San Ysidro Ranch

San Ysidro Ranch is the most exclusive hotel on the Santa Barbara coast, where Jackie O. and John F. Kennedy spent their honeymoon. The ranch has horseback riding on their private trails and a swimming pool where you never need to worry about having a wet towel. There are two restaurants - Stonehouse and the Plow and Angel. The hotel offers mostly private bungalows that run upwards of $400 per night during the winter.
The ranch is not on the beach, but rather in the Montecito foothills. The property covers 500 acres of trails, but the bungalos and restaurants are all centrally located.
Don''t expect to meet the rich and famous here. People visit the ranch to get away from the Paparazzi. They may not be as open as when you see them in town.
