This place is perfection. Come to enjoy days by the cool swimming pool, woodsy walks on quiet trails, and evenings with wine by the fire pit. Stay for the french press coffee tray brought to your room the next morning and a homemade farm fresh breakfast at the table, with a view of the trees outside floor to ceiling windows. Flipjack Ranch is far enough away from it all to forget your troubles, but still a short drive to the Swift Street Courtyard Wineries and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, if you're the type that likes to keep busy.

The ranch has goats, sheep, turkeys, chickens, ducks, a couple of cats and one lucky pet rabbit called T. Rex. While you're here you can learn a bit about sustainable farming, and don't forget to purchase some homemade jams and pickles in their adorable store before you depart!
