Hilltop Guest Ranch is a 350-acre private ranch nestled in the countryside of the Santa Ynez Valley, offering an authentic blend of vintage charm and natural beauty. The property features a storybook pond perched on a bluff, giant old-growth cottonwood trees, lush year-round greenery nourished by the river that winds through the land, and sweeping 360° hilltop views. Painted horses, goats, sheep, and cows roam the pastures. Couples can exchange vows beside the pond, dine in the expansive 1-acre grass meadow, or celebrate inside the 2,800 sq. ft. Green Barn. With wide-open skies, park-like landscaping, and exclusive weekend access, Hilltop provides a serene, one-of-a-kind setting that feels private, magical, and anything but cookie-cutter.

When you book Hilltop Guest Ranch, you receive exclusive access to the entire property from Friday through Sunday, giving you the freedom to settle in, rehearse, celebrate, and break down at your own pace. Your rental includes use of the pond ceremony site, the 1-acre grass meadow, the 2,800 sq. ft. Green Barn, guest house for getting-ready, photo locations, and scenic overlooks. You’re welcome to bring your own vendors, host a full bar, and customize the layout to fit your vision. With sweeping views, wide-open spaces, and a private weekend experience, Hilltop provides everything you need for a relaxed, unforgettable celebration.
