Weekend Trip to 7V RANCH

I really enjoyed the views here & the cattle & horses were nice to watch. Like someone mentioned there is a lotttt of cow poop. You’re in their space, it’s nature, didn’t bother me much but I can see how if you had young kids with you it might become a problem 🤷🏽‍♀️ beautiful area that felt very private. No cell service so plan accordingly. Exactly what I was looking for!

A queen sized bed with memory foam mattress makes this glamping at its best.

Weekend Trip to Enney's Ranch

Such a cute spot with an amazing view. The cowboy tub did not disappoint with hot water! Everything was stocked like listed and Kenneth was a great host. Such a perfect time of year for his spot and perfectly located near wineries to check out during the day. Would love to come back!

What an excellent, relaxing way to get away! Everything we needed was pretty much provided and the bedding was substantial and comfy. We had a thunderstorm hit and even that was a nice experience. A great way to experience mother nature firsthand! We never got wet or were uncomfortable in any way. A hot soak in the tub with my sweetie while stargazing was the trips fav! If you are particular about your cookware, I would bring a good pan and maybe a knife but other than that everything was peaceful. All the wineries around was a plus also!

We loved staying on Enney ranch. Kenney was a wonderful host and even brought us some freshly baked bread. The site was wonderfully out of the way, but close to everything Paso Robles has to offer. Will definitely be back.

Kenney and Sarah are amazing hosts! They made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The first night I was the only camper, but I still felt completely safe the whole time. The property is so beautiful ,peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature with open skies and fresh air. The tent itself was so cozy and had everything I needed!Their dogs are the sweetest and made the place feel even more welcoming. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a relaxing escape and some time to recharge. I left feeling refreshed and grateful, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a beautiful and peaceful getaway.

Weekend Trip to Enney's Ranch

Such a cool place and idea. It was absolutely worth every penny. It’s so quiet and peaceful, and the view was so expansive. Some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve seen. The stars were also unbelievable. The hospitality was fantastic. They provide you with everything. Running water for showers and a sink. An outdoor toilet. I would recommend bringing extra toilet paper, but that’s about it. Will absolutely be coming back.

We spent a relaxing rejuvenating night here. Kenneth met us and was so friendly and helpful, then left us to the peace and quiet of this lovely spot. Everything worked as explained, the tent and bed were cozy and comfortable. We wish we had more time to stay here! Highly recommend. It’s quiet and dark at night, we slept great.

We stopped at Enney Ranch on our way from SF to SD over Labor Day Weekend. It was a perfect stopping point on the road trip, and was so convenient not needing to pack ALL our camping stuff! Kenny gave use really clear driving directions, and a really clear description of the site + amenities on his ranch. He met us when we arrived for a mini "tour," and the rest of our stay was a dream! The stars overnight were EPIC. Would absolutely return ¨̮

Really cute venue. Nice to walk around and see how they dressed up the place. Had a mule we got to pet from the other side of the fence and some other ranch animals around. Everyone was very nice and the kitchen was great. Got to use the firepit as well and the stars were beautiful.

I loved the entire setup. Everything you need minus food and oil is there for you. The night sky is unbeatable. I went during 100+ weather so during the day I drove to the coast. Nothing beats cooking and laying under stars. It was a wonderful solo trip that I can't wait to do again.

When I originally booked this reservation, I was just looking for place to stay on a roadtrip and I thought the price was kind of steep for a yurt. After arriving and seeing the place and talking to Kenneth who was incredibly helpful and kind, I realized I got well my money's worth. He offered supplies we didn't have and took care of everything making it an incredibly easy stay. The property itself was beautiful and I don't think I could have asked for a better stay. I am definitely coming back.

This was such a great spot. The view from the Roadrunner Ridge site is quite something. The bed was decent, and we had plenty of blankets for the chilly night. Never used an outdoor shower before and it was fun. We were close enough to our campsite neighbors that it would be great for groups but not so close that we were overhearing each other’s conversations. Would happily stay here again.
