Hacienda de las Rosas Animal Sanctuary and Farm Experience

Welcome to Hacienda de las Rosas! We are a husband and wife team (and parents of 2 teenagers), who are new to farming! We grew up in a large city and had dreams of owning a place where we could welcome friends, family, & maybe even some farm animals! When we first saw our place, we fell in love with the roses and the views. As parents, our only regret is not being able to do this when our kids were younger. Now we would love to share our 5-acre farm with you!. Come learn farm life with us!
We believe our place is truly special!! Our farm is 35 minutes from Sequoia National park. We are located on a beautiful 5-acre farm surrounded by olive, citrus, and walnut trees. You will enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and the farm. The walking trails to Kaweah River are just what you need!

We live in the main house on the farm. The Casita is a separate detached house and 1440 sq. feet. The Farmstay has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a full kitchen, 2 dedicated workspaces (perfect remote working and distancing learning for students) a laundry room with a washer and dryer. We have high-speed internet (25 upload & 5 download) for streaming and zooming. We also have many streaming apps- Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Hulu, and Discovery+.
This farm-stay is perfect for a romantic getaway, girls’ trip, baby moon, anniversary getaway, trip to the Sequoia National Park, family trip, etc.

The Casita is newly renovated to help our guests feel comfortable while enjoying all the workings of a modern farm. The backyard is an extension of the Casita; the barn is a perfect picture spot!!

This farm stay is interactive. Come help us feed goats, sheep and horses. Take our dogs for a walk to the river. Brush our horses and help us keep their stalls clean.
