Mid Century Western Roadside Motel in Small Town California

This is a timeless roadside resort in the heart of California’s high desert within Santa Barbara County, where community, locally-inspired food, and artistry flourish. Our iconic property was originally built in 1952 as the community hub for the valley of Cuyama, at a time when New Cuyama was a booming oil town. More than 60 years later, Cuyama Buckhorn has transformed into a sophisticated boutique resort boasting historic mid-century meets Western vibes and luxurious modern amenities, nestled in the picturesque Hidden Valley of Enchantment. Our iconic property was originally built in 1952 at a time when our dining room sung with live piano music, our bar bustled with games and activity, and our pool was enjoyed by travelers soaking in the desert sun. We’re bringing these glory days back with our new, glistening pool to splash into, a jacuzzi to warm up in on cool desert nights, a sauna to take in our amazing sunsets and plenty of event & gathering spaces to celebrate the beauty of The Enchanted Valley.
