Cuyama Buckhorn Resort

Cuyama Buckhorn is a soulful restoration and reimagination of a 1952 roadside motel and restaurant set in the Cuyama Valley — a rural agricultural region nestled between California’s Central Valley and Central Coast.

Inspired by the valley’s rich cultural and natural landscape, we approached the four-acre, five-structure property with the intent to preserve its mid-century spirit while transforming it into a contemporary destination. During the 12,500-square-foot renovation, we retained all five original buildings and the era-defining materials to preserve the integrity of the original design. The reimagined grounds now feature native gardens, event spaces, outdoor lounges, and a 20’ x 60’ pool that invites communal gathering and relaxed connection to the land.
