"I’ve never been to a more family-focused resort that still felt so luxurious and peaceful. We took the kids on a picnic with the resort's mini donkeys, Pablo and Paco, they feasted from the kids' buffet while Kris and I enjoyed fall harvest features from the menu, we took the short drive into town to splash in the ocean and jump in the sand, roasted s’mores and saw some of the leaves changing color on a crisp fall morning. So many best parts." —

"Carmel Valley Ranch’s equine-therapy program, created and run by Robert Magnelli and his wife, Nancy, a psychiatric nurse, helps guests unlock even more enrichment via horses...

Some of The Ranch’s equine experiences include connecting with a horse through non-verbal communication, such as petting or eye contact, or doing so in a quintessentially California way—with a glass of local wine. Other offerings inspire problem-solving, such as obstacle courses, where participants identify dilemmas in their lives and then build a physical course to represent those roadblocks." –
