V6 Ranch

The V6 Ranch offers over 50 scenic miles of trails to explore with maps and trail markers to show the way. The ranch also offers hiking, photography, over 200 varieties of wildflowers, wildlife, and bird watching.

The tiny town of Parkfield is home to the award-winning Parkfield Cafe. The Cafe serves scrumptious steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. All of our burgers and steaks are cooked over an oak BBQ pit and are proudly served with local fresh baked bread from Brian’s Artisan Bread Co. 

The Parkfield Cafe and Varian Family cater all of the meals for our trail ride and cattle drive groups. For these groups we serve up home cooking at its finest; steaks, enchiladas, casseroles, fresh salads, and apple dumplings and more.

Parkfield Lodge:

The Parkfield Lodge offers ten of one-of-a-kind cozy rooms, including the 100+-year-old Parkfield Post Office and Water Tower, and the luxurious Cowboy Cabin. The main lodge was built in 1991 by John Varian and his ranch crew. It is constructed with logs and an extensive use of up-cycled materials, ranging from grain silo redwood doors, maple flooring from a WWII USO building, to oak railroad tie porches, and potato harvester chain fences. Everywhere you look you will notice tastefully repurposed materials that reflect beauty and nostalgia. All rooms have full modern amenities that include wifi, satellite TV, refrigerator, coffee maker, air conditioning/heating, tub/showers, with a full complement of toiletries including juniper soap made from wild juniper harvested on the V6 Ranch. The lodge also has a firepit, pool, hot tub, ping pong table and spacious grass areas exclusively for guests.
