"A Vision Quest Safari" style Bed & Breakfast

Picture

A Dream...

Picture

Becomes a reality...

 IN 2001, the Vision Quest Ranch is offering a "different" means of over-nighting in the Monterey area.

Listen to the lions and tigers roaring only yards from your canvas walled hotel suite. Each African tent style bungalow is creatively decorated and equipped with comfortable furniture and complete bathroom facilities. Wake to a continental breakfast delivered to your tent by the staff and one of our African elephants.  In the afternoons, guests will enjoy visiting with the facility trainers on their evening walks with many of our Wild Things (weather and animal(s) permitting).

Rates: $225+tax nightly double occupancy on Monday thru Thursday and Sunday nights and $255 +tax nightly double occupancy on Friday and Saturday nights. * Winter Rates:  Dec.1st thru Mar. 31st $195+tax nightly double occupancy Monday thru Thursday and Sunday nights and $225+tax nightly double occupancy Friday and Saturday nights. Our bungalows accommodate two people very comfortably. Two of our bungalows (Giraffe Manor and Pachyderm Palace) have full size futon sleepers and can accommodate three people . There is a $50 additional fee for a third person.

Giraffe Manor is completely wheel chair accessible. Due to the "nature" of the animals visiting the bungalows each morning and evening, service dogs are not allowed in the bungalow area (it simply isn't safe for them or our animals) but complimentary boarding is available to those special animals at our pet boarding facility while their caregivers are at their bungalows.

Want to totally enhance your experience? Special discounts are available for those wishing to purchase VIP Tour or "Walk with the Animals" packages.  Be sure to check out our new Pachyderm Package and Elephant Bedtime Package also. Students in our "Animal Training Course" can stay in our B&B throughout their course at a discounted rate of $125.00 per night single occupancy and $150.00 per night double occupancy. We guarantee this to be an overnight experience you'll find nowhere else (other than Africa).

(* Winter rates do not apply to Holiday or Special Events days ~ VQR B&B is an adults only facility)

"Giraffe Manor"

Each tent is unique in decor to make each stay at Wild Things a different experience. Choose from such interiors as "Giraffe Manor", the "Zebra Zone", the "Pachyderm Palace" or the "Cat House". Click here to see our other interior designs...

Giraffe Manor is completely wheel chair accessible. Due to the "nature" of the animals visiting the bungalows each morning and evening, service dogs are not allowed in the bungalow area (it simply isn't safe for them or our animals) but complimentary boarding is available to those special animals at our dog boarding facility while their caregivers are at their bungalows.

You'll be just minutes from several of Monterey's finest restaurants, Cannery Row, Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, the 17 Mile Drive, Laguna Seca Raceway, and much more. We are also minutes from some of Monterey County's biggest events to include the Salinas Rodeo, the Salinas International Air show, Cherry's Jubilee Car Show, the Pebble Beach Concourse, the Concorso Italiano, the Pebble Beach Golf tournaments, and more. * For those auto enthusiasts, our facility is paved in a fashion which will allow you to enjoy our B&B without ever having to drive your special automobile off pavement. The entire facility is protected within a gated community, all it's own.

Our Ranch is completely paved to eliminate your having to drive your vehicle on dirt or gravel roads however, Bungalow 1 (Big Cat House) does have a gravel road that will enable you to park much closer to this bungalow than the parking area. All others bungalows have paved parking close to the bungalow so if you are adverse to driving off pavement or walking approx. 50 yards to get to you bungalow, you might want to select a bungalow other than #1.

Due to the nature of our property and the animals housed there, our B&B is currently available to adults only. This is to ensure the health and safety of your  loved ones and ours.

Gift Certificates available. IMAGINE giving your loved one a SAFARI for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation or Christmas gift... The perfect gift for the animal lover in your life!!!

Special Thanks- to the following people and companies for helping make this project materialize. They did in fact recognize the nature of our project and took very special care of us! We would hope that our local fans might consider these people for their construction needs.
