Luxury Cabin on 10 acre Ranch (Pet Friendly) | House in Ione

Private, stone and wood beam guest cottage located on a 10 acre retreat style property. King Bed, Full Kitchen, Loft, Full Bathroom, Wifi, TV, Fireplace We invite you to come and relax and leave the world behind...a place to truly get away from it all: Drink coffee or wine on the deck, Read, Write, Daydream, Swim, Fish, Hike. 1 Hour to Sacramento, 2 Hours to San Francisco *Please read entire listing before booking (About Your Dogs, Wifi, Cell Service, Checkin requests, etc)
Guest House: Completely separate from the main house. (Approximately 50 yards away) It's the perfect place for a couple or single to relax and recharge :) King Bed, bathroom, kitchen and sitting area are on the main floor.
Loft upstairs has a full desk and chair along with an additional plush chair for reading.
Full porch on the back with views of the pond and where the horses feed. Guests have spent many a morning drinking coffee and nights on the back deck drinking wine and enjoying the view. Charcoal Grill on deck.
Property: 10 acre Ranchette with a pond, pool, gazebo, walking trails and firepits. Pond is a catch and release with bass fish. We are at the end of a dead end road and the back of our property borders 440 acres of county owned pasture land. All of the roads to get here are paved.
We do a few personalizations for our guests- if you are bringing a guest or pets please let us know their first names so we can include them :)
Checkin- Self checkin- we do not see guests during this time. If you need an early or late checkin please book the night before or the night after. We are booked almost every night and unlike hotels, we do not have other units available to accommodate these requests.
Your Dogs/Cats/Horses: Friendly fur animals are SUPER welcome here!!! Most dogs go off leash and absolutely LOVE being free! They are also free to swim in the pond and pool. Make sure to let us know if you are bringing a pet (and their first names) as we have special welcome packages for them :)
Pool and Property: Guests will have full free roam of all of the property including the pool, gazebo etc.
We have just added another airbnb to the property- it is a tiny house on wheels (like the shows on TV) :)
Tiny House Listing: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/27203739
Animals: 3 horses, 3 goats, multiple barn cats and our house dogs. (Amount of horses here can vary as we rotate with our in laws who are 1 ranch over)
Horses: It depends on the season how many we have but will always have at least 2. If you would like to feed and/or pet just let us know. They love apples- if you would like to bring some to feed them they will love you
Our Dogs: Banks, Jett and Tennessee. Banks (german shorthaired pointer) is older and is inside 99% of the time. Jett (female pocket german shorthaired pointer) and Tennessee (goofy male black lab) like to play and lounge around outside. They are not outside of our backyard unless we are outside with them.
***If your dogs do not get along well with other dogs then we ask that you NOT bring them.
Your dogs: They are free to roam off leash. Our property is fenced but not secure if a dog really wants to escape. We find most dogs off leash just like to run in the grass. Your dogs can swim in the pond and the pool.
If your dog is off leash you must keep an eye on them :)
(Do NOT let them wander unsupervised)
SUPER IMPORTANT: Do not let your dogs harass our cats, horses or goats. (It is normal for a dog to bark a few times at a horse/goat/cat but if it is trying to get to the horses or goats through the fences then you need to not take it close to the fence) Same with cats- do not let your dogs chase our cats- if they chase please keep them on the leash for the entirety of your stay.
Having said all of that, 95% of dog owners do not even need to be told all of the above. Unfortunately, we have had some clueless dog owners so we are now are as upfront as possible with all doggie rules.
Other occasional wildlife include deer, ducks, cranes, geese, wild turkeys, pheasants, otters, muskrats. Ducks and cranes are more common. Geese, wild turkeys and pheasants are seasonal. You will occasionally hear coyotes off in the distance at night.
***Spring and summer brings LOTS of wildlife. Especially summer!
We have LOTs of birds- we once had a bird specialist randomly come stay with us and tell me all the different types of birds we have here...oh how I wish I would have written them all down. Or perhaps you know about birds and can help me categorize them? :)
Fish: We have a 2 acre pond full of bass fish- fish as much as you want we just ask that you catch and release
Kids over 12 are Welcome: This is a great property for kids to roam and experience semi ranch life. There is A LOT of water here. The pond is about 2 acres and there is a pool. We trust you know your children and can properly discern if this is the right place for them. :-) Over the years we have had tons of kids stay and enjoy.
About us: We are entrepreneurs and live in the main house on the property. We have an office that is 2 miles away and Dori goes there to work a lot. Meredith is at the ranch doing ranch chores more often. We are both originally from cities and enjoy the peace and solitude this property provides. We are more than willing to be friendly and socialize or give you complete privacy. Meredith tries to do all noisy ranch chores during checkout hours :)
Things to Know Before You Come:
Secluded: We are 20 minutes away from a real grocery store so make sure to stock up before you come. There is gas station 2.5 miles away that has snacks and basic items. We keep tea and coffee and standard kitchen items stocked in the cottage.
Connectedness: We have Wifi. Cell service is not very good. (Just a grade above terrible::) You can stand in certain places to get better signals but Wifi is best here for communication.
PLEASE NOTE: the Wifi might go out while you are here and it might even take 24 hours to get it fixed- we do not have utility services here like in big city- aka things happen slower here! Update- it could even take 1 week to get fixed as we just had an event occur where the internet was down for an entire week. This seems to happen about once a month. We have guests here pretty much every night so if it does happen while you happen to be here we apologize in advance and we always work to get it up as fast as possible. Sometimes it's things like the olive branches needing to be trimmed out of the way of the beam! Most guests take it in stride and will do other things besides being online, however we have had some guests be very upset about this so we want to just give a heads up that this IS a possibility during your stay :)
Ranch Life: The guest house is luxurious but this is a ranch with animals and wildlife and dirt and bugs :) Please bring appropriate attire to fully enjoy the ranch life. Please bring bug spray
Seasons:
Spring: Lots of green and flowers by June it is usually very warm
Summer: July and August are HOT- bring your swimsuit or just relax in the air conditioned cottage and on the back deck. We can't over emphasize hot! AKA you will be in the pool or inside the entire day. It will cool off by 9pm
Fall: lots of fall colors and starting to turn green when the first rains come. Cooler weather. Great time for wine tasting!
Winter (November to March):
A lot of rain and it can be soggy so bring boots. The rain makes the grass green but there are not as many flowers as in the summer. We enjoy a lot of fires in winter (Guest House is fully heated and air-conditioned and has a gas fireplace.)
We certainly have all seasons here although it does not snow.
We also make our own olive oil. If you are super interested, we can arrange for you to go one ranchette over to see the olive trees, do a tasting and talk to my 85 year old Dad about his trees :-) (he often wins gold at the prestigious Los Angeles International Olive Oil Competition- lol he is very modest so he wouldnt tell you but we will- its a BIG deal as its the #1 competition in the US and the fifth in the world)
Tour is $100 per tour and includes a bottle of olive oil.
