About this property

Vacation with the Horses in our Ranch House! Right off Hwy 395

Our ranch sits at the base of the Sierra Nevadas right off of Hwy 395. You will enjoy the stars, and the views of the 4 different mountain ranges that surround the valley. Sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful in the world. The ranch currently houses retired performance horses that can no longer compete but can do lessons for guests. You will enjoy each of their very different personalities! Jeep/hiking trails are just one mile west along the Sierra Nevadas. You will love the ease of access from our ranch.

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!

Desert Getaway

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!

Perfectly Rustic

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.

Lovely ranch

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.

Lovely home with beautiful views and horses!

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 :)

This property is unsafe and unsanitary for humans and animals. There was mold in the walls and cabinets, dust and spider webs everywhere and the blankets and sheets were dirty upon check in. FYI- There is a mandatory cleaning fee for this property added per reservation. The dishwasher was filled with dirty dishes and when i opened it, smelled as though it had been sitting for months and had rotting food in it. The coffee pot was filthy and full of grounds and calcium/mold and filth. The fire extuinguisher had a date of 2013. TV's didnt work. Stove, oven and kitchen were disgusting. Dishes were all old/mismatched and dirty. kitchen table was loose, bunk bed fell apart when my daughter went to lie in it. Heat barely worked. It was truly terrifying. If we didnt arrive late in the evening we would have never stayed. Owner tried to charge us for having additional guests (our children) once we complained in the AM. Also pet charges after we cancelled our reservation and checked out immediately in the AM- even though it was listed as Pet Friendly on Expedia and there was no area to add pets on the initial reservation. Beware when booking this property on Expedia -you will be routed to VRBO as this is a VRBO property. Wish I had been warned. I do not understand how this property is rated a 4.8. It should be condemned. It is a horse rescue- and should.not be operated as a VRBO rental.

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.

Exceeded expectations. So much nicer than hotel in Ridgecrest for Hwy 395 activities. Great AC. Day trips possible to Sierra trails and Death Valley. Would definitely stay again and have kids take advantage of riding lessons.

Desert Ranch

The house had plenty of room for 2 of us and our dog. The were horses right next to the house so we walked around to visit them daily, etc. They were friendly and beautiful! Our dog loved them. The privacy of the house was fantastic. It's located at the base of the mountains so the views were amazing. One of the things I loved about the ranch is that it's used for helping children with disabilities, behavioral issues, etc. The host was kind/responsive and the house had everything we needed. Thank you for having us!
