Stayed in the cottage for 2 nights. Very beautiful ranch. Amazing garden. The Koi pond was spectacular. Very happy with our stay.

Had an incredible 2 nights stay at the beautiful cottage with my partner. We arrived late at night and Jessica gave us very precise instructions and made sure the light was on for us to find our way. The cottage is beautiful and quaint- we loved the hardwood floors and the bathtub! The space had lots of light and felt homey and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept like babies. The gardens were a really lovely sight to wake up to the next morning. We wandered around the grounds and found 3 very eager and friendly goats, lots of chickens, beautiful rose gardens and overall such an idyllic environment. I'd imagine this would be a perfect place for a wedding or special event and hope we'll have an occasion to do so in the future here. Thanks again for the beautiful experience. Highly recommend this for a weekend getaway, wedding, or anniversary!

What a hidden gem! This place was the perfect dose of nature that we needed. The grounds are beautifully manicured to delight all of your senses. The fresh air, flora, and fauna will remind you that there are so many natural wonders in this world that you have yet to experience. We especially loved the "English" style gardens with its hidden splendor. Bravo to the caretakers of this estate, as it must be a monumental task.

It was beautiful to spend Mother’s Day at the Garden Valley Ranch. Jessica set up tables where we could bring in a picnic, and my family enjoyed the opportunity to walk around the property and forage for flowers. What a fantastic and unique experience! Thank you, GVR!

This is such a magical place! The hosts are amazing and we love coming here for their wonderful events. Our favorites parts of the farm are the little goats and chickens, the secret garden, and of course, the intoxicatingly beautiful flowers.

Beautiful! Great venue for all of life's celebrations. A beautiful walk down the rose aisle for any bride wanting an outdoor wedding. The grounds are well planned out for you and your guests to enjoy while taking in the beauty.

? Garden Valley Ranch is a dream! We got married here in May 2023 and it was such a magical and lovely space. I looked at other venues but when we got to GVR we knew we found our spot.We wanted an outdoor wedding — and the rose garden is such a special and beautiful place. The Secret Garden is such a cool feature as well; we loved how we could utilize all the different spaces but how close everything was - super accessible and easy for our guests to walk between ceremony to cocktail hour then back to the lawn for dinner. Even though we didn’t use the barn for the wedding, it’s such a great space and is nice to have access (it allowed us to have a quick backup plan in case we needed to move indoors, luckily we didn’t).Jessica (the owner) was so great to work with and really helped as I did a lot of the planning myself. We were even able to do our own flowers and store them overnight in the garden shop fridge. Another benefit is we were able to drop off decor and rentals early and picked up the next day (which was super helpful, in case that’s an option).I also appreciated the really nice permanent (accessible) restrooms — ie no rental of porta potty! GVR also has tables and chairs for up to 150 people, so another thing you don’t have to worry about!I loved GVR and all our guests LOVED the space. It was such a beautiful day.?️ Also shoutout to our caterer Belfare (Erik Lowe) who did an amazing job with the food (guests raved about it)!

This place was open but an event was going on inside when we arrived. It’s a great spot to hold weddings and other events. So calm, serene and beautiful. Roses were everywhere! The pond was so peaceful with a buddha statute and a tiny foot over bridge. Would love to visit again and explore more!

Stayed here one night through AirBnB and it was wonderfully tranquil. I spent a happy afternoon snapping pictures of flowers and wandering around to meet the animals (a poodle, hens, and three very loud goats). Downtown is 12 minutes away and there is a strawberry farm nearby. In the morning, you can forage for flowers with pruner and gloves provided, so you get to take some beautiful flowers home.
