Relaxing & Super Clean. A wonderful space to enjoy after a fun day exploring SYV

We are Ideally located within the Santa Ynez/Solvang/Los Olivos area. A roughly 1200 sq ft guesthouse that can sleep up to 5 adults comfortably: Fast wifi internet and cable. A wonderful space for families or friends wanting a clean relaxing creative space near wineries and local towns. We place age appropriate toys in the guesthouse such as electric cars , pretend play kitchen and grocery store, stuffed animals, trainsets, etc.
There are two bedrooms with queen size beds and one twin xl day bed. in the large liivng room.
We provide eggs from our pet friendly hens, milk, bread, coffee, tea, juice and seasonal organic fruit from our garden for your meals. The space is arranged to provide our guests (families, couples, & friends) a wonderful experience that is memorable.
There is a large living room that has been decorated to provide a restorative environment with comfy furniture, a large TV with cable, a dinner table that has seating for 6. There is a well appointed kitchen, with pots, pans, plates, to commonly used cooking items such as cooking oil, spices, and breakfast items. There is a washer and dryer for use. The bedrooms are furnished with luxury linens. An immaculate clean home. We maintain a high standard regarding providing a clean home with a spotless bathroom that is supplied with toiletries. The guests' area has its own private patio space if guests want privacy away from the shared meditation garden. The private patio area has a gas grill for BBQ; and there is also a casual outdoor dining area. Fantastic space to view the night sky infused with stars. No light pollution, so if there isn't any cloud cover, this area is wonderful for viewing stars. There is plenty of room for children to play within the home, the private patio area, and in the meditation garden. We encourage guests to engage in chalk art on the concrete floors in the patio area. A relaxing activity for both young and old. We provide lots of toys, games. and crafts for children, an indoor tent with panda sleeping bags; and we even have an electric car (10 and younger) for children to tootle around the property. The highlight for most of our guests would be our very friendly chickens that roam around in the shared meditation garden. Our chickens are social, they know their names, and they love to be fed and cuddled. All our guests, young and older, tend to enjoy their contact with the chickens; and they feeling infused with joy and amazed at how personable the chickens can be. We often hear from guests how they loved the ability to hug a chicken and to hear them trill (like a cat's purr). However, if you fear chickens, or are not quite an animal person, then you can also ignore the chickens and still be able to enjoy the garden and home without any contact with the chickens.
There is a large driveway so we allow our guests up to three cars to park in our driveway while staying at the home. Exceptional Wifi quality (not easily found in the valley ) is via speedy cable.
If you are a young family with an infant, we have a pack and play with linens, a stroller, baby bath, high chair, play items. We encourage young children to engage in crafts, board games, and chalk art on the driveway or patio area. If you are a group of girlfriends or couples, we provide adult board games, and we encourage you to enjoy wine and meals in the garden and engage in chalk art in the patio area.
We have lots of suggestions for places to visit, wineries to consider, places to eat, areas to hike, bike, and swim. There is also plenty of space for storing any large items during your stay such as bikes. Cyclists may use the garage to store bikes, stands, and other equipment and to use the garage as a work space.
If you are coming into the area for bike riding, we can suggest many local trails. If you are coming into the area for wine tasting, we can make suggestions for boutique wine venues. If you are coming for a friend or family member's wedding, then we are very likely located near the wedding venue. We have been told by nearly all of our guests how central we are to everything in the Santa Ynez valley.
In order to provide safety for our chickens, we do not allow our guests to bring their pets without discussing the size and temperament of their pet. We do not allow pets bigger than 30 pounds, dogs that shed their fur or have a strong prey instinct. There is an additional $50 per day for owners who bring their pets to cover cleaning costs. We will waive the cleaning fee if after the guests leave we note that there isn't any damage or additional cleaning needed.
Our focus and goal is to support you in having a wonderful restorative time while visiting our fantastic Santa Ynez Valley.
Thank you for considering staying at our home.

