Were a family of 5, and came over for a baseball tournament for our oldest. Being a big family, with two under two, a hotel is not really ideal for sleep. We found Anna’s home and felt like it was a perfect fit for us. Turns out we were right! Scenery was beautiful, the horses were a great sight to wake up to every morning. The home itself is better than the pictures. Wide open floor plan, with more than enough space for all of us. Beds are comfortable, showers were clean and had great water pressure/heat. We didn’t have any issues or problems with appliances or lights etc. Communicating with Anna was timely, friendly, and easy. She made time for our kids to pet the horses, which were well mannered and beautiful. We would 100% book a stay here again!

We had the most wonderful stay at Anna's Homestead! From the moment we arrived (early, which Anna graciously accommodated while still cleaning from the previous guests), we felt welcomed and at ease.The setting is absolutely serene — rolling countryside, quiet mornings, and Anna's beautiful horses who were so gentle and kind. It felt like stepping into a different world, far from the noise of everyday life. This was exactly the country getaway we needed.Anna was an incredible host — attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely available for anything we needed. You can tell she takes pride in this property and truly cares about her guests' experience. The little touches made all the difference.If you're looking for a peaceful retreat outside Ellensburg with stunning views, kind animals, and a host who goes above and beyond — this is it. We're already talking about when we can come back. Thank you, Anna, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We wanted to take our dogs out of Seattle for July 4th weekend, as they are terrified of fireworks, so decided to head out east towards Ellensburg for a couple nights. Anna was great about allowing them to tag along. The house and property were absolutely perfect. Two separate, fully fenced in yards, front and back, with great views all around — especially out back. The property is secluded enough, but still only about 10-15 minutes outside of Kittitas & Ellensburg areas. If you enjoy beer, Iron Horse and Whipsaw are both good and pretty close. We picked up Thai one night and ate in the other. We had everything we needed and then some. The house was bigger than what we're used to, so had far more than enough space to spread out. Comms with Anna were great as well. Wonderful stay; highly recommend for a lovely, chill time in the valley!!

The host Ana was very helpful with our stay and promptly replyed to messages. The house is large with lots of space to accommodate a large family. The yard is a great size and fully fenced for fur babies! We loved waking up to the horses just outside the fence line, with cups of coffee. Very peaceful area to be able to sit out front with a book!

Anna’s space was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. The home was clean, quiet, and most welcoming. We stayed for a weekend while attending a concert series at the Gorge and the vantage highway was a sweet little work around with the traffic and coming back at night was a breeze. Our host was very responsive to any questions and helped accommodate all of our needs. We will certainly stay here again when visiting the area.

About the host

Hosted by Anna longanecker

Host profile image
Welcome to Bar 41 — a place built on family, hard work, and heart.

My grandparents first created Bar 41 as a boys home — a safe place where people could feel welcomed, cared for, and connected. Around the table, strangers became family. Out with the horses and under the open skies, people found peace, healing, and a sense of belonging. Over time, Bar 41 grew into a beloved dude ranch where guests traveled from all over, returning year after year to experience the warmth, laughter, and simple beauty of ranch life.

Inspired by the values my grandparents passed down to me, I’ve continued their legacy by creating this homestead with my own two hands, and with plenty of sweat, tears, and love along the way. My hope is that every guest who comes here feels the same comfort and connection that Bar 41 has always offered.

Here, the horses roam freely, the birds sing in the mornings, and life moves at a slower, more peaceful pace. It’s a place to kick your feet up, breathe deep, share stories, laugh around the table, and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you come for quiet mornings, beautiful sunsets, or simply to rest your soul, you’ll always be welcomed like family at Bar 41.

This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place filled with heart, history, and love.

Welcome to Bar 41… where life is a little slower, a little more peaceful, and a whole lot more fun.
