We had just an amazing time in this Montecito home. The property is special. Just a vintage home that is comfortable with fun and special decor. The garden is exceptional. After the hustle and bustle of Santa Barbara we loved returning to the relaxing grounds. The outdoor spaces were fantastic and our 2 dogs enjoyed it all fully. After dinner in the garden we ended every evening in the large living room with the stone fire blazing. Terrific!

The home was exactly as pictured. It was a beautiful, private property ideally situated close to town but also right across the street from a sweet little walking trail. The living spaces worked perfectly for our family and the backyard was terrific for sunny relaxing afternoons!

Great house for family gathering. Large yard for my dog was a plus. The kitchen was large and had enough items to accommodate family.

My closest family and friends stayed at this beautiful home and guest house the week before my wedding. The property was spacious, charming, and had lots of character. The layout of the house was fun to explore and the outdoor space was just as beautiful as the inside. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive.

Beautiful property perfect for a family getaway. Play set and large grass area was great for the kids to run around and play. We rented both the main house and guest house.

I was looking for a special home to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday with our family, and this was such a beautiful place to stay! We all were very happy, had most of our meals outside, with the gorgeous weather, and enjoyed the location. Even our dog enjoyed the yard! As a Designer, myself, I appreciated all the art and design choices made for the home by the owner. With many family members that love to read, our only helpful hint would be for better lighting by the beds and sitting areas. We loved our stay and really enjoyed visiting your winery! What a fun excursion and some of the best wines I've tasted! We are now wine club members at Babcock Winery and hope to visit again soon. We have beautiful memories to last a lifetime! Thank you for sharing your special home with us!

This place makes you feel like you are staying somewhere in the French countryside. It is beautiful. If you are looking for a modern home with lots of amenities, this is not the place for you. But to host the bridesmaids before our daughters wedding, it was perfect. Everyone loved long chats by the fireside, the beautiful flowers and gardens. It was the old world charm and special details that made our stay magical. Thank you for sharing this special home with us!