Nice lovely weekend getaway
Lovely cottage home that was very clean and provided 4 adults plenty of space. We loved the hosts hospitality and extras such as: coffee, milk, fresh eggs, fresh fruit. The hosts had a nice greeting in the refrigerator upon our arrival. Enjoyed being tucked from town. Very quiet, breathtaking views throughout the property. Honestly, we would return!!! Thank you

An oasis
Visiting the Santa Ynez Valley for the first time, our family couldn’t have asked for a lovelier place to stay. Bev and Peter were the most welcoming and generous hosts. The accommodations were very comfortable with nice touches, like toys and games for kids, salon quality bath items and a stocked kitchen, including fresh eggs from their hens. Our daughter loved hanging out with the chickens, who know their names. And their garden is truly an oasis, filled with succulents, fruit trees and tranquil seating areas. They even shared some cuttings for us to plant in our own garden. In all ways, it was a great experience and we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful cottage on a beautiful property!
The cottage is perfect for a small group -- comfortable beds, plenty of space to spread out, a big enough kitchen to cook and all the kitchen equipment you could need. Nice touch of tea, coffee, fresh eggs, milk and even fresh fruit from the property. The location can't be beat for access to everything in the Santa Ynez valley. Highly recommend!

Great Stay for Birthday Weekend Getaway!
All of the 5/5 reviews I saw prior to booking were completely accurate! Peter and Bev were excellent hosts - very kind and accommodating. I had mentioned it was for a birthday and they had a bday sign, balloon and fresh roses waiting for us when we checked in. The cottage was cute and nicely appointed (the furnishings and bathroom even looked more updated than in the pics online). They had stocked the fridge with juice, milk, cream, oat milk, jam, honey, english muffins, fresh fruit from their trees and a dozen fresh eggs from their chickens. Enough for 3 adults for 2 full breakfasts and some to spare! Bev greeted us and handed off fresh figs she had just picked from her tree. The day we arrived the temp had just cooled down 30 degrees from the prior day so Peter came in and made sure the heaters were working as the early morning forecast was a chilly 35 degrees. The garden was lovely and the chicken were fun to feed and interact with. All in all it was a great stay - we couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I would highly recommend this cute spot (very convenient to Solvang, Los Olivos and wine tasting areas too!). I would stay here again!

Great time in Santa Ynez
We had the privilege of staying at this kid-friendly house in the Santa Ynez/Solvang area. The kids were loving every minute of the toys, electric cars, tricycle, and chickens. We also had a blast walking around downtown Solvang and feeding the ostriches and emus in Buellton. The hosts, Peter and Bev, are very kind and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

This lovely guest house was perfect for us (grandparents, adult children and toddler granddaughter). The play area, the remote control car, the sidewalk chalk and the chickens were all a HUGE HIT with our granddaughter. Peter and Bev were delightful hosts - very welcoming with a fridge magnet message and fresh food too! The place was clean, spacious, beds were comfortable. It was just right for us. Many thanks to Peter and Bev!

We had a quick visit to Solvang and Los Olivos and loved our stay. Peter and Bev are wonderful hosts and made the stay easy and memorable. From check in to the visits with the chickens in the mornings, every interaction was so pleasant. I’d definitely recommend especially for a family. Thanks for a great experience

Comfortable
We booked this place because it was close to the Santa Ynez Equestrian Center, so we were super happy with the location. It's in a nice neighborhood conveniently close to the market. We were on the go most of the time, so we weren't able to fully enjoy all the amenities or interact much with Paul and Bev. Paul was responsive to text messages and very accommodating of requests. We loved the large kitchen and sitting areas. The bathroom is small, so keep that in mind; also, there is no bathtub if you need one. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of towels and bedding around. Definitely more for a family in most ways (except the bathroom), so it was super spacious for the two of us. The parking area is on the property, so it's secure and convenient, particularly for loading and unloading, which we did a lot of. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Peter and Bev were amazing with their promptness in communicating. They wanted to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible and the kitchen was fully stocked as described, including the delicious fresh eggs. Great hosts, would definitely recommend!!! It was nice to walk in and find a welcoming message on the chalkboard 😀 **the only thing i would recommend is that if theres a 5th person sleeping there in the twin bed and you dont like your matress super duper firm, then bring a matress topper.

The space is large and clean. The decor is artsy and unique in the most wonderful way! Fresh eggs from the chickens, butter, milk and cream, nicely set up kitchen and sweet property all around with a lovely garden, fruit trees and chickens! We had a wonderful experience. The only small downside is the space is rather "live" and you can hear each other from room to room. No biggie though.

This property is beautiful, relaxing and perfect for families with young kids. There were fresh eggs from the chickens; oranges and grapes growing everywhere that you are welcome to pick; and an amazing electric car that my five year-old drove around in pretty much all day. The location is perfect--close to wineries and Solvang but also quiet and peaceful. Peter and Deb were gracious, easygoing hosts. We loved staying here.
