The minute you leave the city of Goleta heading northward, you know you are in for a delightful change. Just about 15 minutes north you pull off the freeway and enter paradise. It's almost like going back in time. When life was slower, rustic, and filled with beautiful scenery. Your drive to the ranch takes you along rolling hills, trees,... More

I love coming up to the ranch for relaxing. I love hanging out in their great room on the sofa, it feels just like home! The staff up there always make you feel like you are at home and that nothing you request is a bother...they are more than happy to accommodate you! Being a business owner with things so... More

My 8 year old son and I stayed here for 4 nights over 2012 Thanksgiving weekend and we found this place to be a hidden gem!! Just first rate in every respect. I have travelled all over the world stayed at 5 star places. I have done many "dude ranch" type of stays including Alisal Ranch which is very near... More

I took my boyfriend here for his 50th birthday and he had a grin on his face for 4 straight days. Kathy up-graded us to a hillside homestead although it was just the two of us. We got a complete package, which included a 1/2 day ride and a hour massage for the two of us in our room with... More

We had our wedding at Circle Bar B Guest Ranch this past year and we could not have dreamed of a more amazing venue. Kathy, Henry, Pat and the rest of the Circle BB staff, all the cowboys, and whole Brown Family were absolutely phenomenal hosts and went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver us the absolute...

This is not a dude ranch. Plain hotel room at resort prices, no amenities. For extra you can ride a horse for an hour and a half - boring ride by the way. Foolish expense and poorly run. Not much of a property - no hiking trails, nothing.

Great accommodations, very pleasant staff, abundant wonderful food, beautiful setting and amenities galore. Who could ask for anything more? Pool, hot tub, horses, game room with pool and ping pong tables and the weekend barbeque and theater are extra special treats. It is right next to Refugio beach and Santa Barbara. The rooms are spacious and have couches, large beds,... More

We are lovers of the dusty, oak-covered hills common in the central California area so I knew in advance that we would love this location, deep in a canyon near Gaviota Pass. The re-built lodge and rooms (in the last decade) exceeded expectations with their beauty and detail, while retaining the guest ranch feel of the past. We took a... More

The cabins are not fancy but very comfortable and clean. Our cabin even had a fireplace. The horseback rides were up rocky trails, over trickling streams, and up to 2000 feet overlooking he ocean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Being family-owned, the last people you see at night are the same ones you see in the mornings busily getting... More
