Private studio with dedicated entrance. Spend the night nestled in the middle of a working cattle ranch in Valley Springs! By day, hike the rolling hills of the vast 750 acres ranch. Observe a wide variety of bird and wildlife, check out the abandoned gold mines on the property, and catch a glimpse of Mark Twain's famous jumping frog if you're lucky (the ranch is a designated habitat). Nearby, soak up the sun at multiple recreational lakes, hit the surrounding trails for a little more activity, or go shopping in some of the cute nearby towns. Come evening, unwind with a stunning view of the milky way in the open night sky.

Studio has a queen size bed, desk area, and seating nook. TV with Netflix and Wi-Fi included (though we think the night sky beats any movie). Modern bathroom with a large rain-shower. No kitchen but larger mini fridge to keep groceries cool and coffee bar to relax in the morning. You are also welcome to use the BBQ. Pack-and-play and child seat available.

Notes:
* This is second story studio with sloped ceiling. Watch your head in the corners.
* The ranch has two working dogs who are very friendly even when they bark at first at strangers.
