Also, this is California, so we love outdoor living and have a wonderful outdoor courtyard complete with a campfire pit, BBQ grills, and scenic sitting and dining areas. This is a 41 acre ranch and you will have access to just about all of it. With prior approval, you may take a hike, at your own risk, in our pastures that are home to our cattle and horses. They are used to people, but as with any animal, keep a safe distance. Hikes to the highest hills of the ranch offer spectacular views of the Redstone Valley and surrounding ridge lines. FIRE DANGER IS REAL HERE. We will let you know if you can have a campfire or not. Do not ever throw out burning material as it will probably start a wildfire. During your stay We live here too and have hosted people from around the world for years now, so chances are we will interact, but will give you as much privacy as you want. We are a fun loving bunch who love to cook, entertain, and enjoy good wine. Jennifer and I are typically here from Oct-May. Due to our jobs in the entertainment business, we are gone on tour June-Sept. Otherwise, our caretaker who lives next door will check you in and see to your needs and I am just a phone call away. Our resident dogs Sadie, Moose, and Copper are friendly. Our 14 horses, 10 chickens, and small herd of cattle are typically friendly as well, but we require that you check with us before go into any pasture and if you do, ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE GATE BEHIND YOU. The straight wire fences are electrified, do not touch them They won't kill you, but you'll never forget it or touch it again lol. There are lots of hiking opportunities here locally and on the ranch. If you are interested in that let us know and we'll fill you in. There are many board games available and corn hole boards in the barn. Horseshoe pit is coming soon. We do rent the other room downstairs on airbnb so you may be sharing the house with a few other guests. You will see people here that work for us taking care of our livestock and working around the ranch. Feel free to say hello and visit with them. If you are not familiar with livestock and would like to tag along to help them feed the animals, please let us know and we'll arrange it. It's quite an experience if you have never done it.

Our friend Sandi, from Healing Hands Massage in town, is an incredible massage therapist. You can visit her place in town or she can come here to the ranch. POLICY ON SMALL CHILDREN, TODDLERS, AND THE PEOPLE YOU BRING- and I'm going to be very straight forward about this... We do not recommend that small, undisciplined kids or toddlers stay at our ranch. Here's why. This is a real working ranch with lots of things that city kids may not be used to. Things like livestock, electric fences, tractor implements, and other things could be mistaken as playground equipment that could be damaged. More importantly, your child could be seriously injured. Our house is not child proof. We have nice things on tables, cleaners that are accessible in cabinets, etc. If you break it, you buy it. Trust me, we have seen it all in the time we have been airbnb hosts and don't want to go through any of that again. If you have young disciplined children that mind you, then let's talk about it when you make your reservation request. Again, if we do accept them, then you are responsible for their behavior and damage they may cause. Also, know that if they disturb the peace with us or our other guests that you may be asked to leave out of consideration of others without refund. So please consider this carefully before booking your stay. Should your family not be as good fit staying in our home, you can still book a trail ride. We are one of the top public horseback riding concessions in the area with professional guides and gentle horses.
