About My VR Property or VR-Related Business

Lovingly preserved and freshly restored, this rustic beauty sparkles! Architecture is reminiscent of Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel, with cathedral ceilings, stripped redwood beams, and 4 river rock fireplaces. This idyllic retreat was built in 1930 by my great grandparents, and Pebble Beach residents, Grace and Paul Veeder to relax and entertain guests. Cherished by our 5 family generations as a private hideaway home, The Ranch House is now offered as an exclusive, executive family retreat that today's multiple generations can treasure as they enjoy precious time together. Exquisite kitchen, 3 bedrooms / 2 quaint bathrooms (pedestal tub/shower in the guest suite and a candlelit fireplace shower in the master suite) with custom furnishings throughout. Careful preservation and upgrades adorn this historic treasure. Just 15 minutes from Carmel, and its coastal fog, The Ranch House at Garzas Creek soaks in Carmel Valley sunshine most of the year. Minutes away to golf, horseback riding, shopping, fine dining, & wine tasting.

Comfortably sleeps 6 - 8.

 
Words of Wisdom for VR Owners
Have postcards made of your property and keep them in your car to help promote at every opportunity.  Attention to detail, in the smallest things, seems to make all the difference.  A personal card greeting each guest, and a handwritten note of thanks after leaving is a nice touch.  Even the guestbook can be personalized with online guestbooks to make an extra special impression.
 
Other Passions, Interests, and Pursuits
I love hiking and exploring nature. I love being at our Ranch House more than any other place in all the world, so it is a real passion for me to talk with people about this special and unique retreat in the woods.  I love thinking about how to do more to capture the imaginations of our guests.  As a Writer and Literary Artist, I have a few creative ideas up my sleeve... but this will have to be revealed later!
