Wanna stay away from the city and all the noise? Come stay at our small ranch for a reprieve from the road. We live on a small 20-ranch with a few animals and nice views. We are just 15 minutes outside of Bakersfield proper. You may bring a dog as long as it is kept on a leash. We have dogs also and will need to coordinate doggie greetings. Dogs may not be off leash as they often will chase the livestock. Our ranch has a miniature donkey, horses, and some chickens. The ranch is set off a quiet country road with gentle rolling hills. The homesteaders in this area all have a minimum of 20 acres. On most days, there is a view of the mountains to the East. The sunrises are beautiful! If you love animals or being in the foothills, this is a great, peaceful spot. Beware, you may be awakened to the sounds of a rooster crowing, a cow mooing or a donkey braying in the morning. :) We sell fresh chicken eggs if you are interested in purchasing these during your stay Suggested Local Attractions: Bakersfield is a medium-sized friendly community. We live just North of town (about 10 miles). One local attraction is visiting the Buck Owens Crystal Palace. This is a country western dinner and a show place with lots of country music memorabilia. We are also known for our Basque food, which is very unique to the United States. Kern County has a large Basque community and we always encourage visitors to eat at one of our many Basque restaurants. There are lots of outdoor attractions in close proximity to Bakersfield (45 - 60 minutes) which we can suggest to you when you stay with us.
