Recommendations

Epic Event Venue, close to Bay Area - An Eventective User from Hillsborough, CA

We got a large group of friends and their families together and spent a weekend event in both houses and glamping at the Bar SZ Ranch- everyone, adults and kids alike had the most amazing time meeting the animals, swimming in the Ranch House pool, and being out in nature. Our kids played capture the flag in their beautiful arena. People are still raving about it months later. Hospitality was outstanding, the Borland family is something else and obviously LOVE what they do and are passionate about teaching and inspiring others. The sunset and stargazing from the Ranch House lawn was EPIC. It is a 10-15 min drive to Pinnacles National Park so many families used the ranch as a base to get to the park early and beat the crowds! We had Thyme Catering a local farm to table catering business make dinner for us one night- they catered to folks that were gluten-free, allergic, and were so attentive and most of all delicious! Ashley Sand provided bartending services and some fantastic local wines. We were provided with a booking link for archery, BB gun lessons, and horseback riding lessons so families could book on their own. The horses were fantastic and well cared for! Also free experiences included helping with animal feeding (There are goats, chickens, a donkey, you name it!), and we got to meet a baby mustang they rescued which was more well behaved than our kids. :) We hired their well-spoken daughter Maddi to teach us a country line dancing lesson and it was a blast!! Apparently sometimes they also offer goat milking lessons, making goat's milk soap, education on chicken egg incubation, and even horsemanship lessons. THANK YOU for providing a unique country experience for our huge party!! It was just 1.5-2 hrs drive from the Bay Area but we felt like we were in another state and another time.
