Dunlap is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California. It lies at an elevation of 1,919 ft. It has a population of 131. It is located approximately 38 miles east of Fresno. In the 1800s Dunlap was a rest stop for passengers of the stage coach and a location for a change of horses.St. Nicholas Ranch, a conference and retreat center run by the Greek Orthodox Church, is a major attraction. The Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Theotokos, the Life-Giving Spring is also located there. Prior to the acquisition of the land by the ranch and the monastery, the land was known as the Sally K Ranch with two of the old ranch dwellings now being occupied by the ranch manager and assigned clergy. On the ranch property itself, there is an old barn, totally constructed of redwood, with a chapel inside. Referred to as "The Barn Church" or "St. Nicolas Chapel" by locals, the chapel has a minimalist design, and is home to a colony of bats.
