About this house rental

Light, open, soulful home residing on a beautiful large land outside neighborhoods with trees, sunshine, birds, wild life, gorgeous views, outside clawfood bathtub, exclusive privacy. A "far away" retreat a mere 10 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara. Rest, recalibrate, renew. Be. Happy!

Pure magical land and well loved home off private drive. Extremely serene, quiet setting with peaceful gorgeous energy, green growing things and fine air. This magical home resides on a larger 11 acre property graced with oak, pepper, sycamore and walnut trees is surrounded by horse trails, more land and national forest. Santa Barbara is stunning ALL year round! The incredible thing about this place is that it's a mere 2 miles to shopping malls, Whole Foods and restaurants (5 minutes) and 10 minutes to just about anywhere downtown Santa Barbara. We're also 30 minutes from the wine country... Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and Solvang. The land is unique because it feels like you're very remote and off the grid out in nature (which you are) but then it's just minutes to get anywhere in Santa Barbara. Very find rare to find such a spot with so much surrounding private serene land!

Bringing people into nature is a total love and passion of mine. It would be an honor getting to have you part of the unfolding story of this sacred land.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are interested in staying, I always like to connect by phone for a brief soulful hello, answer questions and make sure it's all feeling in alignment. Love this exchange to feel human and from the heart. And I want people getting just what they need, wherever that may be... so ya, let's talk! In order to do this though as the site is a little tricky, please send your coordinates and we so as to be sure the offering is the right fit for you. Want you landing in the right place wherever that might be!

More on the space.
The house has it's own private gated entrance and parking and a large fence at the back, so it's very private. The layout is very open and light with modern living room/kitchen, mountain views and a wood back deck with a wonderful claw footed bath tub. Soulful and homey with epic views of the mountains.

The open door ways expand out to the land which becomes an extension of the living space. The birds that land on the outside fountain are amazing.. birds of every kind.. sparrows, humming birds, blue scrub jays.. there's the sound of red tail hawks, crows, laying chickens (fresh eggs for you!) and neighboring horses. The sun is supreme here, the air quality medicinal and the weather has a habit of being a perfectly kind 73 degrees and sunny. Hang out by day or by moon with the countless places to dwell.

There is a true home feeling here... soulful with wood floors, a two headed hand tiled shower, organic California king mattress, claw foot bath tub off the back deck outside, a chef's kitchen and other good things you'd want in a dwelling, not to mention an UPRIGHT ACOUSTIC PIANO in the bedroom!

Wireless internet yes. Cell phones usually work great though you might need to find the sweet spots.

OTHER OFFERINGS:
I have chickens who are fed very well laying all organic epic EGGS! When they are laying you may occasionally be graced by the best eggs you can get anywhere.

p..s.s. as this is a nature connection offering, to understand the full range of the ecosystem. Birds cannot exist without insects, growing things cannot exist without Earth. As I long for you to get exactly what you need, please be sure you are one who can welcome nature as a whole understanding this before you book. While we do everything in our power to remove daddy long legs and certainly the space is CLEAN, still the occasional spider or moth can enter the spaces especially with doors open (i DO recommend doors open!). And to understand it is benign and safe here to do so. IF you prefer a sterile hotel room, do go that route. Nature connection is not for everyone and I want you happy wherever you land!

The house is perfect for a couple, with a nice-sized master bedroom, kitchen, living room and bath. It's rustic and homey, but clean; and the owner is very accommodating. It's very quiet and secluded, with birds bathing in the fountain in front of the house, and various paths to walk. There's a short hike to the top of a hill, also on the property, where you can relax and take in view of the surrounding hills and the ocean. We would stay here again.

We were looking for a comfortable, quiet, and secluded getaway place for a couple of days away from LA (and honestly, away from Santa Barbara proper too), and this place was just right. It felt like a hundred miles away from everywhere. (No mobile service helps!). Very comfortable inside and around the property. Highly recommend. Jennifer T was very friendly and welcoming.

A perfect getaway to reset, unplug and just enjoy nature. Absolutely beautiful.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2021
The property manager was very responsive and provided good directions for getting to the property. The property overall is really pretty. A thorough cleaning before guests arrive would have been great (e.g., the freezer was stocked full of frozen things and there was used food in the refrigerator which is a health hazard, the pulls on the cabinets were sticky, etc.). The electricity was touchy and the wifi worked intermittently. Many of the amenities were not working on our arrival and some, not all, were fixed the following day. The rest were fixed on the 2nd day. It’s not super quiet or super private as we found people looking into the windows at various times and parties starting pretty early in the morning. If you enjoy glamping, you will definitely enjoy this.
