A Legendary Hideaway

San Ysidro Ranch has provided a tranquil vacation destination for discriminating travelers since 1893.
This Santa Barbara hideaway has drawn many notable guests over the years with a flawless blend of natural beauty, romantic heritage, and classic luxury. Myth and history mingle in the lush gardens as hummingbirds and honeybees offer a gentle score of serenity across 550 acres.

Relax in vine-covered cottages with cozy fireplaces, private patios, oversized sunken spas, and outdoor rain showers tucked away in ultimate seclusion over-looking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands from the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Adventure awaits in those same foothills, with miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, and inspirational views.
