My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing time. Check in and out was a breeze. Jeanne was a perfect host, ready with a warm welcome but also respectful of privacy. She thinks of every detail!
The location is gorgeous, with acres to walk around and enjoy the scenery and nearby farm life. We spent much of our trip just relaxing in and around the house. Our dogs loved it!
The house itself is very inviting, with tons of decoration and art, and there's plenty of space. It was prepared with anything we could need, including some delicious snacks and coffee. Lots of very thoughtful touches.

The casita in Santa Ynez is the perfect spot to unwind and rediscover nature. The property is quiet and allows you to visit horses and cows on the extensive grounds. If you prefer to cook at home, you have both an indoor and outdoor option. The casita is very clean, beds are comfortable, and shower water pressure awesome! Overall, the property and attentiveness of the owners makes the casita in Santa Ynez a gem.

We absolutely loved the casita. It was well stocked and beautifully decorated. It’s minutes away from wine country and old town Santa Ynez.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeanne and Leo's house in Santa Ynez. Sparkling clean with super comfy beds and pillows. Well appointed kitchen. We dined one night outside on the back patio and then enjoyed a glorious sunset while we watched the neighbors horses, a highlight of our trip as we felt truly submersed in the Santa Ynez vibe! I had the pleasure of chatting with Leo, super friendly and interesting! All in all, a wonderful time at this VRBO!

We were looking for a perfect getaway spot from San Diego, and we found it. The Casita is in such a tranquil setting, and the owners clued us in to such wonderful places as El Rancho Market. It has everything you need. This is the perfect location to explore Solvang, Santa Ynez, Buellton, Los Olivos, and only about 50 minutes from Santa Barbara. We look forward to a return stay.

Such a great guest house! We've been traveling to Santa Ynez/Los Olivos area for several years and have stayed in several house. This by far was one of our best experiences.
Jeanne and Leo were lovely and very hospitable. We had 2 labradors with us and they had such much fun running around the very large property. Close to town to pop over for dinner.
Can't wait to return!

From the moment we arrived, we felt so warmly welcomed by the gracious hosts, Jeanne and Leo. The casita was the ideal size for our family and small dog. We enjoyed watching movies together in the evenings, cooking together and even barbecuing! The patio was a perfect spot for an alfresco lunch and the location ideal just beyond Solvang and Los Olives. Relaxing with a book in the afternoon on the patio and then later a glass of wine really helped us feel settled and comfortable. Very, very quiet and tranquil surroundings. Highly recommend!

This was a great little casita to stay in if you want to be able to have a short walk or short drive to restaurants, wineries and shopping in the Santa Ynez/Solvang/Los Olivos region. The "rural" location means it is peaceful and sanguine, but in a simple 18 min walk, you can eat and drink and some fabulous places like the Brothers at the Red Barn. Or, a short drive (under 15 min) takes you to fantastic wineries like Sunstone or Rideau. Easy and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing get-away.

We went here over the Christmas holiday and absolutely loved it! I took my wife, mother-in-law, and two dogs, and everyone had an amazing time. The dogs loved running around the property and talking to the horses and cows. My wife and I loved the little house and being so close to Solvang. my mother-in-law enjoyed the fireplace and playing cards on a rainy day. All in all, it was a perfect vacation! Oh, and by the way, the owners are very, very sweet.

Every year my daughter, granddaughter, and great grandson select a small city to visit for the holiday season. We selected Solvang this year and what a delight it was!! This property was just perfect. The house is so nice and clean, well stocked with all your needs, and is so conveniently located to all the surrounding attractions. AND...after a busy day out and about, it was nice to return to "quiet". The property is so peaceful. You won't be disappointed.

We enjoyed this Casita very much. It was clean and very comfortable. The hosts are fantastic and very accomodating. We felt like we were in the country with the wide open space, cows and horses to visit next door and the overall peace and quiet. This place is a true gem!
