Spooner Ranch House

An absolute gem in Montaña De Oro State Park. Plenty of history, pictures, vintage items, and items for sale at this cute little home. The cashier was super friendly and had plenty of helpful information on the park and history. This is a beautiful home surrounded by beautiful scenery. Sit on the rocking chairs and relax. Take in the ocean air, go to the cove, walk the bluffs, and hike a trail. Well worth your time.

Lots of period furniture and pictures of ranch life. Cool saddles, and kitchen gadgets.

It’s extremely lovely up there and they have a very informative and wonderful little gift shop. Be sure to check out the video in theft wing of the house. There was a lot of history being made there back in the day.

Lovely, historic house to check out for free with a little shop at the front. Doesn’t sell any food or drink fyi; just clothing, toys and some cute books, etc.

Very informative and interesting tour. Family friendly and the tour guide is such a sweetie:) a lot of mini cows to find haha

Loved looking at how people lived and especially all the furnishings. The kitchen was my favorite.

Fascinating place! We really enjoyed touring the old Spooner Ranch House. The volunteer was very informative and this place has a lot of history. The house itself is lovely and the property surrounding is gorgeous. They even have a scavenger hunt for the kids to search for all the mini cow figures scattered about the house as you tour. It was a lot of fun finding all of the cows. It's a very neat place to visit if you're enjoying Montana De Oro.

Closed, even during Open hours — multiple people excited to visit walked up only to find the door locked 😞 The Ranger who exited the building (and locked up behind himself) says that unpaid volunteers staff the House (not Park employees), and that the current hours and days they are actually open are unreliable and not accurately reflected here on Google Anyone reading this review can suggest an edit to the location's hours, so it would be helpful if someone from Spooner Ranch House would take ownership of this and change the listing to reflect current staffing realities
