Rural, country property about 5 minutes from Kelseyville. Kelseyville is very small, but has an excellent drive through coffee shop (its SUPER CUTE and has amazing coffee + lattes. Don't miss), several very good restaurants + unique wineries. Calistoga is an absolutely GORGEOUS 45 minute drive south. Lakeport, Middletown, and other towns are within 20-30 minute drive for full services/hospitals. If you've never been to Lake County, you are in for a treat. The landscape is so so pretty. It feels like a more rural/wilderness version of Sonoma County- lots of gorgeous, windy roads through oak-studded hills.

Must have a car :-)

WATER:

House is serviced by a natural well. We do not recommend drinking the water, although its fine for bathing, washing, and brushing teeth. Please bring drinking water with you. If you need more, you can order through Instacart or pick some up in Kelseyville or Middletown.

HOT TUB:

Hot Tub is Lake Fed. The water is treated, but unfiltered and may have some discoloration and sediment. Think of it more like a natural hot spring experience than a maintained spa! Hot tub is serviced weekly by a professional hot tub maintenance company.

RANCH ANIMALS:

4 Alpacas and 3 cows live on site. They have free-range of our property and they like to visit the house, so you may find them hanging out under they shady portico or sometimes on the deck. Its very important to always (!!!) close the livestock gate after you drive through, so they don't escape and wander down the highway. We want to keep our alpacas safe! We also have an outdoor barn cat, though he makes himself scarce so you may not see him. (There is a bowl of cat food and water for him outside on the deck).

DOGS:

We are a dog friendly ranch, however kindly understand that our alpacas are free-range. All dogs that come onto the ranch must be disclosed in advance (name, weight, and breed) and be under your control at all times. They must not be allowed to chase the alpacas. There is a pet fee and damage deposit required for dogs. Thank you!

INTERNET :

WI-FI is provided by starlink, and while the Wi-Fi is very fast, it is not very stable as it is weather dependent satellite internet. It is great for email and browsing, but our Roku TV internet can be spotty at times. We do not recommend relying on our internet if you need to stream multiple devices for work from home

SECURITY CAMERAS:

Due to the remote nature of the property, we have exterior cameras on site to keep an eye on things when we are not there. The camera's monitor who comes and goes to the house, and allows us to check on the alpacas remotely. We also have wildlife cameras set up at various trails around the property to monitor for coyote and mountain lion activity.

RANCH HELPER

Our Ranch helper, Richard, may be on site to feed the alpacas, tend to the garden/landscape, and make small repairs. Generally, this happens mid-week, but occasionally he may need to arrive when we have guests.

RANCH LIFE

This is a working ranch, so you may see ranch tools, equipment, etc. There are storage areas with farm equipment that are locked off. The property is home to bobcats, occasional coyote, fox, wild turkeys etc, and animal noises may be heard day and night. Due to the indoor/outdoor nature of the home, the occasional spider or ant may find its way inside.

PRICING:

If you have 6 or fewer guests, the pricing only includes the main house. The Glamping Barn will be locked off and inaccessible to keep the cleaning costs lower for your group. If you have 7 or more guests, the nightly price will include the Glamping Barn and you will get a separate entrance code for those rooms. If you have a small group, but want the extra space + bathrooms, we charge an extra $300 to cover the additional cleaning and laundering of those rooms (we send all of our sheets/towels off site for laundry, which gets expensive, so we do charge accordingly). Please Note: We do not rent the suites by themselves as it gets too complicated.
