The wranglers leading the horse back ride were great.

It was so pleasant and perfect for what we were looking for!

Meals provided were great. Location was ideal for a complete getaway, limited tv, unplugged and off the grid. Trail riding was beautiful and scenic. All personnel were kind and courteous the entire time. Special thanks to Kathy, Leslie, Julio and my guide Nick.

Cathy and her staff are absolutely the best! They were friendly and accommodating. We didn't feel like guest, we felt like part of the family!

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great location and lovely property. Lots of activities, including the kids. Trail ride as super fun and felt very safe. Loved the guides! Dinner was delicious!

It’s like no place Ive ever been, the peace and quiet, the staff , horses and food and very comfortable bed, all of it was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave! Really loved it.

Beautiful location! We loved it all - the ranch, the horses, the accommodation, and wonderful meals. Also, the staff was very nice and friendly.

We dud a morning ride, the horses where great and the guide funny. Again the staff, they treated us like family.

The experience was as advertised. The staff was very friendly and accommodating of any need or request. The dinner they served was good. Not having cell or internet service is great. You're actually spending time together as opposed to just being in the same place. The proximity to Santa Barbara was great as we got to spend time there enjoying the restaurants and wine tasting rooms. We definitely will go back.

Breakfast and dinner were great. The facilities were beautiful. The views and the serenity were amazing.
