shuffle board, table games, etc.). The home’s design and décor was top notch, yet it had a very relaxing feel. It was exactly what we were looking for and our families constantly raved at the beauty of the home. In addition, the house was well stocked and the attention to detail was appreciated by everyone! By far the nicest home we have stayed in!!

Impeccable stay!

Wow. What can we say - it was an incredible stay for our group ranging from ages 2-45! Everything was impeccable, amenities were stocked, we loved the pool, hot tub, bocce ball, corn hole, so many things for the kids! It really is a dream home and vacation spot. We visited the beach, ate out at local restaurants, even went jogging around the neighborhood every night. The hosts are very kind and responsive. Highly recommend for a multi-family vacation!

Amazing House

We spent a week at Sean and Lindsey's Black Barn Ranch. I can't express how amazing this house is! Every detail of the house was carefully planned out and executed - not only is it beyond beautiful, but it is really functional and was a great space for us to spend a week while also working and remote learning. The kitchen included anything you could need and the space was very kid-friendly. My 7 and 9 year old boys loved the games and books in the house. And as a family, we really enjoyed the outdoor games (shuffle board, bocci and bags). The pool and the hot tub were warm and comfortable. Overall, our stay at the Black Barn Ranch was fantastic and we would love the opportunity to visit again.

Fabulous stay in a gorgeous home

We picked this property because it looked like a dream home, and it did not disappoint. The property is in immaculate condition; we spent 2 hrs a day swimming in the pool; love the open kitchen/dining/living room for all of us to hang out; took advantage of the outdoor games like bocci ball, corn hole and shuffleboard; lots of little things were provided which is a really nice touch and different than a lot of properties, like detergents, garbage bags, dishwasher pods, coffee, condiments, a bottle of wine, room full of towels, board games, and much more.. Sean and Lindsey are great communicators and has a quick response time. They provided a binder full of info, which sounds so dreadful but came in handy.

Great family getaway

This is a beautiful family home. Our family spent a very memorable week here. I would give Black Barn Ranch the highest of recommendations. The pantry is amazingly stocked. Everything is impeccably clean . It is clear that much care and attention went into making our visit enjoyable. Little touches like a fresh vase of roses on the table did not go unnoticed. Sean and Lindsey could not have been more hospitable.

A perfect stay!

A beautiful property that was perfect in every way!! Sean and his wife are the most gracious hosts. The house was stunning (and new) sitting on a beautiful piece of property overlooking the hills. Close to town, but with a rural feel. The house itself could not have been better. Amazing kitchen, large common rooms, and drenched in natural light. The garden outside the kitchen was both idyllic and a source of delicious fresh produce! The outdoor area is California living at its finest!! Gorgeous pool and hot tub (with cover!) and many sitting areas with umbrellas. Corn hole, bocci, and shuffle board all at the ready! We had a truly wonderful stay from start to finish, and can’t wait to return!

Wonderful Getaway

Staying at Black Barn Ranch was fantastic experience. The layout of the home and it's amenities made it a perfect stay for a extended family gathering. We were a group of 11 people, with grandparents, and children ranging from 3-16. Black Barn had a plenty of things to keep the group entertained- pool, cornhole, shuffle board, bocce. Even tons of toys and books for our littles to choose from. The location was easy to get to from downtown, and close to parks. Wouldn't hesitate booking again. Thank you for having us Black Barn!
