Trails End Ranch

Trails End Ranch is a 53 acre "ranch" located in Webb Canyon north of Claremont, California. It was built in 1916 to be used as a hunting lodge for employees of Southern California Edison. Future owners used it as a private residence. The property consists of a main house converted into retreat space and a barn used for academic field activities. The house has a large central courtyard on one side and a veranda on the other side overlooking the property.  Both spaces can be used for retreats.
