Wedding Weekend

We were attending a wedding at the 1880 Union Hotel. This property is just around the corner from the Hotel. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the Friday/Saturday events.

Very historic house

This house was built in the late 1800s and it has so much character. Location is great as it’s a quiet area yet close to wineries, SB, Solvang and Los Olivos. Host was very gracious. This house has a lot of character and highly recommend

Perfect spot for the weekend

We were in town for a wedding at 1880 Union and this was the perfect location. No AC, but town cools down at night and the house stays cool as long as you close up in the morning. We had no issues with heat and it was 90+ outside all weekend. House is beautiful and the hosts are very nice!

Great hangout spot, tons of charm!

We loved our stay at the Roadhouse— it’s like staying in a piece of history but with comfortable modern amenities. The location was perfect for walking to everything in Los Alamos. The fire pit and outdoor living room (David Bowie picture) were a big hit. Friendly hosts with great communication. Would happily stay again!

Comfortable house.

We enjoyed our stay here. All the beds were very comfortable. We had 6 adults in the 3 bedrooms. The town is fun to visit. We were there for a wedding at the 1880 Union hotel. It is about a 1/2 block from the hotel and in the center of town.

A perfect Los Alamos stay!

Spent a weekend at the Los Alamos Roadhouse with a bunch of ladies and couldn't have been happier -- what a special, funky and comfortable spot for us all to congregate. With lots of sweet decorative touches and nooks to hang out, it was perfect for our group. The hosts accommodated all our needs and made us feel right at home in their space.

Lovely home in a fun hood

I came here with my fiancee and two other couples for a 4th of July getaway. The property was great and well-stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were very communicative and readily available. The town lost power at one point and we heard from the hosts very quickly with an ETA from the power company, etc. They had 100's of candles stashed and told us where to find them. Turned into a lovely dinner! Los Alamos itself is a quaint little town with a few good restaurants and lots of wine options. A fun getaway for a group of friends like us.

No Privacy

These people that rent this house are not owners of the house. They sub lease this house to make a profit. They have the Ring surveillance camera with out Acknowledge or consent of the guest/renter. . The guest have the right to be notified to be videoed/voice recorded with our consent and acknowledgment, which we did not. They constantly are spying on you, so they can charge you by stating you have had “unauthorized guest” this is there famous come up! Never felt so violated. It almost seems like they stay at the water tower on the same property and watch you! This is why you are not allowed to use or see it, even though it’s on the same property. It’s super weird. They waived to us during our stay. Like if we didn’t know it was them. The refrigerator is full of there food, leaving hardly any room for yours. The closets are full with there clothes again leaving no room for yours. Very baser. During our stay it was cold at night. The heater was programmed and did not work at night. They controlled this too. As if they didn’t charge enough to stay there. We were very cold and uncomfortable the 2 nights we stayed there. If you look at there reviews do you wonder why they only have 3? The locals in Los Alamos state they rent it out frequently. So not sure why they only have 3 reviews. It may be because when you walk in the have a summary of how they expect to be rated 5 star. I would definitely stay in Los Alamos again, but definitely never here nor would I recommend staying at The Roadhouse unless you want to be watched every second of your stay! Freaky!

Wonderful Warm Home!

We had such a lovely stay at the Los Alamos Roadhouse! My family and a few friends spend a lovely weekend here! The house is adorably decorated and has a very warm and welcoming energy! We had everything we needed for a few days of cooking, exploring the town, chats by the fire, paying darts, and relaxing. Excellent stay in a beautiful house with lovely hosts! Already planning our next trip back!
