Situated in the Cholame Valley, the V6 Ranch rests in the heart of central California in the town of Parkfield. This location is convenient to all of the cities in the San Joaquin Valley. It’s also only around 4 hours from San Francisco to the north or from Los Angeles to the south, so it’s genuinely right in the middle of it all.
Once you arrive, you will recognize just how far away you really are from everything. V6 Ranch is surrounded on three sides by mountains and a gentle valley that slopes toward the southeast. Over 20,000 acres on the property highlight the rugged natural beauty of this region of California.
If you want to enjoy a long weekend on a dude ranch, V6 Ranch has you covered. Throughout the year, they offer four-day weekend trips that are all-inclusive, with meals provided by the Parkfield Cafe and accommodations by the Parkfield Lodge. V6 Ranch and the town of Parkfield have partnered up to provide a one-stop shop for an unforgettable dude ranch vacation.
There are other opportunities for adventure at V6 Ranch with an annual cattle drive, a camping trip to explore the thousands of acres available, and Cowboy Academy, a deep dive into improving your skills on horseback and with livestock. They’re quite popular for their short 3-day weekend dude ranch experiences that take you on trail rides and come with everything included.
