Sweet Pepper Ranch glamping experience was a real treat! The host was welcoming and very hospitable. Their ranch was very impressive. The bed was comfortable. Just 20 minutes away from wine country! Couldn’t ask for more. This place should be featured in a magazine.
Great hosts and cozy accommodations. Love the soft animals noises through the night.
Alayne was a wonderful and helpful host. We were grateful to be able to explore the grounds and see the horses as well as use of the house bathroom and the pool!
This was by far the fanciest HipCamp we’ve stayed at while driving coast to coast. The glamping tent was beautiful and located adjacent to the riding ring. While our hosts were nearby, we had plenty of privacy. We also travel with two kids and a dog. The kids loved the horses and the swimming pool! My husband was able to use the WiFi to work as well. Alayne and Matt were the best hosts!! We enjoyed chatting with them and learning about their farm. We can’t wait to return to Sweet Pepper Ranch!
We absolutely loved our stay at Sweet Pepper Ranch! Alayne was a kind and generous host, welcoming us and so very accommodating of our many questions about ranch life. We fell in love with the beautiful horses, and loved the glamping tent and swimming pool. Both the tent and ranch are exceeded expectations on cleanliness.
Matt and his wife were great hosts!!! Such a great and unique experience. My two daughters loved every minute of it. Thank you!
Great hosts! Beautiful place, the smoke from wildfires affected our stay. We had to leave early do
To my asthma!
Alayne was a welcoming host, talking to me about her work with horses, offering a dip in their pool, and even bringing me garden vegetables. She let me feed a carrot to her sweet horse, Jasper, who was a very quiet neighbor. I heard owls and kestrels, and a far away rooster. It was a nice change from hotels and much more comfortable than tent camping.
