About this property

The Ranch House in the Santa Ynez Valley

A favorite VRBO home for over two years. Beautiful ranch house located on 560 acre ranch property minutes from Buellton & Los Olivos. Recently renovated home. Centrally located within a 5 minute drive of multiple wineries. Enjoy the beautiful mountain views or sit on the porch & watch a beautiful sunset. You can go hiking on the miles of trails, enjoy a bottle of wine on top of a mountain and meet our horses. Traveling with a large group? Check out our other two rentals located here on the ranch. While this house offers complete privacy, please know that this is a working ranch.

Great house, great location, close to Solvang & Los Olivos

Spacious house and grounds and the owner was a great host and even got a fire ready for us in the fire pit, complete with s’mores! I’d stay here again. Conveniently located near wineries, Solvang and Chumash

Perfect Weekend in SB Wine Country

This property was the perfect stay for a birthday weekend with a few couples. Its convenient location is about 10-15mins from anywhere you would want to visit in the area. The ranch is a peaceful setting and the hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly. The home feels like it was remodeled recently and is exactly as photographed. 3 comfortable bedrooms and updated baths and kitchen. Will definitely be on our radar for future visits.

Birthday Getaway

This is a beautiful retreat! Great for morning and early evening walks. Beautiful scenery with horses, cows and birds. The house was perfect for 3 couples. Each room was large with a king size bed. The kitchen has new appliances and large island. We sat on the patio with the fire pit roaring in the morning and evening. It was a relaxing retreat. We went to solvang and it was about a 15 min drive. The owners were very kind and responded to any questions we had immediately. We will definitely stay here again.

I was ready to provide a 5 star review the 1st night. The property is amazing, the Ranch House is beautiful and our host was beyond gracious. Don't be surprised if your day starts with Palo Santo (one of the horses on the property) greeting you in the morning. Make sure you have some carrots or apples. He is the sweetest horse you will ever meet and he loves guests. Our interaction with that horse was memorable. The Ranch House is beyond comfortable. There isn't a bad room. No one will be disappointed. Spacious, modern and clean. Couldn't have ask for more. The property is close to some of the most beautiful wineries with rolling hills all around you. And lastly, our host was beyond accommodating. THANK YOU... Thank you for making feel us feel so welcome. We will be back.
