Excellent!
This is the best short term rental that we have stayed in yet! Very relaxing Santa Ynez ranch location, quiet and peaceful! The hosts were wonderful to work with and attentive to our stay. Enjoyed watching the local farmers tend the vineyards right outside the doors of "The Cottage", watching the ducks swim around the pond, and friendly greetings from the owners dogs. The place was exceptionally clean and the furnishings comfortable. Perfect getaway place from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Great location with beautiful scenery for two!
This adorable place is very clean and comfortable, with beautiful views of the surrounding vineyard, and mountain range in the distance. Modern, convenient, guest house is part of the larger barn in the vineyard. Lots of amenities provided: toiletries and paper products, fully equipped kitchen. The main living area has lots of natural light. There is even outdoor sitting areas with rocking chairs and an eating table with great views. The location is right down the road from Roblar and Vincent wineries. Short, convenient drive to Los Olivos or downtown Santa Ynez. Our hosts were wonderfully gracious and warm. They clearly take pride in their property and in making sure their guests feel welcomed and taken care of.
