Amazing Culinary Experience!

I was thoroughly impressed by the dining experience at Alisal. The food was absolutely amazing with a plethora of choices available! I especially loved the tortilla soup and the Yeehaw cake, both were out-of-this-world delicious! Every meal was meticulously prepared and served, making it a highlight of our stay.

Perfect for Kids!

My kids had an absolute blast during our stay! They loved the petting farm where they could interact with bunnies and pigs. There were also numerous activities to keep them entertained, like the ropes course and fishing at the dedicated lake. Overall, it was a fantastic environment for children to freely explore and make new friends.

Tons of Activities!

The range of activities available at Alisal is very nice! I particularly enjoyed the horseback riding adventures. We went on a beautiful breakfast ride to the Old Adobe, where we enjoyed a lovely meal in the great outdoors. The trails were scenic and well-maintained, making for an enjoyable riding experience.

However, the heat was a bit much during my mid-July visit, which might not suit everyone. Overall, it was a memorable experience and I would love to return.

I had a mixed experience at the Alisal Guest Ranch. While I appreciated the charming setting and array of outdoor activities, the accommodations left much to be desired. The absence of air conditioning and limited amenities made it difficult to truly relax. On the other hand, the tranquil atmosphere and friendly staff added to the experience. Overall, it was a blend of beautiful nature and some drawbacks. 🌳👢
