About this property

A California Classic Ranch House

Nestled between two popular Santa Rita Hills Appellation Vineyards, located on the west end of the Santa Ynez Valley and boasting 100 acres of unmatched privacy and 360-degree sweeping mountain views, Rio Vista Ranch is the ultimate vacation home. Originally built in 1941 by world-renowned California artist, Channing Peake, honeymooned at by Gregory Peck in 1955, frequented by Hollywood stars including Audrey Hepburn and featured in the classic family Disney Movie (“STUB, The Best Cowdog in the West”), Rio Vista Ranch is truly a historical masterpiece.

Take a step back in time to enjoy historic California Rancho life, with large open windows throughout, overlooking the property (and beyond), this bright modern ranch-style home is gently shaded by oak, sycamore, pine and walnut trees. Relax by the pond, embark on a walk through the verdant fields, ride your bike to the local vineyards, enjoy an al-fresco dinner under the trees or take a scenic ride into town (don’t forget to stop by the local Farm Stand on your way).

Rio Vista Ranch plus cottage comfortably accommodates 14 adults, with a total 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The fully-stocked quaint guest cottage is just steps away. With bright white walls, high-quality décor, and beautiful wood flooring throughout, this ranch was newly and intricately designed with comfort and style in mind. The gourmet chef’s kitchen vaunts brand new stainless-steel appliances with bar, kitchen and dining room seating to accommodate all of your friends and family.

Come, enjoy all that Rio Vista Ranch has to offer and don’t forget to ask us about our local recommendations for horseback-riding, bicycle rentals, wine tours and more!

The most beautiful rental property

Our entire group agreed that this house was the most beautiful VRBO we had ever stayed at. The house itself is spacious, thoughtfully decorated and designed, and it feels like you’re in a Nancy Meyers movie. There are beautiful views of the valley from the property, and the outdoor spaces really extend the livable areas of the space. If I’m ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying here.

An amazing experience

I booked this stay with a group of girls for a 30th birthday. The house was so amazing all I wanted to do was hang out there. The pictures are great, but don’t do it justice. It was like living in a Nancy Meyers movie. Jordan was very helpful throughout the checking in process and sent over some great local recommendations. The land itself was perfect for morning strolls and the beds were life changingly comfortable. I hope to return some day!

Amazing

This property is amazing. It’s beautiful, serene, and well kept. We had such a magical time celebrating a birthday. Jordan is incredible as far as hosts go. He is attentive, responsive, and so helpful. He made sure we had everything we need. It’s a magical place. 10/10 recommend. The grounds are beautiful, the location is superb. We loved it and are already planning to return. The photos are pretty but nothing can compare to the actual serenity of the location itself. The resources Jordan provides made booking everything from a chef to activities so easy. The kitchen is great for those who love to cook and there are so many warm and inviting spaces to spend time enjoying each other’s company. Book here, you’ll love it.
