Dog-Friendly Ranch Experience in CA Gold Country
Fenced 60-acre ranch with private hiking trails, swimming pond, friendly barn animals & more!
Escape to the beautiful Northern California Sierra foothills and our private ranch. Bring your dogs, and/or enjoy playing with our animals.
There are many things to enjoy on the private 60 acres from off-leash hiking trails, dog/people swimming pond, hot tub, game room, and spectacular views from our hilltop house.
The Dog & Pony Ranch is a short drive from Sacramento and SF/San Jose Bay Area for easy getaways. Our location offers the best of both worlds with the rural privacy to re-connect with nature PLUS the conveniences of being only a few miles from small country towns for groceries, restaurants, and more.
Guest House
Ranch life doesn’t have to be rustic as you’ll see in our 5-star guest house with spectacular views, hot tub, and luxury amenities! The guest house is comfortable for up to 6 people overnight. This is a romantic master suite, a multi-use room that has a room-divider curtain for the 2nd bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, and a stunning great room with dining room and loft.
Day Visit guests also have access to the guest house to use the bathrooms, chill food in the fridge or warm it in the microwave, or relax on the patio between walks with the dogs.
There is plenty of parking and private guest entrance/patio/yard. Our main house is adjacent so both have excellent views. We host only one group at a time (Day guests between Overnight rentals) so you have as much privacy as you want in this relaxing rural paradise.
Pet Friendly!
What makes our Dog & Pony Ranch so special are the many features that have been designed for 4-footed family members who are not only “dogs considered” but DOGS WELCOME! No extra charges for well-behaved dogs (unless damages). Extensive fencing around entire 60 acres, multiple dog yards, and pastures keeps dogs safely separated as needed. |
Barn Animals
While enjoying the beautiful property during your country getaway, guests may join our daily barn visits to interact with the animals. Meet our dog-friendly horses and pet our darling mini donkeys while feeding them treats we provide. Enjoy farm-fresh eggs after collecting them from the coop or just have a laugh while watching the chickens run and play. |
Location
Dog & Pony Ranch is located in Northern California's gold country. Amador County is rich with history and small town charm, along with the new "gold" of the area: vineyards and wineries!
The property has the best of both worlds offering peaceful seclusion on 60 private fenced acres, while being close to the conveniences of small country towns (Pine Grove, Jackson and Sutter Creek). See the local info section for recommendations of the many fun things to do nearby.
