Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Tucked in the heart of rural Santa Margarita, this breathtaking 1,400 acre retreat exemplifies the relaxed elegance of the region, where sun-kissed hills and golden ranch lands are cooled by gentle coastal breezes. Though just a short 20-minute drive from San Luis Obispo, this central coast property feels like a private oasis made just for your celebration.
  • Relax all weekend in the stylish, inviting Ranch House, with its modern open-concept living areas, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, crystal-clear pool and outdoor entertaining areas, and cozy overnight guest rooms for twelve. The nearby Bunkhouse Suite and Airstreams offer additional space for the wedding parties to prepare, each with a prime view of the stunning surroundings. 
  • The two giant hat Grand Tipis are fun, festive, and practical, offering plenty of shade without blocking an inch of the spectacular views. From here, a wide path studded by bistro-lit iron arches leads to the beautiful ceremony site, where you'll say "I do" against a panorama that encompasses mature oak groves, rolling farmland, and forested mountains.
