We had a fantastic weekend at Nebula Ranch with a group of 12 friends. The house was spacious, comfortable, and very accommodating for a larger group.The views are absolutely beautiful, with rolling hills and open countryside that made the setting feel peaceful and special. The living areas were perfect for relaxing together and enjoying the scenery.Overall it was a wonderful place to stay and we would happily come back again.
Our stay at this ranch was stellar! Waking up to these hilltop views was so lovely and the long table outside was great for morning conversations and hang outs. Hot tub and sauna are added bonuses that we wished we used more. Thankful, rejuvenated and great stay!
Beautiful, incredibly peaceful and well appointed property. Extremely gracious and flexible hosts (we had some special requirements). Cannot recommend this place enough.
Beautiful property and house. It was perfect for 10 of us to share with comfortable beds and pull out sofa beds. It was clean. We loved the views and using the outdoor table, fire pit area, hot tub, and sauna. The hosts were very quick to communicate when we had a question. We had no problems. I definitely recommend staying here.
We loved our stay at Nebula Ranch. The location was ideal for our family. The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of space. We enjoyed the sauna, hot tub, bocce and fire pit. Communication with the owners was great. We would definitely recommend staying here and would like to come again!
We had a wonderful stay on Nebula Ranch! The pictures do not do the house justice and the views are absolutely breathtaking! The owners are super responsive and accommodating. It’s such a beautiful area to relax and unwind! We enjoyed all the amenities such as the hot tub and sauna. We had many laughs around the fire pit and enjoyed eating dinner outside. Would love to come back one day!
Could not have asked for a more beautiful home for our getaway! Incredible views inside and out. Spacious rooms, comfortable furniture, and an amazing outdoor space. We barbecued, played bocce ball, enjoyed the Finnish Hot Tub and relaxed around the fire pit in custom wine barrel Adirondack chairs. Every description on VRBO was accurate and Loreto was quick to respond to any questions we had, and welcomed us with a plate of homemade cookies! HIGHLY recommend this lovely hilltop haven.
For a gathering of 10 people including friends and family, we could not have asked for a better house or location. The hosts have created a home that offers coziness and fun in an breathtaking location.
We had bocce tournaments, hot tub and sauna soaks, deep conversations and belly laughs around the fire pit table, and deep sleeps at the end of every fabulous day.
The hosts were incredibly responsive during the reservation and check-in process. What truly sets them apart was their responsiveness when something went awry in the neighborhood with the electricity. They immediately worked to figure out the issue and did what they could to resolve it. Plus, in the meantime, they went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable.
This was a dream vacation locale that we hope we can return to again. We highly recommend it!
