The Dragonfly Ranch is truly an exceptional destination where we left the stresses and anxieties of work and city life behind and immersed ourselves in a beautiful, tranquil and secluded setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys and the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. Clouds gently rolled in and over the mountaintops bringing cooler temperatures several nights during our weeklong stay, before then rolling back out within an hour or two at most after sunrise, revealing an ever-changing landscape, a feast for the eyes and an elixer for the soul. The drive from the foothills thru the mountains to Dragonfly Ranch was fun, especially after passing through the gated entry 4 miles from the house. We saw deer, a lone coyote, and a gaggle of turkeys was unmoved and unconcerned one morning, by our presence just a few feet away. The drive was an integral part of an experience that my wife and I will always treasure, with wineries, restaurants and shopping close by in Atascadero, Templeton and Paso Robles; Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria and portions of the Pacific Coast Highway only 30-60 minutes away; and Monterrey and Carmel by the Sea beckoning just 2 hours north.The house was warm and cozy with all the comforts of home, and Kristine was kind, generous, accommodating and a model Host in every way! We could not have asked for a more pleasant and relaxing time, and could not have possibly enjoyed our stay at Dragonfly Ranch any more!

Such a hidden gem!! My family enjoyed our stay. Had everything you need to cook a good meal! Views were incredible..isolated! The drive up was an adventure. I prepared for a harrowing drive but it was quite simple in the end. We will be back!! Great for a weekend getaway where the goal is to disconnect and stay put.

Amazing views. Very comfortable home. The drive requires focus (deer, turkeys, tight turns). It’s part of the charm, but be aware if you plan to do a lo

The house has a magnificent setting in the foothills. The stars and wildlife were incredible. We saw turkeys, deer, birds including a great horned owl. The house has a western charm with numerous western antiques and paintings. We only had two issues - we couldn’t get the lock box to work but it turned out that the house wasn’t locked and we had very limited water flow and pressure in the bathroom sinks.
