Wicky Up Ranch
Bed and Breakfast

Wicky Up Ranch Bed and Breakfast is a working organic orange farm located in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, near the gate to the giant of Sequoia National Park in Woodlake, California. This authentic, two-story, turn-of-the-century home was featured in the Travel Section of the San Francisco Chronicle, the California Heartland PBS Series and recommended by Sunset Magazine.

Sit on the veranda listening to the sounds of water fountains and birds singing, rest on a hammock under the majestic live oak tree to watch the sunset and at dusk, relax on a loveseat alongside the fish pond as the garden comes alive with tiny white lights for an truly enchanting evening. In cooler months, imagine yourself with a good book by the crackling fire or sitting on the sunset deck in front of a wood-burning stove, surrounded by little white lights and cooing doves. Everything about the ranch enhances relaxation and rejuvenation.

The guest accommodations, created to be cozy and inviting, feature comfortable and vintage country furnishings. A 1 or 2-bedroom suite or Garden Cottage are furnished with hand-ironed linens, several types of pillows, down comforters, fluffy robes and hair dryers - just some of the amenities you can expect. The Juliana Suite is a two bedroom suite that can be reserved together or just one room at a time. The Garden Cottage has a bunk bed with a twin upper and full lower bed. A small, inside half-bath is convenient; and, just by the cottage door in the garden, guests will discover a discrete, enclosed outdoor shower. Choose your time of day for an "al fresco" shower, by the light of the morning sun or under the magic spell of the rising moon.

For the ultimate in relaxation, you may arrange to have a professional massage in the privacy of your room.

This family owned ranch offers a unique farm stay experience in a gracious 1902 California Craftsman style home built by Illinois State Senator Fred E. Harding. Guest tours serve to review family history and provide detail on the antiques, paintings and Oriental rugs which have been passed down to the hosts, fourth generation descendants of Senator Harding.

Start each day with a generous candlelight breakfast of delicious treats that include fresh-squeezed orange juice and grapefruit from the citrus ranch; a variety of locally grown fruits in season; home-baked muffins or breads; hot tea, including herbal, and coffee made from coffee beans ground each morning. The breakfast changes daily and includes a variety of memorable, gourmet entrees. Delicious dishes are made from eggs that were laid by free-range hens from a local farm.

Off the ranch, see the Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, home to giants trees that are hundreds of years old. Other attractions include the Squaw Valley Herb Garden, The Doll Nest, the Sierra Endangered Cat Haven and three Sisters Farmstead Cheese with visitor center, dairy tours and cheese tastings. Golfers will love playing at Sawtooth on the St. John's while antique lovers will delight in the nearby shops.
