The large cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend buying the carrots and firewood bundle. My kids LOVED feeding the animals and making s'mores!

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch
It’s a beautiful ranch with such a great atmosphere. Our hosts were very accommodating and the animals were absolutely amazing. The eggs were delivered by their son I think and it was such a wholesome experience. I already miss the view and the air there I would definitely come back(:

3 nights at Lone Juniper Ranch
We had a great trip to the Dromedary House. Spent three peaceful days enjoying the exotic animals and scenic views. I loved the fire pit and BBQ area. It was perfect. The hosts were very responsive but not intrusive. We would definitely go again.

This a "hotel" with a pulse. My wife and I (and our Rottweiler, Rami) loved seeing the horses, camels, donkeys peacocks, alpacas etc. It was super low key and the views are wonderful with views from every angle....although next to I-5 you don't hear road noise you are basically on the top of a mountain.. It was a great twist from city life....the room we had was awesome and perfect for a couple although it has bunk beds and can sleep 3 although I think this house can sleep more. If my travels take me through so cal I will definitely stay again, but likely stay longer to do a hike, bike and get more immersed with geographical feel. I have stayed at hundreds of hotels all around the world and would place this location in the top 10 ranked on convenience, geographical presence, uniqueness and appeal.

Our family had the best time at Lone Juniper Ranch. The cabin was well-equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit and playground area. The kids loved seeing all the animals up close. The limited interaction we had with Marlin and his family was pleasant and prompt. I only wish the cabin doors had screens to keep the doors open and the bugs out. Minor inconvenience! We will absolutely stay here again!

Very cute cabin. My girls loved the triple bunk beds. The heating and cooling AC worked perfect. They had condiments, dressings and cooking oil, all the basics.
The best past was of course the animals, we all had fun feeding them.
The owners were very responsive, even late at night.

This place is a great outdoorsy experience for LA folks to have and spend some time visiting livestock, within an hour from the city. We stayed in a small cabin, which was well equipped with a bed, kitchen with a microwave and fridge, a bath, with shower, and nice extra amenities like a hammock, a well equipped barbecue on a fire pit. The animals were definitely the highlight, and we purchased a bucket of carrots from the owner so that we could feed the donkeys, alpacas, and camels. We also paid extra to use the sauna, which was surprisingly hot and was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

It was adorable! Clean and the beds were comfortable. Decor was cute, great kitchen space. Camels running amuck entertained us thoroughly!! A little hidden gem for sure, would highly recommend.

This was an awesome experience. The Cabin was wonderful and the environment was a great escape from everything. Almost everything you need is provided to be comfortable at night. This is something I will love to visit again in the future.

Great spot. Fantastic views and wild flowers. Entertaining to see the workings around the farm, feeding the animals and watching them get rounded up, especially when a camel escaped! Location was a good base camp for visiting the area State Parks. The cabin had everything we needed. It all actually looked better in person than the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised.

Beautiful spot with a just-the-right-size cabin for two. Lots of space outside to sit and take in the beautiful surroundings. The alpacas and donkeys right in front of the cabin add something really special to the experience.

We loved staying at the Muley Buck cabin. The kids had a lot of fun the animals. The place was clean, had everything we needed to cook. I would recommend buying the extras once you’re there in case they run out of eggs or carrots.

Bobcat cabin was super cozy. Even though it was 45 F outside I bet the cabin never got below 60ish. There is an efficient heater, but I prefer a cold bedroom. The animals were super chill. Follow the instructions as texted and do NOT try to use Google Maps after you get to Gorman.
