Our recent stay at Alisal Ranch was an extraordinary experience, where serene peaceful beauty and understated luxury meets unparalleled service. Right from the start, William, the Director of Front Office, ensured our welcome and checkin was seamless, setting our stay up with high standard for hospitality.

The exceptional service extended to every part of our stay, including our fabulous arrival experience facilitated by the bellman, Justin. His professionalism and warmth made us feel right at home.

In the dining area, servers Abe and Marcos impressed us with their attentive service, and the genuine warmth from Ray and lovely greeting from Gerardo further enriched our visit. Each interaction was a testament to the staff's dedication to making our stay memorable.

The inspiration of the leadership of Kathleen Cochran is quite evident, as her influence is clear in the team’s commitment to ensuring every guest feels exceptionally valued.

Our two-night stay was an absolute dream! We are so deeply grateful for the memories and very eagerly anticipate our return to this remarkable resort.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay truly unforgettable.

We stayed at Alisal Ranch because it was my daughter's wedding venue. We are generally not very interested in the western theme but we had a great time! The grounds are beautiful and the property is huge. They have spectacular views that reminded me of the rolling hills of Tuscany (think of cows and live oaks instead of houses and italian cypresses. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The horseback riding activities seemed well executed and organized.
