What a beautiful property! It was pure magic with a gourmet kitchen, amazing decor and tranformative views from every angle placed in the center of an active winery. The pictures do not do this property justice- highly recommend!!!

This is the 2nd time we stayed here, and it is as lovely and peaceful as ever. The patio is incredibly vast and well appointed with various seating areas, cushions, sun shades, and provides a front row seat to the vineyard. The gourmet kitchen is a dream to cook in and dine on exceptional dishes. The master shower is amazing and the best shower of all the rental properties we have ever visited. Brander vineyards has an excellent reputation (love their sauvignon blancs!) and we enjoyed the complimentary tasting as well as the special gifts upon arrival to the home. Michele was very responsive and quickly resolved a minor internet issue we had one day.We loved the privacy and tranquility of this property.

Fantastic Vineyard Ranch House

We visited Los Olivos and were lucky enough to stay at this fantastic ranch house in the middle of a vineyard. House was amazing with gourmet kitchen that’s fully appointed for hosting multiple course meals. Would 100% stay here again.

Best VRBO ever

Great week in Los Olivos area. The vineyard house was wonderful. Huge back patio area overlooking Brander Vineyard/ winery. Loved the heated floors in bathroom, great artwork in home, great kitchen with Sharp knives. Loved the wolf range with griddle (pancakes were great). Very nice sound system throughout living area and outdoors (easy to blue tooth). Great location!

Surrounded by beautiful vineyards, the home is a very nice hacienda. The kitchen was big enough to cook for the multitudes but since we are chefs, we could have used a few more pots and pans. There was only one small measuring cup and the addition of some pasta size bowls would be great. Sharper knives would be a help also and a proper lemon squeezer would also be a welcome addition. There is a huge patio, fireplace, lots of sitting areas; however the cushions could use a little freshening up. The bed in the smaller bedroom is very creaky while getting out of bed. Nice bathrooms.

We chose the property because it was close to a venue for a wedding we were attending. We met Michelle as we were checking in and she was so accommodating and available for anything we needed during our stay. We absolutely enjoyed the house, with it's amazing kitchen and the back patio where we cooked out, relaxed and played some ping pong . In between the wedding events we attended nearby we had time to relax and also walk through the vineyard to the Brander Tasting room, which we loved! Overall it was an incredible stay and we have already shared and recommended the property to some friends!

The property was situated overlooking a winery, so the views were lovely and peaceful. Check-in was fairly easy, except the description about what door to go to took a little figuring out. The house was artfully decorated, and the kitchen was well-equipped. When we notified Michele that there was no blender in the kitchen as described in the listing, she ran out and bought one and brought it over! Michele was a delightful host, and we loved the property. Two minor suggestions for improvements: Level out the driveway leading to the house from the gated roadway. The steep drop and rocky terrain makes it a bit difficult to navigate that part of the driveway. Also, the hair dryer would not fit into any of the plugs above the sink in the Master BR because the outlets were too close to the sink. Perhaps you can find a hair dryer with a more compact plug? Thank you for a fabulous stay!!! We hope to be back!

The home is in an excellent location close to downtown Los Olivos. The house is part of the Brander winery property and the backyard deck/patio overlooks the Brander vineyard and winery. The kitchen is fabulous. Two sinks and two dishwashers! Lots of plates, utensils, cups, pans. The showers have lots of water flow/pressure. Despite it having been hot outside during our stay and there being no air conditioning in the house, the house kept very cool. There was a bluetooth speaker available for playing music. There is nothing not to like!

High Quality Rental

Everything in the house is high quality, and you will have everything you might need for your stay. The patio is nothing less than spectacular. We actually spent more time in the house than we planned because sitting on the patio and taking in the view was such a relaxing experience. The proximity (walking distance) to the market was a big added plus. We would definitely rent this home again.

Amazing Location

How else can you describe staying in a home that is in the middle of a vineyard other than amazing. The home is comfortable, the kitchen a cooks dream, it has the equivalent of 2 bedrooms en suite, and the location Is perfect. It was close to most everything we wanted to see and visit. Michelle is responsive and gives excellent direction regarding the home, location, etc. I can’t say enough how wonderful the view is from the deck area. If you enjoy staying in a home that is well loved and unique, than this is where you should stay.

Anniversary getaway

This was hands down, the best place we’ve ever stayed at. A uniquely curated home over looking a vineyard with 180* views. The home is a chefs dream with pro range and open concept kitchen. We went for our anniversary and had reservations at a nice restaurant but ended up making dinner just to soak up the beauty of the place. 2 bedrooms on either side of house with own bathrooms so perfect for 2 couples. Master bath is to die for! All thoughtfully stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials in case you forgot something. Did I mentioned the art!?!?! Absolutely loved this place and been raving to everyone about it. Can’t wait to go back!
