Bad Rat Ranch is a 20-acre ranch with 8 acres of lush vineyards in the scenic countryside of Northern California. The ranch is set amongst rolling hills and vineyards about two hours from both San Francisco and Sacramento. We provide two guest houses (cabins), as well as two campsites with RV hookups. The ranch is an oasis with plenty of space to stretch out. Wander the vineyard, down a beer in the outdoor living room, join a game of volleyball or ping pong, cook a gourmet meal on the BBQ, and end your day soaking in the shared hot tub. Whether you want some seclusion, to hang with other campers, or to visit the attractions of northern California, the ranch offers everything you need for a comfortable stay! Nearby Attractions: Miles of Mountain Bike Trails at Winery Six Sigma 15 minutes from the biggest natural lake in California- Clear Lake 15 minutes from the newest national monument: Barreyessa Snow Mountain 40 minutes to white water rafting on Cache Creek Numerous small wineries within driving distance for tastings 30 minutes to the famous wineries of Napa Valley 1 hour to the hiking trails on Mt. Konocti Several local casinos for some nighttime fun Local creek for cold water swims 15 minutes from Hidden Valley Golf Course 15 minutes from a local grocery store We're pretty chill, so make yourself at home. This is northern California though, so electricity and water don't come easy. Please be mindful of consumption.

I had a wonderful stay. Marek is a very kind and accommodating host. I knew it was going to be lovely when I first arrived and was immediately greeted by his very sweet dog who kept me company until Marek was able to drive down to meet me!

The Tiny House
Amazing experience
I loved staying on Marek’s property. The tiny house was super clean and the temperature was well regulated even though it was pretty hot outside. Since we were the only guests on the property he offered us to stay in the bigger cabin, but we stayed at the tiny house since we wanted that experience.

The Tiny House
Not so tiny, but still great!
Marek was a wonderful host. We didn't actually stay in the Tiny House, because he had a larger unit nearby and offered it to us for a small additional fee. We did take a good look at it and it is an amazing design achievement. It is definitely tiny, but has all the necessary requirements for a night's stay, including shower and cooking facilities. The larger unit we were offered turned out to be perfect for our needs. It's a wonderful setting above a beautiful vineyard with charming volcanic rocks decorating the scene. Marek's dog Ceviche was also very friendly and welcoming.
