When Ferial Sadeghian and Jeff Vance of L.A.based design/build firm iDGroup purchased the CUYAMA BUCKHORN in 2018, they tapped their own expertise to reimagine the 1952 roadhouse and motel with stylish guest rooms and a menu that emphasizes local, seasonal flavors along with barbecue classics. “We’re calling it a ‘midcentury farmhouse,’” Sadeghian says about the 21-room property on State Route 166 in rural Santa Barbara County. The Buckhorn, whose private patios make for an ideal socially distanced getaway, has been energized for its longtime loyal clientele—and offers a new California adventure for first-timers. 4923 Primero St., New Cuyama, 661-766-2825, CUYAMABUCKHORN.COM. From $197/night. JESSICA RITZ
