We had such a wonderful stay here for my friend’s bachelorette weekend. The ranch is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by gorgeous Santa Barbara scenery. It felt wonderfully private and removed from everything while still being convenient to all the places we wanted to visit.The house and guest spaces gave our group of 9 room to spread out, relax, and spend time together, and the setting made the whole weekend feel really special. It was the perfect home base for our trips to Los Olivos, Solvang, and the surrounding wine country, but we also genuinely enjoyed just being at the property.A beautiful and memorable place for a group getaway. We would happily stay here again!

There was so much to do for the kids, the pool was a great addition! Michelle was so communicative and great to work with.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The home was very well kept, thoughtfully maintained, and had so much charm. Everything felt clean and cared for, and the property itself was lovely.Communication with the hosts was excellent throughout our stay. They were responsive, kind, and easy to work with, which made the experience very smooth.Unfortunately, we happened to visit during a heatwave, which made things more challenging than expected. The property does not have air conditioning, as noted in the listing, but given the unusually high temperatures, we unfortunately were not able to comfortably use the entire property as we had originally planned. We also experienced a minor ant issue, although we suspect this was more related to the extreme heat than anything to do with the property itself.Overall, we really appreciated the beauty and care that went into this home, as well as the excellent hospitality and communication. Under more typical weather conditions, we would absolutely have enjoyed being able to take full advantage of everything the property has to offer. We would happily recommend it to others.

I would rate the property and rental process a solid 9 /10. The owner was very nice upon our arrival and the property management was a pleasure to work with. The location was amazing! The sunsets were incredible! Enjoying a cup of coffee, poolside, watching the sunrise was just what I needed! Feedback was provided to tighten up guest experience at this property. That being said, our group absolutely loved the property and would recommend!
