FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What are your operating hours?

A: We are open Saturdays 9-5 and Sundays 1-5 pm.

Q: Why are you only open weekends?

A: We want to offer the best and most meaningful service we can to our clients while still being respectful of our bandwidth.

Q: Why is the Cottage only available on weekends?

A. We want to give you the best service as possible, and opening the ranch on weekends to guests means we can retain the romantic, exclusive nature of the ranch while still giving you the dedicated time to have the additional services you want.

Q: How far in advance do we need to book the cottage?

A: The cottage is available only ~ 40 weekends over the course of a year, and tends to book up months in advance.

Q: Can I have a tour of the ranch?

A: No, we do not offer tours. We are also by appointment only and on a restricted private road, and cannot accommodate people stopping by without an appointment.

Q: How do I book in with you?

A: There are 2 ways. You can book the cottage through VRBO (the address is on the cottage page) and then book the individual add ons (Reiki, Sound Therapy, Mindfulness with Horses) through the Rancho Paraíso de Sorrento Services page for your weekend stay. Alternatively, if you live locally, you can book individual services via the web page.

Q: Are you offering Corporate Retreats at this time?

A: We have decided for 2024 that we will not, since the goal of corporate retreats is a different dynamic than what the rest of our services offer. We will review this for 2025.

Q: Can I volunteer at your ranch?

A: No. Our insurance does not cover us to take volunteers, in addition it takes time to train volunteers around the horses, and we simply do not have the bandwidth.

Q: Can I have the address of the ranch?

A: After booking and payment, we will reach out to get any forms to you (intake form, release of liability, and to send directions/address). We live on a private road which is not open to the public and to protect privacy, we do not release the address before hand.

Q: Can we rent the ranch out for Weddings or Photo Shoots?

A: Please email us about this to see whether we can accommodate this.
