Hosted and Private Rentals -- you are the ONLY GUESTS with either option
We relocated to our vacation home in 2016 after almost 2 decades of developing the Dog & Pony Ranch from 60 raw acres. The good news for guests is we will continue to offer vacation rentals so people and pets can still enjoy our unique dog-friendly property. Dogs are welcome when our dogs are in residence and have separately fenced yards. We will coordinate with you so yours get max time on the 60 acres, even if dogs don't play well together.
- Hosted Guest House (owners in residence - see yellow dates in calendar) During months when we are onsite, we offer Hosted Rentals while ensuring as much privacy or interaction as you want with both people and pets. For Hosted Rentals, guests can choose between Standard Guest House or smaller Guest Quarters configuration. Feedback from guests has been very positive for our hosted farm-stay experience since when we're in residence, we're able to offer add-on services like:
- Barn animal feeding/petting/learning interactions (included standard along with photos), plus optional llama walks or horse grooming/riding lessons. More info on our Ranch Livestock page and in many reviews.
- Catered meal delivery to your private indoor or outdoor linen-covered table, or picnic delivery to pond or view spot on the ranch.
- Romantic surprises like flowers, champagne, chocolates, massages, rose petals on the bed, etc.
- Marriage proposal assistance (e.g. a hike with your significant other to a beautiful location where your dog delivers a ring, or surprise her with a horse-drawn wagon ride).
- Horse owners can bring their own horses to the ranch.
- Private Vacation Rental (owners' side unoccupied - see light green dates in calendar) For people wanting more privacy especially if have dogs that "don't play well with others" and you'd like to use the backyard unshared, select dates when we are traveling with our dogs and NOT onsite. When we are not onsite, please do NOT disturb our horses/llamas/cattle/chickens who will have daily pet sitter visits to the barn and pasture each afternoon.
- We usually travel ~6-8 week/year with our dogs. 2019 private rental dates include first 2 weeks of May, week of July 4th, and all 4 weeks in November.
