Guest access
The Log Cabin is set on a 2200 acre working ranch, and you are welcome to take walks and your own bikes around the property. You will have the entire home to yourself. You can come help us feed the ranch animals, go birdwatching, or do nothing and watch the sunset and stars from your wraparound porch!

If you’d like to schedule animal feeding, horseback riding, or arena riding/horsemanship lessons, with us these are available at an additional cost and a link will be provided for booking. (No activities available on Sundays or Mondays, except for holiday weekends.)

We keep our houses as allergen-free as possible, so no animals are allowed inside the houses. Our ranch is working hard to build regenerative agricultural practices, and our land is proudly pesticide-free.

For safety reasons, we do ask that guests do not enter horse pastures or enclosures with horses without barn manager supervision.

Other things to note
The Log Cabin is near Pinnacles National Park but relatively remote from other services, which is part of what makes the area so special. It is a place to unplug, share stories and spend time with your family and friends, and explore the wilderness of California.

My work: Horse & Cattle Ranch
Speaks English
We’ve built the Bar SZ Ranch brand with our kids, Kailey, Colton, and Maddi, over the last seven years while running a hospitality business together. Working as a family has given us perspective about living intentionally, and we hope to inspire others to treat strangers like family, put others first, and forge a lasting legacy.
