A hidden gem: Cuyama, California

Cuyama sits in the heart of Central California's high desert, near Santa Barbara County and is just 2⅟₂ hours from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles airports.

Cuyama Buckhorn sits in what is known as the Hidden Valley of Enchantment. Originally built in 1952 as a roadside motel, the property has been transformed into an oasis for resorting.
