Absolutely stunning home. Breathtaking. Pool was way bigger than shown on picture! The AC didn’t work on the back half of the house, but other than that it was perfect! My brother had a beautiful engagement here

We had a wonderful stay at the ranch. There is so many things to do at the house. The pool was huge, the beds were cozy, the decor was cute. One side of the house didn’t have working AC, but the fans were helpful. I definitely want to come back and stay with family. It was a perfect getaway from San Diego, only 30 minutes away, but felt like Palm Springs. I’ll absolutely be recommending this house to friends and family.

The Stay Propr team sets the bar high for what hosting should look like. Staying at The Ranch House was a highlight of our trip, largely due to how organized and responsive they were. They kept us informed, resolved all our issues/questions extremely fast, and were available 24/7. It’s rare to find such a thoughtful and professional team managing a rental. We’ll definitely be looking for their properties on our next trip.
