San Ysidro Ranch:
Tucked away in the hills above Montecito, this property feels removed from the coastline while still overlooking the Channel Islands.
The grounds are lush and established, with pathways, gardens and individual cottages spread across the estate. As a result, it feels more like a private residence than a traditional hotel.
It works well for weddings in California where couples want a quieter, more residential feel with both indoor and outdoor options.
Accommodation
The ranch offers a collection of private cottages, each set within gardens and designed with a traditional, residential style.
This allows guests to stay on-site while maintaining space and privacy across the property.
