Heritage House ~ Living Art ~ Steps from Bell St

Top rated by guests
Meet Heritage House — the oldest standing home in Los Alamos. Steps from Bell Street's tasting rooms, restaurants and shops, this artfully restored 1882 treasure offers fully fenced yard, lush courtyards, covered patios, fire pits, BBQs, & outdoor dining.
Slip into the deep clawfoot tub in the primary suite’s private bath, where a pedestal sink, pull chain commode and a stained glass window continue the home’s historic character. The dressing room creates a graceful buffer from the bedroom.
Shared by both upstairs bedrooms, this sunlit full bath is stocked with fresh towels and bath essentials. Playful tile mosaic and reading material joins the fun, with books on Marie Antoinette and her infamous "Eat Cake" line.
Enjoy this original restored clawfoot tub, rainfall shower, heated towel rail, and plenty of towels and toiletries.
Boudoir de Bouge, our first-floor primary suite: plush bedding, room-darkening curtains, a Ralph Lauren leather sofa, and an antique vanity. An adjoining dressing room leads to your private en suite bath.

About this house rental

RENAISSANCE IDEALS. PIONEER SPIRIT. A LITTLE MISCHIEF.

Welcome to Heritage House, the oldest standing home in Los Alamos (1882), restored as living art. Sleeping up to 10, with wildly original interiors, a swinging Bali bed, secret-feeling nooks, lush private courtyards and a little magic around every corner. Just steps from Bell Street's tasting rooms, restaurants and shops. Historic? Absolutely. Stuffy? Never. Intimate weddings and private events available by separate arrangement.



THE HOUSE — LIVING ART, MEANT TO BE LIVED IN

Step inside 144 years of California history, lovingly restored with a philosophy as old as the house itself: buy next to nothing new.

Original stained glass, century-old redwood, hand-carved woodwork, heirloom finds and unexpected art coexist with modern comforts and a healthy sense of humor. Every piece has a story. Nothing is cookie-cutter. Nothing is here merely to be admired.

This isn't a museum. It's a place to make memories.



A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

• The Bali Bed — A one-of-a-kind swinging daybed tucked into a wood-paneled covered patio. Read, nap, sip wine or do absolutely nothing.

• Kissing Cove — A cheeky little corner made for romance, photographs and stolen kisses.

• Named Rooms + Artistic Surprises — Distinctive spaces, original artwork, vintage treasures and playful details throughout.

• The Speakeasy — A dedicated bar area for cocktails, conversation and a little after-dark mischief.

• Smokey Joe — Our life-size stagecoach art installation out front. Yes, really.

• Thoughtful Comforts — Beautifully considered interiors, modern amenities and even a Toto bidet. Because we believe luxury and personality should coexist.



YOUR PRIVATE GARDEN WORLD

Step outside and discover an entirely different side of Heritage House.

• Lush Courtyards — Mature trees, climbing roses, garden seating and beautiful little places to disappear.

• Covered Patios — Shaded outdoor living spaces for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening wine.

• Fire Pit + BBQs — Gas and charcoal grills for outdoor dining, fireside conversation and long evenings under the stars.

• Outdoor Dining + Gathering Spaces — Outdoor furnishings, café lights and inviting places to share a meal.

• Wine Barrel Fountains — A little movement, a little music, and the soothing sound of water in the gardens.

The courtyards feel worlds away, yet you're only half a block from the heart of Los Alamos.



THE HERITAGE HOUSE WAY

We believe the most beautiful things are often the ones that already exist.

Heritage House was restored with an eco ethos and an obsession for giving extraordinary materials another life. Vintage and antique furnishings, salvaged architectural details and thoughtfully chosen reusable pieces are part of the experience.

We don't believe in buying "fast furniture" to make something beautiful.

Set a gorgeous table. Pour the wine. Use the good dishes. Celebrate beautifully.



LOS ALAMOS — RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

Los Alamos is one of California wine country's most charming, quirky little towns — historic, creative, wonderfully unpretentious and full of surprises.

• Walk to Bell Street's wine tasting rooms, restaurants, bakeries and boutiques

• Half a block from the historic 1880 Union Hotel

• Explore the town's galleries, vintage shops and distinctive local businesses

• Minutes to Santa Ynez Valley vineyards and wineries

• Easy access to Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Solvang and the surrounding wine country

ONE LAST THING



Add your good energy to this historic house. Drop a wish or intention into the Kissing Cove mail slot, where it disappears into the wall — a tribute to the treasures we discovered hidden within these walls during our 2024–25 restoration. Perhaps 150 years from now, someone will uncover the hopes and dreams of those who passed through these doors, adding their own chapter to the story of Heritage House.



Come make a little history of your own.

Overall this was a fantastic home to stay in during our weekend in Los Alamos. The space was clearly curated to create a unique experience for guests. Every corner of the home presented a new adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The home was also comfortable, spacious, and well stocked. The water temperature in the upstairs shower was a bit tough to manage. Hosts were very communicative and supportive. We will definitely stay here again!

We were attending a wedding at the 1880 Union Hotel. This property is just around the corner from the Hotel. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the Friday/Saturday events.

This house was built in the late 1800s and it has so much character. Location is great as it’s a quiet area yet close to wineries, SB, Solvang and Los Olivos. Host was very gracious. This house has a lot of character and highly recommend
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
We were in town for a wedding at 1880 Union and this was the perfect location. No AC, but town cools down at night and the house stays cool as long as you close up in the morning. We had no issues with heat and it was 90+ outside all weekend. House is beautiful and the hosts are very nice!
