About this property

The COOP - SYV

Howdy, welcome to The Coop! The Coop is a special place. We
poured our hearts into the remodeling and design of this space,
wishing that our guests would feel all the love and great energy
when spending time here. The Coop is a private sanctuary to
unwind, relax, and rejuvenate with your near and dear. Michael's
sensorial interior design is curated to feel like you've been
transported a world away with each different space that you enter.
Drive behind our private gate and the "girls" will welcome you to
the Coop, where they spend their days laying fresh eggs in their
stylish pen. They invite you to play corn hole or try your hand at
lassoing their cow folk friends. Continue into our farmhouse that is
rich with history as it was the first veterinarian clinic in this town.
The single-story farm has been transformed from its days of
helping ducks, horses, and even raccoons beginning in the 1950's
to a contemporary work of art. Enter the home and your eyes will
not know where to settle as they take in the eclectic interior
design.
The farmhouse itself is single story, three bedroom, two and a half
bath with ample, comfortable living spaces created specifically for
your stay. Be transported to Morocco in the master bedroom
featuring a king-sized bed and ensuite wet bath. Fergus, our
Scottish Highland, welcomes you with a kiss to the first queen bed guest room. The second guest bedroom as well has a queen
bed. The sunroom, just off the guest bedrooms and backyard, has
a queen sleeper sofa, rounding out to eight sleeping spots in the
house. The living room is plentiful with seating to gather around
and make memories or play good old-fashioned board games into
the wee hours of the night. Swing into the day in the sunroom
while spinning a record or reading from the New York Post stand.
Our gorgeous kitchen features full sized, Café series appliances
and is well appointed with all the needed instruments to create
and serve a delicious home cooked meal to your group. Made all
that much better that it can be served family style, and all gather
around the Coop’s long dining room table. This home also has
two sets of washers and dryers available to our guests.
Laze the afternoon away in the good ol’ boys club, the Coop tack
room, with two fingers of scotch and your best buds. Try your
hand at lassoing the cows in the corral or spark up a friendly
game of cornhole in the stall next door. And, yes, the “girls” are
judging you and your skills, haha.
Detached from the main house we also have our girl, Winnie. She
is a stylish Winnebago vintage mini trailer lounge. Style a
gorgeous charcuterie on one of our many cutting boards and
munch in style at Winnie’s vintage table. Or snuggle up on her
couch and read a book. Whatever you choose, you will be wowed
by Winnie’s vintage charm clashed with eclectic styling.
Be transported to Palm Springs in our trendy backyard. Picture
yourself in your sunhat, cocktail in hand, lounging the day away
on the sun beds. Take yourself back to grade school and work up
a sweat to jump into the pool on the hopscotch. Grab a delicious
baguette from Bob’s Well Bread and create the perfect picnic
lunch under the pergola.
Michael designed this incredible, one-of-a-kind home to be a
place of gathering. So please join us and create memories with
those that you love. We look forward to your stay!

Unhappy Visit

The place was very nice. Exactly as advertised. The down side of our trip was the refrigerator broke down. The owner responded immediately but the repair took a couple of days and we lost most of our food. We were not compensated for our loss. Instead we were told to get an ice chest. We feel we should have been compensated for our loss or provided an ice chest.

Almost amazing

We loved the original intent of the hosts to create a very unique and comfortable getaway. Unfortunately guests are not always thoughtful in caring for vacation rentals and The Coop has not been maintained in the manner it deserves. Even though the rates charged are premium, it felt like we were staying in a second tier property. I felt like we had a good connection with the manager and reported several of our concerns. The response was “well no one has ever complained about that”.

Beautiful, fun designed home

The house and property was great! Super fun decorating and inspiring. Great quiet, private location. Nice to have the pool and didn't need a view because the whole house was decorated so fun with great style and colors. Only thing--- the bathrooms could use some towel hooks, but this place was the best! We had a relaxing, quiet getaway. Great restaurants and shopping were a close drive.

Great house, decently appointed and the perfect spot for eating great food and wine tasting in the valley! Had to coerce communication from the property manager, which felt a little weird given we paid up front a month before the trip. All ended up well and we loved it, but no real communication and no guide/protocol book.

Bachelorette Party Perfection!

We had a wonderful bachelorette party weekend at this property! The house is exactly as described and the location is excellent. Walking distance to Bob's Well Bread and a short drive to several wineries and both downtown Santa Ynez and Los Olivos. I would absolutely recommend this place for a unique and fun girls weekend.

Very cute place in Solvang

This is a super cute place - totally looks like the pictures. There is a huge master bedroom and 2 smaller queen bedrooms. This isn't a house for those who want to be cozy at home - this is perfect for pool parties or any kind of gathering where you can hang out and use the awesome kitchen. It was cold and rainy during my visit so I was bummed we couldn't take advantage of the pool. The place is only a few minutes away from downtown Solvang, so it's a great location. It's also in a very quiet neighborhood. Note: there's a very friendly cat on the property who would run into the house any time we opened the door. We loved him!

What a joy!

We really loved this property weather we were lounging by the pool, playing cornhole or just hanging out there was ample space to stretch out, the girls were a real treat and provided us with eggs for breakfast i wooed them with a little guitar playing lol. Nestled close to los Olivos we had a amazing dinner at the wine merchant, bikes are available to ride and golf courses close to the property, we look forward to coming back and staying a bit longer, there is a old friendly cat that stayed around the house she was a great addition to the property you just have to be careful she will let herself in and loves to join the party, I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to relax with friends and family Thank you!

Extraordinary First Class Getaway

"The Coop" caught my eye when looking for a place to stay in the Santa Ynez Valley. You can tell that this unique property was created with love & curated with a playful sense of style. We stayed one chilly rainy February weekend, and Michael preheated the home for our arrival. Designed for gathering, there are cozy touches throughout: baskets of throw blankets to cuddle up, vintage parfait glasses & spoons for sundaes or rootbeer floats, a gourmet kitchen with everything you need to create the perfect meal, unique artwork, a newspaper stand turned vinyl turntable, and multiple common areas for conversation, wining, and dining. "The Coop" has a fun instagrammable character that would work well for a Bachelorette gathering. There are shiny new bikes, fantastic outdoor games (bags, jenga, lasso the cow), a curious flock of chickens and lots of personal touches throughout. It was too cold to swim, but the pool area will be GREAT once the weather warms up. We hope to visit again soon, and would recommend this place to anyone looking for an extra special one-of-a-kind get away with friends or family.
