Our Property

Purchased in 2006 , Cuyama Oaks Ranch is 82 acres with majestic 360 degree mountain views and vast canyons for hiking and trail access all over the valley. Near many trail heads and outdoor activities, promises a high desert getaway. During the spring and summer months, the smell of wildflowers fill the air. Nestled in the shadow of the Los Padres Mountains and located deep within the hidden valley of enchantment, this ranch gives the visitor the high-desert experience of their dreams. We pride ourselves on our safe space for LGBTQIA people, but all are welcome. For the hikers and explorers out there, the ranch offers trails on the property and advice on local trail heads within 10 miles. The ranch is completely private and secluded, off HWY 166.

Our Story

Ricky and Nate met in Ventura and always looked for a new adventure or project. The pandemic brought us a unique opportunity to make a special LGBTQIA getaway during the time of limited options. Since then, we have grown exponentially and have formed a wholesome family environment but can also be a place to party. We have been at the forefront of tourism in the Hidden Valley of Enchantment. Starting with camping up to “Glamping” yurts and fully stocked petting zoo, Cuyama Oaks Ranch, promises to give you and your family an experience to remember.

“"Now I see the secret of making the best person, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."
