Lovely and private loft above barn on ranch.

This is a recently updated loft above the barn on a farm in the Northern California gold country. I am conveniently located between Auburn and Placerville CA. Down at the end of my street is one of the trailheads to Cronan Ranch park with miles of trails for horseback riding, biking and hiking, and river rafting.
There are several other parks I can recommend!

A great place to get away and be able to have privacy, if that's what you prefer. You are welcome to visit with all the animals on the ranch! I will leave treats for the goats downstairs on the shelf below the stairs….and carrots in the fridge for the horses, goats and cows!

The loft has a modern rustic decor with a wonderfully comfortable organic hybrid queen size bed and luxurious bamboo blend linens that are dried on outside line during nice weather, for wonderful fresh clean air smell! There is also a rollaway twin bed and a fold up floor mat for the littles if needed. There is a Pac N Play for infants as well as a baby gate.

The kitchen is adequately stocked with most things you could need. If there is anything you see missing, please let me know, so it can be added!

There is a shared (with owner) pool for the hotter months behind the main house with access through a side gate by the round pen We strive to give you privacy by the pool!

We also have a large summer garden and love to share the organic bounty and flowers with our guests! Please take a stroll through the garden and pick your fresh veggies for your dinner! For more outside time, there is a picnic table, some outdoor furniture under a pergola, and a small propane BBQ down by the barn for your use! We also have a fire pit and chairs by the barn. Please keep the screen on the fire pit if you choose to use it. There is a S’mores box in the loft for making them at the fire pit!

The ranch loft is private, quiet and the sounds of nature surround you. Guests are welcome to bring up to 2 horses. A small back deck looks out over paddock where guest horses are staying. Room to park one rig. No dogs please! My livestock guard dogs love guests but see other animals as predators.

The outside dogs are all friendly with guests. The Anatolians are Teddy, his sister Stella and her baby (now 2!) Hazel. You may also encounter the bassets, Willow and her daughter Winter!

NEWS FLASH! We have an adorable mini Zebu cow called Fiona and her little sister Frances has joined her! The goats and chickens will run to you for treats and we keep some treats on a shelf in the barn under the stairs. You are welcome to go in with the goats for scratches and rubs…but they get pretty excited about snacks, so I would do that from outside of the fence! In 2024 we have baby goats due at the end of March.

Also newly added in 2022 is a pair of miniature horses that can be groomed and/or taken out for walks if you like! Just let me know!

A Family Adventure to Remember!
I recently stayed at the loft with my husband and daughter (age 8), and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene ambiance of the farm and the warm hospitality of the hosts. Our daughter was thrilled to have the opportunity to help with farm chores and even had a riding lesson, which was a highlight of her trip. The loft itself was cozy and inviting and it was great being so close to the animals (including a 2 week old baby goat)! We enjoyed spending time with all the animals on the farm, from feeding treats to the goats and horses to meeting all of the farm dogs. We can't wait to return for another memorable getaway!

Amazing place
We had an amazing stay here! My sister and I brought horses to stay at the property with us. The remodeled barn was so cute great place to stay and everyone was so friendly. She even gave us a map to go and ride out on some trails. and gave us all of her advice on great places to ride. They had a super cute fire pit and even set up the fire for us one of the nights. I could not recommend this place more!!!!

Thanksgiving on the farm
Pam was a wonderful host but the five dogs were the best part of our stay. They recognized our car after the initial meeting and greeted us with big grins. The horses, minis, goats, and chickens were fun too. Nice room in the barn loft that had everything we needed. Only a few miles to Cool and wonderful trails too

Great place for a get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It was fun to watch the horses, ponies, goats, out the bedroom window and from the balcony off the kitchen. The family that owns the property is very friendly and not at all intrusive. Overall great location if you're looking for a place to stay and do some rafting.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time here! We went on a couple hikes which were really close by and we loved all the animals on the property! The Livestock Guard Dogs greeted us every morning which was so cute! Stella always wanted a belly rub! We often travel to California and would not hesitate to stay here again!

Beautiful piece of property with horses, goats, chickens and 4 dogs, who were all friendly and awesome, even with kids. The dogs are there to protect the other animals so they do bark a lot at night. If you’re a light sleeper looking for somewhere quiet, this may not be it. The loft was really pretty and the bed was very comfortable.

Cute studio near river access but won't return
Was in need of real rest but the ranch dogs kept me up all night with their barking (doing their job, but should be a caveat in description). Little extras in a space are nice but only if they work - dead batteries in the mantel lighting and the blue tooth speaker wasn't charged and had no charger in room. Wouldn't call the kitchen "well stocked" - bring oil, seasonings. Some pans and utensils were covered in grease.

Adorable barn loft
We had a great time on this scenic horse farm. The barn loft apartment was perfect and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. It was very clean and the fresh eggs were delicious. My two daughters loved the goats, horses and pool. It was perfectly located for horseback riding and whitewater rafting. Thanks so much for having us we had so much fun!!!

Wonderful property!
We had the most amazing experience this weekend. Loved the property, so Much character, loved the animals and just being so close to nature. Pam was super friendly and the small details were appreciated! Fresh eggs and a bottle of white wine chilled in the frig was a welcome surprise! It was clean, safe and quiet. Super relaxing! Close to great trails and wineries. River was easy to access -from a close by trail as well. We definitely will be back! Our 10 year old son can’t stop taking about the horses and goats! Just a wonderful time! Really peaceful and rejuvenating!
