Flipjack Ranch is seriously cool and so beautiful and serene in the wilderness. The cowboy room is all done up in wood, like a cabin, and has a really cool bathroom and shower, as well as a wood burning stove (for which they thoughtfully provide kindling and a lighter as well as logs), and a private balcony. We enjoyed sitting out there each night and watching the stars. We picked the cowboy room because it was the only one with two beds, but I think we ended up with the coolest room in the house. There’s also a tiny modern house built into a fairy circle of trees on the property that I want to check out on a future trip though!
Also on the property: a lovely pool, a hot tub, lots of redwood forest to explore with cool surprises by the path, a farm with chickens and turkeys and rabbits, and some very sweet housecats. The cats were especially friendly and we left our door open on the last night so that they could spend the night with us. The room and the property felt very safe, secluded but not isolated, with private-feeling rooms. The morning coffee service to the room is wonderful hospitality, and the farm-to-table breakfast outside on the main patio is incredible. We can’t wait to go back!
