The rooms at Alisal have a modern updated ranch design, complete with fireplaces, wool blankets and apple pie as a welcome gift. The only thing missing: televisions. The common living room is the one area on the ranch with a tv.

The horses taking a break during breakfast
If you join a morning ride, you’ll hitch up your horse while you eat breakfast. Here, there are fifty horses waiting for you to finish!
Mini horses at Alisal Guest Ranch
Besides horseback riding, your family can visit the small farm on the property to learn about the mini-horses, the ranch turtle and the adorable fat pigs.
Breakfast on the ranch
Breakfast on the ranch looks like this: manhole sized pancakes and lots of meat. You work up quite the appetite on your horseback rides.
Talking chickens at the farm
The farm has many animals with multiple personalities. While these chickens couldn’t actually talk, they were very loud and expressive.
Saying goodbye to the horses
The horses are always close by no matter where you are on the ranch. Before you depart Alisal, make sure to give the horses a final thanks for a week worth of riding. Are one week, you’ll want to make this a yearly family trip.
