As the sun sets, the clear skies turn flaming orange. The days are still warm, and great weather for hiking, horseback riding, uncrowded beaches and the best surfing conditions of the year. In the evening, you can dine out in Montecito or SB's Funk Zone; but the crisp evenings are also ideal for staying in the cabin and cozying up to the fire or catching up with friends and family out on the heated deck. Up the stairs off the driveway, the main entrance opens to the expansive living room with high raked, beamed ceilings, built-in cabinets, shelves and window benches of classic mid-mod architecture. The kitchen is open, with a service bar and all the modern necessities, and sports a red porcelain sink. There is comfortable, down-filled furniture, a blue tooth speaker, and a Samsung Smart TV and the Roku media player with all the usual streaming apps in the living room. There is also an adjoining bathroom, with a spacious walk-in shower with a built-in bench. The main attraction is the full deck which offers the best views of the ocean and surrounding hills and forest, and has an outdoor dining table, patio furniture and lounge chairs where you can enjoy both sun and shade. There is a patio heater and blankets/wraps nearby if a cooling fog rolls in. An app-friendly Celestron telescope is available, upon request, to gaze even deeper into the night sky. Up the stairs, the master bedroom occupies the third-floor alcove with a queen bed, full ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobe, and ocean views through a large picture window. The large second bedroom is on the lower level, below the main floor, accented by a matching stone tile floor and wall. There are two full-sized beds, plenty of built-in closet space, another built-in window bench, built-in shelving with board games, and a large round, spinning lounge chair. The thermostat that controls the heat for the whole house is in this bedroom. Outside the bedroom, the foyer has a sitting area with a trundle daybed (two twin beds) that can be used for extra guests. Off the foyer, there is a half bath/laundry room, and a fenced-in deck with it's own beautiful view of the ocean, a BBQ grill, and patio furniture. The deck opens to the driveway, and provides a private entrance to this floor. The immediate outdoor space is complimented with a hammock, a trampoline, a swurfer (a hybrid swing you can also stand on for a surfing experience), large and stunning gnarled oak trees, seasonal streams and gardens, as well as the rest of the forest and it's inhabitants. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE While the cabin feels completely remote and secluded, the surrounding forest comes alive after dark with the sound of wildlife. Being back up against the foothills, and particularly at the back of 20 wooded acres, favors an exorbitant amount of wildlife on the property. There is always deer, and it is common to see them especially driving back onto the property after dark. There are also plenty of birds of prey, some regulars, like a white barn owl whose piercing shriek is unmistakable. If you hear it, keep your eyes on the night sky because you will often see it's ghostly white figure glide past the deck shortly thereafter. There is a fox that lives near the driveway, as well as a lynx. Note that there has also been recent cougar and bear and sightings. DOG OWNERS: While this is a pet-friendly rental, please be respectful of the abundant wildlife. While there are no roads or traffic to worry about in the immediate area, there is wildlife that can injure your dog. If your dog is well-behaved, feel free to walk your dog off leash, but please keep them within eyesight. Also, take advantage of the lax leash laws on all the Summerland beaches, but again, please be attentive to the novice horseback riders on the beach. After a day hiking the trails, you should also check for ticks. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult aged 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 4 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: parent supervision required.

We also had our dog.The place was nice and quiet up in the hills with a great view, but still close enough to town where we were able to enjoy both. ##### Natalie A.

It was especially nice because it was so roomy, yet cozy and we didn’t have to worry about parking or noise levels, not that we were so noisy but I know that’s a concern in Santa Barbara. Paul was a welcoming host and our friends had no trouble finding the house with his good directions. Our gathering was of about 20 people. ##### Lita B.

The house is magnificent, Paul is a fantastic host and I can’t recommend this property enough. Definitely going to return. ##### Nick S.

Paul was a fabulous host. I had my five month old puppy with me and Paul was very accommodating. Paul showed me all of the local beaches where I could take my dog. He told me about local restaurants and attractions that were excellent. I may just return someday. ##### Terri B.

The house is so cozy and beautiful and the views are insane!!!!! You wake up in the morning looking across rolling hills down to the ocean. You feel a million miles away but can zip down the hill and have amazing restaurants and beaches at your fingertips! Paul, thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us and being a gracious host! ##### carrie p. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vids R. 12 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic getaway close to the city yet far enough away! We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin in summerland. We stayed over new years with our dogs. The property was perfect for our two families since the 3 dogs were interacting for the first time and the split level housing really worked well for us. In addition to the convenience for our dogs, the property has stunning views to enjoy during the day and enjoy the balcony at night with a warm drink. The cabin is clean and well kept although it is old. As mentioned in the listing the drive up to the cabin is a dirt road, so be mindful of that when making the reservation. When it rains (which is rare in SoCal) the path can get a little challenging but no big deal if you have an SUV and drive slow. I highly recommend the property for multiple families who want the peace of countryside but remain close enough to the city to go enjoy a fine dinner. ##### Vids R.
