Layout of home is spacious and perfect for families traveling together. Both of our daughters, their husbands, and our 2-year-old granddaughter and 7-month-old grandson had plenty of options where to hang out and/or play indoors and outdoors. The 6-burner Thermador range, huge island and well-appointed kitchen gear are a chef’s or novice’s dream. A short 5-minute walk took us into Solvang where the pace is unrushed. Sunstone and Beckman Wineries were visited and given a thumb’s up. If you enjoy local history, don’t miss the Elverhoj Museum. It’s small, but well done and worth the modest admission fee. We will be back!

Our family vacation to Solvang was truly enhanced by our stay at this wonderful home! We were able to walk to downtown in 2 minutes, the home was well equipped with linens, toiletries, and the kitchen was very well stocked with every type of utensil, pans, dishes, etc. The huge yard was amazing! Our granddaughters loved being able to play outside, and we knew they were safe as it was securely enclosed. We loved all the seating, and the huge table that had plenty of room for all of us. The home itself is very unique in its layout, but was so perfect for all of us! Beds were comfy, there were plenty of towels, and the rooms were large and lots of dresser and storage space. The huge tub in the master bath was lovely! A few MINOR things that could be enhanced in the future (and these are only MY suggestions, not a critique!) would be to have a hand held shower head in all showers, and we definitely struggled a bit with getting HOT water in the kitchen for some reason. Communication with our host was really great

The house is amazing: gorgeous, large, and very well appointed. There is an additional casita with full kitchen, bedroom, 2 bathrooms. All rooms were very clean, well decorated, and every amenity we could ask for. The host was very welcoming and communicative, and made everything easy. The house even had beautiful Christmas decorations with a tree for us.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
We are owners and operators of Ingeborgs Danish Chocolate Factory and have either grown up here in Solvang or lived here for over 30 years. We've always loved hosting people here in the village to get away from the busy lifestyles our friends and family normally face daily. Please come here to take a breath and be our guests at the "Delfin Huset" The Dolphin House. Velkommen til Solvang.

Why they chose this property

This large piece of property is not only perfectly landscaped, but quietly set near the center of the village and ideally ready for that big family or close friends whom need some "Me" time.

What makes this property unique

The Dolphin House is large enough to either BBQ together outside, partake in Boccie, or huddle in a corner area and have some privacy.
