Anavo Farm's stylish sheep Retreat

The Anavo Farm Retreat is located in the heart of Santa Ynez wine country in the quiet village of Ballard. It's just a bike ride to Los Olivos and central to everything the Valley has to offer, yet it feels off the beaten path. This is a unique opportunity to stay in a "pinterest-worthy" renovated guest house, with only the sound of sheep, horses, and roosters crowing in the distance. We know it's hard to get away, and so you're experience needs to spectacular... and it will be! ** Follow us @ AnavoFarm for behind the scenes!**

Wonderful get-away
Such a peaceful spot, yet close to all the valley restaurants and wineries. The best part, sitting on the deck with wine and seeing the animals, the mountains, and sunset.

Wine and farm getaway
Wow, where do I start? This was one of the most unique properties we’ve stayed at for an extended wine weekend getaway. When we first arrived we were greeted by goats, llamas, and horses, which in my opinion was a wonderful welcome. The property itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed and decorated throughout. You can tell the owner, Jen really put her time and special touch to make the cottage feel like a special getaway for guests. She was so attentive to all our needs/requests, but still maintained a sense of privacy. In addition to the beautiful surroundings and property, there were special treats when we arrived, including a complimentary bottle of wine, delicious manchego cheese, and a basketful of various snacks. The refrigerator was also stocked with drinks, wine, and, our favorite, farm eggs! Although the kitchen is compact we made several meals during our stay with no problem at all and used the grill to cook dinners and roast some fresh vegetables we picked up from Finley Farms just down the road. The location is perfect and central to Santa Ynez Valley wineries, as well as dining options. We visited many wineries throughout the weekend and our furthest drive was under 30 minutes. Although the property is close to everything it’s still private and quiet. We took morning runs and enjoyed passing by farms, horses, grapevines, and other stunning properties. We had an amazing few days and can’t wait to visit Anavo Farm again soon!

Beautiful property
We loved this place! The deck with views and the animals, the fire pit and the privacy were amazing. The owner was very nice and easy to work with. We were disappointed in the bed. It’s a small queen on a platform on the floor with very little space to tip toe along the side to climb in and out. It’s in a crammed area off to the side of a second upstairs living room. There is a main living room downstairs. It should be a nice big bed in the upstairs with a sitting area to the side. Also could use drapes over the windows as we’re both light sensitive. We loved it, but not having a nice bed is why we can’t give 5 stars.

Centrally Located Tranquil Getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Anavo! The house is immaculate and stocked with everything one would need. There were many special touches that you won't find elsewhere. Welcoming wine, snacks, specialty coffee creamer, well stocked kitchen, 2 coffee makers, extensive toiletries, lap blankets, plush bedding, fireplace, TV with multiple streaming options...there are discrete notes throughout the house to help you figure things out as well as a lovely book about the history and use of the house. We would head out everyday for breakfast, come back and relax on the upstairs patio before heading out for wine tasting, shopping, etc. We loved the patios! It was so relaxing to just sit and watch the animals graze in the fields, the breeze blowing through the trees and grass. With all the recent CA rains, everything was so lush and green and just beautiful! Anavo is an ideal location, close to town, wineries, and eateries. Note that you are right next to the owner's private residence, so be respectful of their privacy. Jen was very respectful and considerate of ours. I would definitely stay here again!

A beautiful place to stay! We just loved it - the views, the animals and the place was wonderful! Great host and easy check in. Perfect for the 4 of us for a girls get away. Beds were so comfortable! Close to Los Olivos for dinner with lots of great options. Will definitely stay again when in the area. Thank you!!

Great farmhouse stay
Really loved this converted three-car garage into a two-story apartment - the decor and farmhouse appointments were really nice and we loved the natural light and brightness on the upper level especially. Also liked the outdoor spaces and all the views were spectacular. Great location for wine tasting and close to Solvang and Los Olivos restaurants.

A slice of heaven
I booked this amazing find for a weekend getaway with my husband. The experience was spectacular. The cottage is so beautifully decorated, from the furnishings to the art work to the cozy touches, that you feel so at home. The setting is breathtaking and serene, looking out onto the surrounding hills and farm land. It was such a treat to watch the animals (horses, alpacas, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs) graze and play throughout the day. There’s even food available to feed them! We loved it so much that we brought meals back to the cottage to enjoy on the patio, as opposed to at a restaurant. Jen is an incredible host - so personal, friendly, helpful and attentive. She has created a beautiful retreat filled with delicious complimentary local treats; environmentally-friendly toiletries; and the most thorough, useful, and high-quality guest guide filled with recommendations to nearby vineyards, eateries, hikes and activities. Her attention to detail was evident in every part of our experience. We can’t wait to return!
