We had a fabulous family vacation in a magical place. Everything was as nice as could possibly be. I would love to return for another visit and would highly recommend this beautiful experience.

Loved your spot of heaven! The house, the camping area, the river running through it was so beautiful. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. The pool was sparking clean and the grounds were immaculate! Will definitely come back!

The team at Bar SZ Ranch were so friendly and helpful! We had a great trail ride with gentle horses with fun personalities. The wildflowers were in bloom and the hills were covered with fields of yellow and orange. It was magnificent!

So much fun! Our kids loved this - particularly getting to hold 1 day old kittens! Definitely worth doing.

This place is amazing. We (a family of four with a 9 year old girl and 7 year old boy) had a wonderful time here. Tim, Michelle and the entire crew are fabulous. the grounds and surrounding scenery are truly spectacular. We stayed in one of the glamping tents, which were very spacious. This place is also just a short drive from the east entrance of Pinnacles National Park, which is very helpful since there is limited parking in the park and the proximity allows us to get to the park without worrying about parking. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true getaway. Tons of fun activities at the Ranch. Thank you, Tim, Michelle and crew!

What a fun horseback riding experience we had! My 8 years old son who was not sure if he was brave enough to ride a horse had so much fun, and he kept asking if he could do this again several times after. We all enjoyed learning how to take care of the horses as well.

My wife, son and I had one of the best weekends in a long while at Bar SZ Ranch! We were able to ride horses, feed and pet an amazing assortment of farm animals and relax in an incredibly beautiful place. Out hosts were all down to earth, truly kind and thoughtful people who you just want to spend more time with. We were hoping to find a place for a repeat visit and this is definitely it!
