About this property

Delightful Dutch Farmhouse with Guest House

A newly restored Dutch farmhouse, located on 5 gorgeous acres in Santa Ynez. You will soon see that Goodgame Ranch is a property right out of the movies! Close to town, this home features lush park-like grounds with a pool, spa, and a beautiful rustic barn and corral. This comfortably charming home is excellent for entertaining, inside and out, with unlimited attention to detail and plenty of amenities. There are three private rooms upstairs, two rooms with king beds and one room with two twin beds. The master bedroom features a flat screen television and full bath with shower and tub. Downstairs, guests can sleep on a sleeper sofa bed with full bath en suite. This is not a private room but the perfect arrangement for extra guests.
***Pool is not heated, inquire with host about heating the pool***

***Prior to the recent Santa Barbara County ordinance restricting short term rentals (30 days or less), this home has always been rented as a 5 bedroom property, with sleeper sofa in common area, accommodating up to 12 adults. Current code only allows 6 adults ( in 3 bedrooms)—additional children are allowed, up to maximum of 10. We abide by this ordinance. Rentals of 30 days or more allow up to 10 adults. We want to accurately disclose that this home is larger than a 3 bedroom home, for those seeking 31 days or more rentals.

Incredibly happy with our stay of a week at the ranch! All details were accounted for and Pam was a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. The highland cows were an absolute treat to have on the property and contributed to many smiles from everyone to stayed at the house. Centrally located, easy to walk to town to for a morning coffee or pastry, and excellent accommodations. Will be coming back again soon!

The property was absolutely beautiful and the perfect little weekend getaway. It’s also in a great location, super close to Solvang and Los Olivos. Everything was super clean and we enjoyed the bonus of being able to feed the cows! The pool was perfect for the summer heat as well.

We had 2 families staying at the house. 4 girls and 4 parents. The girls stayed in the guest house and the parents stayed in the main house. We were very comfortable and loved the location! We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the cows made it especially memorable. We would stay there again!!!

The Dutch Farmhouse is so charming with amazing grounds and lots of space. We spent a weekend with our daughters and their families and ended up spending most of our time at the house because we were so comfortable! The cows were an added bonus! Check-in and out instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Great Spot for Families

We chose this location for our stay for my siblings and dad (and their families) for a family wedding down the road. The space was wonderful for groups and kids as we all had our own space and areas the run around. The pool was wonderful and the yard was lush!

Perfect Stay for Santa Ynez

Pam’s house was so great. The pictures are great but the property is even better in person. There’s plenty of space and it’s centrally located for all you need/want to do in Santa Ynez. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

The Dutch Farmhouse was an excellent location for a gathering of some friends of mine. The house is beautiful. The grounds are spacious, and everything is maintained with the utmost care and love. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with. The check in and check out processes were clear and easy to execute. We would highly recommend this property for a small gathering of adults or maybe a large family.
