Charming Cottage on 1,000 Acre Working Ranch - Only 10 miles from Pinnacles

Our charming La Casa Rosa Country Cottage is located on our beautiful organic olive farm. Features lovely sitting and dining areas, a new kitchen and bathroom. Master bedroom on main level and a 'loft style bedroom' downstairs (twin bed) with a trundle available for a 4th person (the space is fairly small with very little floor space when trundle is pulled out).

La Casa Rosa has a nice backyard, perfect spot to relax and read a good book or enjoy incredible star gazing after dark. Tennis, basketball, game room, hiking trails, variety of farm animals (llamas, alpacas, horses, donkeys, mini horse, sheep, peafowl, chickens, dogs, cats and more). Wi-fi and Smart TV. R&G Ranch Stay is only 10 miles North of Pinnacles National Park. We have amazing hiking trails here on our ranch too. Hike up to the top (approximately 40-45 min hike) and enjoy the breathtaking view from our custom deck; maybe watch the sunset or simply relax as you find yourself surrounded with the unique sounds of nature and occasional wildlife sighting/photo op.

Open seasonally April-October. Please check calendar for availability.

Guests have access to our tennis and basketball courts, ping pong, barbecue pit, game room w/pool table and air hockey and hiking trails in the hills. There's a great walking/running loop around the flat part of the property with beautiful views. We have a Farm Stand on site, featuring our award winning olive oil and other ranch related products. Stop by and say "Hello" to Shelley.

There is always someone available to answer questions and help you in any way we can to make your stay with us excellent in every way. We can recommend area restaurants and points of interest. A popular spot is the hiking trails and rock climbing at Pinnacles National Park, just 10 miles South of our ranch.

There are no TV stations available however we have a vast collection of DVD movies that you are welcome to view. There is a television and DVD player available in La Casa Rosa for your viewing pleasure.

There is also a new swing set and climbing structure for the children. We are a family friendly farm stay!

Beautiful stay!
The ranch property is awesome! So quiet and peaceful, hardly any other people, very clean and comfortable, and very tranquil grounds with lots of wildlife, including rabbits and birds, and even a resident red shouldered hawk. The host was easy to communicate with and this was a great location near Pinnacles NP. Highly recommends this stay for others. We would definitely stay here again.

A Piece of Heaven
Casa Rosa at Pinnacles Country Inn FAR exceeded our expectations. The home is comfortable, clean, and classy. The working ranch on which the home is located is absolutely gorgeous, with lots of room to play. And the business manager, Shelley, was an amazing host. We can't wait to go back!!

Perfect spot to stay for visiting Pinnacles
I can't say enough about the Charming Cottage. The location is perfect for visiting Pinnacles National Park. The cottage itself is located on a unique and scenic 1,000 acre working farm and was fabulous. Peacocks, llamas, donkeys, horses, dogs, rabbits! And it's full of olive trees. The "cottage" itself couldn't have been nicer. It was well stocked with everything we needed and was exceptionally comfortable. Last but certainly not least, the communication with the host and owner were excellent. We met Shelley when we first arrived and she couldn't have been nicer. If we ever visit Pinnacles again we would stay here in a heartbeat

Great house to visit Pinnacles National Park
The house was very clean and well-stocked for our stay. The ranch was beautiful and we really enjoyed walking around and seeing the animals. There was even a nice deck on the hilltop with great views of the area. The hosts were very friendly and easy to work with. This was a great place to stay!

Cozy cottage with easy access to Pinnacles
La Casa Rosa was a clean, comfortable place to stay while we did some hiking at Pinnacles National Park. We were glad we left some time our first afternoon to explore the ranch a bit to see the animals (peacocks, llamas, alpacas, horses, and two super friendly dogs) and hike up to the viewing deck on the property. Be aware that wifi isn't available in the cottages, only in a nearby common building with a game room. We'll definitely be back anytime we want to visit Pinnacles!

Beautiful, Very Peaceful
Gorgeous setting, especially in the winter/spring when the hills are green. We have stayed in a number of VRBO properties, and this was the best equipped in terms of the kitchen, bathroom and amenities. Also nicely decorated. I would give it 4.5 stars if they allowed that, primarily because there is no internet in the cottage and even in the nearby game room it it very inconsistent. 2 minor points: The shower needs new fixtures, and the main bed, although a comfortable mattress, is on top of a box spring that vibrates with every small movement. (I ended up sleeping on the twin bed downstairs because of that) But generally this is a great place to stay!

GREAT PROPERTY CLOSE TO PINNACLES!
Where to begin! First, Shelley (the property manager) is incredible. She provided detailed check-in information and was on-site in the farm store when we arrived at the property. You must try the olive oil that they product on-site! The property itself is wonderful! There is a ton to do on-site and lots of farm animals to see and pet. The Casa Rosa was perfect for my boyfriend and me and our friend. There is a downstairs “den” which was perfect for our friend. The kitchen is completely updated and well stocked. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is a great size. Also, everything was SPOTLESS. There are lots of small touches like robes and slippers which made our stay cozy. This is the perfect stay on your way to Pinnacles. We could not have been more comfortable. Thank you to Barbara and Shelley and the whole team for the perfect stay!! We will be back!

