Nestled in the heart of California's Hidden Valley of Enchantment, the Cuyama Buckhorn stands as a true gem, a testament to the enduring charm and revitalized spirit of New Cuyama. Established in 1952 as a simple roadside stop, this iconic venue has transformed into a full-fledged resort retreat, capturing the essence of cowboy-chic elegance. Today, it boasts 21 guest rooms adorned with rustic furniture and desert-inspired decor, reflecting a deep nod to the Wild West. With its serene pool, sauna hut, and hot tub, Cuyama Buckhorn offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Located along Highway 166, between Santa Maria and Bakersfield, this quaint destination is surrounded by the natural beauty of Los Padres National Forest and the Bittercreek Wildlife Preserve. Its unique position offers visitors the chance to experience breathtaking stargazing, stunning sunsets, and the rich biodiversity of the desert and grasslands. Through partnerships with local organizations such as the Blue Sky Center and the Cuyama Valley Food Action Network, the community is working towards sustainable economic prosperity for local farmers, ranchers, and businesses. Join us as we explore the enchanting allure of New Cuyama and discover why this hidden treasure is fast becoming a must-visit destination.

On today's show, we are excited to feature Scott Augat, the General Manager of the Cuyama Buckhorn Hotel.
