We drove up the coast for a golf trip with another couple, trying to avoid El Niño rains late December - March. Wouldn't you know we were rained out anyways!! That being said, we spent most of our time enjoying this great house. It was perfect for our group and we enjoyed the cozy living area and fireplace while watching movies. The house was very well equipped and the host was super responsive. The location is great for wineries, restaurants and golf! Thanks for a lovely visit.

This is a well maintained property with good views. Kitchen area is well designed and easy to navigate. The living room has a comfortable large couch and there is additional group seating on the back patio as well. Garage has a fun foosball table and darts for guests to use. Don't miss out on all the great birds and the bunnies!

Peaceful with nice views, comfy beds, near to attractions. Pros: location for wineries, Solvang, well-kept, clean, roomy. Kitchen was stocked. Cons: none, really. There's a whole house fan (but we didn't know so used the AC one day). Great communication. We recommend highly.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Complete accuracy on the description. Things were even better, particularly the morning noises during coffee on the patio. Tractors in the distance, goats, cows, not disturbing by any means. Just right sitting in the sun.

We loved staying at this fully upscale home. It had everything needed to feel at home while away. The entire home was fully equipped, comfortable, and in a perfect locations… literally 10 minutes from great restaurants and quaint towns. It was very private and while sitting outdoors we saw falling stars. Perfect location and very comfortable. As good (better) than it gets!

Great location and even greater that we can walk to the winery down the driveway. Kris was a great host and appreciated his responsiveness to messages and questions.

The house was clean, roomie and had an ample amount of amenities. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable with TVs and blackout blinds. Open concept kitchen/living room was spacious with an island to belly up to which is great for entertaining. Covered, comfortable back patio with great views and fruit trees a stones throw away. Great for morning coffee and pastries and evening pizza (Ginos) and wine. Perfect location near Solvang, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, vineyards and other great places. The owner (Kris) is very accommodating.

We were so pleased with this property. The location is convenient to Santa Ynez, Solvang, and Los Olivos, making it easy to explore and easy to get back to rest between activities. The house is perfectly appointed, and the back yard is so peaceful. Great stargazing, too! I will definitely be back.

We stayed here for three nights while wine tasting in the Santa Ynez area. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped with lovely views and good proximity to the lovely town of Ballard (one mile away). We prepared two meals and the kitchen and grill both held up well.
The host was courteous and efficient.
Would recommend highly.

Beautiful, well-equipped house handily located near several wineries and only a short distance from all the towns in the area. Kris was a great host. He was easy to reach and very helpful.

We try to come to the area every year with our friends and have stayed in this lovely home several times and love it so much. The area has such great wine tasting and vineyard experiences along with a number of really good restaurants. The only thing I would say as a suggestion is that it's probably time for new mattresses in the bedrooms. We will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our 3 nights at this beautiful gated community. The house is clean, comfortable and has Everything you need. The only thing missing was a third bathroom, only because we were 3 couples. We would definitely rent this home again should we come up with one other couple.
The property, location, and views were amazing. It was definitely a great find!

A beautiful home in a private enclave. Beautiful views and close to Los Olivos, Solvang - shopping, wineries etc. We had a great time and plan to return!

This property is so special - it's the perfect house for a weekend getaway in wine country. The house itself is so charming and the view of the vineyards is breathtaking. You can't beat the location either! Close enough to everything to be easy, but secluded enough to not feel like you're on top of anyone. Kris made the whole process a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

This is a beautifully appointed home in the middle of a winery with all the amenities you would need. There are comfortable beds, plenty of dinnerware, glasses and flatware. And visits by the pups, Rocco and Ozzy were a welcome treat. We look forward to our next visit.

We had an amazing time staying at this lovely property for our 10 year anniversary. The house exceeded our expectations and had all the accommodations we needed to enjoy ourselves. Kris was a great host, and was easy to get a hold of if we needed anything, and a pleasure to chat with. The property is beautiful and the pond was a nice little treat for a sunset romantic drink at the end of the day. All the utilities are high end, beds are comfortable, the AC works great (It was super hot this week, in the triple digits) and very close proximity to vineyards and tasting rooms, and good restaurants near by. Unfortunately for us, it was too hot to take advantage of the bikes in the garage, otherwise we would have rode to the winery just down the road. Overall, this is a very nice home to get away and have some peace and quiet in the country side....very romantic! We'll be back!!

The property is beautiful with spectacular views! We enjoyed our stay here w/ our 3 adult children. Everything was very clean and upgraded. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Kris was great to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had.

Kris is very easy to work with. Great spot
5.0
The house was just as advertised. it is clean and comfortable. it has everything anyone needed to relax and cook some meals. it is centrally located in the valley with short drive to town and wineries. The owner was very nice and communication was easy and clear. And, it also came with a greatf friendly guard dog :) The only thing I would suggest is somehow find a way to shut off the motion lights in the backyard. Star gazing in the Santa Ynez Valley is a wonderful relaxing activity after dark with a great glass of wine in hand.
