Great property for exploring Santa Ynez Valley

Greeted by warm and friendly hosts upon arrival. Everything was as described. Location is great with Santa Ynez, Solvang and Los Olivos all a short drive away. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and the beds and sofa were super comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool and hot tub as well. Would stay again and recommend. Thanks!

Very comfortable stay in Santa Ynez Valley

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this private spacious guest house adjacent to the host's home Colin and Rosi. They are a very nice welcoming and accommodating couple who have lived in the area for many years, and therefore knowledgeable with many recommendations to places to explore. We spent our 33rd anniversary here for 5 days, and this was a great location with multiple winerys/vineyards in the immediate vicinity. The Danish town of Solvang is 5 minutes away. It was also a great place to venture both north and south to explore places like Hearst Castle, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, and Santa Barbara. We would highly recommend staying here if interested in exploring this beautiful area.

4th of July Get-Away

We enjoyed our visit at Colin and Rosi's guesthouse. The location is great to visit the town of Santa Ynez (within walking distance), and easy trips to Los Olivos and Solvang. We enjoyed the peace and quiet there with our two dogs (lots of space to run around) and tasted some delicious wines from local wineries. Colin and Rosi are great hosts and welcomed us as soon as we got there and gave us a quick tour of the property and highlighted the local area. We had everything we needed and had a great time!! Thank you!

Wonderful property

This was a great place to stay for our visit to Santa Ynez, and Colin and Rosi are wonderful hosts. It's convenient to everything in the area, and peaceful and comfortable. Great spot for morning walks into town and to come back to after a day exploring. We would definitely recommend it, and hope to come back for another visit ourselves.

Just Great!

I spent Christmas 2023 at this beautiful guest house. It is comfortable, nicely appointed and perfectly located. I had my very senior dog with me and he was very comfortable as well. Colin and Rosi are the nicest people you could hope for and they took great care to ensure that we had all we needed. My pal who stayed in town thought the house was lovely as well. We cannot wait to return!

Restful retreat

My husband and I just spent three days in Santa Ynez and stayed at Colin and Rossi’s property. The property is peaceful, quiet and located within walking distance of Santa Ynez town. Colin and Rossi couldn’t have been more welcoming and genuine. They were so kind and friendly. We enjoyed two afternoons at the pool. The water was very clean and refreshing and two nights in the spa under the stars was heavenly. We had the pool and spa to ourselves and enjoyed a very private stay. Lovely place to get away from it all.

A fantastic property with amazing people

This was a top tier stay for me and my wife. Colin and Rosi were amazing they gave a tour of the property and a brief history about themselves. They also let the groomsmen (10 total) in the wedding party I was apart of a come over and get ready at their space. They offered to help every time they could. I don't think I have ever stayed with better host. I just want to thank them both for everything!

Perfect accommodations for a couple looking for a getaway in the Valley. Close to many good restaurants and tasting rooms in SY, Los Olivos and Solving. We’ll be back! Ann and Bob

Lovely property and owners

We enjoyed a relaxing stay in this very cozy, comfortable and clean apartment. There were thoughtful touches like reading lamps at the bedside, a towel warmer, coffee and other essentials. A nice patio outside is available with a table for eating and lounge chairs for enjoying the sun. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of outlets for charging electronics (a challenge in other rentsls). The owners are lovely, welcoming people-we enjoyed chatting with them and would stay here again if visiting the area in the future.

Easy 5-star Home Away From Home

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful place. This was our first stay in the Santa Ynez Valley and it was most enjoyable. The actual physical plant is attractive, clean and well equipped for a comfortable stay. We were a group of three. It will accommodate four. It is a cottage that is built on to a large house on five acres of beautiful hilltop. We met our hosts Colin and Rosi soon after arriving. They are very friendly and interesting to converse with. They were very kind to our two dogs, which was a comfort in itself. The cottage is equipped with everything that a traveler would need. Colin and Rosi have obviously given guest needs a lot of thought. Solvang is a short drive from here. While touristy, it is fun to explore . Special credit to Paula's Bakery, which has good food and service. Get there early or expect a wait. If you have to wait, do it. Also, for the motor-heads out there, there is a Vintage Motorcycle Museum , which is amazing. Over all, I would go back to this part of California, and especially to this property. Thanks to our hosts Colin and Rosi for making us so comfortable .

Why they chose this property

We love the people, the weather, the facilities. We have lived in many parts of the world and Santa Ynez is one of the very best. We have been in the valley for over 20 years. It is also warmer and drier here than at the California coast.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, secure, beautiful, great pool and spa, fully fenced, quiet road, a short walk or drive down to the village of Santa Ynez. Hiking, golfing, horse riding, tennis, gliding, cycling, all available nearby. Many great wineries and restaurants as well :)
