The property
The house & the land
The stay
The main house is 5,745 square feet of ranch home on the family's land outside Salinas — 4 bedrooms, 7 beds, 5 bathrooms, and a kitchen built for cooking for everybody at once. Outside there is a heated pool, a hot tub and a fire pit; inside, a pool table, a piano and a fireplace for the evening. Starlink keeps everyone connected even this far out.
Outside the fence line there are horses in the pasture, oaks that have been here far longer than the house, and flower beds the family keep themselves. The land runs to golden hills in every direction.
It suits groups that have outgrown hotel rooms — families taking a week together, teams in for a tournament, work crews, reunions. The house sleeps 12, and up to 20 with the bunkhouse. Monterey, Carmel and the aquarium are an easy drive, as are Pinnacles and Laguna Seca, and the ranch is what you come back to at the end of the day.
The ranch is a working family property with a few homes on it, each let separately — so you won’t have the whole ranch to yourselves. You have the entire main house to your group, with the family and other guests about the land. There is also a very friendly cat.

Our team stayed here for the Sea Otter Classic — the perfect location and size for our group. The spacious kitchen and living room with a pool table was great for time together, and there were plenty of beds, including the bunks in the back house, for everyone.
Would highly recommend for anyone with a large group. Plenty of beds, hang out space, silverware, dishes — a team of 20, which is not always the case even when advertised as such. Also, such a serene and relaxing setting.
Our multigenerational family loved staying here! Plenty of room, well-equipped kitchen. The big kids loved the pool and hot tub; the little ones had lots of toys. Everyone enjoyed being out in the country, seeing the animals and going for walks. The hosts were lovely!
Had a family reunion at the house — it was amazing! The kitchen is fully stocked and the house is better than the pictures.
We had all of my kids, their spouses and grandkids under one roof here. There is such a positive vibe in this home/ranch. Everything was as promised — something for everyone to do, especially the kids. We will be back.
Absolutely wonderful setting for a family gathering. Plenty of room and activities right at the property. Our little ones really enjoyed the farm animals, and the swimming pool was a big hit for all ages.
Every quote is a real, verified guest review from this house’s VRBO listing (9.6/10 from 93 reviews) and Airbnb (5.0 from 3). Margaret’s 948-review Superhost record spans a decade across the ranch.
