From the reviews

We recently hosted 15 family members at the beautiful Cavallo Ranch property for a two night, three day celebration. The property is a working ranch with nine horses, exotic chickens and four pigmy goats that are all well cared for.

★★★★★ — Michael, Nov 2023

Stayed here with our family and friends. The home is exquisite with every room being sizable and having an on suite bathroom. The bar is a great spot for adults to mingle.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Jul 2024

This place is unbeatable. The rooms all have an ensuite bathroom but what steals the show is the "backyard". There is a pool, lake for fun activities (including fishing), tennis court, bocce ball, and bikes to ride around. They even provided carrots to go feed the animals in the barn.

★★★★★ — Kathy, Feb 2024

I was a guest of a dear friend who had his birthday at this ranch and it was nothing less than amazing! 🤩 The house itself, amenities and the staff were ALL TOP DRAW!

Getting married at Cavallo Ranch

Cavallo Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Cavallo Ranch

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Cavallo Ranch — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
