Although well behaved dogs are allowed to be in the guest home and be off a leash while you are present, they are not allowed in the home during the day if you leave. BRING YOUR HORSES We have horses of our own, but we now are offering the option for guests to bring their horses! Horse pens that are set up in an enclosed pasture allow you to have your horses in a pen, graze on a half-acre of pasture, or if a special request, in a barn with a stall and paddock. The pen/pasture is located directly across from the guest home, so you can enjoy a glass of wine while watching your horse's graze. You are free to ride the property or to trailer your horses out and ride some of the wonderful riding trails in the area, including Yosemite Guest access Our 56 acres are open for hiking. riding and exploring. In the warmer months, we encourage you to stay on the open quad trails where you can watch where you are walking/riding. Please always close gates behind you. Our main road has cattle grazing and if the front gate is left open, cattle can enter the roadway. Please be mindful of closing all gates behind you. Other things to note You may need reservations for Yosemite! Please check prior to booking/arriving. Please note the driveway is nearly a mile long of dirt road. Most stock height cars will have no problem reaching our property but lowered cars may have issues. This is a ranch style property that is quite hilly so come prepared. The late spring/summer/early fall is rattlesnake season. We have used a weed eater on the entire property around the home so you can easily see where you are walking. We have seen them near the guest home as well as our home every year, maybe one or two. Please call us to remove the snake if you see one. They are reclusive and don't want to hurt anybody with the exception of the ample supply of ground squirrels.
