We had my daughter’s large wedding in Santa Ynez, I needed the perfect refuge and this was it! While it was remote and VERY QUIET, it was only minutes from everywhere. I can’t say enough about Leo and Jeanne! Lovely, friendly and answered all my questions! There was even a little baked cranberry loaf waiting for us. I will definitely be back!

Cute little 2 bed one bath casita on their property. It is next to but not connected to the main house where the hosts live. Everything was ex as curly as described, and they even provided a DELICIOUS loaf of sweet bread from a local market which our kids loved for breakfast each morning. Great spot for young families and people with dogs, they have a large property they can run around on. We met Jeanne one of the days and enjoyed chatting with her. Will definitely look to return here next time we’re in the area!

4th of July Getaway

Love going up to the Santa Ynez/Los Olivos area! Such a relaxing quiet place to go with lots of fun wineries to try when we want to go out and about. This is at least our 3rd time spending the 4th of July holiday up there away from all the loud illegal fireworks in our area that terrify our dogs (they love it up there too!).

Wonderful location and cute home. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. It was so nice to be able to walk the dog down the long country driveway and look at the mountains in one direction and the sunset in another. It is also very close to everything yet it feels like an oasis. The hosts are respectful of guests privacy but they were so hospitable and friendly and warm and ensured we had everything we needed. Hope to come back and stay again!

Lovely stay in Santa Ynez

As advertised, a lovely, relaxing stay on a ranch in inland sb county. Host proved extremely thoughtful touches which my wife and I appreciated, their casita was a launching point for several trips to nearby wineries as one evening we brought back a Pinot and pizza to enjoy on on our back patio as we watched the sun set over Santa ynez…

Absolutely the best!!!!

We had the best stay. The check in was simple and this place is absolutely beautiful. The home was decorated so beautifully. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was top notch and that’s coming from a bedding snob. Everything was convenient and we were close to everything we could possibly need.

This place was perfect for our needs. The property sits on 10 private acres, so it felt incredibly private, quiet, and safe, which we really appreciated. The home is single-level with no stairs, which made it ideal for my elderly parents and little blind dog- that alone makes this place a rare and special find. The house was secluded yet close to great retaurants, solvang,casino, wine tasting. Id like to go back soon.

Santa Ynez getaway with our puppy

Charming, comfortable guesthouse and an excellent location! We were there for a wedding at Koehler Winery, but it is close to everything, restaurants, wineries, shopping. Beautiful property, lots of trees, quiet and relaxing. The Hosts were very friendly and also helpful in recommending dog friendly breakfast locations. We highly recommend this Vrbo and would definitely stay there again.
