The Ripe Choice Farm borders on beautiful boutique vineyards, olive grove, small town living, peace and quiet or a casual let your hair down atmosphere.

Tammy and Mark are friendly, accommodating hosts. We really appreciated their help with our dead car battery! Their working farm is a great place to stay. The location is convenient for many outings. Tammy’s breakfast was abundant and delicious. The loft provides a clean, comfortable, relaxing stay. Definitely looking forward to our next visit!

Barn Loft

This was a beautiful, serene property! The barn loft is not your ordinary lodging and it's a little secluded and very cool. The furnishings are basic but very comfortable and the owners were very responsive to any requests. We had a great stay!

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is very beautiful, quiet, relaxing, and so comfortable.

We loved staying here. The hosts, Mark and Tammy, were so helpful from the beginning of the registration process to the last day of our stay. They were especially nice and gave us lots of good advice about the area. The property is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The view from each of the windows was amazing. It is so relaxing and comfortable and we enjoyed every day. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Great Farm Stay

The food was absolutely amazing! I definitely recommend adding breakfast and dinner to your stay. The farm itself is lovely and larger than i expected. My 2yo, dog, and I enjoyed walking thr grounds and visiting the animals. Very nice, quiet area perfect for relaxing. Lots of activities nearby to occupy your time. Fantastic hosts and can't wait to visit again.

Cater my life!

We were in town visiting family and it was lovely to have our own space at the end of the day. If you stay here without ordering a meal from Ripe Choice, you are missing out! The owners asked for any dietary needs and I have a few, which they worked around deliciously.

Great place for a quiet getaway.

We wanted a quiet getaway for just us. The farm was just as advertised. Mark and Tammy were available but not intrusive. The breakfast we added on was so amazing. The loft had everything we could ask for. Clean and homey. We were able to completely relax. So dark at night you could really see the stars. Definitely a return again place.

Return Trip As Amazing As First Experience - Coming Back Soon!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and it is truly a gem! John and Tammy are amazing hosts, super communicative, sweet, and helpful. Tammy is an amazing chef, so you absolutely have to order at least one meal when you stay here. We were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday this time and there was a mixup in the flower delivery. John and Tammy went out of their way to give us a bottle of champagne when we arrived and then they also drove out and picked up the flowers I had ordered. The farm is beautiful, there are many nearby wineries, and an amazing hike up Mt Konocti if you want to do that. We will definitely be back for a third time soon!

Nice quiet farm stay

Great hosts, property exactly as described, and nice stay on a small farm. Really delicious food available from the hosts, although a bit pricey - we got the dinner, was really nice, best asparagus I've ever tasted! The barn loft is pretty solid - lacking some things like a kitchen sink to wash glasses (did this in the bathroom), but that was all fine. A little bit of noise from the commercial kitchen for their catering business , but nothing significant. Pretty hot in the loft too - we arrive on a 85 degree day, and took about 30 minutes of running the unit and fans to get comfortable. If you're coming on a hot day, might be worth messaging the hosts to ask them to start running the cooling and fans like an hour before you plan to arrive. Overall, very enjoyable, good value for cost.

Very nice secluded space, great hosts, some small improvements would help

Nice secluded rustic space with a very comfy bed. Great value for the price. One large room with a modern bathroom and shower. AC worked great during some very hot weather. Layout of the room is a bit strange with TV on the side of bed and chairs across the room. Wi-Fi Internet was very spotty connection - may have been due to heat. There is an industrial kitchen just below the “loft” that was a little noisy but not bothersome. The space would be significsntoy improved if they added a kitchenette with a sink, small stove, and cooktop to make own food. Currently just a fridge and microwave for eating.

Utterly charming farm stay!

The hosts were wonderful: very friendly and responsive without being intrusive at all. The room itself was comfortable, clean and spacious, with rustic charm, yet all the amenities I needed (modern bathroom, fridge, microwave, Keurig, well stocked cupboard of utensils & dishes, etc). The giant windows afforded a lovely overlook of the farm property, and you can drift to sleep watching the multitude of stars from the cozy memory foam bed, watch the little morning bats swooping outside just before dawn, and you can even see a sliver of Clear Lake and the mountains on a non-misty day. The small collection of adorable resident critters include a couple of friendly dogs, a few curious hens, two charming potbellied pigs, and one slightly shy giant tortoise. Oh and the food. The FOOD! I was welcomed to invite a couple of my local friends to join me for a few meals on the farm, and each meal outdid the last, carefully prepared to suit our dietary requests. Extremely generous portions, and could not have been more fresh and delicious! The hands-down best meals of my entire week in CA. I hope to come back again sometime with my husband, as I know he would love this place as much as I did!
