The property is beautifully situated on a hill with spectacular views. It was perfectly equipped with all of the essentials and location to Solvang and Los Olivos was less than 10 mins. We would Lavender Hill again!

This was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away with some girlfriends to celebrate my birthday and sip some wine. Hoping to return at some point in the future!

Wonderful views in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to amenities, but feels like you’re very secluded up on the hill. Great time with friends in wine country.

My family enjoyed the home. The rooms were spacious. We were able to have meals together and play games and watch movies. Great views and not far from the shops and restaurants. The house had everything we needed and appreciate the quick response to my questions. Thanks again. Hope to come back again…..😊

My family of seven stayed for a week and we had an incredible vacation. The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. There was no shortage of space for sleeping, showering, relaxing and having family meals. There was plenty of kitchenware for grilling and cooking, and the selection of yard and board games kept everyone entertained when we weren’t taking in the beautiful views from the hilltop where the house sits. The location was great if you are looking for that combination of peace and quiet while being only a few short minutes away from everything the area has to offer. We easily made multiple visits to both Solvang and Santa Barbara. We also found it very convenient having a grocery store just a couple minutes away allowing us to pick up food throughout the week as our meal plans constantly changed. The property manager and homeowner were extremely nice and communicative during our stay. This home will be my first choice when returning to the area. I would highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely, phenomenal! Exceeded all of our expectations! We were a family of nine and we created memories that will last a lifetime. The owner and property manager were incredibly responsive. But we really didn’t need them. Absolutely everything we could have wanted was there. The room layouts were perfect. Beds were comfortable. We cooked a lot and everything we needed was available. And the views were unbelievable! Absolutely one of the most wonderful homes we’ve ever stayed in. And Solvang has changed a lot. It’s a great destination!

Beautiful property with gorgeous views of rolling hills, alpacas and cute bunny rabbits. House was spacious and accommodated my family’s needs. The outdoor furniture needed refurbishing but the owner said that was in the works. We had a lovely time in this very peaceful environment.

We had a family wedding to attend in Los Olivos…this home was absolutely everything we could have asked for and more! Perfectly situated between so many beautiful towns and a short drive to Santa Barbara! Michelle was informative, extremely attentive and helpful! We would love to visit again some day!

Wonderful property and location; we greatly enjoyed our stay. Would certainly revisit.

The house has stunning views and was very spacious. Fully equipped with cooking utensils, grill, and spices. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plenty of room for a family of 4, family of 3, and another family of 4 with kids ranging from 1-8 year olds. The kids really enjoyed the family of rabbits casually hanging outside and the games (corn hole/ yoga mats/ dominoes/ jenga). Only downside was having to find our own pack and plays.
Location was 5 minutes from town and less than 10 minutes from casino. Property manager and owner were very helpful when my brother left his wallet in house after check out. Overall would stay there again.

Wonderful spacious home with plenty of beds for a crowd. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The outside space was fabulous. Beautiful views and multiple seating arrangements to gather, including a hot tub. It had everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. Just wish it had a washer/dryer.

Michelle met us at the the house and showed us around her beautiful home. We hung out and talked on the two porches, watching the neighbors llamas and some burros who enjoyed sliding down the hill. The views were spectacular! Inside we found the living room, dining room and kitchen large enough to accommodate all six of us. Michelle’s home was a relaxing place to gather after out daily wine tasting. We hope to return! 🍷

As a group of friends we came from all over the country and needed a time to reflect and relax before heading back to the city. This place was perfect! Enough space for everyone and it is gorgeous. There are a lot of rules but they’re there for a reason. I would go back in a second.

Would not hesitate to recommend this place! My extended, multigenerational family of 11 celebrated my father’s 80th birthday together at this beautiful home. Michelle was super helpful when (due to a storm) we had a power outage. Yes, there are extensive and detailed care instructions that come with the house but anyone who respects other people’s property will have no trouble following them.

Would definitely stay again!! There are a lot of rules to follow, but the rules should not be hard to follow for respectful guests.

7 ladies had the pleasure of staying at Michelle’s property for 2 nights. It was perfect. She is a very welcoming host and gave us all the property details in person when we checked in. The house is gorgeous, the views are fabulous and we girls had the time of our lives. We’ll be back!

This was our second family reunion at Lavender Hill! It was perfect for family to gather and enjoy each other, the beautiful scenery and the lovely home. Michelle is a most gracious host! We plan to come back again!

Our group had a fantastic weekend at this house. The property is very private on the top of a hill and up a long driveway. The proximity to wine tasting was perfect and a short drive to many restaurants. The views while sitting on the porch were top notch and provided a perfect way to start and end the day.
The house was well laid out and the rooms were very large. They are separated from each other so each couple had their own privacy. It was well stocked with bath towels, shampoo, soap, TP, etc.
The kitchen has pretty much anything you'd need. We made most meals at the house and loved the pretty serve ware they had. 2 coffee makers was a plus as well. There were enough wine glasses and drink ware for our group to enjoy the wine we bought locally.
We would recommend staying here to anybody and will definitely come back on our next trip. Thanks Michelle!

All five adult couples loved this retreat! The dining room is big enough to seat all of us and meals were easy to prepare due to the well appointed modern kitchen. Bedrooms are accurately presented in the listing. The surrounding vistas of rolling hills can be enjoyed from multiple places throughout the property. We had excellent communication with the owner throughout the whole stay and enjoyed the thoughtful touches. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms clean and well stocked. It will be hard to beat the beauty and elegance of this home at our next gathering in Phoenix.

This home is on a hill with beautiful views all around. The rooms are extremely spacious and the layout is perfect for a group. The house stayed extremely cool too even without the A/C on too strong. There was a well stocked kitchen (not food obviously), and well supplied bathrooms. Everything is very comfortable.
The location is ideal. While you can't exactly walk anywhere, you can get to Solvang or St Ynez in 5 mins and Los Olivos in 10. It is very well positioned.
The tight check in time and requiring to meet up with somebody was a bit stressful since we were flying in that day from another country. Also, the rules provided beforehand were stressful and made us kind of wary if we'd get our security deposit back. In the end, it all turned out to be easy peasy though, and the house rules were no different than any other house we've rented.
All in all, it was a great experience, a comfortable home, and a good value for the price.

Absolutely the most beautiful home! Three generations of extended family, 11 of us ranging in age from 21 to 83, just spent 5 days at Lavender Hill Ranch, and we were so sorry to leave! The house is spacious, we never felt crowded even with such a big group. Immaculately clean, well stocked with pans, etc. for all the meals we ate in. The owner and property manager couldn’t be nicer, and they were just a text away if we needed anything. But most of all, this home is just beautiful, a perfect place to relax and enjoy family, and the views! Just gorgeous, I don’t think we ate any meals at the dining room table, we always ate outside to enjoy the beauty around us. There is a market just minutes away, and I think almost 100 wineries/tasting rooms within 5 minutes. You cannot ask for a more wonderful vacation home away from home!

We had a mini family reunion and were so happy we chose Lavender Hill! The house is beautiful and the views spectacular! I would highly recommend and we look forward to staying there again!

Our family met for a five day reunion at the house. 9 adults, 2 kids and one infant, 3 generations. The perfect spot for our vacation. Great restaurants, even better Vineyards, sight seeing, lots to do. Communication before and during our stay with the owner and manager was excellent. Our vacation experience could not have been better. Thank you!
