I came to Alisal for my 50th birthday and can I just say it will be one of my favorite places I’ve been to in a really long time! The moment you enter onto the ranch you know immediately you aren’t ever going to want to leave! The staff is amazing and the rooms were just perfect! There was no detail left unnoticed. We as a family have decided we want to make it a yearly tradition to go back again! Both adults and kids had so much fun..from our horse back rides, the pancake breakfast, to happy hour at one of the bars, the list goes on and on! Thank you Alisal for making my birthday so special! xoxo ~Danielle

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Alisal Ranch! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Horseback riding was a highlight—beautiful trails, well-cared-for horses, and knowledgeable guides who made the experience unforgettable. The archery and air rifle class was so much fun (a perfect mix of challenge and excitement), and the guacamole class was a unique and delicious treat. Chef Daniel was so great and that margaritas that Ian made paired perfectly with the guac! What really set the trip apart was the staff—personable, professional, and genuinely outstanding in every way. Their warmth and attention to detail made us feel welcome throughout our stay. This was a truly memorable trip that we’ll be talking about for years to come. We can’t wait to return!

Absolutely gorgeous ranch. Great service and delicious food. Had an amazing time on our trail ride to the chuck wagon breakfast, as well as doing archery, air rifles and axe throwing. Will definitely try to go back.

From the very first call, Victoria at Alisal Ranch set the tone for what’s going to be a special family getaway. She wasn’t just efficient with our reservations—she was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to get to know me and my family. That kind of personal care is rare, and it made us feel like more than just guests on a list. Victoria answered every question with patience and insight, offered thoughtful suggestions tailored to our family, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. She left us excited not only about the ranch itself, but about the people behind it. If the level of service from Victoria is any indication of what’s to come, Alisal Ranch is truly in a class of its own. Grateful for her care and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Went to Alisal for a 3 night girls getaway. I'm not sure we will return. It was fantastic in so many ways, but wasn't quite our style. With kids 6 and under being free - there were a lot of them. And we were a group of 45-75yr olds. Also - I guess it's only a 2 hour drive from LA, so that made the "upscale" pricing that we were expecting top notch from, not quite as impressive since LA pricing is higher. Though the massages were great, they were very overpriced. Rooms needed A LOT of sound proofing (with that many kids there, it was probably rare to have a room without kids next to you). (Maybe separating out a section of the resort for families from adults for future bookings??) The hay ride - well not sure I would call it that with one bale under a blanket in the middle of the back of the truck. Food was FANTASTIC for everything we had- inside, outside, BBQ, Adobe. Micheal, one of the guys that drove us to town and helped with bags, was so sweet and helpful! Overall it was a very nice trip, just not quite to the upscale we were looking for based on the pricing and advertising.
