Vacation with the Horses in our Ranch House! Right off Hwy 395
Our ranch sits at the base of the Sierra Nevadas right off of Hwy 395. You will enjoy the stars, and the views of the 4 different mountain ranges that surround the valley. Sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful in the world. The ranch currently houses retired performance horses that can no longer compete but can do lessons for guests. You will enjoy each of their very different personalities! Jeep/hiking trails are just one mile west along the Sierra Nevadas. You will love the ease of access from our ranch.

A buddy and I stayed here during a hunting trip, and it was perfect for what we needed. The house was very clean and had plenty of room, especially since there was only the two of us.
I made the reservations last minute and the owner was incredibly accommodating when I requested an early - a day early - check in.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
Our family rented this home on a functioning horse property as an alternative to camping in the Jawbone Canyon/Dove Springs off road riding area over thanksgiving week. It is just a 20 minute drive to the gate for day trips. We weren’t looking for glamorous accommodations but a place that could hold 3 families and had trailer parking for the off road vehicles and this worked perfectly. Owner is easy to work with and responsive . Would definitely return!
Near great hiking and climbing. The ranch house is relaxed, clean and comfortable. Several in our party took horse riding lessons and had a great time. The people working with the horses were friendly. A really wonderful stay.
This place exceeded our expectations by a long shot! House was roomy and set on a farm right in front of the beautiful sierra Nevadas, lovely horses all around the property that you can visit with and pet, a real gem! We’d love to stay again sometime soon :)
Fantastic stay. If you are looking for a respite from big city - this is it! Lovely cottage with views on Sierra Nevada behind you and horses in front of you! I did get some riding classes and it was awesome. Definitely one of the places that I'd be so keen to return to!
Lovely ranch. We star gazed one night and it was spectacular. We also walked around and took some pics of the horses which my kids really liked. One of the ranch hands offered to bring us some carrots to feed the horses which was really nice of her. We stayed here as we day tripped for a day at Death Valley and it worked out really well for us.
Not the Ritz But Perfect For What We're Looking For
We do an annual dirt bike trip to the area. The place we usually stay was already booked, so we booked here which turned out to be better. We had 11 guys ultimately. I had originally booked 6 but more guys piled on the trip at the last minute. I figured that'd be fine since the listing said it sleeps 13. What I didn't know was 6 of the beds are in a converted garage that was locked when we arrived. Leslie sent over a cleaning crew and prepped the room once we let her know. It all worked out fine. Had 1/2 cord of wood delivered and had some nice bon fires in the fire pit Beds were clean and comfortable, plenty of pots and pans, clean and working BBQ. We'll be back!
My spouse and children stayed here for a couple of nights. The house was very comfortable, clean and had many beds. Horses were literally a few steps away on the large property which the kids loved. All the conveniences of home and a grocery store only 10 min away. Owner was very kind and easy to get in touch with. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
The experience was great, had a little trouble with the AC at first but Leslie was very prompt in getting it fixed within the hour. My kids fed the horses and they loved it. Quite area with beautiful sky’s at night!
A lovely house to stay in. The air conditioners couldn't quite keep up with the 100 degree weather, but that's not entirely surprising. The separate rooms for all family members was a great improvement over other hotels we've stayed in.
We didn't do anything with the horses, but when I woke up at 4am, the stars were clear, with a good view of the Milky Way and planets visible as blobs through binoculars.
Beautiful Location - trees and horses bring desert alive
We have stayed in dozens of places all over the world over the years, often costing many times more. We are very careful to pick carefully, and this ranked among the best. The setting is gorgeous - many trees and small stables and horse enclosures providing an intimate enclosed area against backdrop of the Sierras. House is large and in very good condition with many recent upgrades such as double windows and new appliances. Lots of land to play on; the family can spread out. Numerous places to visit for half day trips. Ridgecrest is the most elegant and well kept desert town I have visited and has all the conveniences of a small city, so easy to stock the large refrigerator.
Thanksgiving week was planned and reserved before this recent COVID-19 wave. We decided not to cancel, and we are glad we didn't. Everyone enjoyed the stay - especially the 2 year old and the three dogs. We kept our masks on. There was plenty of room to keep our distance.
As described, it's a ranch house. Horse paraphernalia everywhere. Not at all at 5-star resort. Well worn with a lot of dust, but that was ok, again, it's a ranch house.
As we are not horse people, we probably won't be back, but we're glad we had the chance to experience the RRanch.
I had no idea what to expect at this property. I read that the place "wasn't 5 star," and that's true. But what it lacks in matching towels and advanced kitchen gear, it makes up in character and experience. We brought our 8 year old here to get her some lessons and SHE LOVED IT. This is not your upscale LA stable experience, this is a real working ranch with a modest on site home for the guests and access to beautiful horses and a wonderful, small staff of people who live for these majestic creatures. There's no coddling here during the lessons, they will work you and teach you so much about being around your horse, a real education in my opinion. We are definitely coming back soon, and plan on making it a regular in our road trip rotation. Many thanks to Leslie (the host) for being so good to my daughter. We will see you again soon! Jen

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This property is unsafe and unsanitary for humans and animals. There was mold in the walls and cabinets, dust and spider webs everywhere and the blankets and sheets were dirty upon check in. FYI- There is a mandatory cleaning fee for this property added per reservation. The dishwasher was filled with dirty dishes and when i opened it, smelled as though it had been sitting for months and had rotting food in it. The coffee pot was filthy and full of grounds and calcium/mold and filth. The fire extuinguisher had a date of 2013. TV's didnt work. Stove, oven and kitchen were disgusting. Dishes were all old/mismatched and dirty. kitchen table was loose, bunk bed fell apart when my daughter went to lie in it. Heat barely worked. It was truly terrifying. If we didnt arrive late in the evening we would have never stayed. Owner tried to charge us for having additional guests (our children) once we complained in the AM. Also pet charges after we cancelled our reservation and checked out immediately in the AM- even though it was listed as Pet Friendly on Expedia and there was no area to add pets on the initial reservation. Beware when booking this property on Expedia -you will be routed to VRBO as this is a VRBO property. Wish I had been warned. I do not understand how this property is rated a 4.8. It should be condemned. It is a horse rescue- and should.not be operated as a VRBO rental.
We had a lovely time at this property. It was clean and comfortable and the grounds were amazing with the horses so close by. The air conditioning was working well and we had a most enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this place.
Clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for our long weekend
Exceeded expectations. So much nicer than hotel in Ridgecrest for Hwy 395 activities. Great AC. Day trips possible to Sierra trails and Death Valley. Would definitely stay again and have kids take advantage of riding lessons.
