Architectural Farmhouse Retreat in Downtown Los Olivos, "The Flying Pig"
Welcome to The Flying Pig in the heart of Los Olivos, walking distance to over 50 tasting rooms. This is truly a custom home, where every detail will inspire. The writer and artist owners spared no expense in creating a dreamland with modern interiors and enchanted garden rooms.
The Motto of The Flying Pig is “With our imaginations, we soar.” So whether you’re writing a screenplay or just curled up with a book in the wisteria draped veranda, The Flying Pig will leave you smiling and refreshed.
The front yard features a lovely butterfly garden with a central fountain, an 80 foot draping, Chinese Elm and a large, covered patio for dining and lounging.
The back of the property has multiple stone walled terraces and a massive stone stairway that guides you to the top of the extra deep lot where you’ll find a 24 ft long, wisteria draped gazebo for watching the sun set over the oak studded hills.
The garden was designed by Denise Montgomery one of Montecito’s most gifted landscape architects. She spent many months turning a challenging neglected lot into a show stopping garden.
The entire home and exterior, within the fenced property lines.
I`ll be available by phone, text or AIRBNB. Otherwise I give guests their space and privacy.

This property is very clean, modern, and well maintained. The host was very responsive and the information provided was clear and accurate. The hot tub is perfect for 3-4 max. This is also close proximity to downtown and tasting rooms and you can easily walk. The garden is lush. To top it off the fire pit is perfect for an evening with a glass of wine.
Property is gorgeous! Owner responded quickly and with all information we requested. This property is just 2 blocks from the main food, wine tasting and shopping area so we walked the entire visit. I would definitely stay here again!
This place is 10 out of 10!!! So cute, well appointed, charming, relaxing and steps from town. Absolutely perfect! Jordan was a great host too….quick replies!
We really enjoyed our stay. The grounds were beautiful very relaxing felt like our own private Idaho close to the town and short drive to wineries. We love the fire pit and jacuzzi .
This is one of the most unique, well appointed and creatively decorated homes that I have ever stayed in! Jordan thought of everything and the details make this place enchanting and magical… from the lighting, to the upper area dining pergola, the stunning landscaping, We were BLOWN away. We had an unforgettable stay. The location couldn’t be better, an easy walk to town, yet you felt like you were a million miles away within the retreat and gardens . Bravo this deserves 10 stars! We will definitely return !
We had an amazing experience at The Flying Pig! Jonathan in an incredible host and everything was 5-Star!! The location is very convenient to the center of town and the backyard is a peaceful area to relax and enjoy privacy. The home is beautifully decorated and we cannot wait to go back!
Nice quiet property close to every tourist attraction without staying close to the tourists. The house made the trip enjoyable with a 3 year old that still naps.
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at the Flying Pig. We played board games and relaxed in the hot tub. The house was so comfortable and clean as well as very convenient to Main Street and in Los Olivos. It was perfect!
"An exquisite and unspoiled location that boasts breathtaking beauty, offering a truly remarkable experience. This destination is equipped with a comprehensive range of amenities to ensure comfort and convenience for all visitors."
We loved our stay at the flying pig. The house was everything as advertised and more. The location is a great spot only two blocks from the main street and five minutes from Mattie’s Tavern where the wedding to place. We would absolutely stay here again.
What a great house! High quality furnishings, everything is very well done. Comfy beds, great front porch, and gorgeous back yard. Walking distance to everything. A gem in Los Olivos!
My family and I had a great stay at the property. Beautiful gardens and backyard were a huge plus. Beds were very comfortable. Note that the hot tub takes awhile to heat up so we lost a day of using that. Loved that it is literally a 30 second walk to all of downtown Los Olivos. Wonderful location. Thanks for a great stay Jordan!

Hi Sagan,
Thank you for the wonderful review! We loved your feedback and have now set the spa to 102 degrees so future guests won't have the same problem.
Hope to see you again!

It was our first trip to Los Olivos and it exceeded expectations. We’ve stayed in some wonderful VRBOs and this ranks right at the top. The photos of the home and property were professionally done and beautiful, and are a very accurate depiction of the immaculate home and idyllic property. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the upper level under the pergola, and wine by the amazing fire pit outside our bedroom. The jacuzzi hot tub was amazing and everything was so private and relaxing. The town is literally a short walk down the street. We are already looking forward to coming back someday not soon enough.
Los Olivos is a hidden gem to most and now that I have stayed at this lovely property I just can’t wait to return. I visit quite often and have many wine club memberships to local wineries. I’ve stayed at all the places - Fess Parker, Inn at Mattie’s Tavern along w other homes. This one is the golden ticket of the absolute best. Home is even better than pictures do it justice. Great communication w Jordan. If you are considering booking, do it. It’s my favorite place now!
This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The home was amazing. The property was stunning and the proximity to town can’t be beat. Jordan was excellent and accommodated us in a couple of things that we needed. We were all able to comfortably stay for a girls weekend, and enjoy ourselves without worrying about anything. I almost did not want to review the house because I don’t want anyone else coming here, that way it’s available for me anytime I want to go back! And I will be back!
Wow! Our stay was absolutely wonderful!
Talk about the most idyllic location possible! It doesn’t get any better than this! Just steps to the Main Street in Los Olivos where all of the restaurants and tasting rooms are located. We walked everywhere and didn’t need our car once!
The house was so charming! There was so much attention to detail from the decor to the landscaping. Absolutely beautiful! It had all the amenities one needs and more! The rooms are filled with fresh flowers and the beds are so comfortable. The outdoor space is magical with so many lovely places to sit and lounge amongst the beautiful landscaping.
We will definitely be back and recommending this place to all of our friends!

We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay at the Flying Pig! You're welcome back anytime!
3 family members spent 6 nights in this delightful oasis. The house and property look larger in the photos, but the house was perfect for three (can accommodate 4). The kitchen is modern but charming with top notch appliances harkening back to the 50’s decor. A full size washer/dryer is conveniently stacked and flush with the wall. The property is very special, with professional landscaping up the steep backyard leading to a charming pergola covered picnic table with ovehead light strings, and a cozy fire pit with chairs. The MB is huge, the queen room is smaller but lovely and both have sliding doors out to small outdoor patios from each room and the hot tub. The front porch is expansive and the daybed swing is the best place to relax. There is one bathroom but has everything you need including a huge shower. The manager Jason was so easy to work with and very responsive. We will definitely book again!
