Great stay in a unique spot on the ranch! Loved waking up to the neighboring alpaca and llama, and the hosts were very responsive and friendly. Peaceful stay with ultra convenient access to the park )

This is an amazing cottage to use as a base for exploration of Pinnacles NP. The nearby town of Paicines is convenient for restaurants too. We hope to return to the area again someday and we’ll definitely schedule the trip around availability at the ranch.

Great stay! Loved the dogs on the property. The room was cozy. Only real gripe was quite a few spiders in the room but understandable as a ranch environment. Also, the poncho wearing mannequin on the drive in is quite scary at night.

The room is very small with very little space for two suitcases. The room was well stocked but the bed is very soggy. It should be replaced.

The house is a cutie with front porch to enjoy. Inside it’s tight for 2 people to move around. Coffee tea soap shampoo and even deposable slippers were provided. We enjoyed walking the property and seeing the fruit bearing trees and peacocks, bees, and many plants. Take note that like the description states, this little house is right next door to the dog kennel and the peacock dwelling. One night the dogs barked from 2-4am. There were earplugs provided but I can’t sleep in them. It is a perfect location for visiting Pinnacles National Park east entrance, a 1/2 day park, in our opinion.

Great base for exploring Pinnacles National Park. The game room and property is super fun. Would recommend stocking up on food prior to arrival as restaurants are a bit of a drive or have days they are closed in the off season.

While quite cozy, the cabin (Love Nest) was lovely, with a wonderful porch. Communication with the owners/manager was excellent. Location was great for our exploration of Pinnacles National Park. Would stay here again should we come back, although maybe choose a larger cabin.

Gorgeous property, very cute cabin, close to national park with lots of wonderful places all around. Top marks across the board, only minor negative was that we were not given the gate code/details of where exactly to go on the property when checking in, so had a bit of confusion there, but luckily wasn’t too difficult to figure out

We appreciated the opportunity to stay at this lovely farm. The property has expansive grounds where they grow olive trees and produce award-winning olive oil. I especially enjoyed walking around the property and visiting the horses, alpacas, and peacocks. The two dogs were also very friendly and welcoming without being overly attentive.We enjoyed the informational signs throughout the property, which provided interesting details about the olive trees and animals. We also hiked the one-mile trail on the hill on the property for the beautiful view overlooking the farm, surrounded by mountains. We chose this place because it is just 17 minutes from the east entrance of Pinnacles National Park.The cabin was comfortable, the bed was comfortable, the AC worked well, and all the basic bathroom necessities are supplied. A coffee maker, coffee, tea, and a small refrigerator were provided. There was also a TV and DVD player, although we never used them. Instead, we preferred sitting on the chairs on our porch, enjoying a glass of wine and the peaceful surroundings. I would stay here again and would recommend it to our friends.

Close to Pinnacles

We enjoyed our stay in the “Love Nest”. The cabin was exactly as described and clean/comfortable. The ranch is nice, animals fun to see. We hiked in Pinnacles three days and this was the perfect spot to come home to.

Ranch Stay in a Cute Little Cabin

If you like being "on a ranch", this is the place! This cabin is relatively newly built, tastefully appointed, and blessed with plenty of shade. The ranch manager and staff were helpful, kind, and quite accommodating. We liked being so close to Pinnacles National Park.

Great hidden treasure

Really great, unique place to stay. Property is tucked away from the road and is very private. Awesome olive trees everywhere. Great views of the rolling hills of the area. Cabin itself was very comfy. Highly recommended it!!

Sweet Little Spot

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in our cozy cottage. After visiting and hiking at Pinnacles National Park we sat at the picnic table and had our wine and cheese, The Adirondack chairs on the porch and in the yard were nice. We purchased several bottles of the delicious olive oil, soap, and mustard. Very neat place to stay.
