A beautiful campsite during a heat wave, with a shady location under the oak trees and lots of birds (and lizards!) to keep us company. Horses were a lot of fun to watch. A wonderfully peaceful weekend.

Great getaway just 1 hour from SF and 15 mins to Livermore. The bungalow is cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including an outdoor cooking set up and outdoor shower. Albe was able to help me check in and told me a bit about the ranch. We loved the clear skies at night and abundance of animals! Also great to wander around the working ranch.

Magical ranch stay. Sleeping under the stars, among the animals, looking out on sweeping hills, in a super comfortable setup - what more could you want. My wife loved waking up to the horse, and my (20 m/o) daughter to the chickens. We chased bunnies in the day and listened to the owls at night. Albe was really accommodating, helpful, and easy going. And the local area has great scenery, hikes and peacefulness to go around.

My partner and I had a lovely stay at Whiskey Ranch. The bungalow was so cozy and welcoming, and despite being a small footprint, felt really spacious. We've been thinking about getting a tiny house and starting a small farm, so it was a nice "preview" into tiny house living. It was a cold weekend, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside, but I did get to check out the pickup truck chicken coop (so cute!) and met some of the horses boarding on the ranch. I didn't get to meet Albe but he was very responsive and welcoming over text. It was the perfect weekend getaway. We're looking forward to returning when the weather is warmer!

We had a fantastic time at the Bungalow! We explored the ranch and had a great time roaming around and checking out all the horses. The Bungalow is only 20 minutes away from downtown Livermore. Make sure to schedule some wine tastings and check out downtown.
The Bungalow had propane gas and gas station for your cooking needs. There's an AC unit, heater, water heater, and mini-fridge inside. The bed was super comfy and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. Wifi is also available if you had to check e-mails and make plans. The outdoors shower is pretty neat, it does run out of hot water so do not linger too long.
Overall, we would highly recommend and come back again. It's a cozy spot to disconnect and getaway.

Whiskey Ranch was a magical place this weekend! It was supposed to rain the entire time we were there but it ended up not raining at all. Albrecht had our tent full set up when we got there and even gave us extra blankets. He was super communicative and fast at responding. The rolling hills were super beautiful to wake up to every morning and I’d 1000% come back again.

The host was welcoming and available if we needed anything but allowed us our privacy to enjoy our time at the ranch. We even got a fantastic recommendation for hiking from him that really was a highlight of the trip! We felt comfortable exploring the gems of the ranch itself. The accommodation of the tent was cozy and peaceful. We loved our time there and would encourage anyone looking for a spot to feel remote and removed without having to drive hours into the woods. Thank you!

We had a great stay, lounging in the cozy garden bungalow, cooking on the camp stove, and exploring the farm and a nearby hike. Albe was a friendly and accessible host. We also met their cute cat who was a real sweetheart. Would recommend and stay again!

The Garden Bungalow was perfect for weekend of what felt like a true camping experience... with the added luxury of wifi, heat, a shower, and an extremely comfortable bed.
The area surrounding that ranch is breathtakingly beautiful. Rolling hills abound! It felt like we were inside of the Windows screensaver (you know the one with the green hillside and bright blue sky.) After our cycle in from SF, we were too exhausted to do a big hike. But even just strolling down the road we were met with spectacular views.
The bungalow comes equipped with a heater, a hot water kettle, a pan, some cutlery and a propane stove. Bring your own cups/bowls and you should be all set!
I would definitely visit the Whiskey Ranch again.

The stay was amazing! If your looking for a little getaway as a couple, this is a perfect place! You basically get the ranch to yourself and the bungalow fits all your essential needs! Can’t wait to go back someday.

The Garden Bungalow is the perfect weekend escape. The host is wonderfully kind and accommodating, the property is beautiful and fun to explore, and the little bungalow is charming and cozy. One of our favorite parts - the outdoor shower!!

