## Overview

Hosted by Katherine and Mary - Stars-aligned on a mountain in Pinyon-Pines, California, when we found a magical place to support a collective vision: Mary’s mission of rescuing slaughter-bound racehorses and Katherine’s search for seclusion, artistic inspiration, and a business-for-good. Merging our visions; Moonrise Ranch & Sanctuary (formerly Nightingale Ranch) was born, and was something we had to share: a place where guests are inspired & renewed, and thoroughbreds get a second-chance at life.

> I had an absolutely wonderful, relaxing time on Moonrise Ranch. Tons of communal spaces despite having virtually the entire property to myself. The hosts were incredibly attentive and welcoming!

> Absolutely loved staying here! We were traveling through and booked a last minute stay. The owners kindly accepted our request and we couldn’t be more thrilled that they did. The experience at the ranch is definitely one of a kind and has such great energy. There was a communal spot to hang out, read books, play the guitar, or just watch the animals across the way. So many different amenities like the communal outdoor kitchen, full working luxurious rustic style bathrooms, an outdoor and indoor shower, a cowboy pool, hammock hang and a bunch of stargazing beds throughout. I loved how they had…
