There is so much history, rustic charm and wonder to this place. After playing in the playroom, the tennis courts, swimming in the pool and tossing the bocce balls around, our grandkids (ages 1-5) fell into bed with exhaustion each night. We had some truly amazing family time at the Ranch. While it's quite an investment to stay there, we loved every minute. Susan was attentive and clear on all fronts. Great host.

We had a wonderful time at Susan's party house with the whole family. Pool, tennis and hiking were all great. We will certainly be back.

Our family gathering included juniors and seniors (ages 2-78). There was plenty to do on the property to keep busy without ever having to leave: amazing lap pool, spa, hike to pond, fishing at the pond, running trails, tennis and basketball court, bocce ball court, s’mores around the fire pit… The kitchen is ready for large groups with 2 dishwashers, double convection oven, and 2 fridges (one in casita). We had wonderful family dinners around the table that seated all 18 of us (plus a high chair!). The host, Susan, is wonderful. Her attention to detail is amazing: we had fresh cut flowers in the bedrooms, the table was set with fresh flowers, floating candles, water and wine glasses and cloth napkins awaiting our first meal. There is a beautiful history at this ranch. We made some wonderful memories! We will be back!

My family enjoyed our weekend adventure at this beautiful ranch nestled in the hills of Cayucos. There was so many things to see and do that we can’t wait to come back because we couldn’t get to all of them.Sally was the perfect host.

The Cottontail Creek Ranch was everything the property claimed to be and more. Couldn't reccomend the place more... The ranch staff, manager and owner couldn't be any kinder, hospitable or friendly... we even received homemade cookies! The vistas start your day with such beauty and awe as you sit and enjoy your coffee from anyone of the numerous spots on the property you can enjoy. Enjoy your family, friends or work or church retreat getaway!!!

Gorgeous setting. Authentic ranch. Every amenity. Hands on owner. Wonderful kitchen and rooms for gathering yet privacy when you want it. One of our best rental experiences.

We enjoyed the property for our stay at Thanksgiving. There were 18 of us from 7-96 years of age. We had a wonderful time. The Party House was perfect as there were bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone.

Great property, with awesome communication and staff. Had all 15 members of our extended family for a wedding off property. Ages ranged from 75 to 2 yrs old. Place was gorgeous and amenities immaculate. Tons of activities for kids and adults. Would highly recommend. Sincerely, Chris Eureka, Ca.

The property is gorgeous and the house is spacious and has everything you need. We had plenty of space and enjoyed sitting together for dinners inside and outside, playing in the pool and spa and hot tub and the kids loved the game room and just walking around and picking fruit. The views are stunning and Susan makes an effort to make sure you're comfortable and having fun, whether you stay at the ranch (like we mostly did) or decide to go out to Morro Bay or Cambria, and so on.

Fantastic trip! 4 days of hunting and wine tasting was not enough to fully explore the ranch. Next time we will add a full day to enjoy this special place and it’s surrounding acreage. Susan was amazing and helped with any of our needs. Including a Bluetooth speaker.

Cannot say enough about how great this property is......can easily handle large groups....we never left the property once we got there....amazing spaces in the house to relax, talk, play games....and then there is an amazing pool, tennis courts, animals galore, hikes to the fishing pond, game room and on and on. This is a very unique property that you will not find anywhere else.

Our family of 13 had the most wonderful vacation at Cottontail Creek! The children Had so much to do from tennis to the pool to bocci ball ! We all enjoyed the lovely property and nights around the fire pit with s’mores, games hand stories!! Many wonderful memories made…can’t say enough! Susan is a wonderful host…so accommodating and full of info on surrounding areas! She is a jewel….we enjoyed our stay so much from the first days avocados and oranges to the fun truck rides on the property which the kids are still talking about…can’t thank you enough, Susan, for everything! We are hoping to be back ,

This is a large, rambling rustic house on an 850-acre ranch in central CA where our family of 16 enjoyed a lifestyle and part of CA not often available to outsiders. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, views galore with plenty of space and activities; everyone found something they enjoyed. The hikes are challenging but doable; the orchards are beautiful, the pool is HUGE, the tennis courts, basketball, volley ball, horseshoes, bocce ball and corn hole kept everyone entertained. The pond is a hefty hike but the kids enjoyed fishing, boating and splashing. Susan was easy to communicate with, providing information, resources and ideas that made this a very special week for our family. The kids were sad to leave. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for open space, privacy and time to relax and enjoy. We hardly left it to doing anything in the area because this was so special. Hope we can go back!

Great place. Clean and well kept. Enjoyed the pool, tennis court and property in general. Very relaxing and secluded.

This luxury, sparkling clean, LARGE resort home was PERFECT for our immediate family (of 15) reunion to celebrate Grammie & Pa's 50th Anniversary. None felt crowded or cramped at any time. The owner attentively answered each of our pre-arrival concerns and questions. Our ages ranged from 9 yrs to 74. EACH of us enjoyed the property to the fullest: swimming, tennis, fishing, hiking, our own Bocce Tournament over the 5 days, gourmet cooking & peace-filled, comfortable sleeps. The pool with jacuzzi is sparkling and so well designed for all ages and abilities. You do have to arrive with your planned meals & main ingredients because it is a rough-road (but short) distance from town, eateries & groceries. The kitchen is well stocked with small and large appliances, mixing, cooking, baking (all seasonings & basics) & serve ware for a very large group! Wi-Fi & cable was excellent, be prepared for NO cell reception. The hills made bicycling too dangerous for the children, will leave bikes home next time because there was PLENTY to enjoy without bikes! Our beyond awesome memories of this resort will be treasured FOREVER !!!

A group of us, 16 friends, spent 3 nights at The Ranch and had a great time. The host, Susan, is fantastic. Over the years we have stayed at many homes, hotels and B&B's and this one surpassed all of them when it came to hospitality. We walked in the house and were greeted with the dining table completely set including fresh flowers and floating candles! The BBQ was set up with wood and kindling, all we had to do was light it. The firepit was "guest ready" too. So much prep was done before we walked in the door. We never left the property for 3 days. There was no reason to! We kept ourselves very busy hiking, fishing the pond, swimming in the great pool, relaxing in the jacuzzi, playing pickle ball and bocce ball. We didn't get a chance to play tennis, basketball or horseshoes but those are available as well. We were lucky to have dined on fresh meat from the ranch as well as eggs from Jose's chickens. Such a treat. We brought in all our food and beverages and glad we did. It is a little ways from a store. However, our host, Susan, called us on Saturday and asked if we needed anything because she was headed to town. That was so thoughtful!! All in all a wonderful visit. Thank you Susan and Jose for a memorable trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch! We had a large family gathering with family from Southern and Northern California, and the ranch suited our group perfectly! Susan was an incredible host, and we will definitely be returning next spring!

Make sure you bring everything you need because the stores are not close but the house is fully stocked with dishes . ❤️

What a wonderful location for our family reunion. Our hostess was fabulous, the property spectacular. Although close to wine country or ocean activities, everyone chose to stay on the ranch and enjoy the many amenities. I can highly recommend a stay at Cottontail Creek Ranch.
