Trade the weekday rush for wide-open spaces.

Some seasons ask you to do more. This one invites you to do less.

Fall and winter bring a quieter rhythm to Alisal Ranch, with crisp mornings, golden hills, horseback rides and evenings spent beside the fire. It is a time to linger over breakfast, breathe a little deeper and reconnect with the people who matter most.

Escape midweek and enjoy 25% savings this October through January.

A collection of Fireside Favorites will also be waiting in your cottage, thoughtfully chosen to make your time at the ranch feel even more restorative.

With 10,500 acres to explore and nowhere you need to be, consider this your invitation to slow down, settle in and remember what unhurried feels like.

Offer valid on select Sunday through Thursday stays this fall and winter for new reservations only. Excludes holidays and blackout dates. A two-night minimum stay is required. Restrictions may apply.
