Description
Rolff and Laura live on 17 acres in beautiful Clements, California in the middle of wine country. We are located 2 hours from the ocean, 2 hours from Yosemite and 2 hours from Lake Tahoe. Perfect location for the person who is looking for a base in the middle of all the epic adventures California has to offer! Rolff and Laura enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking and horseback riding.
Here you will have your own room in a large guest house surrounded by serenity. You will either have a private bathroom or semi-private bathroom depending upon who else is staying. We would like help with gardening, landscaping, ranch help, fencing and housework. We are not a business and have a small garden for personal consumption.

Our ranch is perfectly located to be used as a base to come and go to some amazing parts of California. We are great for a resource to help network with people who can show you around as well. We are also a very safe, quiet and clean place to stay.
