Beautiful ranch inside and out. The pictures don't do it justice, Plenty of space for all 6 of us. All amenities worked. The well water was the best tasting that I've had. Had to be from a spring. I highly recommend taking a hike through the property and out into the national forest. Every morning is a joy to sit on the front porch, watch the sunrise and listen to the wildlife. The owner was a real blessing too! He made sure we were well taken care of. And we definitely enjoyed hearing stories of his many adventures. We definitely agree with his advice to plan ahead and bring groceries and a full tank of gas. The best option is to get what you need in Bakersfield before heading up ( an hour away). The drive out of Bakersfield starts slow through the oil fields and then just gets amazing as you h w ad north. Be ready for some fun switchback driving. On our first day we were greeted by 5 friendly horses. It was a daily goal of the kids to find and visit with them each day. It seems they like carrots better than apples. We saw turkeys, black tail deer, a golfer snake, horses, cattle, & birds everywhere. The quail and acorn woodpeckers were the most vocal. Early morning and in the evening the Great Horn Owls would call to each other. There are several hiking trails within 20 miles. All take about an hour to get to and all are worth the trip. The Trail of a Hundred Giants is well worth visiting. The Sequoia's are amazing. All in all, this is a great place to stay.

Everything from start to finish was amazing!! My family and I had the best experience with Carrie & Pat. They were excellent hosts and took very good care of us throughout the process and we will be definitely visiting again in the future...

Loved our stay at this comfortable very clean country home. The views are wonderful. So quiet and close enough to trail of 100 giants and a day trip to sequioa national Park but far enough to not have any noisy neighbors. Start gazing was incredible and owners were very friendly and accommodating. A very relaxing and a wonderful stay during a long 4th of July weekend we look forward to another get away.
