A New Spin on the Old West!
The “Old West” has never felt more alive than at Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort, California’s premier ranching experience! Located on a 10,000-acre working cattle ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, Alisal has been hosting families, couples, and groups since 1946. And, even after more than 60 years in business, horseback riding remains Alisal’s star attraction! Enjoy more than 50 miles of equestrian trails, including group rides, private rides, and breakfast rides to the historic Adobe Camp, not to mention lessons and even a rodeo. Once you’re done riding the trails, hit the links of one of two 18-hole championship golf courses, unwind in the 5,500-square-foot Alisal Fitness Center & Spa, do some angling in the spring-fed Alisal Lake, and let the kids get up-close-and-personal with the ponies and goats of the Alisal Barn Yard. Then, have a bite to eat in the distinguished Ranch Room before retiring to one of 73 ranch-themed guest rooms, many featuring high-beamed ceilings, Western art, and burning fireplaces. Plan your trip out West, today!
