FULL DESCRIPTION OF LISTING
Highland Ranch is over 125 years old and has been welcoming guests for almost 50 years. The present owners, George and Mary Moore Gaines, have restored the land, planted acres of orchards, updated the cabins, added to the list of activities and been warm and gracious hosts since 1987. French, German, Spanish, Italian and even English are all spoken at the Ranch which attracts guests from all over Europe and the United States. George's son, Jim, and Jim's wife, Susie, joined the team in 2004 significantly updating and improving available amenities and services.
Individual cabins and duplexes with various sleeping arrangements are very comfortable and clean. All cabins have king or queen sized beds, private bath, fireplace, telephone, covered porch with rocking chairs and daily housekeeping service. The 115 year old ranch house has an extensive deck overlooking the main orchard and welcomes guests for cocktails and family style meals. The living room is centered around a fireplace and includes an open bar and a card table.
Excellent for Family Reunions, Retreats, weddings, corporate and business groups. Our state of the art heated and fully equipped yurt pavillion will hold up to forty-five people.

Children are welcome with their families. At Highland Ranch, kids thrive on the freedom to roam and the chance to try new things.

Freedom, fresh air and lots of fun! (Childcare is available and we have satellite TV and a collection of media if desired.)
The less-crowded Anderson Valley is home to some of Northern California's undiscovered winery gems and some better known producers also.
