About the Hotel

A 10,000-acre working cattle ranch in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, the Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort since 1946 has been a treasured hideaway. This inspired retreat just outside Santa Barbara features splendid ranch-style accommodations made even more sumptuous with soaring beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces and charming covered porches. With the ranch's elegant cowboy atmosphere, you'll be instantly transported to the Wild West--yet you'll adore the modern amenities that include horseback trail rides and unlimited golf on a pair of championship 18-holf courses.

Unwind at Alisal Ranch

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

There's so much to do at Alisal. We had a great time. It's really family friendly too. The food was great. We loved the horseback breakfast ride. That was a highlight for sure. It's easy to get around to all of the activities on the ranch. The staff was fantastic!

Magical Family experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This was such an amazing experience. Beautiful April sun-shine and weather. We will be back!!! Sometime after we booked the stay, the concierge reached out and was able to provide out activity itinerary. The check in was easy and we were honestly pleasantly surprised that we were given real keys to out lodging. The lodging was amazing. Clean and spacious 1-bedroom suite, bunk beds for our teenagera in the living area. Cute little fire place. The entire facility was beautiful and well maintained. Other than the lake the resort was an easy walk. Highly recommend the e-bike to tour the mountain. The horse back riding was good for us beginners. The lake side activity was so much fun.

Unforgettable Vacation!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Our family recently stayed at Alisal Ranch, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, even allowing us to check in early—which was a huge help with a toddler in tow. The accommodations were perfect for our family. We were especially impressed that they provided a full-sized crib for our little one, making our stay so much more comfortable. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered for families traveling with young children. The meals were absolutely fantastic, with delicious options for both kids and adults. Speaking of kids, Alisal Ranch goes above and beyond to be family-friendly—our toddler adored the barnyard, arts and crafts, and, of course, the pool. There was never a dull moment, and we loved watching her experience so much joy. My husband also took a private tennis lesson during our stay and had an incredible experience. He came back raving about how much he learned and how great the coaching was. This was our first stay at Alisal Ranch, but it definitely won’t be our last. We’re already looking forward to coming back and making even more wonderful memories. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone looking for a warm, welcoming getaway!

Great experience!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

I knew our trip was a success when my son told me I had knocked it out of the park by choosing Alisal. All of the staff made us feel completely at home here even with a large group of kids. The food, lodging and activities were all amazing. The ranch is beautiful and we loved hiking, horseback riding. fishing at the lake, or just sitting by the pool (and the soft serve ice cream there was also a big hit). Great memories!
