Pinnacles Ranch - Closest to the Park (2 miles to East Entrance)

This hillside single-story home overlooks the Pinnacles National Park and surrounding ranch land. It's close to the Bay Area but feels remote & worlds apart. Come experience rural and wild California in a comfortable home. I'm an experienced host on Airbnb but new to VRBO. You can see my listing and reviews here: www.pinnaclesranch.com

The house includes:
- Large kitchen
- Large dining table
- Open floor plan between kitchen, dining room and living area
- Bedroom #1 with 1 queen bed
- Bedroom #2 with 2 twin beds
- Living area with 2 couches that can be converted to futon beds
- Bathroom with combination shower and bathtub
- Outside, there is a large patio with propane BBQ, bar area and outdoor furniture
Guest access:
The house is set on a 200 acre ranch, and guests are welcome to take walks around the property. There are some amazing views of the Pinnacles as well as the Diablo Mountain range from various places on the property.
(NOTE: Access to the house requires a smartphone and registration with the AugustHome app.)
Inside the house, guests have access to the Kitchen, Dining Area, Family Room, 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom. Guests are locked out from private areas and do not have access to the garage, mudroom and owner's bedroom.
Other things to note:
The home is near the Pinnacles National Park (just 2 miles from the east side entrance) but very remote from other services, which is part of what makes the area so special. It's so close to the bay area and yet feels worlds apart. Pinnacles Ranch is a place to unplug and explore the wilderness of the national park or the rural lifestyle of surrounding ranches.

The nearest store, restaurant or gas station is about 30 miles away so guests should plan ahead and bring the things they will need during their stay (e.g., food, cooking supplies, toiletries, etc.). NOTE: Hollister to the north and King City to the south provide the nearest services. Be sure to stock up before your arrival.

Also, please note that there is no cell phone access in the area. However, the ranch house has a landline phone and a wi-fi network that guests can use. There is also no broadcast TV or cable TV service, but the house has a smart TV monitor that can be used to stream and a Blu-ray DVD player that can be used for movies if guests want to bring their own DVDs.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and a phone.

The ranch is beautiful and peaceful. We picked it because it was so close to the National Park entrance and that worked out so well for us to go hiking everyday. The house has everything you could need. David is very attentive and helpful. We would definitely come back again!

The VRBO host, David, was very thorough. His communication was impeccable. The description of the property was accurate and as expected. The property provided everything you expect the vacation home to have. (Towels, sheets, cookware, cups and plates, and cooking knives that are sharp) We really enjoyed the quietness of the property) I would love to go back bringing my friends.

Peaceful convenient house near pinnacles

The photos do not do the house justice. There is a large living room and kitchen more than adequate for six adults to hang out play games, cook, etc. Although it is a dated home, there are several updates throughout to make it very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to make meals together. It was conveniently located 2 miles from pinnacles so a great place to stay if you wanna do daily hikes.

Perfect place to stay for hiking in Pinnacles National Park

The property is just 2 miles from the Pinnacles entrance and remote enough to enjoy the stars and quiet of the countryside, but still modern enough to be a comfortable stay. Would definitely come back here again.

Perfect location for visiting Pinnacles National Park

We stayed at Pinnacles Ranch for 2 nights during our visit to the National Park. It was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, the common spaces were great and the bedrooms were large and had comfy beds. Loved the vibe of the house and would definitely recommend!

Great place to get away from it all

The property was very remote and a great place to relax. The living room and kitchen were large and great to use as a gathering space. The outdoor patio was also a great place to sit and listen to the birds and watch the hummingbirds. Beds were very comfortable. Overall this was a great getaway place!

Gorgeous Gateway to Pinnacles!

This place is fantastic! It has room for a lot of people, but it was perfect for just my husband and myself. It really is just a couple of miles from the park entrance. It had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. We would definitely refer this home to our friends.

Great Stay

The home is very clean and comfortable. Beautiful ranch and vistas and so convenient to the East entrance of Pinnacles. Unfortunately we weren’t able to enjoy the very nice patio space as the weather was quite cool and wet when we were there. We did enjoy some bird watching while there and the fabulous views of the Pinnacles

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It's a beautiful area and the ranch provided a space to bird watch, gaze at the stars, and sit on the porch as the sun was rising with coffee in hand. The ranch was very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Would book again.

Great place for Pinnacles.

We had a great time at the location. We took the family to visit Pinnacles and this was well located to visit the park. David had a lot of great tips, which were helpful for our stay. The place was clean and well stocked for a comfortable stay. The kids had a great time even after all the hikes, cave exploring, and shenanigans. They really appreciated the soft beds. Lol. Oh, at night turn off the porch lights and enjoy all the beautiful stars for a bit. David was good at communicating and we hope to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful first visit to Pinnacles.
