About this property

Pinnacles Ranch - Closest to the Park (2 miles to East Entrance)

This hillside single-story home overlooks the Pinnacles National Park and surrounding ranch land. It's close to the Bay Area but feels remote & worlds apart. Come experience rural and wild California in a comfortable home. I'm an experienced host on Airbnb but new to VRBO. You can see my listing and reviews here: www.pinnaclesranch.com

The house includes:
- Large kitchen
- Large dining table
- Open floor plan between kitchen, dining room and living area
- Bedroom #1 with 1 queen bed
- Bedroom #2 with 2 twin beds
- Living area with 2 couches that can be converted to futon beds
- Bathroom with combination shower and bathtub
- Outside, there is a large patio with propane BBQ, bar area and outdoor furniture
Guest access:
The house is set on a 200 acre ranch, and guests are welcome to take walks around the property. There are some amazing views of the Pinnacles as well as the Diablo Mountain range from various places on the property.
(NOTE: Access to the house requires a smartphone and registration with the AugustHome app.)
Inside the house, guests have access to the Kitchen, Dining Area, Family Room, 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom. Guests are locked out from private areas and do not have access to the garage, mudroom and owner's bedroom.
Other things to note:
The home is near the Pinnacles National Park (just 2 miles from the east side entrance) but very remote from other services, which is part of what makes the area so special. It's so close to the bay area and yet feels worlds apart. Pinnacles Ranch is a place to unplug and explore the wilderness of the national park or the rural lifestyle of surrounding ranches.

The nearest store, restaurant or gas station is about 30 miles away so guests should plan ahead and bring the things they will need during their stay (e.g., food, cooking supplies, toiletries, etc.). NOTE: Hollister to the north and King City to the south provide the nearest services. Be sure to stock up before your arrival.

Also, please note that there is no cell phone access in the area. However, the ranch house has a landline phone and a wi-fi network that guests can use. There is also no broadcast TV or cable TV service, but the house has a smart TV monitor that can be used to stream and a Blu-ray DVD player that can be used for movies if guests want to bring their own DVDs.

Gorgeous Gateway to 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.

Great Stay

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

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.
