The ranch house is incredibly well appointed with games for all ages, a large kitchen with every pot, pan, dish, and appliance imaginable, comfortable beds, and a wonderful host. The patio is a great gathering place for family and friends. It is only two miles from Pinnacles National Park. I highly recommend the ranch!

The photos do not do the house justice. There is a large living room and kitchen more than adequate for six adults to hang out play games, cook, etc. Although it is a dated home, there are several updates throughout to make it very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to make meals together. It was conveniently located 2 miles from pinnacles so a great place to stay if you wanna do daily hikes.

Property was a nice, quiet getaway with easy access to the east entrance to Pinnacles National Park. House had a large kitchen for preparing meals. This was a necessity as closest town is 30 miles away.

The property was very remote and a great place to relax. The living room and kitchen were large and great to use as a gathering space. The outdoor patio was also a great place to sit and listen to the birds and watch the hummingbirds. Beds were very comfortable. Overall this was a great getaway place!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It's a beautiful area and the ranch provided a space to bird watch, gaze at the stars, and sit on the porch as the sun was rising with coffee in hand. The ranch was very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Would book again.

We stayed at Pinnacles Ranch for 2 nights during our visit to the National Park. It was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, the common spaces were great and the bedrooms were large and had comfy beds. Loved the vibe of the house and would definitely recommend!

We had a great time at the location. We took the family to visit Pinnacles and this was well located to visit the park. David had a lot of great tips, which were helpful for our stay. The place was clean and well stocked for a comfortable stay. The kids had a great time even after all the hikes, cave exploring, and shenanigans. They really appreciated the soft beds. Lol. Oh, at night turn off the porch lights and enjoy all the beautiful stars for a bit. David was good at communicating and we hope to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful first visit to Pinnacles.

The home is very clean and comfortable. Beautiful ranch and vistas and so convenient to the East entrance of Pinnacles. Unfortunately we weren’t able to enjoy the very nice patio space as the weather was quite cool and wet when we were there. We did enjoy some bird watching while there and the fabulous views of the Pinnacles

This place is fantastic! It has room for a lot of people, but it was perfect for just my husband and myself. It really is just a couple of miles from the park entrance. It had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. We would definitely refer this home to our friends.

We had a lovely stay here. David was kind enough to facilitate a slightly early check in and late check out so we managed to do 3 beautiful hikes during our 2 night stay. The location is fantastic with respect to proximity to Pinnacles. The house was even nicer than it looks in photos with cool modern ranch decor, huge kitchen/dining area, and open floor plan for main living space. Highly recommend.

Not only is it only two miles from the entrance, which allowed us an early entrance avoiding the crowds, it is a very lovely house that is even better than the photos show. We really enjoyed the quiet, the scenery and the comfort of the house. Thank you for making the house available.

Restaurants/grocery 30 miles away but not needed if you come prepared. Home is short drive to Pinnacles east entrance and is a great, private place to rest and relax after a day of hiking.
