Cuyama Buckhorn

5 stars

Great place to get away. Loved the bar and cafe!

An island of sanity in the middle of the desert Beautiful property with an excellent bar next to it

Wonderful! Especially love the pool area, fire pits, and the bar! Rooms clean and great decor - a s’mores kit which was a great touch. We took part in the weekend guest chef chuck wagon meal event which was a bit of a dud…great music but food was cold and underwhelming. Should have enjoyed a meal at the on-site restaurant which is always a hit with local produce and lots of flare. Staff were excellent during every interaction. The owner introduced herself and provided a Prosecco toast for our table. If you want a getaway with great amenities, the Buckhorn does not disappoint!

The property itself is amazing, all the finishes of this hotel are beautiful and it’s extremely comfortable. I gave 4 stars because of the restaurant, the food selection and taste was ok. It’s a limited menu and it’s the same for lunch and dinner. Taking into consideration that there is not much to eat in this area, you have all your meals here so you end up with the same small menu and it wasn’t great. Also, we stayed for the BBQ experience on Saturday and it’s nice but the bbq meat is served really cold so we ended up taking it to go because it wasn’t enjoyable at all. Maybe a warming tray like the ones at the catering service would work fine. We didn’t enjoy this food at all. Sorry and it’s too bad because the ambiance and music was great but sometimes a bad meal can ruin your experience.
