About this property

Santa Ynez Wine Country Farm House

Monthly Stays Only
Coming to our ranch is like taking a step back in time. Happy Canyon is 12 miles to the north of the Pacific Ocean and nestled in a peaceful corner of Santa Barbara County. As you drive to our property you will pass hillsides that are full of vineyards, near beautiful ranch estates. Our cottage is surrounded by an abundance of sunshine in an oak-studded landscape with beautiful grasslands. If you’re looking for space and peace we’ve got you covered. As you pull into the gate you will be mesmerized by the tranquility. Our farmhouse is private and has lots of outdoor areas to relax, whether you want to sip wine on the porch or read in a hammock or nestle up by the fireplace. Our nomadic cottage takes old farm charm and blends it perfectly with a modern edge. As you step into the cottage you will feel amazed by the simplicity of the sunshine beaming through the windows. Every detail of the furnishings and layout have been perfected to welcome you. Our area is home to six major vineyards and one active winery. We are in an agricultural area near working farms. The name Happy Canyon captures the way you feel here. We have the latest Wi-Fi available, along with a mesh router system, it’s the best we can get but sometimes it can be spotty. The internet service is Starlink. TV is a smart TV, just bring your own passwords. This is a non smoking property and we like to keep our neighbors happy with quiet time from 9pm to 9am. Until you are confirmed, rates are subject to change and remain open for other bookings. Check out our other listing too... Prop ID: 2520015

Picture book stay

From the moment we drove in, we knew this would be a magical stay. From the picturesque grounds to the cozy cottage to the super friendly staff it couldn’t get any better really. Being able to experience all the incredible benefits that come with being on a farm was amazing. Fresh farm eggs, amazing animals, fairy tree swing. All that was missing were the fairies :). 15 min from solvang and any cute town you’d want to shop in. Drive to the farm is peaceful and beautiful. Will definitely be staying here again in the near future!

Complete Bliss

From the moment we stepped out of the truck to unload and settle in, all stress and past thoughts of work and life just vanished. This place is magical and the owner and staff at the ranch are super sweet and helpful. They made us feel welcome immediately and asked if we wanted to join their Sunday night BBQ. We had a box of fresh eggs waiting for us in the guesthouse and they were fantastic. We highly recommend this place for a wonderful, beautiful, and relaxing get away. And the fact that the area has some super cute small towns with fantastic food and shops, not to mention great wine tasting, makes this place special. We'll be back, if they will have us. Best, Stephanie, Martin, Sophie, & Zeus

Magical Farm Stay

My family and I stayed at this beautiful property for four wonderful days and we cannot say enough great things about the property. My toddler and pug were in heaven exploring the property and the animals. The grounds are so immaculately maintained and the house is perfectly appointed with everything you need for a tranquil and comfortable stay. The best part of the stay was Adrian, Antonio, and Vanessa who live on and maintain the property. They are so sweet and welcoming and their dogs are the best! We already miss them! If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful, unplugged vacation, look no further! We will definitely be back.

fantastic stay

beautiful home on a lovely farm. a few blissful days away from the city (which we love) had such a great time just sitting under the old oak trees that we didn't even make it out much to the wineries etc. we had a great stay and if you are looking for quiet, you will too! AC, but we mostly enjoyed the breezes. no bathtub (kind of a bummer, I enjoy a soak on vacation) and one bathroom to share. ample space for our family of 4 with 2 teens. we mostly spent the days outdoors, lots of patio spaces and lawn. And our doggie Finn had a wonderful time too!

Cutest Farmhouse

We had the best time staying here! My kids (3 and 6) have already asked if we could go back and visit the horses and chickens they befriended during our short stay. My 6 year old loved playing Monopoly and there was so much space for all of us to hang out in while we were there. We even enjoyed eating dinner outside on the deck one night!

About the host

Hosted by Issa

Host profile image
Isabell and her family instantly fell in love with the wonderful Santa Ynez Valley. They bought the working cattle ranch in November 2020 in quaint and tranquil Happy Canyon with its amazing views of the San Rafael and Sierra Madre Mountains. They focused on the extensive renovations of the two traditional ranch houses and on preserving the unique character of the houses yet adding all modern amenities to provide a comfortable atmosphere. As of January 2022 they are super excited to start renting them out to visitors..
