Top Reasons To Stay

Historic Hotel

Established in 1875, Sierra Sky Ranch was the first working cattle ranch in the area and, at one time, the largest in the state of California. In the old days, the ranch supplied food for the logging camps at Sugar Pine and Soquel. During World War II, it served as a Rest and Recreation (R&R) Center for American servicemen.

Abundant Natural Beauty

Towering oaks, pine trees and a seasonal outdoor pool set the stage for a restful and relaxing stay in our gracious 100-year-old converted mountain ranch house. Because we are not located in the middle of town, guests can enjoy a simple, laid-back atmosphere.
