Gorgeous View/ Great Host
A Place at James Ranch was such a nice getaway. From the living room and dining table you get such a beautiful view of the ranch and mountains. It was very cozy and had such nice touches (especially the stove heater) with the cold weather. Julie (The host) kept great communication with us and was very attentive to anything we needed. We would absolutely love to go back and stay again! Also, there is a store and restaurant within a minute drive called James Ranch Grill and we can tell you that it was the BEST burger that we have ever had. We wish that we would have had time to buy some meat from their market because everything looked delicious and high quality. We highly recommend A Place at James Ranch!

A Place at James Ranch
Wonderful stay. The suite was clean, roomy and well equipped for two. The highway is close and noisy at times but inside is quiet. The James Ranch Grill (just down the road) has excellent locally sourced food.

The Tree Swing!
Beautifully decorated and so comfortable. Julie is a wonderful and caring host making sure you are settled in and taken care of. There is a wonderful oak tree with a swing and be sure to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunrise with the bird chirping. Seriously the burgers at the cafe- do not miss them. Ahmazing!

Don’t miss this one… it’s special!
This is a very special place. The views are spectacular and the studio was lovely, comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. We enjoyed visiting the market and grill on St. James Ranch just up the road. There is a fabulous tree swing in the yard for guests of all ages to enjoy. We very much appreciated the comfortable bed, nice shower and washer/dryer. Julie was a great host and we hope to return someday!
