About this property

Horse Ranch Guest House above a barn Near Los Olivos for Families & Friends

  • Welcome to our 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom guest house on a working horse ranch in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. Located above the barn, this peaceful retreat is a special place for couples, friends, and families to enjoy the charm of ranch life while staying close to the best of wine country. The property is also just a 15-minute walk to Los Olivos through a beautiful ranch neighborhood.

    Start your morning with coffee on the deck, where you can take in beautiful views of the Santa Ynez mountains and watch the horses enjoying their breakfast. Guests may also enjoy fresh eggs from our chickens during their stay, when available.

    The home features a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, dishes, essential spices, and cooking oils. For your convenience, there is also an in-unit washer and dryer and dishwasher.

    The primary bedroom offers a luxurious king bed with high-end linens, a TV for streaming your favorite shows, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower-over-tub. The second bedroom offers a cozy queen bed with premium linens, and a full bathroom is located right across the hall, also with a shower-over-tub. The home also includes a dining room and comfortable family room with another TV for streaming, relaxing, or spending time together.

    Outside, you’ll find a private seating area surrounded by the beauty of the ranch — perfect for quiet evenings, BBQing, and stargazing.

    This is a working ranch, so you may hear the sounds of horses, chickens, ducks, goats, and daily ranch activity throughout the day. The owners live on-site in the main home and are available to assist with any questions.

    Children are welcome. Please note that the home is located upstairs above the barn and does have a staircase. Because this is an active ranch property with animals nearby, children must be closely supervised by an adult at all times, especially when outside.

    For guests who would like a more hands-on ranch experience, please message us about seasonal add-on options. Depending on availability and the time of year, these may include meeting the animals, collecting your own eggs, roping lessons, children’s ranch activities, and coming soon, picking vegetables and flowers from your own garden.

    Please note:

    No pets allowed.
    Ranch experiences and animal activities are not automatically included and must be arranged in advance.
    Add-on experiences are seasonal and subject to availability.

    We hope you enjoy the serenity, beauty, and charm of ranch life during your stay.

Lovely stay on active horse ranch

The apartment was super comfortable, large and very well appointed. It is directly above the horse barn, and you can see horses in the corrals all around. An added bonus for me was that a foal was born while I was there! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Second stay

This place is fantastic. If you love horse, chickens, cows, barn cats, and working ranch experience with a homie rural living vibe this is the place. It’s conveniently located near Solvang with great dining and shopping. Also is near a quirky grocery store for picking up delicious snacks and prepared foods. The hosts are great, and the stay relaxing and easy going.

Horse farm near Los Olivos

My sister and her husband and I had a great stay. It is so peaceful to look out the window and watch the horses and chickens. An added bonus was fresh eggs. This isn't a fancy place, but comfortable and clean, and very well located. Very close to Los Olivos and not far from Solvang. Have recommended this place to friends.

This is our second time at this wonderful property. The house has everything we needed and we love all of the horses, cats and chickens. The host is responsive and flexible. Don’t be surprised if one of the adorable barn cats wants to come in for a pet and hang out to watch a movie. A charming and lovely place!

If you love horses, chickens and the outdoors this is the place for you. Los Olivos offers wine tasting venues, coffee shops and some restaurants. Loved the Los Olivos Grocery Store. They have great sushi, fine wine selection, and deli within walking distance.

The three of us spent two nights at this location for a wedding. Very friendly owner. Interesting location with the animals.There was a kitchen, but a non-functioning dishwasher. We were told it was not included in the description of the property. I got the impression that there was no intention to fix this. For the price we paid per night to stay here we could have stayed in a four star hotel. This was an adequate VBRO.

Beautiful area

We loved staying here. We will stay again. It is on a farm. Which we all loved and 3 of us are used to farm life. We loved the horses. The house was comfortable, beds are nice. Very clean. Owner, son in law, and the worker on the farm all very very nice. I didn't feel like we didn't have privacy. They all went about their work and when asked them questions they are more than nice. We hope to stay again.

Fresh Eggs and Horces

This is our second time staying on the property. It’s an easy walk to downtown Los Olivos. And an easier walk to the Los Olivos Gourmet Grocery Store. Winery’s can be found throughout the area. We loved hearing the horses ninny and the chickens cluck. The accommodations are above the horse barn which is very cool. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms had all you needed. We really appreciated all the kitchen towels, fresh eggs, and goodies provided.

Unique and amazing place! Horses, cats, chickens, etc. too!

The check in was easy, we loved the beautiful house over a working barn, the ambiance of a true working horse ranch was amazing. Everything inside worked perfectly, and outside was charming, fun and unique. If you like to see incredible and rare horses, this VRBO has to be the best in the world! The ranch is large, and you have it all to yourselves (except for the people taking care of the animals.) Bonus is how close it is to Los Olivos, Solvang, and the Chumash casino. We went to all three.

We had the best time staying at Tiffany and Kevin’s horse ranch. The setting was perfect. The property is situated in a beautiful country setting . Chicken, horses and cats. As animal lovers, it was perfect for us. The unit isn’t fancy but it’s clean and has everything included that you could need. We would highly recommend . The owners were lovely people and helpful with local recommendations!

Special place to stay on a working horse farm

We were delighted to pull into a beautiful working horse farm at the edge of town. It's quiet at night, and dark enough to get a beautiful view of the stars. Super friendly cats! The unit is clean, has everything we needed to cook up a breakfast, and offerred a nice place to rest in between wine tastings. We were lucky enough to see a SpaceX rocket launch from Vandenburg AFB. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. A grocery store/deli is literally a 2 block walk away. We all agreed we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch. The two bedroom/two bath apartment, located above a barn, was spacious and had plenty of room for two couples. The beds were comfortable and the place was well equipped. The views were wonderful, with horses as far as you could see along with other ranch animals. We even used the BBQ one evening which worked great. The Los Olivos market is walking distance and was quite convenient. There were many wineries close by, and the town of Los Olivos was just around the corner. Our favorite part, were the friendly horses, including a 7 month old colt right outside the barn. We will definitely be back!

The little horse barn in Los Olivas

The property was as described, a charming, working horse property with plenty of horses and chickens. Great quiet location and close to both Santa Ynez and Los Olivas.The place could use some TLC, yet everything was clean and functioning properly. In the middle of watching a DVD Saturday night, the power went off suddenly. We lookout the window to the main house and it had power. The host did get the power turned back on. But after that, the DVD would not stay on.
