About this property

Architectural Farmhouse Retreat in Downtown Los Olivos, "The Flying Pig"

Welcome to The Flying Pig, where the imagination soars. Whether you’re a writer or artist or just someone looking for a one of a kind getaway in downtown Los Olivos, walking distance to over 50 tasting rooms, this completely restored oasis will delight and inspire.

Created by an Emmy Award winning writer and renowned artist, The Flying Pig is a destination unto itself. The owners have renovated several historic properties, featured in magazines, television and Ralph Lauren adds, the Flying Pig is their first home ever offered for short term vacations.

This 1,100 square foot, two bedroom, one bath modern farmhouse features over 700 hundred square feet of covered verandas, multiple French doors and a whimsical, bamboo encircled, Jacuzzi. There is a gas fireplace as well as window seats, oak flooring, new chef’s kitchen, a separate charming bunkhouse, an extra large primary bedroom with walk in closet.
The bathroom features a 200 year old English pine hutch as well as a luxurious 4 outlet shower.

Every room is graced with a private patio. The primary patio features a beautiful gas firepit, hand forged by an artist ironsmith. 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 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 20 ft long, wisteria draped gazebo where you’ll watch the sun set over the Los Olivos oak studded hills.

The Flying Pig can be yours for a weekend or a year. She comes elegantly furnished, with all the amenities to settle in or soar. You deserve it!

Great house and Great Location

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.

Can’t wait to return

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!

Heavenly Haven

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!

I don’t want anyone else to come!

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!

Great stay

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!

Absolutely stunning!!!

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!

A Secret Haven of Rest, Reflection, and Blissful Perfection

I recently stayed at the Flying Pig cottage in Los Olivos, a place I can only describe as my personal Shangri-La. After a long, emotionally taxing day, I was in dire need of rest and a space to collect my thoughts, and this place provided just that. From the moment I stepped through the front door, I was enveloped by a sense of tranquility and a sense of wonder. The house was immaculately clean, and the tasteful decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere, a perfect harmony of comfort and style. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens fresh and the pillows plush, making it easy to drift off into a peaceful slumber. Best of all for me, the house was situated in a quiet neighborhood, which was a welcome respite from the city chaos. The silence was soothing, allowing me to rest and wake up refreshed. The host has clearly put a lot of thought into ensuring the comfort of guests. From the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy reading nook, it felt like every detail was designed with my comfort in mind. The jacuzzi, nestled in a black bamboo garden, was perfectly heated and ready when I arrived. The world-class gardens were a sight to behold, and the proximity to live music, 50 wine tasting rooms, Michelin restaurants, and the best local coffee shop practically next door was a major plus. It was worth every penny, offering an experience you’d find you’d find in places like Napa or Carmel for twice the price. My stay at the Flying Pig was exactly what I needed.
