★ABOUT THE BARN★
Previously a modest tin barn dating back to the 1940s, adorned with a large pink barn door, this delightful studio has undergone an extraordinary DIY makeover. While the pink doors serve as a reminder of its humble beginnings, the studio has now been elevated to a stunning and sophisticated space.

This spacious studio is adorned with vintage accents, wooden features, and a charming antique bathtub as its centerpiece. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space, offering an unobstructed view of the stunning San Jacinto mountain range. The decor is a delightful blend of cherished heirlooms passed down from our grandmothers, along with carefully curated finds sourced from estate sales, yard sales, and online markets.

Step outside and immerse yourself in five acres of stunning landscape, complete with mesmerizing amenities that offer a breathtaking view of San Jacinto looming over the valley. You will also be warmly greeted by our friendly co-hosts - a delightful menagerie consisting of 12 dogs, 2 mini-horses, 2 mini-cows, 4 goats, 7 pigs, 7 emus, and one giant Sulcata tortoise in addition to host of other smaller animals like chicken, ducks and guinea pigs.

Please note that we have 12 dogs, 2 mini-horses, 2 mini-cows, 4 goats, 7 pigs, 7 emus, and one giant Sulcata tortoise in addition to a host of other smaller animals like chicken, ducks and guinea pigs. This means that you really must love animals to enjoy your stay here – they’re all friendly and will definitely come to say hello. Many of them you can hug and cuddle, and if you need help making that happen let us know 🙂

Here are some of their names, in case you're wondering. Dogs are Baby Shark, Tilt, Little Bear, Saucy, Lapsang, Souchong, Ocho, Squigs, Junior, Pancake, Loofa, and the Ancient One (aka Crouton). Pigs are Piggie Smalls (aka Big Pig), Skinny Pig, Nice Pig, Scaredy Pig, Clem, Dudu, and the little pink new guy TBD.

Our beloved livestock guardian dogs, 3 Anatolian Shepherds and 1 Great Pyranees (all rescued) diligently protect the ranch from coyotes and may bark at night. We understand that this may be bothersome to some guests and we provide earplugs as a courtesy to ensure a peaceful night's rest.
