This property was the perfect place for our three night stay with our 2 pups. Teri and Greg were great hosts and we were given a dozen fresh chicken eggs that were fabulous! Weather was a bit too cold for us to take advantage of the pool but can only imagine it would be a blast!

Serenity near the city

A tranquil escape from the bustling city, yet close enough to explore everything. A comfortable, well equipped casita that allowed us to relax and rest after busy days. With a great view of the Vasquez Rocks and the privacy of a long drive and pasture out front it was a perfect little paradise. We loved every moment spent there.

Beautiful ranch retreat with great hosts

The home was spotless and very well equipped. Furnishings were all very comfortable. Water pressure was excellent. The ranch was so quiet, exactly what we expected and wanted. Greg & Teri were great hosts and we enjoyed meeting their critters. We would definitely come back here!

Greg and Teri were wonderful hosts. They made us feel at home. They were very generous in sharing their beautiful ranchette with us. From fresh eggs from their chickens to firing up the hot tub for us to relax in after a long day, they were great. We would definitely plan to stay here again if we get the chance. The property was great and Greg and Teri are really nice and genuine.

Vasquez rocks stay

Greg and Terri were lovely hosts. They quickly replaced the refrigerator that was not cooling. The pool and hot tub area is peaceful and relaxing. The one bedroom has a queen bed and two trundles which is good for a family. The bathroom is very large and everything was very clean. Would gladly return.

Comfortable Country Stay

We enjoyed our 2-month stay. Love hearing the distant chickens and roosters. The bed and linen were very comfortable and didn't lose a night's sleep. And we loved the large shower. Teri and Greg respected our privacy and were very quick to answer any questions. They would go out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. Great people as well - the type you could easily make friends with. We highly recommend this accommodation and wouldn't hesitate to rebook if ever in the area.

Bill and family were lovely guests. They took care of the home as I'd it was their own. They were quiet and we hardly saw them, but when we did they were delightful. Over the course of 2 months, we enjoyed getting to know them. Definitely guests we would love to host again.

A Desert Oasis Next to Vasquez Rocks

The perfect spot for anyone in the entertainment industry filming at one of the nearby movie ranches on in Santa Clarita. The owners Greg and Teri are a retired stuntman and a publicist. They are gracious hosts who provide any number of amenities. Float around the pool and hot tub, which can be heated or cooled depending on the weather. Admire the many chickens and goats on this pretty ranchette. Enjoy fresh laid eggs for breakfast when the hens are obliging. The Vasquez Rocks are visible out the front driveway. (You can practically hear Captain Kirk fighting Gorn the Lizard). The backporch and front porch are perfect for gatherings and enjoying morning coffee. The electric gate provides extra privacy and seclusion. Greg will even lend a scooter to let people in, if you ask nicely. Fully stocked kitchen, Keurig Coffeemaker. Spacious closet. Enormous shower. All the delivery services from restaurants to grocery delivery and alcohol delivery will drop off at the gate. If you let them in, they will drop off at the front door. A wonderful experience. I stayed for two weeks. Hope to stay again.

We love for our guests to enjoy our little slice of heaven! We're a family of 4, living in the main house. I'm 66 yr old, Teri, working from home as a Publicist. My husband, Greg, is a retired veteran of Vietnam and was a stuntman for TV and film for 27 years, motorcycles, car jumps, chases, wrecks, high falls, and fire gags. Our son, Christian, works for Triscenic Productions, managing sound stages, facilities and operations. Christian's 12 year old daughter and our granddaughter, Hope also lives here, along with Bella, her little Rat Terrier. Our newest addition is our Australian Shepherd pup, Dixie, left as a gift on our road and when chickens are laying eggs, help yourself! Would love to see you here!

Why they chose this property

We love the gorgeous sunrise over Vasquez Rocks, sunset over mountains at the pool, starry nights, and being in the country, with restaurants, wine tasting Sweetwater Farms grocery store just a few minutes down the road in our little town.

We love our solar heated salt water pool and spa. fire pits front and back. You have your own covered front porch with seating and BBQ. Your back porch overlooks the pool and has a dining table, ping pong table and gym equipment.

Feel free to roam the acreage. Gather fresh eggs from the Chickens or ask us and we will bring them to you.

We love our little town, just a 3 minute drive to our little Agua Dulce town, actually named "Sweetwater". We have 2 restaurants including the best Mexican food at "Maria Bonita", and great breakfast, lunch and dinner at "Cowboy Tavern". Don't miss "The Rustic Mercantile" a coffee Barista, ice cream, gift shop, in a delightful setting. The greatest tiniest hardware store that you must see, packed neatly with you name it! We even have an incredibly stocked "Sweetwater Farms" grocery store, with hot food takeout, an ice cream bar, and almost anything you might need.
Fun to see people ride horses into town, and the Pacific Crest Trail Hikers.
We love our home!
