We had a great time staying on the ranch. The cottage was the perfect size for our family and our son loved exploring the ranch and seeing all the animals. The host was very responsive and able to get us everything we needed. We didn't realize we were staying on a wine trail so that was an added bonus of being able to explore wineries in the area. It was a great central location for us to explore Pinnacles National Park and also go into Monterey. We would definitely stay here again!

Unterkunft und Besitzer waren gut. Kommunikation, Auskunft, Erreichbarkeit von E-Domizil und Expedia waren mehr als mangelhaft, insbesondere was die Kaution betrifft!!!

Lovely quant private cottage with comfortable beds in the heart of wine country. Highly recommend La Plaza in Soledad for exquisite pastries, freshly squeezed OJ and bread rolls. Easy gateway to exploring Pinnacles national Park on the quieter western side.
