Great for family get together
This should have been a perfect review but the owner double booked us.We paid extra for a 2 bd/1 bth cottage 4 months in advance for 3 nights.Some point after, another renter came in w/ a 31-day booking during our time and was accepted. The property is in a beautiful setting w/ gorgeous views.There's wonderful animals everywhere. ED WAS AWESOME! The main house is perfect for a large group.We orig had 26 (inc 3 children under 5) and 1 didnt show up-a elderly handicap with a service dog. (Service dogs are not allowed in the main house, so not having the cottage would have been a serious issue.) The kitchen and dining rm are large.The outdoor kitchen was nice and the patio is large.The bunk houses are not made for adults w/ the exception of 2 king beds.The bunks are for kids or very short/small adults.The owner did advise of this which was our reason for booking the cottage.I talked w/ the owner multiple times during the 4 months prior.She stated she forgot to write down our dates and did all she could to get the other renter to move; however, she did not tell us any of this until the day before our rental.We were stuck.She offered a small motorhome and studio w/ 2 twins. We used the motorhome but not the studio.The beds are more for kids or small adults.Most of us are over 6 ft.She said we didnt have to pay extra. Our family flew in from ALL over the states for this so overall, it was great just frustrating.l'd encourage others make sure the owner writes down your dates

Family Christmas gathering
We had a fun experience with our large group of family and friends! It is a great place that accommodates large groups of family/friends gathering together. The kids loved all the animals on the property.

Wonderful reunion at ranch
Our family of 18 people had a great time at Margaret’s ranch. We brought a lot of food and the kitchen are well equipped to meet all our cooking needs. Margaret and Rosa were very responsive to our requests and text. The location of ranch is very convenient for daytime hiking to pinnacle NP and point lobos state park. I highly recommended Margaret’s ranch.
