This is such an amazing find! I came here with a friend to watch the meteor shower and it was the perfect getaway. You are right there with the animals. The cabins look out over the valley which makes for some spectacular views and sunsets.

I stayed at The Guanaco cabin on my writer’s retreat and it was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be coming back.
Great views, cute living space, plenty of quiet and grazing llamas all adds up to a relaxing, unique getaway. I wrote, read and meditated for three days without interruption, with guests in the other cabins being respectful of our shared quiet zone. Martin responded quickly to any questions. The cabin was rustic and pleasant, with a nice breeze and offering all the amenities listed and more.
I’d score the Guanaco high points for cleanliness: I felt comfortable upon arrival and staying there. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway trip I’d certainly recommend Martin’s place. (You can also bring your dog).

If you are ever in need of a break from life’s hectic mess. THIS. This is the place to go! I decided to run away for a couple of days, just me and my dogs. And wow. I could not have been happier with my selection of a place to escape to! The little cabin was so perfect and cozy! They had everything I could possibly need as far as the kitchen and toiletries. It was always such a nice temperature in the cabin because of the fresh mountain air! I kept the windows open all day and only shut them at night when it was a bit too cold. The bed was so so cozy and I slept like a baby, then woke up to sweet llamas looking in the window every morning haha! The llamas we so interested in me and my dogs and it was so nice to co exist with them for a few days! Most of my mornings were spent listening to classical music and making breakfast, then to go out exploring the hiking trails on the mountains in front of the cabin. All the trails I took were very nice and visible. The views were spectacular! And the ones I chose ended up wrapping around back to the property. After a nice days hike I spent the evenings outside with calm music playing and a glass of wine, watching the llama and strolling down to pet the horse. Being here made me feel like I was living a separate life from my own. I felt like i was living one of those scenes in the movies! Being here really puts a pause on everything except for what is happening in the present. All you do is focus on the views, the sunsets, and the llamas. If this doesn’t sound like pure bliss then I don’t know what to say. Chose this place, you will come back feeling refreshed, clear minded, and recharged. I will definitely be coming back again any time I need a pause from the world

We had a great time here during the Christmas holiday. There is a trail nearby and the view is really spectacular. Farm animals are very friendly. It is really relaxing staying here. Martin is also very responsive and answered my every question quickly. There is a little problem with the heater. The water is not so hot. Other than that, everything is perfect. Would definitely consider going back in future.

Such an amazing experience! Booked for my wife’s birthday and we were both blown away by the ranch. The animals are literally right outside the cabin which makes for awesome pictures! The cabin has everything you need, I brought some steaks and cooked them on the outdoor grill which was clean and ready to use. Looking forward to coming back!

I truly enjoyed my time here. The cabin is rather secluded, which was exactly what I was looking for. Other visitors to the ranch were close enough that one didn’t feel isolated but far enough to enjoy privacy. The cabin overlooks the mountains and interstate 5, which makes it close enough for anyone driving through and enjoy the accommodations. I hiked around and enjoyed the amazing mountain landscape, an opportunity I would not have been able to do otherwise.

This place was so breathtaking. You get your own little cottage with a private lookout area that opens to the hills and beautiful Liamas. I’m a photographer and I tried to capture an exposure shot in the night and it turned out so beautiful due to less light pollution. The sky was so beautiful for star gazing and the sunrise in the morning was also breathtaking. We had so much fun looking at the animals and it really felt like a beautiful getaway. The Airbnb itself was clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a nice stay. Will come back for a longer stay! Thank you Marlin!

A magical detour off the beaten path. Marlin had excellent communication and super clear directions. Although we arrived after dark, we found the ranch with no problems, and awoke to the incredible sight of peaceful alpacas and guanacos grazing. The pet fee was reasonable, and the cabin is so cozy and has everything we could have needed. And lightning fast wifi!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It’s clean, has everything you need inside, it has a heater and AC which is a big plus because it gets a bit chilly at night. And of course the animals are the main reason why we chose this place. It is really therapeutic just to watch the them from the patio or the cabin. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to unwind.

For any animal lovers out there this is an experience that you have to see for yourself. The fact that the place is far from the city and everywhere else makes this place much more magical. The sights seen at night truly leaves you in awe. The llamas are all so cute and just so curious of humans. Loved how cleaned and well taken care of our cabin way. Would definitely recommend to any animal lovers as the animals that live there are well taken care of and its enjoyable to see the interactions amongst camels and donkeys and llamas. Will definitely return to this ranch and bring others with me as well to enjoy this wonderful place!

I wish I could have stayed at this Airbnb forever. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that far exceeded our expectations. We expected it to be really beautiful based on the photos in the listing, but it has to be seen & felt to truly understand the magic of these accommodations. Before our stay, Marlin was always great at communication and helped us with not one but two date changes (thanks to the unpredictable nature of travel in the past year)! We really appreciated how flexible and understanding he was in this regard. Check-in was easy as could be, with clear directions from Marlin about how to get there and how to get into the cabin. The Guanaco was a lovely little cabin with more than enough space for the two of us. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, and the fuzzy blankets kept us nice and warm when temperatures dropped at night. The cabin was equipped with AC that worked well, but we found that we almost never needed it. The bathroom area was great, and the shower was delightful! The little kitchen area was nice to have, plus we really appreciated the donuts that awaited us (there was also coffee, tea, cereal, milk, etc.). While the animals obviously make some noise (super cute sounds), it was quiet and peaceful at night, and we had no issues getting quality rest! The WiFi was faster than mine is at home. The best part, though, was the fact that the cabin is actually in the animal pen, so we constantly had llamas, guanacos, and camels curiously peering into our window. There’s a big backyard to the cabin, where we could get up close to all of the animals, and we also loved walking around the property! All of the animals were so friendly and SO cute. There were a lot of baby llamas while we stayed there, as well as baby donkeys and baby camels. We also made friends with a sweet little dog. Sunsets and sunrises were equally beautiful, and there are fun hiking trails directly accessible from the property; we saw a lot of really interesting birds on these trails, like hawks and quails! This Airbnb, while feeling perfectly remote, is also located near plenty of other hikes that are just a short drive away, as well as the best taco truck ever and a few other restaurants that we really enjoyed. Like I said, I constantly find myself wishing that I was still there to wake up alongside so many incredible animals amidst such breathtaking scenery, and I can only hope to return some day soon!

The perfect peaceful getaway, especially for animal lovers! Both mornings I woke up to a crowd by my window of adorable llamas, alpacas, and guanacos. They have so much personality yet are so quiet, so no worries about noise at night. I enjoyed walking the trails near dusk, watching the sun set on miles of mountains. The cabin has many thoughtful and comfy touches, and of course, it can’t get any better than a patio and window full of curious camelids. The ranch is an incredibly beautiful and special place, and I definitely recommend staying here if you have the chance!

This is an amazing place. The cabin is super clean and well-equipped, and the camel to patio ratio was also amazing. The patio is fenced in so my dog felt comfortable as well. There are walks all over the mountain and valley, which made for a really special sunset AND sunrise. I felt a lot of peace while here, and would have loved to stay longer. I highly recommend this Airbnb, and will likely try to come back in the future!
