Your OWN Private Refuge ON 10 Acres IN Santa Ynez

Enjoy your own private residence set on 10 acres centrally located to all of the Valley's finest restaurants, wineries and activities in this 2 bedroom 1 bath casita. Serene country setting set among horse ranches with striking mountain views, and yet just 1/2 mile from downtown Santa Ynez.! Country in the "city" -- the perfect location.
We are 3 miles from Los Olivos and 4 miles from Solvang.

All the comforts of home await you in this Spanish-style home complete with plaster walls, vaulted ceilings and terra cotta tile. It is completely private and separate from the main house where the owners reside with their 2 beloved dogs who are fenced in their own private yard.

There is a 43" Smart TV with Netflix and Prime Video, DirecTV service and a DVD player with a wide assortment of DVD's. High speed WiFi recently added. A secretary desk is the perfect place for your computer work.

The primary bedroom has a very comfortable King size bed to guarantee a wonderful night's sleep. Windows on either side of the bedroom provide views of the beautiful landscape. The second bedroom offers 2 twin beds which can be separated or combined to form one King size bed.

A fully stocked kitchen offers everything for the most industrious cook. Grind your coffee beans and enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch or on the back patio. Full spice rack and cooking oils make it easy to prepare dinner at home.
Dining for 4 in adjacent breakfast area.

A lovely patio includes a table for 4, additional seating and an outdoor grill. Your covered carport houses a sports locker of sports equipment and a basketball hoop sits across the driveway.

This is the perfect getaway for families and couples.

Absolutely the best!!!!

We had the best stay. The check in was simple and this place is absolutely beautiful. The home was decorated so beautifully. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was top notch and that’s coming from a bedding snob. Everything was convenient and we were close to everything we could possibly need.

Fabulous Casita!

We can't say enough about how wonderful our weekend at the casita in Santa Ynez was! Our hosts were warm, welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The casita and surroundings were just as expected, in fact the photos don't do justice. We are already looking at our calendar to book another stay!

Girls weekend!

Visiting Santa Ynez/Los Olivos is something I always look forward to! Our stay here was the icing on the cake! Lovely accommodations, which also included a large, private side patio for morning coffee, afternoon wine & snacks and evening wind down! Jeanne & Leo are incredible hosts! Everything was just perfect, and their property is incredible, centrally located and just beautiful! Thank you both for your hospitality and your impeccable property!

Fantastic Location!

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect and quiet for our Christmas get away! The hosts even decorated the casita for Christmas and left us apple cinnamon bread which we found to be very special. The fireplace was a nice touch and we loved having it on for the evenings. Overall, minus the ocassional dust bunnies...the stay was just what we needed.Thank you for having us!:)

Santa Ynez getaway with our puppy

Charming, comfortable guesthouse and an excellent location! We were there for a wedding at Koehler Winery, but it is close to everything, restaurants, wineries, shopping. Beautiful property, lots of trees, quiet and relaxing. The Hosts were very friendly and also helpful in recommending dog friendly breakfast locations. We highly recommend this Vrbo and would definitely stay there again.
