We really enjoyed hosting the Lofgren family coming all the way from Sweden. They were very friendly, and spent quite a bit of time in the pool. The weather was nice a warm and the nights are cool and refreshing. They were very neat and tidy and we can highly recommend them and hope that they will visit again.
This was a great place to stay for our visit to Santa Ynez, and Colin and Rosi are wonderful hosts. It's convenient to everything in the area, and peaceful and comfortable. Great spot for morning walks into town and to come back to after a day exploring. We would definitely recommend it, and hope to come back for another visit ourselves.

The Lawrences were wonderful guests, quiet and friendly. Their 2 golden retrievers were the friendliest and best behaved dogs
We can really recommend them, and look forward to their next visit.
We had a wonderful stay with Colin and Rosi. The house is cozy and met all of our expectations. Our hosts were gracious and helpful and were there for our many questions and with excellent recommendations for wineries and restaurants. The pool and spa were lovely.

Truly lovely people who seemed to enjoy exploring the valley and did quite a lot of different things. We hope to see them again when they come to Santa Ynez for another reunion.
Good location near wedding in Los Alamos and the pool was great in between wedding, food and family gatherings.
Thanks Colin & Rosi

A wonderful group of people and we really hope to see all of you again one day, even when there are no weddings to celebrate. Robert one of your group left a computer wall plug behind, if you want me to send it could you give me an address to send it to?
Colin & Rosi are friendly, helpful hosts! The house & surrounding property are clean & spacious with everything that our family needed for our stay here, including comfortable beds, sofa, WiFi, fridge, stove, dishes, utensils, microwave, coffee maker, washing machine/dryer, swimming pool, jacuzzi, etc. We truly enjoyed our stay here in this nice, peaceful town.
We enjoyed the beautiful setting in Santa Ynez as well as the roominess, convenience and comfort of our rental. We had everything we needed. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating and did everything for us to enjoy our stay. The pool was very refreshing and enjoyable on the warm days. Highly recommended.
Colin and Rosi were excellent hosts! The guest house was perfect for our New Years stay and were able to bring our 2 pups. The house was centrally located to wineries and Solvang. We will definitely be going back when it’s warmer so we can use the pool and spa!

Thank you for your very kind and gracious review. We enjoyed hosting you and your family and we hope you will come back in summer to enjoy the jacuzzi and sunshine.

It was our second time here and we are already planning a return trip. The setting could not be more beautiful (especially with the spring green all around!) and such a welcome change from the city. Truly a breath of fresh air!

Amy and her family are wonderful guests. We are hoping that they will visit again for their third visit. We can highly recommend them.
Greeted by warm and friendly hosts upon arrival. Everything was as described. Location is great with Santa Ynez, Solvang and Los Olivos all a short drive away. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and the beds and sofa were super comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool and hot tub as well. Would stay again and recommend. Thanks!

Sincere greetings from Santa Ynez
Hosts were lovely, the accommodations are as described, the pool is absolutely fantastic. We wanted a simple vacation -- a house with a pool so we could relax and the kids could splash around all day. This was perfect.

A wonderful family who we enjoyed hosting. We hope there will be another opportunity which will bring them back to the SY Valley.
We’ve stayed in the Santa Ynez Valley several times. Cooper’s Creek is in a great location and the hosts, Colin and Rosi, are lovely and welcoming. Perfect accommodations for a couple looking for a getaway in the Valley. Close to many good restaurants and tasting rooms in SY, Los Olivos and Solving. We’ll be back!

Ann and Bob were perfect guests who left the place very clean. They were friendly interesting, and easy to communicate with. We can recommend them and would be happy to have them visit again.
We travel with our two Great Dane boys Doc and Wyatt and it’s not always easy finding a place that allows them. We visit my mother in law once a year in solvang so this was a perfect spot in between! This area is great for walking! Colin and Rosi are anmazing host's and very helpful! Thank you for a great relaxing week!
