Cute little 2 bed one bath casita on their property. It is next to but not connected to the main house where the hosts live. Everything was ex as curly as described, and they even provided a DELICIOUS loaf of sweet bread from a local market which our kids loved for breakfast each morning. Great spot for young families and people with dogs, they have a large property they can run around on. We met Jeanne one of the days and enjoyed chatting with her. Will definitely look to return here next time we’re in the area!

We had my daughter’s large wedding in Santa Ynez, I needed the perfect refuge and this was it! While it was remote and VERY QUIET, it was only minutes from everywhere. I can’t say enough about Leo and Jeanne! Lovely, friendly and answered all my questions! There was even a little baked cranberry loaf waiting for us. I will definitely be back!

This place was perfect for our needs. The property sits on 10 private acres, so it felt incredibly private, quiet, and safe, which we really appreciated. The home is single-level with no stairs, which made it ideal for my elderly parents and little blind dog- that alone makes this place a rare and special find. The house was secluded yet close to great retaurants, solvang,casino, wine tasting. Id like to go back soon.

Wonderful location and cute home. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. It was so nice to be able to walk the dog down the long country driveway and look at the mountains in one direction and the sunset in another. It is also very close to everything yet it feels like an oasis. The hosts are respectful of guests privacy but they were so hospitable and friendly and warm and ensured we had everything we needed. Hope to come back and stay again!

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by open space, it really felt like our own little retreat. Even though it’s tucked away and quiet, it was only a short drive to downtown Santa Ynez, wineries, and great places to eat.The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed mornings with coffee outside, taking in the fresh air and the views of the hills around us. It was such a relaxing and calming place to come back to after exploring the area.Check-in was easy, and the hosts were kind and responsive, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We left feeling rested and would definitely stay here again.

4th of July Getaway

Love going up to the Santa Ynez/Los Olivos area! Such a relaxing quiet place to go with lots of fun wineries to try when we want to go out and about. This is at least our 3rd time spending the 4th of July holiday up there away from all the loud illegal fireworks in our area that terrify our dogs (they love it up there too!).

Excellent week-long escape over my summer semester break

Exactly as advertised. Especially loved the choice of patios permitting sun-chasing (or avoiding) around the house. Plus, in an exceptionally windy spell we appreciated the ability to find sheltered areas. Wifi worked well, which was essential for my working vacation. As an anthropologist, I loved the new Chumash Museum in the Village only open for a month at the time of our visit. As a foodie, I was a hog in heaven spoiled for choice of fine restaurants, and vineyards, in the vicinity. If you have not been, a visit to the reconstructed historic Mission de la Purisima near Lompoc is a must. The period herb and plant garden there is incredible. The only improvement I would suggest is to re-paint the property number in fresh, larger numbers to make it more visible coming from the south. We, myself, friend Judy and my dog Dulce had a wonderful respite. Thanks to hosts Jeanne and Leo for sharing your ranchette with us and we hope to visit again soon.

Perfect casita in the Santa Ynez area!

The casita was perfect. Beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings. Quiet neighborhood and a beautiful property. It was wonderful to wake up to the sun coming over the mountains with the birds singing and the cows and horses surrounding the property. The owners were warm and welcoming and we really enjoyed the homemade bread they left for us as well as the snacks in the kitchen. We loved the beautiful fireplace as well. So relaxing! We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!
