Queensland Vineyard

2/6/2015

 
Family owned and operated, the Queensland Vineyard Bed & Breakfast is located on the Bill Hartman Ranch, a working alfalfa farm supplying hay to the California dairies. Eight varieties of wine grapes are grown in the vineyard and four varieties of lavender line the garden. Each of these new crops is expanding the possibilities for local growers. All three guest rooms carry a winery/wine region theme — Martenay, Riesling and Sangiovese, and if you’re lucky to be around during harvest time, you’ll get in on a special tasting.

Number of rooms: 3

Established: 2013

History: Part of the Hartman family’s working alfalfa ranch deep in Nevada’s desert highlands, in the shadow of the majestic White Mountains near the California border.

Type of food served: Hearty full breakfast including famous buttermilk waffles, eggs, bacon, fruit, cereals, coffee and tea. Everything is sourced locally. Dinner reservations can be arranged in advance.

Unique Setting: The Fish Lake Valley, very remote and pure Nevada, with every season in play including the occasional winter snowstorm. It’s only a 90-minute drive to famed Mammoth Ski Resort and five hours to Los Angeles via highways 14 and 395. And it’s the only B&B in Nevada with a working vineyard on property;  planted in 2009 the first harvest was in 2012. After a test plot of eight different varieties — Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese and Mourvedre, the main grower and owners’ son, Mark Hartman, has added some Trebbiano vines. In 2014 he added 600 Riesling vines, and began shipping grapes to Pahrump Valley Winery in southern Nevada for crushing and winemaking. They’re getting great results thanks to a Napa-like temperature variance at 5,000 feet elevation and dry desert air.

Rates: $125 per night

Weddings or meetings: The Queensland Vineyard Bed and Breakfast and the Father’s House are available to host farm-style weddings, family reunions and other events from late spring to early autumn.  Catering with deep-pit BBQ and even fireworks displays can be arranged by appointment.

Popular nearby attractions: Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs, about 20 miles north, offers a large-volume well; 105-degree water is piped into a large concrete pool that overflows into several lukewarm ponds. To the west the White Mountains — the driest mountains in the United States — boast Boundary Peak at 13,146 feet, Nevada's highest, and White Mountain Peak at 14,244 feet, the third-highest mountain in California. Other must-sees include Horsethief Canyon with panoramic views of the plains and mountains on a pathway between Eureka Valley and Fish Lake Valley; Gold Point Ghost Town, founded in 1868 and now reconstructed as it once was; and Goldfield, Nevada, located in Esmeralda County, which re-creates a sense of what it was like to live in gold rush boomtown in early 20th century. There’s fishing at Trail Canyon Reservoir, 15 miles from Dyer. It’s stocked with 3,000 rainbow trout a couple of times a year, and there is no fee for use.

Pine Tree Inn & Bakery

2/6/2015

Comments

 
While the Utah border isn’t too far away, this desert-meets-mountain getaway spot is pure southern-central Nevada charm, just two and a half hours north of Las Vegas — a four-bedroom, five-bathroom B&B offering year-round accommodations. It’s casual, quiet and surrounded by stunning views and plenty of fresh air. All guest rooms offer a distinctive character, have private bathrooms and are handsomely furnished and decorated. There’s also a two-bedroom, one-bath cabin located on the same property. Many visitors come from Las Vegas, Utah, California and as far away as Europe. A great in-between point between the Utah parks and Grand Canyon or even Las Vegas. What makes Pine Tree Inn truly unique is the special-order bakery right within the B&B, whipping up pies, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and several varieties of bread.

Number of rooms: 4, plus a two-bedroom cabin

Established :2007

History: Pine Tree Inn is a family home that’s been renovated.

Type of food served: Each morning a traditional American full hot breakfast, plus fruit and pastrires, is served in the beautiful dining room.

Rates: $75-$95 per night

Weddings or meetings: Small business meetings are welcome. Cooking parties are a possibility in the main house.

Popular nearby attractions: This is Lincoln County, one of Nevada’s most unique stretches of landscape. Head a bit west toward Hiko and you’ll hit the “Extraterrestrial Highway,” the road to Area 51, where reported UFO sightings have led to speculation about a secret alien hiding place for decades. Keep your feet, and wheels, on the ground by hiking, cycling and four-wheeling the surrounding hills,  take a geo-caching tour, get into nature at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, scoping out various mining and ghost towns in the region. Also, check out the ATV trails near Caliente and visit the various state parks within an easy drive. Venture further afield and you’ll come to Great Basin National Park two hours to the north or several famous parks — Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon — a few hours to the east and south.

Years in business: 5

History: Alamo, Spanish for the poplar trees native to this part of Nevada, was rife with horse thieves in the 1860s who plundered stock in Utah and Arizona. After a quick respite in the valley, the rustlers and their horses would then make the long journey across the desert and into California. It’s been reported that at one point there were as many as 350 different brands in the valley at the same time. The town was established in 1901.

From the kitchen: Hearty, decadent fare is served for dinner, including entrees such as meat loaf, game hens and pork chops, excellent chowder, soup and salad, a wide variety of side dishes and famous desserts such as warm apple crisp.

Unique Setting: Truly remote, yet an easy drive from the bright lights of Vegas.

Rates: $229-$538 depending on season for single rooms | $1400-$2800 for Bunkhouse

Weddings or meetings: The house offers a Great Room, including a library, as well as a charming Bunk House where guests can socialize and unwind. There’s a dance hall and wedding pavilion for special events. The Business Center offers a conference room, computer workstation, high-speed internet access and audio-video capabilities.

Popular nearby attractions: Nearby lakes are stocked with fish, while hot springs and Native American artifacts are equally not to be missed. Alamo is also one of the closest inhabited places to the government installation known as Area 51 and the Extraterrestrial Highway which draw UFO enthusiasts from all walks of life.  The nearby Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge has over 5,000 acres of open wetlands and lush green grasslands and is home to dozens of bird species. One of Southern Nevada’s best golf courses, Coyote Springs, is a 45-minute drive south.
