About this house rental
Eagle Creek Ranch is my special place. I fell in love with it on my first visit and I just knew it was for me.
The property is 1/2 block from the main street in Los Alamos, CA. It's very private even though it's only right over the creek from Bell Street. The property is fenced and there is plenty of room to walk, explore, play crocket/Bocce Ball/Cornhole, relax, and enjoy a fire in the fire pit or lounge in the jacuzzi.
I decided, after spending months pouring my heart into the property, the ranch house and the Saloon, that I wanted to share it with others. It’s a work in progress but already a comfortable place to call home. The wifi is good, there is parking for many, you can invite guests for dinner under the oak grove and have a drink in the Saloon and you might even see the resident bobcat or the resident fox family wandering through the yard. You're a 10 second walk from downtown Bell Street across the bridge.
The Los Alamos area was originally a Chumash Indian Village and then became a stagecoach town in the late 1800's. It's a short drive to the rest of Santa Ynez Valley and everything it has to offer. It still boasts the last remaining railroad station that serviced the narrow gauge line during the early 1900’s (across the street from my ranch).
One of my favorite things to do is sit outside at the fire pit and stargaze. Because the property is off of Bell Street, you can usually see a starry sky in the evenings.
Whether you want to bike, hike, shop, or explore the many wine tasting and restaurant options available, you’ll always have something to do. Los Alamos, itself, is home to some of the best dining options in the entire Valley and the people are friendly and welcoming. It’s a small town (I have to get my mail at the post office every day), but not too far from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles (to the south) and San Luis Obispo and San Francisco (to the north). It is literally taking a step back in time.
Note...Los Alamos is rural! As such, there are occasional (2 to 3 times / year or so) unexpected power outages. The wifi is great at my property but it has gone out 1 or 2 times over the last few years on me, so if you absolutely are relying on wi-fi and would be very disappointed if you happen to staying during one of those 1-2 times a year when it went out, you might want to reconsider staying in Los Alamos!

This house and its amenities are sumptuous to say the least. We rented it initially for a larger group, but ended up being able to enjoy as a couple for four glorious days. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of napping more in the sun-drenched sunroom, or carousing on the whiskey deck, and the location while feeling secluded offers easy access to the quaint yet vibrant downtown Los Alamos. The beds were comfy, the house stayed nice and cool without AC, and we had a brilliant time, sunbathing and hot tubbing to our hearts’ content. It even had us dreaming of a world in which we could live in this gorgeous area of California. I can’t recommend enough. And for those of you who don’t love reading out of a manual (which isn’t me but still appreciated), there are cute yet informative frames throughout the house, explaining the ins and outs of the property and how to access to its full potential. And when we had questions, our delightful host, Sherry, was at the ready. Looking forward to our next stay!

Fantastic stay! Property and house were beautiful. We enjoyed eating outside - their outside loggia was beautiful. The house was well stocked and the kitchen was a great spot to cook. The beds were comfy and the tv room was fantastic. We probably played about 50 games of pool! TVs in almost every room. Dawn was a great host . She had a comprehensive info book about the property- which answered all our questions. We did wine tasting and three hikes within a half an hour from the house. My family loved the property.

Had a fantastic time at Dawn's place for our wedding weekend! House is well equipped, large and private. Could have spent our whole weekend on the ranch! Communication with the host was excellent. Top to bottom exceptionally comfortable. Walkable to the fun and funky little town of Los Alamos! We'll be back!
