Watch the sun set over the Pacific from the deck of this serene and completely private cottage overlooking the pristine Gaviota Coast, halfway between Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. The Tack Room is in close proximity to wine tasting, sight seeing, hiking and beautiful beaches. This land was formerly part of the Chumash tribal range.
The Tack Room offers the rare opportunity to stop the world while you contemplate the stars at night and the soaring raptors by day.

This little gem is tucked away in the middle of a working avocado orchard. The view of the rolling hills and Pacific Ocean is impeccable. We spent each night on the deck watching the sunset. Highly recommend and will return.
This is an escape on a small ranch in the hills overlooking the ocean.
Our hostess, Anna, was kind and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of.
There's a coral behind the house with beautiful horses. The house is surrounded by avocado trees and there's a pomegranate tree at the entrance to the property.
It's about a 2.5 mile walk to the nearest beach. The beach is so beautiful and great for walking.
We enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed staying at this hide-away and we'll be booking it in the future. It's a really cozy garden guest house with a great wrap-around overlooking an avocado grove and the Pacific in the distance. Quiet and secluded, but only a few minutes from Goleta and only a few more minutes from Santa Barbara. Bonus: nice beds and bedding and even fresh cut flowers upon arrival. Also, very good communication with the owner before and during our stay.
Our little family just returned from
Anna’s magical haven. Everything about it was perfect. Surrounded by 1,000 avocado trees in bloom, nestled into the private hilltop with views of the ocean, greeted warmly by our hostess - we couldn’t have asked for more. Looking forward to returning!
Nice location in the Avacado orchard.
Lots of hummingbirds feeding from the deck.
Owner was very a bery good communicator with me
The refurbished cozy large trailer could use some TLC, but overall loved staying for 2 nights.
Loved this property. Anna was fantastic and went above and beyond. I was sold on this property because of the porch. Morning coffee and humming birds. It's beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding area. Place was clean and comfortable. Just perfect. Hope to visit Anna again sometime !
Tranquil and remote, the Tack Room is a wonderful place to get away, relax and recharge. We loved the rustic-chic decor,
comfortable beds, gourmet kitchen, and large deck facing the ocean. Flower bouquets, freshly picked from the garden, added to the charm of the hillside cottage. We loved sitting on the deck, listening to the birds and the wind in the trees, while enjoying the expansive views. And we loved meeting our gracious host, Anna, who was sweet and helpful throughout the stay, and fascinating to talk to. Truly a memorable experience!
We had a lovely stay. The owner made us feel at home in this special place. Safe, quiet, and private. Surrounded by beauty. We will definitely come again.
The Tackroom is a beautiful little gem! Anna the host is lovely, so kind and very helpful. The place is tastefully done and comfortable. The views are spectacular and the setting is MAGICAL. We will be back!
Anna’s place was a wonderful retreat. The views are spectacular and the property is gorgeous. We also enjoyed meeting Anna, who kindly greeted us and showed us around. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Tack house views are unbelievable. Extremely comfortable and the owners were the best! Highly recommend this location.
