San Ysidro Ranch Review

At this romantic hideaway on an historic property in the Montecito foothills—where John and Jackie Kennedy spent their honeymoon and Oprah sends her out-of-town visitors—guest cottages are scattered among groves of orange trees and flower beds. All have down comforters and fireplaces, most have private outdoor spas, and one has its own pool. Seventeen miles of hiking trails crisscross 500 acres of open space surrounding the property. The Stonehouse restaurant ($$-$$$$) and Plow & Angel Bistro ($-$$$) are Santa Barbara institutions.
