Very beautiful setting. Lovely room which satisfied our needs for sleep and small meals.The owner advertises this as a working ranch. One can sit outside and enjoy the horses in the pasture as they graze.There is a table behind the barn building where you are staying next to the horse stalls that would be more enticing by a permanent patio with a sunshade. As it is, we found no use for it.Otherwise, laundry and check in were easy. The host left us a button to push for the access gate, and communication and exiting the property was great.

Little piece of heaven

We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay here. The owners are amazing and their animals are awesome. We couldn't have asked for a better place to be. The property is easy to get to, but close to town. There isn't much traffic noise from the highway. The location is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We loved being greeted by the horses each day.

Country Quiet

Everything was pretty great. This ADU is only 30' from the occupied horse stalls however NO bad smells and few flies! Quite wonderful to wake up the horse neighing. Very spacious, too. Our only drawback is that I'm short and bed was higher than I'm accustomed to

Peaceful

The property was more than expected. Being so close to the horses made it amazing. My wife, who grew up riding, loved it. Very peaceful and quiet. The unit is very nice and fully equipped. If you need a swimming pool and a short walk to restaurants, this is not the place for you. If you want to sit outside and enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the birds and watch the horses, then stay here!

Comfortable, modern apartment in a pleasant rural setting with horses and wildlife

My wife and I had an unexpectedly pleasant stay at this very comfortable apartment located in the middle of a small horse boarding facility located just far enough off the highway to make you feel like you are very far away from urban life. We booked the ranch escape at the last minute, thinking it was not what we really wanted but that it would make do. However, we enjoyed our stay so much that we will now put this property near the top of our list the next time we visit SB wine country! The property is bordered by long row of towering, columnar evergreens reminiscent of those you see in northern Italy. To the south is a view of the Santa Rita Hills. Though we're decidedly amateurs when it comes to birding, we identified a couple dozen bird species that live in the area by simply sitting on the patio each day and sipping our coffee or wine. Even the most distant wineries are only 20-30 minutes away, as are most of the good restaurants in the Santa Ynez Valley. The apartment itself has a comfortable king size bed, a nice kitchen, and a wifi system more than adequate to stream our favorite TV shows at night. Although the owner has chosen to use a real estate company to manage the facility, she was actually quite accessible and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting her. We look forward to our next stay at the Ranch Escape and think most of you will enjoy it too.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Contacted the hosts after our GPS took us down the wrong road. Host was kind enough to drive down, guide us to the cottage and get us settled in the room. Enjoyed talking with him the next morning about the ranch. Very nice! The place was so serene. Loved being around the horses. The cottage was well appointed, we lacked for nothing. Easy few minutes drive to Buellton and Solvang. Look forward to staying here again someday.

My husband and I wanted a get away weekend and found this charming home on a horse ranch. I loved seeing the horses every day and the owners were lovely. We had an opportunity to speak to the wife and husband on different occasions (as they live on the property too) and they were warm and engaging people. The home is a very spacious studio, the kitchen was well stocked, the bathroom was large and the main area had plenty of room to relax in. We had a lovely weekend in this home

What a Deal

This is such a hidden gem, I almost hate helping to bring it to the attention of others! Smooth check-in process thanks to clear communications from the property manager. An easy, central location with wineries in all directions. A warm, bucolic setting. A quiant, well-appointed room that blows doors off staying at some hotel.With all of this, the value was unmatched. It's a perfect place for a couple looking to get away for a few days.
