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!
