You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pet friendly duplex apartment in downtown Santa Ynez!

Truly a unique getaway experience while staying in what is known as “A Sophisticated Cowboy Town” Santa Ynez. Here you will find the main street resembles an old movie set. Dotted with some of the valley’s best restaurants, charming shops, art, and a museum, you will have plenty to savor from your cozy hideout.

Breath in and relax as you enjoy this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home, with a lovely living space, fully equipped kitchen, and enclosed backyard that has outdoor seating and a BBQ. You can almost see the stagecoach passing under the mature oak trees that are nearby.

Steps Away Cottage has been fully renovated with newer flooring, fixtures, and amenities. Central Heat and A/C
Host pays the 12% TOT Tax, Not the guest!

Park the car and stay awhile while enjoying a walk to morning coffee and a stroll back, meandering through shops and country lanes. You could spend the entire time at your leisure as you experience the refuge of your stay. However, if you so desire, you are only moments away from all the wineries, European moments of Solvang, and wide-open spaces of the Santa Ynez Valley.

*Pet friendly! Pet fee-Per-pet

We do add a $25 per-pet-per night fee

We ask the following regarding pets:

- Dog must be crated when not with you

Super clean and comfortable home

Hats off to the owner for the clean aesthetic design of this home interior. Open concept, very tasteful house with fenced yard which was great for our pups.

Super cute duplex

We loved this cute little duplex in downtown. It was recently completely renovated and is very clean. We took our 3 dogs and 2 year old so the fenced in front and back yards were awesome. We will book with them again next year.
