About this property

Santa Ynez Wine Country Escape

Our country home is located at the end of a quiet road on five acres with views of rolling hills, countryside, and horses. The home was completely remodeled in 2016 with a chef's kitchen, large island seating area, spacious living room, and high ceilings throughout. There's a clean, well-maintained hot tub under giant Eucalyptus trees. Enjoy fast wireless Internet (500Mbps), a full range of cable TV channels on two flat screen TVs, Sonos music and access to a number of streaming video services.

The five-acre property is home to many beautiful trees and lots of local wildlife including owls, woodpeckers, quail, bunnies and more! The Santa Ynez Valley reminds Jodi so much of Tuscany, where she spent so much time as a girl.

The guest and master bathrooms include doors to their own private meditation gardens. There is a king bed in the master bedroom and a queen bed in the guest bedroom. There is heat/AC in the home to ensure you stay comfortable on cold or exceptionally hot days.

The chef's kitchen features a 6 burner gas stove, electric oven, dishwasher, insinkerator, coffee maker and toaster. We're fully stocked with lots of plates, bowls, cups, glasses, silverware, pots, pans and everything you need to make full use of the kitchen. Make use of the Weber three-burner grill with side stove in the yard outside the kitchen.

Enjoy a glass of wine (or two, or three…) at night and watch for shooting stars from the tub or listen to our resident owl! Mornings are a favorite time for us at this house. Enjoy your preferred cuppa walking through the grounds, on the two-person porch swing outside of the master bedroom or take a morning stroll up the road to Solvang (30 min walk) and enjoy breakfast at its many yummy cafes!

We have given careful attention to our bedrooms and our beds are Casper mattresses with down-alternative mattress pads. Italian sheets and crisp linen comforters await your arrival. Both bathrooms lead to their own private garden areas where you can sit and soak up the sun or star gaze.

While we're located near the end of a quiet country road, the home is just a five-minute drive from Solvang and ten minutes from Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Buellton. There are some wonderful restaurants, horse ranches, and wineries a short drive from the property.

It is a heavenly place with wonderful energy. We really hope you enjoy it as much as we do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through this listing. We usually respond in less than an hour unless driving, sleeping or in meetings or other situations where we're offline.

This property is appropriate for four guests. While we love dogs, we do not make exceptions to our no pet policy. The kitchen does not include a microwave. The fireplace is decorative only.

Los Olivos Hillside Paradise
We loved everything about our stay! Everything was so clean it felt like we were the first guests ever. The location could not be better - minutes to to Los Olivos and Solvang but out in the country on a little hill. We loved hanging out on the long covered veranda or inside where the living space has an entire wall that opens to the outside (with a screen!). Everything is spacious and so comfortable. Two beautiful full baths and a powder room with laundry! Super nice sheets and bedding. Of all the places we stayed, we have never had everything so easy - all the light switches were even labeled as well as how to work the locks! There is also a little notebook about the house and places to go which I think every VRBO house should have. The host, Todd, was super responsive and could not have been more helpful and kind! You won't find a better spot in this area!!!

Excellent stay
We had a great stay at the property which is well manicured, clean, and comfortable. Ample room for two couples, great outdoor seating areas to enjoy the beautiful views. Wifi is spotty. Otherwise, all great.

Enjoyed our stay for the second time
This was our second visit to the Santa Ynez Valley as well as our stay at the property in the last year. It again was a wonderful place to stay (this time for two weeks) in a great setting with stellar views. While weather was cooler and more rainy than usual, which limited our use of the great outdoor spaces this time, it did not deter from our enjoyment of the area and the house. We hope to return again next year, without hesitation, for our winter getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Todd & Jodi

Host profile image
We love to travel and get out of the noise and frenzy of day-to-day life. Whenever we can, we prefer to stay in vacation rentals as the experience is so much more unique and grounded than staying in hotels. We've been short term rental guests more than 25 times (always with happy hosts). We're now thrilled to be listing our own property in the Santa Ynez Valley and to be able to share our most special place with guests.
