As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
With the profusion of unique rental accommodations available these days, there’s plenty out there that would suit your needs and desires. From lake homes to city penthouses, glamping yurts to airstream trailers, and everything in between, it’s out there. But this out-of-the-box place in Northern California is one of the coolest places to spend the night!
Hosted by VRBO.com (Vacation Rental By Owner), is a spectacular 150-acre ranch and alpaca just 45 minutes north of Calistoga.
The property consists of a 2,494-square-foot farmhouse and "Glamping Barn," which together offer the perfect place for a large family, group of friends, family reunion, or other special events. The farmhouse features a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and fireplace. The other two bedrooms are roomy and comfortable as well, both featuring comfortable queen-size beds and inviting décor.
Among the best features of the property are the amazing views of the surrounding rural wine country landscape.
You can take in these gorgeous vistas from several places in the home, including the dining room, which is highlighted by fabulous floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of light.
Not only is the kitchen equipped with everything you could possibly need for cooking breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between, but it’s close proximity to the dining area offers a wonderful gathering opportunity that fosters a deep connection between the guests.
With seating for 12 people at an al fresco dining table, the wrap-around deck is gorgeous. Here, you and your family or friends will find plenty of lounging space as well as a unique lake-fed hot tub. It’s the perfect place to kick back and relax.
Are you looking at them, or are they looking at you?
Who can resist a cute alpaca? There are four that roam the property at-will, grazing among the verdant meadows which overlook the eye-catching lake in the distance. The alpacas also share their home with a wide array of wildlife, including coyotes, wild turkeys, bobcats, and other creatures. There are hiking and mountain biking trails on the property as well.
For groups of seven or more people, you can also rent the Glamping Barn.
This former barn has been transformed into a beautiful rustic retreat with two queen bed suites. If you have teenagers or a couple or two who want to be connected to the overall group yet have their own space, the Glamping Barn is a great option. The overall rental property is also dog-friendly so feel free to bring the family pet!
Private, peaceful, gorgeous, and inviting (with alpacas too!), this 150-acre ranch is one of the coolest places to spend the night! Have you stayed at this awesome VRBO? If so, we’d love to see your photos and hear about your experience there.
