Solvang is a Holiday Getaway With European Style

"A luxury dude ranch set on roughly 10,500 rolling acres that pairs Western activities—horseback riding, rodeos, axe throwing, and Western-themed lodging—with upscale resort amenities like tennis courts, a full-service spa, two golf courses, and fine dining; the property also stages extensive yuletide programming, from wreath-making workshops and gingerbread-house displays (in partnership with a local bakery) to caroling, holiday movies, and visits from Santa on Christmas Eve." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.
