Reset at the Ranch

Start the Year with Intention and Renewal

The start of a new year is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reset. After the hustle of daily life and the whirlwind of the holidays, carving out space to recharge your mind, body, and soul feels more necessary than ever. Alisal Ranch is a place where time slows down, distractions fade, and the natural world takes center stage—providing the ultimate setting for a meaningful reset.

Wellness isn’t a prescribed regimen—it’s found in the everyday magic of being present. Here, you’re invited to embrace simplicity, reconnect with nature, and rediscover yourself in the stillness and beauty of our 10,500-acre haven.

Immerse Yourself in Nature

The rolling hills, ancient oaks, and wide-open spaces of Alisal Ranch create a canvas of tranquility. Step outside your room and feel the crisp morning air as you sip coffee on your private porch. Wander along our private hiking trail, where each step invites mindfulness, and the sights and sounds of the land soothe your spirit. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of gold and rose, and let the peacefulness of the moment wash over you.

There’s a special kind of magic in gazing up at a starry sky far from city lights—one that reminds us of our connection to something larger than ourselves. At Alisal, the night sky becomes a quiet celebration of stillness, a perfect ending to a day spent in harmony with nature.

Experience the Healing Power of Horses

There’s something profoundly grounding about connecting with a horse. At Alisal, horseback riding is more than an activity; it’s a chance to find balance and presence. As you ride through our expansive trails, you’ll feel the rhythm of the horse beneath you, the soft rustle of the wind through the grass, and the gentle hum of wildlife in the distance. Horses teach us to be patient, to listen, and to stay in the moment—lessons that are deeply restorative for the soul.

Even simply spending time with these majestic animals can bring a sense of calm and connection, reminding us of the beauty and simplicity in the world around us.

Recharge Your Mind, Body, and Soul

Alisal Ranch invites you to unplug from the chaos of daily life and embrace the beauty of the present. With no TVs in the rooms and the quiet of nature all around, it’s a space where you can truly rest. Read by the glow of your private fireplace, take a leisurely stroll through our scenic trails, or let the serenity of the ranch inspire you to simply be.
