Tucked away on 5.5 scenic acres in Oak Glen, The Homestead at Wilshire Ranch is surrounded by the beauty of Wilshire Peak and the San Bernardino Mountains. Towering oaks, sweeping sycamores, heirloom apple trees, and a blooming lilac field bring natural elegance to the grounds. Overlooking the quiet valley below, the property offers a peaceful, open-air setting that feels both timeless and refreshingly romantic.

"Everything was perfect and the team they have there at the HomeStead are so supportive and friendly and they made the day something I couldn't have even begun to dream about. If you're thinking about booking here, seriously take a tour and see everything they have to offer it took me less than 5 minutes to decide this was the place and they exceeded every expectation."

Meet the HomeStead
Rooted in history and rich with charm, The Homestead carries stories that span generations. More than a hundred years ago, Blackie Wilshire and his spirited family made this glen their home. Today, pieces of that original homestead still stand thoughtfully woven into the experience we offer, where each celebration adds a new chapter to this ever-growing love story.
