Flipjack Ranch was a wonderful place for our get-away long weekend! Usually we think of B&B as bed and breakfast but in this case, we'd say it was Breakfast and Bed!! The experience was truly farm to table with fruits picked from their trees and greens foraged from the farm. The breakfasts were hearty and served us well for our 10 mile hike at the nearby Henry Cowell Redwoods and our several mile walk and picnic the next day at Pajaro Dunes. The dining room also added to the experience with the large wall of windows, beautifully decorated farm table, cozy fireplace, and resident friendly cats.
In addition to many decorative touches and fresh flowers, the Cowgirl room had a comfortable king-size bed and bedding and a cozy corner fireplace. We both slept well, and after waking up refreshed , we took our morning wake-up tea (or coffee) service in our room as the mornings were a little chilly. There was a cute outdoor patio right outside, however.
The whole property itself was amazing with its redwoods, other trees, farm and farm animals. Though we did go for our own short walk on our arrival day, we were unable to take advantage of the offered farm tour after breakfast as we had planned the long hike. There is a hot tub, which we didn't use (we forgot bathing suits) but the nights were so quiet and serene, we felt thoroughly relaxed just being there.
Flipjack Ranch does offer other activities, such as water color painting on the beach and canning techniques, which we didn't participate in this time, but maybe someday in the future! We can't thank Robin, David, and ranch manager, Teri enough for our wonderful stay!
