About this property

PRIVATE 2-Story Cottage with 2 fireplaces - 5 minute walk to Los Olivos!

Welcome! Our beautiful cottage is just a short 10 minute walk to the center of Los Olivos on our private 5 acre ranch. Drive through the gates, past the corrals, up the tree lined drive and enter our renovated cottage. (The cottage used to be a hunting cabin back in the 1960's and still retains all of it's charm.)
Enter into the living area with thick log walls original to cottage. You'll find hardwood floors and a wood burning fireplace that opens onto a dining area with a huge bay window. There's a complete kitchen with dark granite counters and marble floors, and a laundry/pantry room with your own washer & dryer. Tucked near the stairs is a fully equipped, renovated bathroom with a big, tiled shower and large fluffy towels. Off the dining area, there's a cozy bedroom with a queen size bed and views of the garden. Wander up the staircase and you will discover the perfect master-suite. Light the fireplace and sink into the queen size bed with down comforter for a fabulous night's sleep. Just steps away is the bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub framed by Carrara marble.
In the morning you can enjoy coffee on the front porch. In the afternoon, relax with a glass of wine, take a nap on the big porch swing, or hang out on the expansive private lawn.

Adjoining the porch is a deck with a wrought-iron table and BBQ. Off in the yard there is a picnic table under bistro lights if you prefer to dine al fresco.
For entertainment, the cottage has a 32 inch flatscreen TV in the living room with a Roku box that has Netflix, Amazon and HBO, among other streaming services (no live tv/cable).
There's a new dedicated Wifi network (updated 5/23) covering all of the house and grounds. Zoom and stream to your heart's content!


Cyclists are welcome! Los Olivos is a haven for cyclists. You can stash your bikes in our bike garage and if you need tools or air, we can help.

The cottage is short 1/2 mile from the town of Los Olivos. It is situated up on a hill surrounded by lawns, huge mature trees, and an occasional inquisitive horse in the nearby pastures. You won't see any neighbors or streetlights here. Close enough to pop into town but totally secluded for your privacy. SLEEPS 4 MAX. Basket of local information, winery tasting cards, etc, is located in the living area to help you plan and fill your days!

A beautiful stay in Los Olivos
The perfect place to stay while visiting Los Olivos! The setting is incredible with views of the mountains and pastures (horses and hens included!). We loved the place, 1 bedroom and bath downstairs, nice living area with a dining room, wonderfully appointed kitchen with washer and dryer, and another bedroom and bath upstairs. Comfy beds, nice towels, lovely seating area outside to relax. The place is about a mile to town and a beautiful place to walk. We ate at Bar Le Cote and highly recommend. Would love to come back and stay again! Thank you for such a wonderful getaway.

A Wonderful Escape in the Quiet Countryside
We have stayed at this property many times and we always look forward to "next time." It is a quiet paradise, perfect for two couples, well equipped and located in scenic and quiet countryside just outside Los Olivos. Beautiful at any time of the year, and John and Karen are amazing owners to work with. The house is well-equipped and very cozy...complete with wonderful fireplaces. We need nothing more for a wonderful getaway from the city.

Sweet cabin!
This beautiful cabin provided my family with the sweetest kind of reunion possible. The cabin was well stocked. We didn't have to think or worry about anything. Everything was in good working order, again taking away any concern or worry. From fireplace to fridge, all worked great. Beds were comfy, cabin was cozy, and we were happy. We hope to stay again next Christmas. Thank you for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
We are former Los Angeles/New York transplants who abandoned city life for the tranquil surroundings of Los Olivos.

Why they chose this property

The tasting rooms, galleries, and restaurants of our quaint town are only a 10 minute walk. There's biking, horseback riding, golf, tennis, theatre, movies, shopping, festivals, farmer's markets and more. Santa Barbara, “the American Riviera,' is a short 30 minute drive south. Beautiful beaches are even closer, and never crowded. And our Los Olivos cottage is located right in the middle of it all!
