1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch

Hands down the dreamiest location I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing views, friendly hosts and animals. 10/10. Can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Lone Juniper Ranch

This place is a great outdoorsy experience for LA folks to have and spend some time visiting livestock, within an hour from the city. We stayed in a small cabin, which was well equipped with a bed, kitchen with a microwave and fridge, a bath, with shower, and nice extra amenities like a hammock, a well equipped barbecue on a fire pit. The animals were definitely the highlight, and we purchased a bucket of carrots from the owner so that we could feed the donkeys, alpacas, and camels. We also paid extra to use the sauna, which was surprisingly hot and was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

It was adorable! Clean and the beds were comfortable. Decor was cute, great kitchen space. Camels running amuck entertained us thoroughly!! A little hidden gem for sure, would highly recommend.

1 night at North Fork Ranch (Horses Welcome)

Such a great spot, in a quiet, peaceful valley. I had everything I needed for a cozy one night stay!

4 nights at Lone Juniper Ranch

Great spot. Fantastic views and wild flowers. Entertaining to see the workings around the farm, feeding the animals and watching them get rounded up, especially when a camel escaped! Location was a good base camp for visiting the area State Parks. The cabin had everything we needed. It all actually looked better in person than the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised.

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch

Beautiful spot with a just-the-right-size cabin for two. Lots of space outside to sit and take in the beautiful surroundings. The alpacas and donkeys right in front of the cabin add something really special to the experience.

Weekend Trip to Lone Juniper Ranch

We loved staying at the Muley Buck cabin. The kids had a lot of fun the animals. The place was clean, had everything we needed to cook. I would recommend buying the extras once you’re there in case they run out of eggs or carrots.

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch

Bobcat cabin was super cozy. Even though it was 45 F outside I bet the cabin never got below 60ish. There is an efficient heater, but I prefer a cold bedroom. The animals were super chill. Follow the instructions as texted and do NOT try to use Google Maps after you get to Gorman.

Blue Sky Center

1948- On January 1, 1948 a wildcatter named George Hadley, who had been oil prospecting in the valley for 10 years, made the first oil strike in the Cuyama Valley. Richfield Oil Company soon moved in and extracted nearly 300 million barrels of oil in just a few short years. To accommodate an exploding workforce in the early 1950s, the company built the town of New Cuyama, its infrastructure, public buildings, the Cuyama airstrip (L88) and all the industrial structures that are now home to Blue Sky. Richfield Oil Company, later merging with Atlantic Oil Company forming the Atlantic Richfield Oil Company (ARCO), created high-paying jobs, a safe and prosperous community, and developed schools, churches, and recreational areas for the employee-residents.1973- With dwindling production in the area and new discoveries in Alaska, Atlantic-Richfield Oil Company put the town of New Cuyama and its associated infrastructure up for sale. Word of an entire town for sale made its way to entrepreneur, Russell O’Quinn of the Foundation for Airborne Relief (FAR) and Mildred Dotson, a wealthy widow from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The two worked together to acquire the townsite and adjacent land. O’Quinn, an aviator, inventor, and test pilot, aspired to use the New Cuyama airstrip and facilities as a base for humanitarian relief and a non-profit trade school. Though not fully realized, FAR’s primary vision included utilizing converted military aircraft to airlift food and medical supplies to developing countries and global disaster areas. Dotson had loftier goals. Her plans included an 18-hole fly-in golf course, expansion of the Buckhorn Restaurant and Motel, and a 40- to 50-acre lake for amphibious landing and water sports. 1986- Another visionary, Harry Kislevitz, inventor of the popular design tool Colorforms® and founder of Future City/Villages International, sought to develop the site as a “City of Friendship,” an all-electric village of 5,000 earthen homes. The dwellings were to be designed by Nader Khalili, an Iranian-born architect who specialized in earthen structures, worked with NASA on prototypes for lunar homes and received an award from the United Nations for his work towards the development of low cost, sustainable structures for human shelter in impoverished and disaster prone environments. One 628-sq-ft Khalili prototype remains on the property today ("the Cantina"). Khalili went on to form the California Institute for Earth Art and Architecture, Cal-Earth, in Hesperia, CA.1993- Recognizing the transformative potential of clean, solar power and the attractiveness of a rural destination, entrepreneur Mike Nolan worked to develop the Solar Skypark and Big Sky Guest Ranch with Santa Barbara Architect, Barry Berkus. The Sky Park included plans for sixty-five fly-in residences on one-acre lots powered completely from clean, solar energy. The Big Sky Guest Ranch was intended to function as a clubhouse for Skypark residents complete with an equestrian center, a small subsistence farm, pool and plenty of enriching recreational activities. 2012- At the end of 2011, the Zannon Family Foundation made a long-term investment in acquiring the New Cuyama Airport property with the vision of rehabilitating the site to be a low-cost resource for programs and organizations working to advance sustainable living practices and technologies. Plans began soon after towards developing a framework and organization to develop the space and coordinate with prospective programs and institutions. In 2014 Blue Sky Sustainable Living Center ("Blue Sky Center") received 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status, endeavoring to reclaim this property for the public good. Today, Blue Sky Center provides unduplicated services and technical assistance to support small businesses and entrepreneurs as well as the local food system, with core work focused on community research and advocacy led by Cuyamans.
