 Enjoy a Restful Stay at Seven Sycamores
The Homestead
This attractive, three bedroom is nestled among the orange and mandarin groves of McKellar Farms. Remodeled in the fall of 2007, the house has central heating and air conditioning, direct TV, full kitchen, wireless internet access, washer and dryer, sunroom, and much more. Decorated with original Albert Marshall paintings of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the 8 room house is well furnished and comfortable, with a big back porch and pleasant patio looking over the landscaped grounds.
 Most of the native plants and trees are identified with signs, and guests are free to wander through the orchards and pick fresh fruit to eat at any time. The area is abundant with wildlife, birds, and flowers. Guests may request a free tour of the citrus groves, including a demonstration of the equipment and packing facilities.
 Most of our guests are busy enjoying the huge variety of activities in the area, but are welcome to just cozy in at the ranch and enjoy a good book and walk around the grounds.

Comforts of Home
We provide guests with a well-stocked pantry and refrigerator including whatever they want for breakfast (ordered during the reservation process) and a generous supply of fruit in season. This is, in the tradition of the ranch, a do-it-yourself operation. We do not cook, make beds, etc. during your stay. (We do clean thoroughly between guests, but during your stay, the housekeeping is up to you.) The master bedroom has a queen bed. A bath with tub adjoins the master bedroom. The front bedroom has twin beds, and the back bedroom has a queen bed. There is a bathroom with tub and shower located between these two rooms. There is also a hide-a-bed in the living room, bringing the total sleeping accommodations to 8 persons.
 The Bunkhouse
A smaller house just a few steps behind the homestead, the bunkhouse has two  rooms, with a queen bed and two stacked bunks. It has a bath with shower, microwave oven, a mini-refrigerator, electric heat and air conditioning. The bunkhouse was also renovated in the fall of 2007. It was once owner Bob McKellar's home when the family outgrew the homestead.
Native Adobe Buildings
The other buildings adjacent to the houses are made of native adobe clay by Hugh McKellar, the founder, and house a garage, walk-in cooler/storage room for fruits and vegetables, and a "wash house" built over the original cistern. The sidewalks are made of hand-hewn granite stones carried down from the Sierra Nevada mountains, and laid by McKellar when he created his ranch home. Five of the original seven sycamores still shade the property, joined by two newer trees upholding the ranch tradition.
