Beautiful house and setting

Beautiful House full or character. We had a very relaxing time with wonderful views and hot tub over looking the hills and ocean. Our three girls loved feeding and petting the horses and the cat.

If you want to experience the definition of quiet…

Just me and a friend went to get away. This house is down a very remote road four miles from an entry gate. Only two other houses in the area but you cannot even see them from the deck. Everything everyone says in reviews is right on, the only thing that confused us was the hiking trail. There’s a sign a bit down the road that says hiking trail and when you start on it, you get about 40 feet and someone has put wire across it with a sign that says no trespassing no hiking, so that was confusing. I don’t know why the hiking trail sign is still there then. We did want to try to hike down to the pond that you can see from the deck, but all access looked a little too steep for us. We did spend time on the deck which was thoroughly enjoyable, and the silence is deafening. In this plugged in age, it was such a relief to not hear a thing. Feeding the horses every morning was great and they are down to one cat and he’s super friendly. The house does have everything except Kleenex, so bring your own Kleenex. I wish the doors had screens on them because the air quality is so wonderful. I wanted all the doors open, but there are no screens and bugs would get in and the cat would get in. A note to vegetarian‘s, this house is decorated as a ranch, so there’s things that might upset you like an animal hide on the master bathroom floor, horns on the wall, etc. also, the closet in the master is not available for use. You must use the closet in the hallway. And no house keys, country living!

Dragonfly Ranch was magical!! Part ranch, part nature reserve, and part museum with all the amazing antiques! We were blown away by the warm decor, breathtaking views, and total seclusion without a house or car in sight. This place is special, truly in a league of its own. We can’t wait to come back!

Unforgettable stay

Gazing at the beauty of the surroundings was the highlight. The views from the ranch were outstanding and it was fun feeding the two horses. The property owner was available with a simple phone call and very cordial. Her house was well stocked and clean. She made us feel like family!

Third trip

This was our third stay at the ranch. We had an amazing stay and saw so many hawks, and a golden eagle flew right in front of our car with a poor rabbit in his talons!! Saw many deer and a couple coyotes. Always love the kitty and the horses at the ranch! We just love the beauty and environment and we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Getaway

We couldn't ask for a more perfect getaway than this gem nestled amongst the hills. The home is beautiful and fully stocked with awesome amenities (organic shampoo, conditioner, body wash, kitchen supplies). Kids had an awesome time playing on the deck, going on hikes, and feeding the horses. Parents were nice and relaxed on the huge deck overlooking the incredible view. We did not want to leave. 5 stars!

Dragonfly is one of a kind!

What a great weekend we had at this beautiful and unique property. We wanted to get away and smell some fresh coastal air but still wanted to avoid crowds. Dragonfly had it all! The kids loved running all around the hills and feeding the horses. We enjoyed lounging on the expansive deck and enjoying the view. The beds were so comfortable and the house was just perfect. Everything we needed! We were close enough to head to the beach one afternoon but felt like we had our own private retreat.

Dragonfly Ranch - Memorable Experience!

We have stayed at multiple properties in the Santa Ynez and Paso Robles area, and the Dragonfly Ranch has definitely been the most memorable in many special ways. The property is very well furnished, comfortable and sits at a high peak with incredible views - green rolling hills, tree lined creek, and even ocean. It's far away enough to disconnect from the city, but a short drive to the many wineries and local towns. We truly enjoyed feeding the horses and the friendly cats and listening to the wildlife all around us. Kristine is a great hostess and was very communicative and a pleasure to speak with. We highly recommend the property for an unforgettable experience!

A soul rejuvenator

The property is nicely perched on a hill in a vast ranch surronded by rolling hills and a grand view of the ocean to beat. The property has two lovely horses in the attached barn and we had a blast feeding and petting them. The place boasts of a massive deck and simply lounging out was a peaceful expereince. The ranch house itself is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The host was kind and very willing to be of assistance. Overall loved the solitude and this property sure has some healing qualities.

Looking for serenity? This is your place!!

We couldn't have had a more perfectly wonderful get-away ... It was just what we were looking for (and then some :)! The property and the area are just breathtaking; especially after the excessive rainfall this past season brought. Looking out from the deck at the rolling green hills, and listening to nothing but the sounds of nature, it was easy to feel that we were the only living souls on the planet; the serenity was bliss. We did a little hiking around the ranch, had fun feeding the horses and the resident cat, cooked a couple of great meals, enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets and stargazing in our sleeping bags on the deck lounge chairs (my favorite:). The host, Kristine, was fantastic! Good communication made check in a breeze, and was available and responded promptly when I messaged with a question....very pleasant and friendly person. The house was welcoming with sparkling windows, beds comfortable with quality linens, the decor was fun and interesting, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Thanks for sharing your wonderful place! It was perfect.

Can't wait to go back!

I cant say enough about this special slice of paradise. It felt like home. The view was spectacular. The hot tub worked out great although it takes a long time for it to heat up....like 12 hours. The kitchen worked out great with 4 of us working in it. The horses were my "job" for the weekend. They got lots of treats. The kitty was the life of the party. He fit right in. It's a good 20 minute drive up the hill from Atascadero and not a neighbor in sight. Just make sure you have your provision because your not running back to the store. The stars ....I haven't seen a sky that beautiful in years. Walk outside and look up about 3 in the morning...jaw dropping. The property needs some tlc... but I overlook all of it because it's perfect the way it is.

Truly amazing spot

Vast views, private, quiet, spectacular sky and all you could ask for in Old California land grant experience, on a hill, surrounded by fields and trees with a distant view of the fog above the sea, with every modern touch; and a couple obliging horses for the kids with you - or in you - to feed.

Magical ranch for stargazing

We loved this ranch! Super private, nobody around. Two very friendly horses. Very comfortable bedrooms. Excellent kitchen. Best of all, a huge deck overlooks the rolling hills and the ocean in the distance. At night the stars come out and we can see the milky way clearly too. We will definitely return!

Nice place to stay with families and friends

We really enjoyed the stay during spring break time with families and friends. This place is very special and the host is supper helpful. Our kids love to play with horses and cats, they are so friendly and easy to get along. Wild turkeys love our car's color (red) and like to visit every morning. Kids are very excited to see deer, turkey vultures in the 320 acre field and play with salamander and tadpole in the pond.

A Very Special Spot

We've enjoyed Central California a lot these past few years (coming up from Los Angeles) and Dragonfly Ranch looked so interesting on the website. We were drawn by the description of it and the very positive reviews that emphasized things that were important to us too. Imagine our delight when we arrived and saw that it was so much more than described. Words can’t completely convey an experience like it. It started raining just after we settled in the first night (a lovely sound). We awoke the next day to a rainbow in the sky and a visit from the local wild turkeys wanting to check us out. As far as you can see there is just nature, trees, grass, hills, horses grazing, birds in the air, the ocean in the distance and the most wonderful two cats who always knew when to come over and visit us. The sounds are so peaceful and rejuvenating. The house is a delight. It's very spacious and Kristine has anticipated what might be needed: such comfortable beds, towels, toiletries. The kitchen was well stocked and had every utensil or appliance we wanted to use. We'd brought our food up for the whole week and it was a pleasure to cook and then eat outside to catch the light and changes through the day. The huge deck was wonderful for reading and sky or star gazing and there were great hiking trails (to work up an appetite). There are lots things to do in the nearby area but we never ventured out, deciding that this special spot was all we needed. And, now, we are making a plan for our return this fall!! Thanks so much Kristine for all of your attention to detail and quick responses when we reached out.
