Perfect for Large Groups

Our team stayed here for the Sea Otter Classic, and it was the perfect location and size for our group! The spacious kitchen and living room with a pool table was great for spending time with the team, and there were plenty of beds (including the bunks in the back house) for everyone.

We had a good time, perfect to stay with kids

Will come back

The place was great overall. The bunkhouse beds were kid sized for the most part but we have smaller people that fit, it all worked out fine.

Beautiful, peaceful property!!

We had a small family reunion here for 2 nights. The main house is nice and spacious, very clean and functional. The bunkhouse is located upstairs and some of the beds are in the loft, up a ladder. Beds were very comfy. Pool is nice, unfortunately it was too cold for us to enjoy. Lots of games and just a beautiful, peaceful property to enjoy family time.

Wonderful Ranch Stay

Wow wow wow!!! We had a group of friends from around the US stay at the Barlocker Ranch. Many friends were from major cities and were blown away by the location and beauty of the ranch. All of the amenities were amazing and will definitely be coming back!

Family/friends weekend +wedding

It is still a functioning family ranch, so do be aware that animals, dust, equiptment, etc are a factor, but we loved it <3

Beautiful Ranch, Gorgeous Views Everywhere!

Margaret was a wonderful host! Barlocker’s Ranch is warm, clean, spacious and super comfy. We loved the ranch animals, Felipe the mini donkey was a character, Russel the ranch cat was super friendly and 14 - 8 week old puppies were a huge hit with the little ones. Samantha, Ed and Cheryl were super helpful. We had the main house, bunkhouse and the cottage, plenty of space for everyone. I highly recommend Barlockers Ranch. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

Great Property!

Our family had a great time at this property. Luckily, the weather was good enough for us to use the pool every day. The property manager was great about responding to questions/concerns.

Yearbook Camp

I brought a group of 16 teenage boys and 3 adult teachers to the property for a 4 day yearbook camp to plan for the upcoming school year. The property was perfect for us - plenty of rooms, beds, indoor and outdoor meeting spaces. One slight issue was wi-fi but with 19 people trying to access internet to work, that is to be expected. Thanks for having us - would definitely consider returning next year.

Great Family Getaway

The property was beautiful and my family and I had a great time using the outdoor kitchen and the pool. The house was well-stocked with plenty of towels and the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc for a large family BBQ. We really enjoyed our holiday here!

Fun rental for large gatherings

We had a wonderful family reunion at this home. The place is large, with a main home and a bunk house that the kids loved. We also enjoyed the huge kitchen and deck (with a built in BBQ) as well as the heated pool!

Great family getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at Barlocker Ranch. It was the perfect spot for our family gathering to celebrate our son's first birthday. There was plenty of space and privacy for each smaller family unit. We loved walking on the property and seeing all the animals. We all enjoyed the pool and outdoor space.

The best 🤗

We had a wonderful family vacation wish it had been warmer to spend more time in the pool but overall just being together is always the best. Margaret was a wonderful host and would love to return to the Ranch house 🏡

A lovely place

The house, kitchen and supplies were great. There was someone to call when we needed information or assistance. It was great to be able to talk with the owner before signing on. The first day was challenging for my husband because the electricity was off for several hours. There were plenty of beds, but there placement was awkward for the long-legged teenage boys.

Wonderful reunion at ranch

Our family of 18 people had a great time at Margaret’s ranch. We brought a lot of food and the kitchen are well equipped to meet all our cooking needs. Margaret and Rosa were very responsive to our requests and text. The location of ranch is very convenient for daytime hiking to pinnacle NP and point lobos state park. I highly recommended Margaret’s ranch.

Family Holiday Gathering

It was large, comfortable, and convenient location. We planned this location in October 2022, not knowing of the weather issues that plagued the Northern California. Miraculously, the skies cleared and we spent a marvelous 4 days at the Barlocker Ranch!

Memories to last a lifetime!

My husband and I, four grown and married children, and 13 grandchildren stayed in this amazing space for a family reunion. There was plenty of room for everyone. To my surprise, everyone especially loved the pool table, which was always being used by someone. Our last day there, a bracket was set up and a tournament ensued. The younger grandchildren never wanted to leave the pool, and also loved the visiting cat and finding frogs at night. The outside areas were beautiful and there was plenty of seating for everyone. The location of the home was private and quiet. We LOVED our time spent at the Barlocker Ranch!
