| LODGING |
 |
| Drive along the beautiful coastal highway 101 just outside of Santa Barbara, and you’ll begin to feel like you’re getting away from it all. As you turn toward the mountains at Refugio State Beach and travel 3.5 scenic miles along a winding mountain road, you’ll know you’ve made your escape. The ranch, settled in a beautiful valley of avocado orchards with the Santa Ynes Mountains as a backdrop, beckons you to step into a California of yester-year. You’ll start to relax the minute you step into one of our 17 spacious ranch-style rooms or a luxurious cabin with comfortable, whimsical western décor. Each cabin, privately situated on the hilly mountainside, comes complete with a king or queen size bed, a sumptuous comforter, fireplace and private deck. Each Deluxe Ranch Room shares a common redwood deck, has its own private entrance, a wall heater, ceiling fan, and refrigerator. Our completely private honeymoon suite is decked out with a canopied king bed and comes complete with a wet bar, central air conditioning, and a TV with VCR. The bathroom has a large Roman tub for relaxing soaks and a beautiful oversized shower made of tumbled marble. Inquire about our romantic getaway package that includes delivery of a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, snack basket, and a chilled bottle of champagne. Our newly completed Creekside Cottages are one bedroom suites with a separate sitting area including wood buring fireplaces, central air and heat, granite tile shower, refrigerator, and satellite TV. |

| HISTORY/HOSTS |
|
Currently in its third generation of family proprietorship, the Circle Bar B Guest Ranch was brought to life in 1939 by Florence Brown and Ed Randolph. During that year, they purchased 60 acres of what was an original part of the Ortega-Stokes 1843 Mexican Land Grant. Florence found the Refugio canyon with its pristine beauty and coastal appeal to be just the place for a children’s camp, and then in 1941, a guest ranch.
Florence bridled her passion from running the Holt Guest Ranch in Los Alamos, California into the Circle Bar B and created a unique vacation experience that still enchants visitors from all over the globe. As additional acreage was purchased and the ranch’s popularity increased, demand was met with the addition of newer guest facilities, updated buildings and eventually a dinner theatre.
Florence’s vision has been enriched over the years and is still carried out today by her family. Florence’s son Jim, his wife Betty, and their children Kathy and Pat currently run the family business.
We welcome you to come be a part of the Circle Bar B’s rich family history, and create some of your own!
