We loved to barn loft decorated perfectly in country style. Pam was helpful and easy to communicate with. Beautifully quiet setting with trails and river access nearby.
such a cozy little stay loved the dogs and farm animals as if they were my own. awesome river to float down nearby too and the views were incredible. 10/10 would recommend it!
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!
My husband and I had a weekend away from the kids and decided to stay here. It was great and just what we needed. The owner was very friendly and it was nice being able to walk out of your place and see horses, goats, and other animals.
Everything was great, host was accommodating and kind enough to allow my 9 year old daughter to come on trip with me. It was peaceful and she loved visiting with the animals. The place was five star but my only issue was with the ad accuracy that said horse lesson or trail ride possibly available, which due to insurance coverage the host no longer can not loan out horses, which is totally understandable but disappointing at the same time.
A quaint and delightful, country setting with a lot of privacy. The barn loft was beautifully decorated, and the natural scenery of the property and surrounding area was very picturesque. All the animals on the property are friendly and cute to interact with. This is the place to go for a rejuvenation of the soul.
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
Super easy communication with owner. Lovely suite with all the amenities you need. Beautiful surroundings. LOTS of horses, goats, chickens, wild birds, cats and two big but friendly dogs. Super fun. Very California! Lovely host. Definitely recommend.
We had a family reunion in Cool. This lovely property was a real blessing to us. Needed accommodations in an area that's scarce on accommodations and when we found this tiny apartment over a working Barn it made our adventure even more memorable! Very clean and comfortable space with nice privacy. Waking up in the morning to the smell of fresh coffee and Horses was an enjoyable experience!! Thank you Pam for making your great place available!!Tons of character.
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!
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!!!!
My son and I had a great time staying at this cozy lil ranch. We had a great time talking to all the animals and the views were fabulous. Pam was the perfect host, so accommodating and friendly. Thank you Pam for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be returning for another life on the farm adventure.
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.
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 youâre a light sleeper looking for somewhere quiet, this may not be it.
The loft was really pretty and the bed was very comfortable.
We loved the studio over the barn and the views. We were there for a wedding at a winery.. The animals were awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone, who love the piece and quiet and animals ..
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.
My daughter is horse obsessed so this was a wonderful treat for her. The studio above the barn was absolutely perfect and really well done. The host was incredible and attentive. She gave some great recommendations on river spots and where to do a trail ride.
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!!!
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 canât stop taking about the horses and goats! Just a wonderful time! Really peaceful and rejuvenating!
The barn is full of country charm and absolutely beautiful. Pamela was very accommodating and atmosphere was warm and neighborly. The barn is just like the picture. A barn. Upstairs is the cottage and is picture perfect. Thank you Pamela!! We enjoyed the wine, fresh eggs and the sweet doggies!
I am a retired Certified Nurse Midwife that after 30 years working in Napa, I was able to move up here to the foothills in December 2015. I completed the conversion of the barn loft into a studio apartment. My time is spent enjoying my ranch, the animals, swimming, gardening and riding. I love to meet new people but can also give guests their privacy if thatâs what they prefer! I love ranch life and all the animals and hope guests will too!
The ranch is quiet and the barn loft is very private, with the sounds of nature. You may see Canadian Geese landing in the pasture to rest, as well as turkeys and sometimes the sound of cows at the fence. In addition to horses, we also have goats and chickens, 2 mini cows, along with 3 big and very friendly livestock guard dogs, Teddy and Stella and Stellaâs daughter Hazel. They keep away the coyotes and other predators while they work at nite and pretty much sleep all day! During summer you may hear the Cal Fire radio which is down the street from me, but they donât make any noise at night. It makes me feel very safe having them so close by and am hoping will give you the same sense of security!
June 2025 - we have 4 goat babies to play with. You are welcome to hold them and pet them! The area has much to do for outdoor enthusiasts so bring your bikes or boat or horses! There are miles of hiking trails with river access, as well as river rafting not far from me. Iâm about half way between Auburn and Placerville with many nice restaurants and antique shops. Iâm also close to Coloma where you can see what it was like in the gold rush days. Very close by we have a few restaurants in Cool, as well as a nice grocery store and a few close by coffee places.
