Great location- property needs some love

First off, the location is beautiful! Incredible views and close to vineyards and Solvang. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch and looking at the scenery . The host provided a complimentary bottle of wine which was a fantastic way to start our trip. The property itself needs a little love. Wires hanging out of the walls, walls need a good wash down and/or a fresh coat of paint. The furniture is a bit worn. Not sure if it was due to holes in the screens but there were little fruit flies and gnats. The property manager did say the cleaning crew had to leave early and while nothing was terribly dirty it just seemed things were a bit overlooked. The dirty dishes were still in the dishwasher from the previous guests which we didn’t realize until we went to load it on the morning we were leaving and couldn’t load all of our dishes. There were some cigarette butts out on the patio. So while there wasn’t anything huge to complain about, the property could use a little love because it has the potential to be excellent.

Private ranch getaway

Situated on a private ranch nestled near Los Olivos we were able to enjoy a fantastic weekend in the lush greenscape the winter rains have provided this season. The views from the property are spectacular and it provided us the opportunity to relax in the countryside- yet take advantage of all of the wineries and restaurants in Santa Ynez valley close by. Nice property for a couple or a tight knit family to enjoy.

Beautiful view but not clean and needs work

The owner was friendly and beautiful view. Unfortunately the home is out of date and not clean. There were cobwebs throughout the house, the pantry had expired foods, when walking with bare feet you could feel the dirt, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty, the microwave needs cleaned, walls dirty and need painted, the bathroom shower needs cleaned as well as the shelves and light fixtures. There is no hot but at this property. And the landscaping at the bottom of the house was in disarray. To top it off we there was a mouse in the house. The bathroom sinks did not have hot water. The sectional sofa came apart every time you sat on it and under the sofa it was filthy (we tried to fix it). They could use a good electrician because there were extension cords throughout the house. The beds were poor quality. I would love to have given a better review but I believe the owners need to do a lot of work to bring this home up to what they are charging.

Outstanding retreat at the Wine Valley cottage

My wife and I have been fortunate to vacation at several spots around the world. I can honestly say that the Wine valley cottage is one of our favorites, truly, a peaceful oasis that can recharge the soul. Nick, the property manager and owner, is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He will go out of his way to ensure that you have whatever you need to enjoy your time there. The cottage has incredible views, and is close to everything you would need to enjoy your time up there. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Time waster - do not book!

2 weeks out from my stay the owner messaged me to say he was cancelling my reservation due to some issue with the property but did not cancel the reservation in VRBO. So I did not get my refund. He did not respond to any messages. I had to call VRBO a couple of times and finally got my refund way after the date of my stay. The property looks great from the photos but save yourself the hassle and book with an owner that actually pays attention to how VRBO works.

About the host

Hosted by D. Nicholas

My father purchased this piece of land in 1977 after years of visiting the area with family and friends for thanksgiving, camping trips, and trips to Lake Cachuma

It's said he would often venture away from the group to explore the far reaches of the Santa Ynez Valley , and just fell, I think, in love with the tranquility and rural old west feel of the area.

He would often refer to this property as paradise, my mom had other words for it.
(Boring).

For years there was much speculation if he could convince my mom to retire here voluntarily, leaving the suburbs and friends behind would certainly a challenge for her.

Finally, that day came, but her feelings had changed. She couldn't wait to leave her comfortable suburb lifestyle and embrace the rural, country life. If you ask her now, she will tell you that it was a happy exciting day, she says she never bothered looking back out the rear view mirror.

Why they chose this property

Being on this estate brings this feeling of unexplainable bliss and relaxation. Waking up and looking down onto the inversion layer makes you feel as if you are above the clouds. As the beautiful light pink hues fade and the sun begins to rise, you see birds and butterflies.

You feel the fresh, crisp air as you take your first sip of coffee and look out into the vastness of rolling hills.

After a day of novelty and adventure, wine tasting, or simply indulging in life, the breathtaking sunset captures you, providing you with an unexplainable serenity that leaves you in awe and a huge smile.

What makes this property unique

The privacy, peace, views, and location are incomparable. From the stunning, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, to the clear views of the bright moonlight and shining stars at night.

It is simply an experience that is priceless.