Perfect base for exploring Pinnacles National Park
Comfortable and clean home on lovely olive ranch. The ranch had resident farm animals and educational signs about them along with whimsical touches in the outdoor decor. We stayed here while hiking at Pinnacles. It was a short drive to the park filling an important need for lodging near the park for those of us who don’t camp. Communication with Shelley was excellent. Kitchen was new and well equipped.

Comfortable and lovely ranch stay
We had a great time at this comfortable home. My 4 year old was comfortable in the downstairs room and appreciated finding toys sprinkled throughout. We loved looking around and seeing the menagerie of critters. We will definitely be back the next time we need to visit my in-laws.

Highly recommend
We recently spent four nights at LaCasa Rosa Cozy Cottage at R&G Ranch Stay. The on-line pictures do not do this rental justice. The cottage is a nice size house, very clean and updated with all of the amenities that you need for your stay, including a state-of-the-art kitchen, washer, dryer and nice fluffy towels, plus lots of extras. It is so peaceful here. Shelley, who is the business manager, greeted us by name upon our arrival. Shelley was very friendly and personable and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and to make us feel welcome, including answering all of our questions about olive trees/oil and farm animals! We enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the dogs, cats, bunnies, cows, horses, llamas, alpacas, donkey, mini horse, and peacocks/peahens. There is also a large game room with all kinds of games to keep the kids (and adults) occupied. We then met Barbara, one of the owners, and Barbara also went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure we were comfortable during our stay. The location is very convenient if you plan on visiting Pinnacles National Park or if you choose not to venture out, there is a nice hiking trail right on this property. We truly enjoyed our short stay at LaCasa Rosa and would highly recommend this location.

Great place to stay near Pinnacles National Park
For a hiking getaway to Pinnacle National Park, this was a perfect place to stay. After getting groceries in Hollister, we had everything we needed in the well-appointed cottage. The horses, llamas, peacocks and numerous wild rabbits were entertaining. And Shelley was warm, welcoming and helpful. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing getaway
We loved everything! Shelley was a wonderful host. Her clear communication and kindness were much appreciated. The amenities were fantastic. We loved playing with Scarlett and Ringo, the game room and amenities and hiking in the property. We had brought plenty of food and appreciated the water bottles and kitchen supplies.

beautiful setting
Just returned from a wonderful birthday celebration at the Oils of Paicines. The little pink house was a perfect size for my husband and me, with a night's visit from my son, sleeping down in the "cave". Shelley was such a jewel to help us with anything we needed. It was close to the Pinnacles National Park, spectacular! Also, there's a deck on a mountaintop above the house which is well worth the steep hike to have a picnic and enjoy the view.

Perfect place for Pinnacles
The house is clean, well stocked, and has nice views. We would recommend it as a great base when visiting Pinnacles. Just make sure to stock up on what you plan to eat as you will be staying in a very rural area. BTW - the coffee the hosts supply is excellent.

A Perfect Place to Stay for a Visit to Pinnacles NP
We stayed here in April 2017 so that we could visit Pinnacles National Park. The park's east entrance is only 10 miles down the road, and as far as I know it is the closest place to stay unless you have an RV! We stayed in La Casa Rosa guest house on the ranch and it was truly lovely and comfortable with everything you would need for a visit (except food of course!). It was a peaceful getaway and a welcoming place to return to after a day at the NP. We also got to enjoy the lighted tennis court. While there is no wifi and phone service at the park there IS both at the ranch and that was a real benefit. Shelley, the manager, and Barbara, one of the owners, were friendly and very accommodating to all of our needs. All in all, a perfect stay.

A Great Experience
We had a great time at the ranch. It is very peaceful there, and the accommodations are excellent - our unit was new and very comfortable. We loved being around all the animals, kids enjoyed the game room. Next time we'd arrange ahead for riding lessons. Be sure to bring food - it is a good distance to a store, but the kitchen was great and we ate very well. Our hosts Shelley, Barbara, and Jerry were very gracious and welcoming - a great experience all around!

Hidden gem! Amazing owners!! Recommend for a quiet getaway!
What an amazing find. The description of this place is perfect! Yes you do have all of those animals listed, on the property. The owners Barbara and Jerry are amazingly nice people - so friendly and warm and want to make you feel so at home. The property manager is just the same - Shelley was so helpful and always making sure we were comfortable. All of them went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. :) Barbara and Jerry even invited us to their private hilltop deck with some breathtaking views! They are extremely nice and humble people. The cottage is just very very cute, extremely clean and very well equipped! Everything is almost brand new and they maintain everything very well. We were a family of 3 adults and 2 children and we were very comfortable. They have pretty much any baby gear that you can think of! The property - wow so beautiful! So much to enjoy - tennis courts, the game room, the variety of animals.....Shelley even got us some fresh Basil and Rosemary from Barbara's Organic garden :) It is really close to the Pinnacles ~15 min away. We went there for a few hours to hike and it was great to come to a place just like home. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant! We will be back.:)
