What to expect:

We may have most of what you need. Reach out with any inquiries.

Dirt roads will require 4 wheel drive during rain and snow, so please check the weather for upcoming weather. We will find a way to shuttle your group in if there is a last/minute storm. Let’s keep an eye on the weather.

Master has one King bed, 2nd bedrooms have 2 twins, living room has a Queen sofa bed.
One additional roll-away bed.

Exterior camera over garage for added security.

Spa is cleaned and sanitized. Cover will be on unless you suggest to have it removed before check in. It gets very windy so we like to keep the cover on to keep dirt and bugs out. Specific instructions are needed beforehand to remove cover. Let us know what degree you would like us to pre-set for you.

Pot Belly fireplace may be a first for some of you! Reach out for instructions.

High winds may come up unexpectedly. Wildlife including coyotes, mice, rabbits, bobcats, deer, snakes are sometimes seen and heard. Please keep a close eye on your children. The home is not baby-proofed. The backyard is gated, but please stay close to your children.

No smoking allowed, this is a VERY high fire zone area. There is not an exterior fire pit for this reason.

Please keep garage and all doors and screen closed when not in use.

A text will be sent to your phone with instructions and QR code to access door key.
Gate code will be given out before arrival.

Guests can use all 40 acres of the property and can bring their own Quads, bikes, cars, RV's etc. There are nearby quad and campground areas for the experienced daredevils!

Dirt roads to and around the property. It's best to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to access Via Oak Grove and the property during rain and snowy conditions.

The driveway connects to the lower neighbor’s yard. When you find the gate on the South end of the property, that will be the property line (unless you have booked both properties with Country Cowboy Hot Tub Hideaway).

(Subject to guide availability). It is an easy/intermediate hike. Message me to check availability/date.

HOW TO FIND THE HOME and EXTERIOR FEATURES

It is always best to use COORDINATES. If you are pulling trailers it will be very hard to turn around if you go too far.

From Borrego Springs go West on Montezuma Valley Road. At about the first flat area look for the pine trees on the rt and you will find Via Oak Grove Lane. Turn right onto the dirt road. There may be grooves, usually on the left side of the road. We recommend 4 x 4 vehicles in rainy and snowy seasons. The road is about a mile long and when you see the telephone pole on the right just over the steep hill you will find our gate with the sign “IRISH OAKS RANCH”. The keypad is on the left pole and the code will be given before check in.

From the West on Montezuma Valley Road: (about a ½ mile past the store and Yeti statue) you will see some Pine trees on the left – this will be Via Oak Grove Lane. Turn left. Then continue with the same directions as above.

Continue onto the driveway and follow around to the left when you see the ENTER sign. It will take you around directly to the house. You may exit out across from the garage going left and it will take you out the EXIT. Try to avoid the little rock pile with the flags on the driveway. You may bring your ATV’s/toys but we prefer to follow the ENTER and EXIT directions to avoid accidents. There are other little roads behind the big bush by the RV hookups. There is even a “shooting range” if you have Air Soft guns or slingshots. The neighbors know we all like to use our ATV’s/motorcycles etc., but please don’t kick up too much dirt on the roads outside our property. There are 40 acres to enjoy.

The RV hookup has water and 20 volt plug and is about 40 ft from the house behind the big bush. It is in a super private location.

Remember that although this is an amazing country living experience, there may be coyotes, snakes, bobcats, mountain lions etc. Please be cautious and protect your loved ones. We like to keep our home mouse and pest free. Keeping the doors and garage doors closed has helped.

USING THE FRONT DOOR KEYBOX
You should have received a text and an email with instructions. There will be a QR code to scan at the window of the box. Press the button on the front of the box. When the lights turn on you will aim the QR code into the key window. The box will slowly release the key from the bottom of the box. Remove the key with its holder and leave the key in the holder until you check out. It may take a few tries to retrieve the key. When checking out GENTLY put the key in the bottom with the silver facing to the right. It will automatically retrieve the key back in without force.

Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions. Enjoy!

