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.

Memorable stay and views

A little slice of heaven- comfortable, clean, upscale and relaxing- all made for a great time. Easy access to town, but feel away in the country- many things to do or just watch the birds and horses! Thanks for an enjoyable stay

Beautiful Property

The house was very modern and comfortable inside, and the grounds were lovely. We enjoyed sitting out on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the fields on sunny mornings - listening to the birds and the various animals at nearby properties (roosters, goats, cows, horses). One morning we met some neighbors who were out walking their mini donkeys. All in all, a nice experience.

Wonderful!

Let’s talk about attention to detail! This was, without a doubt, the most beautiful property I have ever stayed at. From the moment I arrived, I could tell that every inch of this place was designed with care and precision. Honestly, I was a little hesitant to rent because the price was on the higher side, but it was absolutely worth it. Every little touch made the experience so special—even the squeegee in the shower was top-notch! I’ve never seen such thoughtful attention to even the smallest details. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Paradise

This place exceeded our expectations! The location is perfect for folks that want to relax, but be close to the city. The house is nice with cozy finishes, but the real charm comes from the yard. You’re surrounded by beautiful farmland. This means you get visits from adorable animals and critters.Todd was an incredible host with great communication and very detailed instructions on how to get the most of your stay.We’ll definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home. It was centrally located. The food recommendations were stellar. And the little details made it so comfortable. I mean a diffuser on the hair dryer... Floss picks! What a perfect place to stay when visiting Solvang.

So happy to have discovered this place!

First, communication with the owner was easy and comfortable. Second, the property was easy to get to. It is on a very interesting piece of land with a nice view, surrounded by horse properties, meadow-y hills, and beautiful trees.Third, the home is beautiful and welcoming and comfortable. Solvang can be quite chilly in the winter and it was great to be in a nice, cozy home. We met our adult kids there for Christmas and enjoyed the spacious open kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen is well equipped with nice appliances. We baked and decorated Christmas cookies all day and had no trouble at all with the oven. The only thing we had to bring from home was a standing mixer. So glad I asked the owner about that before we came! The bedrooms are also spacious and lovely with very comfortable beds. Not to mention that the bathrooms are well designed and beautiful.I highly recommend this home and its owners. We hope to stay here again.

A Home, not a rental...

This did not feel like a "vacation rental." It is a beautiful home that my family and I were fortunate enough to stay in. The check-in process was spelled out perfectly. There was even a comprehensive "Welcome" email that highlighted a lot of the local attractions. It was perfect for my family. Thank you for sharing it.

Fun, peaceful

My husband, my son, my son’s girlfriend and I enjoyed this well-equipped gem, which has everything you need for R&R, from cooking utensils to a variety of games. Reading the house copy of The Man Who Listens to Horses, by local author Monty Roberts who is perhaps the original horse whisperer, added to our appreciation of this beautiful area of California. Also enjoyable: the porch swing, star gazing, wine tasting and Gaviota Beach.

Such a cute place

We very much enjoyed our stay at this cute house. Everything was new and redone and really nice. It was fantastic to sit on the porch in the mornings and at night. We would definitely stay again. One suggestion - there was no microwave - which we needed. (Or we couldn’t find it). Not a big deal though.

Excellent Vacation Rental

This was the second time we booked this property. We had another superb vacation in this vacation rental. The property is exactly as it looks in photos. It is very clean, has been designed very carefully and has a lot of amenities. The property owners respond very fast to all questions and requests. The beautiful nature surrounding the property and the quality of this property combine for an excellent vacation rental.

Quiet luxury

Todd and Jodi's house is elevated country. The house is immaculate and luxurious without even a hint of pretentiousness. Every room is flooded with natural light, soft breezes, meadow and sky views. You're on a rural ranch but only minutes away from wonderful restaurants and wine tasting. Todd and Jodi offer a raft of great recommendations for enjoying the area. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We had a wonderful stay for 2 nights. Property was very clean and accessible. There are very helpful notes and labeling all over the house which allows you to get acclimated very quickly. The hot tub was a treat and the property itself is very quiet and private. We loved feeling like you were out in the cou try while being just a few minute drive to downtown. Hope yo stay again

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.
