We had a great time, this place was perfect. Secluded and cozy yet only a 10 minute drive from town. We were able to explore Solvang, Los Olivos and Buellton and even Los Alamos within short drives. Pet friendly although there is no fenced yard, but our dogs loved running in the fields by the vineyard. Be aware though if you have small dogs, there were coyotes and a bobcat on the property. Not surprising given the rural nature of the area. The house is well stocked, very comfortable and was perfect for our stay. The company managing the rental was very responsive to everything we needed. All in all a great trip!

Words truly can’t express how absolutely stunning this home is. We had the pleasure of celebrating our dear friend’s 50th birthday with a girls’ weekend in Solvang, and this beautiful property made the experience unforgettable.From the moment we arrived, the home felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. Every space was elegant yet inviting, making it the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and celebrate together.Evenings gathered around the outdoor fire pit quickly became some of our favorite memories, and after long days of wine tasting, soaking in the jacuzzi was the perfect way to unwind. Every detail contributed to a stay that felt both luxurious and effortlessly comfortable.We can’t recommend this home highly enough. It exceeded every expectation, and we’re already looking forward to returning for another unforgettable getaway. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place where lasting memories are made.
