The farmhouse is situated on 4 acres and shared with dogs, cats, goats, geese, turkeys, tortoise, horses and chickens! We are on the property as well and in our own space. We can have as much or as little interaction as you would like. The farmhouse is for two adults only, sorry no children. You have approximately 750sf. with 2 separate sleeping areas to choose from. One is in the bedroom with a king size bed and the other is located in the living room. It is a cubby that has a queen size mattress in it. It is very cozy! Kitchen amenities include, stove/oven, fridge, sink, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender and all the service ware you need! A Samsung 42" flat screen tv with Directv premium channels is provided for your viewing. A full bath with a shower and tub awaits you. There is also a workspace if you need to do some work while here. The place is airy and bright with lots of windows and doors to let in the natural light. French doors open to a lovely private brick outdoor patio with BBQ, table & chairs and two lounge chairs. The patio/backyard faces a vegetable garden and is very private . During the day we have free roaming animals that you may encounter. We let the hens out about 7 or 8:00 am as they have an automatic door and they go to bed at dusk. The hens can make noise when laying an egg. We let the roosters out of the coop around 8:00am and they free range as well. The coop is out in a field away from the farmhouse by our barn and the roosters have a little sound proofing around where they sleep. But this is the country and you may hear ours and other neighbors roosters crowing or other animals. We also have pygmy goats, a dog 35 pounds, tortoise, geese, turkeys and horses along with ourselves on the property. This is a farm with animals that can make noises. There is an and pm feedings, it's a farm if animals are not your thing than we are not for you...

This entire Area is in the PGE (power Co) jurisdiction and the have advised when deemed fit they can cut the electricity. This inconvenience is out of of our control.

Interaction with Guests We can have as little or as much interaction as our guests would like. The Neighborhood We are located at the end of a gravel country lane.

The farmhouse had everything we needed. Kris was easy to get a contact if we needed anything. The location was great for wineries or just checking out the area. Having the farm animals wandering around was an added bonus. ##### Steven S.

Loved to talk with her about the farm and animals. Loved the turkey the most but also liked the goats and wedding dress geese. Host greeted us with freshly baked bread, homemade jelly and wine, and fresh eggs from her chickens. Some days we fed the chickens and some days not, but every day we interacted with the animals in some way. Enjoyed the small towns nearby, especially Los Olivos. Had a great lunch there and enjoyed olive oil tasting (and buying!). Would love to go back, maybe in springtime. ##### Patricia C.

Off the beaten path, yet close to many local activities. Many friendly farm animals to enjoy. ##### Robert C.

Beautiful views of the farm and animals from windows. Kris is a great hostess! She provides fresh eggs from the chickens on the farm, milk, coffee (plus decaf), teas, and oatmeal to start your morning. We will be back! ##### Carol H.

It began with meeting our host who stocked our farmhouse with homemade wine, jams, and warm fresh sourdough bread. We were also greeted by turkeys, geese, dogs and chickens! It was a piece of heaven. The little farmhouse was spotless and charming. Central location made our e bike riding to wineries a breeze! We will be a repeat visitors.! ##### Howard A.

We always go to the coast. What a fabulous change of pace! The farmhouse is charming and very comfortable. It is so much fun feeding the chickens, geese, and turkeys that roam all around freely. And the African tortoise is huge. Kris, the host is wonderful and friendly. Will we stay here again? In a heartbeat. And we will recommend this wonderful home to our friends. ##### Rodney A.

Kris greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the property. There were fresh eggs, warm bread with butter and jam and a bottle of wine with a sweet note welcoming us to the farm. We felt like we we’re staying with family, it was absolutely wonderful. The converted horse stable was so cozy, clean and inviting. Kris shared that she was helping to care for a baby goat and offered to let me feed her, something this city girl will never forget. Do not pass up an opportunity to stay here. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kris for everything, we will be seeing you soon ❤️ 🐓 ##### Erin H.

She welcomed me with fresh bread and a bottle of wine and fresh eggs in the refrigerator. Everything was wonderful. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Be advised if you are not a fan of birds this might not be the location for you, as there are chickens and turkeys and ducks and geese on site. Not a problem for me but felt I should share as an FYI. Again, everything was wonderful you will not be disappointed. ##### Melissa A. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark P. 6 Jan 2018 #### Location, location... Located between Santa Ynez and Los Olivos, this charming little guest house made for the perfect base camp for our wine tasting exploration. Ideally sized for a couple. The city slicker we are enjoyed the chickens and geese that roam the property. The only negative marks were for the nearly non-exisitant wi-fi (this is the 21st century) and the mud and dirt you have to traipse through to get from your car to the house. A gravel walkway would have been nice. Otherwise, perfect in every other way. ##### Mark P.

And we can’t overpraise how fun and interesting our stay turned out to be. Owners Kris and Francisco care for chickens, geese, a Tom Turkey, ponies, goats, and even a 140 lb tortoise, many of them rescues. We loved watching them and scattering feed for the chickens and Mr. Big. The Farmhouse is a charming, relaxing and fun cottage. Kris welcomed us as we arrived, and made us a present of freshly made bread, butter and homemade jams. A basket of newly laid eggs awaited us, together with a bottle of their excellent house-made Cabernet-Merlot blend. While we decompressed from our long drive before heading out to dinner, we enjoyed our treats together with a glass of The Farmhouse wine. Just minutes away from Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang, it was easy to explore, shop, and enjoy several nice restaurants. Wineries and tasting rooms abound, so we made time to stop at a few to taste the local offerings. The weather was perfect during our stay. Rocking chairs on the back patio offered the perfect vantage for watching the jet fighter hummingbirds defend the feeder hanging nearby. While I am most happy just hanging out, my husband usually wants to charge ahead to see what’s just around the corner. But with the addition of a day trip here and there, we both loved watching the animals, feeding the chickens, sipping wine on the patio and just plain relaxing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f619f3cc-130f-4f49-955c-6fc6fe78f5aa-1753580223381.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd5cc2d0-f9ec-4e05-9f26-4d91b6c98ffc-1753580222746.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5fcc5448-cb68-4dbd-8c1f-ec90cd3e613f-1753580222213.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/949c8d96-4d73-40fe-ac11-dc61e3cf4ffa-1753581134010.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Helen B.
