The place is truly magical and exudes authenticity! Nestled in isolation, the ranch offers a serene and peaceful retreat. The staff welcomed us warmly, making our stay even more delightful. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to relax, disconnect from the fast-paced world, and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, surrounded by horses in a stunning environment.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch. A fun family area as well as a large variety of adult offerings.

    A clean and comfortable place walking distance from the beach. The main city center of Santa Barbara is about a 15 minutes walk away. Breakfast was very simple. Parking was also included in the room rate. Also enjoyed the layout of the Hotel with a comfortable community area to sit outside and socialize.

    I liked this hotel. The city of Santa Barbara is such a delight and this hotel was in a central location on State Street, around 5-10 mins walk from the main drag. It’s not a cheap city to stay in and I was impressed with the value of this place. Friendly staff and a clean room with all that you’d need.
