The place was great overall. The bunkhouse beds were kid sized for the most part but we have smaller people that fit, it all worked out fine.

Beautiful Ranch, Gorgeous Views Everywhere!
Margaret was a wonderful host! Barlocker’s Ranch is warm, clean, spacious and super comfy. We loved the ranch animals, Felipe the mini donkey was a character, Russel the ranch cat was super friendly and 14 - 8 week old puppies were a huge hit with the little ones. Samantha, Ed and Cheryl were super helpful. We had the main house, bunkhouse and the cottage, plenty of space for everyone. I highly recommend Barlockers Ranch. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

Great Family Getaway
The property was beautiful and my family and I had a great time using the outdoor kitchen and the pool. The house was well-stocked with plenty of towels and the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc for a large family BBQ. We really enjoyed our holiday here!

We had a wonderful family reunion at this home. The place is large, with a main home and a bunk house that the kids loved. We also enjoyed the huge kitchen and deck (with a built in BBQ) as well as the heated pool!

Great family getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at Barlocker Ranch. It was the perfect spot for our family gathering to celebrate our son's first birthday. There was plenty of space and privacy for each smaller family unit. We loved walking on the property and seeing all the animals. We all enjoyed the pool and outdoor space.

Wonderful reunion at ranch
Our family of 18 people had a great time at Margaret’s ranch. We brought a lot of food and the kitchen are well equipped to meet all our cooking needs. Margaret and Rosa were very responsive to our requests and text. The location of ranch is very convenient for daytime hiking to pinnacle NP and point lobos state park. I highly recommended Margaret’s ranch.

Family Holiday Gathering
It was large, comfortable, and convenient location. We planned this location in October 2022, not knowing of the weather issues that plagued the Northern California. Miraculously, the skies cleared and we spent a marvelous 4 days at the Barlocker Ranch!

Great spot for a big group!
This was an amazing spot to house our big family get-together. There was plenty of space for everyone and not feel like we were on top of one another. We had a little hiccup up with check in, but the staff was great at accommodating us and super helpful all weekend. Great outdoor kitchen and eating area that I wish had been in the pics. The bunkhouse was an added benefit as well for sleeping. The setting was absolutely beautiful. Loved it and would definitely return.

Family Reunion
We had six couples and three single adults and two young children. We were short one bedroom since the Bunk house, with two king beds is only one room. The main house is beautiful and the pool and grounds are well kept. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay visiting The Pinnacles and Monterey Aquarium. Be aware that Tuesday and Wednesday most of the local wineries are closed.

A marvelous time
Our family gathered in CA for a wedding at Big Sur and a family reunion. We were seven siblings getting together after 49 years along with our children and cousins. The ranch was an ideal setting. The property managers were immediately on hand to answer questions and talk to us about the ranch. The kids and adults loved the horses and Felipe the donkey and his antics. A fantastic kitchen was enjoyed by all especially my Chec son! Thank You and we hope to come again

Beautiful property.
We had a great time with our extended family during the Thanksgiving holiday. We had 5 kids under the age of four, two teenagers, and 12 adults and there was plenty of room. There was an initial room mix up when we first arrived but Margaret took care of it right away. Steve and his son Caleb were really helpful and were on property most of the time to answer any questions we had. Really sweet family and beautiful location. Only a 30 minute drive to Monterey.

We had 16 people ranging from 2 to 74 in age. We invited all 4 of our kids and their spouses and all 7 of our grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Loved the roominess of the kitchen and family room. We rented the main house and the cottage. We all enjoyed the outdoors and the kids loved the animals Wewill go here again!
