DESIGNER GETAWAY

The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort has unveiled the Turner House, a new three-bedroom guest cottage bedecked by noted California-based interior designer Nathan Turner. Found amid the 10,000-acre luxury dude ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, the new retreat features a chic take on Alisal’s Western feel and rustic charm with vintage artwork and antiques curated by Turner, refinished furniture pieces inspired by the cottage’s California-Monterey style, and additional accents including reclaimed barn wood paneling, a fireplace with a river rock façade, Ralph Lauren fabrics and Pendleton accessories.

Guests can book the entire cottage or each of the three rooms separately for $1,000 to $1,500 per night. Each space has a subtlety different color scheme, with a common great room tying them all together. Says Turner: “I designed the Turner House so that you feel as though you’re stepping into your own ranch house, yet one with all of the wonderful benefits that make the Alisal so special.”
