The Western White House is a term applied to additional residencies of the President of the United States. It was used for the Crawford, Texas ranch of George W. Bush, known as Prairie Chapel Ranch, and has also been used by other chief executives for their homes, including Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan.


Reagan spent nearly 1/8th of his presidency at his Rancho del Cielo in Santa Barbara County, California. Reagan also spent so much time at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, that the press also dubbed the hotel the Western White House for a time.


Rancho del Cielo, or "Sky's or Heaven's Ranch," is a 688-acre (2.78 km2) ranch located on the top of the Santa Ynez Mountain range northwest of Santa Barbara, California. It served as a vacation home for the late President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.
