Cozy, efficient, dog-perfect and cost effective
5/5 Quiet, clean, with beautiful landscape and dark nights. Hiking was close and the restaurants were universally great.
The host was attentive and friendly - thanks Lanea for turning us on to your steaks.
We will be back!

Manager's Response:
Thank you so much for staying with Podunk's Ranch and for your kind compliments. Yellow jacket has a place in my heart. My mother grew up there and I spent a lot of my youth with my grandparents in Yellow Jacket. I am grateful you chose us for your stay.
Peaceful Podunk's
5/5 We had an amazing stay. This is the third time we have visited Podunk's so obviously we love it here. Our host is consistently available and helpful should we need her. We feel right at home, have everything we could possibly want or need in the home. We enjoy privacy and peace and have minimal travel to town. We enjoy the views and the livestock close by. We will definitely visit again and recommend this property and host to all travelers regardless of the nature of your travel. You will find it effortless to have the peace and comfort of a home when you stay here!
Perfect peaceful retreat
5/5 Stayed here with my husband and 10-year-old kiddo. This is such a beautiful part of town. Wonderful little ranch with beautiful views. All the beds were super comfortable. Slept so well. Plenty of space for the three of us. Close to everything. We even met the owner on the way out and she was absolutely delightful. Warm and friendly. The pictures just don’t do it justice. Absolutely loved our stay here. Highly recommend.