Reinstein Ranch was a really nice getaway! We spent the weekend with some friends here and it was a great little spot tucked away in Livermore. There are a lot of horses and rabbits around the ranch, and the view is really incredible at golden hour. The tents were really clean and the beds were very comfortable. One thing to note is that all the tents only have twin beds, so if you’re coming as a couple, you’ll have to push them together. The mattresses are really light so they’re easy to move around. It was a scorcher of a weekend, but the tents never felt too hot and they were pretty well insulated at night. The outdoor shower was a nice touch! The water was mostly cold though, so I would avoid showering in the evening. There was one porta potty on site which was very well maintained (coming from a girl that does not typically spend time outdoors and likes her modern amenities). It worked well for our group of 6, but there were a few occasions where some of us had to go at the same time. Just something to be aware of. Albe (the owner) came to meet us when we arrived, and provided us with portable battery packs which lasted us Friday-Sunday. It only has two USB ports and one of them we had to use to plug in our lights, so if you’re concerned about getting enough juice for your devices, I’d bring an extra battery pack just in case. Our group stayed in tents 1, 2, and 3 and only 2 and 3 were equipped with string lights on the outside and copper lights on the inside. It was super bright inside our tent (3) and we really enjoyed the ambiance. The WiFi was pretty spotty the further you got from the ranch house itself. Albe mentioned he put a booster behind the barn to help with the signal, but it didn’t really seem to work during our stay. It was totally fine for us though, since it gave us a chance to just enjoy the place and not be glued to our phones. Overall, we really enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend a weekend stay here!

We brought our two toddlers who LOVED it, despite record high temperatures. We want to go back again, but we will definitely pick a non-summer time, because the heat was just miserable. The host was fantastic though, and I highly recommend!

Alby was very nice and helpful. The outdoor shower was great and the amenities were more than we expected! The ranch is so beautiful and well-kept. The sky is unbelievable at night, we had to download a stargazing app. Will definitely stay again!

Great place to escape from the busy city. Clean campsite, comfortable tents/mattresses, and amazing sunsets. What more can you ask for?

The yurt was very clean (including crisp white sheets/bedding) and the small couch inside was an added. I was also glad he moved us to one of the yurts near a tree as the heat would have been unbearable without. Two notes: Do not keep pantry food outside (even if in a closed Tupperware), as we woke up with an outbreak of pincher bugs inside our food crate the first morning. Also, while the outdoor shower was awesome, “bathroom amenities” merely means “a porta-potty,” so be prepared for that. Overall, our boys had a great time on the working farm and loved getting to visit the chickens by the hour.

Albe is a wonderful host - the ranch is a special place with a lovely area surrounded by trees and some shade with a number of tables/chairs to lounge around and picnic. The mattresses were comfortable and the teepees very clean.

It was such a nice stay on a scenic peaceful ranch with horses, cows and chickens! My son (3 yo) had a blast playing with all the antique tractors that were on site. The host was so considerate and upgraded our stay because I was worried that staying in the tent would be too hot for our infant. I would say this ranch is definitely family friendly, but do check the weather because it gets quite warm in Livermore and may be uncomfortable for little ones. Overall we had a great time and would definitely come back!

Fantastic glamping experience with comfortable beds and bedding inside large teepee-style tents. Albrecht was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and responded almost instantly to any questions we had throughout the trip.
Couple of notes on the amenities:
- There is an outdoor shower with hot water
- No flush toilets, but port-a potties are well maintained (a sign inside indicated it's serviced weekly), stocked with supplies including soap and water to wash your hands
- Cell service at the site is pretty strong
- There is a hose with potable well water, but may be worth bringing in your own water if you're very cautious
- Battery pack will be supplied for charging, think there are 1-2 outlets around the ranch as well
- Tents are within eyesight of each other, but there is a fair amount of distance for some privacy, especially for tent 1 where we stayed which was a bit removed from the others. Every tent has its own bench / table set up
Location-wise, the ranch is close to Danville / Mt Diablo for hiking, as well as as Morgan Territory Preserve!
Overall, would definitely recommend and would stay again in the future

Had a great time staying at the ranch! Thanks Albe for the gracious hosting, making us feel at home. The ranch is a vast open area, with many horses to admire and lots of landscape to soak in. The tents are well spaced apart, so you can choose to keep to yourself or mingle with the others. The outdoor shower was very soothing.

This place was perfect for a one night getaway. The host, Albrecht, was very friendly and responsive. Place was very cute and cozy and very warm with the space heater. The ranch was very peaceful and they even have a camper propane stove you could use. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re local! Such a cool place in the country!

We loved our stay here and Albrecht was a fantastic host and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately, our schedule was thrown off a couple of times, affecting our arrival time, but Albrecht was accommodating and helpful. The farm was fun to explore and it was a wonderful break from the city. Thank you, Albrecht!

Beautiful countryside secluded and tucked away from reality. Albe’s property is the perfect place to unwind, relax, and be still. Would love to come back!
