Beautiful ranch and farmhouse with plenty of space for three families (6 adults, 7 kids ages 5 to 16). Very private and quiet with great views of the surrounding hills and cattle farm. We enjoyed seeing wild turkey, deer and even a little coyote. Super easy to get into Pismo but you feel worlds away in the country. The great big kitchen, fire pit and ping pong table were some of our favorite amenities. The host was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

Beautiful, secluded property with a nice view. Outdoor spaces are nice and the inside is well kept. Hosts were very responsive to questions. The strong farm smells are for real though!Some of the beds are different sizes or types than listed. Game room beds are a daybed and trundle, not two separate beds. Guest room is two full, not two queen. Wifi is pretty strong throughout the house, but cell service is low/spotty. There are also sprinklers that run across of the roads which can be annoying. Also lawn sprinklers can reduce ability to play outside. There are only some basic kitchen utensils missing (serving bowls, Tupperware, spatula, etc) so bring what you need. There is also no.ice dispenser or trays - so pick some up. Also, bring your own beach towels, umbrellas, etc.

The house was amazing! It has a huge yard which worked perfectly for the toddlers. Plenty of room for everyone and we didn’t feel cramped. The kids loved the big kitchen so we all fit even with space to spare! We took walks around the property and got to see cows and even a momma and baby. It was very cool! The kitchen is ginormous and has a great set up to make dinner. Had a little issue with the living room tv volume, but I messaged the host and she helped me quickly! If we do another vacation we will definitely try to come here again!

The house was cozy and inviting and just far enough away from all the hustle and bustle to feel like you’re in another world. There were 17 of us and we fit very comfortably. The house is stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and kitchen supplies. You’ll need to bring drinking water, plastic wrap or foil if you’re cooking there, and your own groceries. I would totally stay there again. I will say that there’s an operating farm just outside, and there’s a strong operating farm smell, but we weren’t bothered by that at all. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway for your family.

Unbelievable!

This home and its surroundings are even more beautiful in person and accommodated my family of 11 perfectly!! My grandchildren could be let loose outside without a worry for their safety, they ran and played and loved seeing the cows. Pismo Beach is about a 5 minute drive away so it is a perfect location for peace and quiet and closeness to the beach. I highly recommend this property for a family vacation!!

We could not ask for a better experience than we did at this beautiful ranch home.

We are from Arkansas, and our son found a California girl to marry. We have cattle of our own back home and Ali found the perfect place to exchange their vows. Thousand Hills Ranch is by far the most spectacular place on earth. This home provides everything we needed for the Groom and his men to get ready for the big day. We would love to come back soon.

Fantastic Family Reunion

My family consisting of eight adults and six teenagers, had the most fantastic family reunion for five nights at the Ranch. The large property had everything anybody could have possibly dreamed of! For five beautiful days, we played all kinds of card and board games during the evenings, while the days were spent playing outdoor games on our wonderfully comfortable large lawn, or ping pong and other activities in the game room. The well equipped kitchen provided all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils we needed for cooking our meals, both breakfast and dinner.As the weather was so beautiful, we spent a couple of afternoons at the beach, and later enjoyed walking out on the pier delighting in the sunset. A visit to the bowling alley for a couple of games followed by a pizza dinner were all part of the activities of this five day fantastic family reunion. The spaciousness of this beautifully constructed home allowed each family to have one bedroom to organize how they wanted for their family of four and I, the grandmother, chose the well appointed master bedroom for myself and my partner which offers a large double walk in shower. It was just a marvelous property affording everyone a fantastic “long to be remembered” family reunion. Thank you, Megan for your quick responses to my many questions. You were a super host and I greatly appreciate the easy and comfortable communication with you.

The Ranch property was beyond anything we could’ve imagined. The pictures when booking were beautiful, but in person was far past what we imagined. I even heard a family member say, “I think this is what Heaven must look like,” as we sat on the patio watching the sunset! It was such a mind trip to be in Pismo at the beach and a few minutes later driving on the property and feeling like we drove so far out of town because all of a sudden we are on a ranch, in the country, surrounded by mountains, trees and a totally different beautiful landscape!! I can’t rave enough about how awesome the house was! It had everything we could’ve needed and more. So many memories were made with our families who all met here from California, Utah, Alaska and Texas. From watching sunsets, playing ping pong, foosball, corn hole, sitting around the fire pit making s’more’s, to the sounds of cheers as we watched The World Cup, and of course the laughter and conversations had as we enjoyed many meals together. It was an epic getaway!! Our host, Megan, was amazing! So accommodating and kind! She made the stay easy and effortless! I would recommend this property to anyone and the family is already asking and hoping that we can go back again in the future!! We LOVED The Ranch!!!

This place is fabulous!

This house was perfect for our family vacation! Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, and we could spend time together in the living room and eat together in the dining room. The one downfall was not having enough room in the refrigerator for our family of 17, including 2 with special diets, so we ended up going to the grocery store every day. The yard was beautiful and allowed plenty of space for playing and flying kites. The concrete and asphalt driveway was a great place for the kids to ride scooters and roller skate. The fire pit in the back was great for s’mores. We really loved vacationing at The Ranch!