Awesome country property
We have stayed in around a dozen rental properties over the past 10 years and this ranch house ranks right at the top of our list. We hated to leave after a week but had other places to go.The house itself is large, very comfortable, bright, and extremely quiet. The kitchen is excellent and well-equipped. If you are looking for a very isolated, quiet stay, consider this one. The hot tub was a great bonus.From day one, communication with the owners and caretaker was over the top. If I could rate them 6-stars, I would! I never waited more than 5 minutes for answers to my many questions.As the owners advise you ahead of time, the property is very isolated and Ranchita offers no stores, groceries, gasoline at all. We were there to hike and birdwatch and really enjoyed both. In summary, a great rental in a beautiful location with fabulous owners.

Ranchita weekend
We loved our secluded weekend at Roberta's place among the oaks, red shank shrubs and boulders near Ranchita. She and Genevieve were accommodating and patient with our requests for a change in the bed arrangements and let us in early when we arrived. Lovely views, good working kitchen. Close to hiking up on the plateau and less than a half hour from Anza Borrego. Enjoyed the hot tub as well!

Beautiful secluded house
We had an amazing time on our short trip here. Very secluded and remote, and the night sky was amazing. The owner was super responsive when we messaged her, and the house was in excellent shape. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was pretty great too! Thank you!

Rest, serenity and NIGHT SKY!
My husband and I picked this property to see the night skies and we were not disappointed! It’s a very remote location with quiet and no lights so you may enjoy the amazing night skies, along with some shooting stars. The location is 10/10; it has everything you need just bring food! The host is 10/10! Roberta made check-in and out very easy and simple. We will definitely be back.

My son loves astronomy so we needed a place that was remote for the dark skies. This place was perfect. We loved that we could walk right out the door and set up his telescope. The house was very clean, organized and well stocked. Know that there are no stores or restaurants nearby so you must bring your own food and drinks. Roberta, our contact person was amazing. She was pleasant, easy to reach and very informative. We would love to stay here again.

10 out of 10 Exceptional Experience!
We had an amazing time staying at the property! This vacation actually felt like a vacation. The property had everything needed for a relaxing time away from home. There were board games, horseshoes, cornhole, fuzzball and jigsaw puzzles to keep even the teenagers busy. The pantry was well stocked with everything needed. There were extra blankets, pillows and towels. The home was immaculately clean and very very comfortable. The manager/owner Roberta was very communicative and responsive to my messages and she was a great hostess for the entire stay. Check-in and check-out process was seamless. Will definitely recommend friends and family this place if they want to have a relaxing experience. Will definitely stay here again next time we need to get away from the craziness and congestion of the city…..and just relax and sip wine outside and watch the stars.

Amazing dark sky escape!
What a place!!! And what a host!! Amazing communication and care with this one. This is a real gem. No neighbors in shouting range of the house, skies dark enough to see the milky way, breathtaking mountain views, and really impressively clean and stocked accomodations. Will definitely be coming back to this one!!

It was the location & timing which primarily brought us to this absolute gem of a vacation rental. (We were seeking super dark skies for stargazing & viewing the Milky Way during June’s new moon) but we were totally impressed by this really pretty house with a great floorplan & every household amenity you will need while away for several days. The open area kitchen is a perfect space to prepare meals & the family room is very comfortable. Everything is super clean; the bathrooms, the floors, the windows, the appliances & BBQ. Central air conditioning is nice for the hot daytime. The spa is on the deck overlooking valleys & mountains was fresh & welcoming. We will be back for the next celestial event. Communication with the property owner was prompt & clear. The entire experience was streamlined & pleasant… we highly recommend this place.

Rejuvenating Weekend
My husband and I spent Friday through Sunday in this rental. It was absolutely lovely. The house was spotless, full of amenities, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. When we weren't exploring Julian or Anza Borrego, we spent time in the house playing games, watching movies, eating, and relaxing in the hot tub. It was very windy during our trip, which made the hot tub even more inviting! The stars at night were fantastic. Communication was great and check in and check out were very easy. We hope to stay again next year!
