Fabulous Casita!

We can't say enough about how wonderful our weekend at the casita in Santa Ynez was! Our hosts were warm, welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The casita and surroundings were just as expected, in fact the photos don't do justice. We are already looking at our calendar to book another stay!

Absolutely the best!!!!

We had the best stay. The check in was simple and this place is absolutely beautiful. The home was decorated so beautifully. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was top notch and that’s coming from a bedding snob. Everything was convenient and we were close to everything we could possibly need.

Perfect casita in the Santa Ynez area!

The casita was perfect. Beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings. Quiet neighborhood and a beautiful property. It was wonderful to wake up to the sun coming over the mountains with the birds singing and the cows and horses surrounding the property. The owners were warm and welcoming and we really enjoyed the homemade bread they left for us as well as the snacks in the kitchen. We loved the beautiful fireplace as well. So relaxing! We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

New Year's Getaway

We had a wonderful stay with our two dogs over the New Year's holiday. Jeanne and Leo were great hosts and were friendly and welcoming. Their property has a great location and everything we needed--it was just about perfect for us (absolutely the ONLY thing that was missing was a fenced in yard for the dogs), but they had plenty of room to run around and the property was well back from the street, so it wasn't an issue. We've already booked a return trip since we enjoy the area so much, and this property really does fit our needs so well. We're already looking forward to being back up there later in the year!

Fantastic Location!

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect and quiet for our Christmas get away! The hosts even decorated the casita for Christmas and left us apple cinnamon bread which we found to be very special. The fireplace was a nice touch and we loved having it on for the evenings. Overall, minus the ocassional dust bunnies...the stay was just what we needed.Thank you for having us!:)

Great Family Getaway

This was the perfect place for a quiet stay after a busy holiday. It was our family of 4 and our Goldendoodle. There was plenty of room in the casita and tons of space for our dog to play outside. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The casita is in a great location. It has a full kitchen with everything you would need but it is a quick drive to restaurants, shopping and wine tasting if you feel like going out. Everything was very clean and the hosts were welcoming.

Our second stay

This was the second stay this year for my wife and I with our Frenchie, and like our first stay, it was worth every penny. We were welcomed with a little welcome note and congratulations balloon for our nuptials which was very sweet. As well as another delicious sweet bread.The property is very peaceful and quiet, and you can see lots of stars on a clear night. The casita was very clean and welcoming as usual, with plenty of extra blankets and towels if you need them. The water pressure in the shower was also amazing. The town is a short few minute drive with plenty of delicious restaurants. I personally highly recommend Dos Carlitos (great food and large portions).In short, we love this place as well as Jeanne and Leo’s hospitality and dog friendly property. We will definitely return for a third time in the future. Thank you again Jeanne and Leo! Look forward to our future visit

GREAT PLACE

We had a wonderful stay! Took our dog, which worked out really well. The property is 10 acre's and fully fenced, so walking with our dog in the morning was perfect. Host's left a wonderful fresh apple coffee cake for us, and some coffee beans, half and half, and butter. It felt just like home

Cozy casita

I really enjoyed my stay, which was just me and my dog. Enjoyed walking on the grounds and seeing the different animals, and the casita itself is warm and cozy, has everything you need. Very peaceful. Jeanne made me feel very welcome, like a friend staying at their place. All the nearby towns are within 10 minutes and there are tons of wineries in close proximity, so plenty to do. I hope to go back again soon!

This is a must if you're visiting the area!

We loved our stay at the Glover's Casita. It's really convenient to downtown Santa Ynez and short drive to Los Olivos and Solvang. The drive to any of these locations is beautiful through ranch land and rolling hills. The Casita is idyllic and we'd love to stay there again sometime. It has everything and so nicely decorated. Thank you!

Perfect Santa Ynez Getaway

My husband and I brought our two dogs for a long weekend in Santa Ynez, and this property was perfect for us. It was quiet, beautiful, private, and all within a nice walk to downtown Santa Ynez. Leo and Jeanne are the best hosts. They even had blueberry scones in the fridge for us, which was such a pleasant surprise when arrived hungry after a long drive. We hope to be back soon to explore more places in the area. Highly recommend.

Serenity Now

We stayed three nights at the casita. It was wonderful to have nature around us and all the comforts of home. I enjoyed the beautiful tile floors and ranch decor as well as the lush grass surrounding the casita. The whole environment was relaxing and serene. Our dog was happy and comfortable, he loved walking and sniffing around the property. There were beautiful animals on neighboring properties that we saw on our walks too. We visited nearby towns-Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and Solvang. Went to several wineries. The location is perfect and the accommodations couldn't be better. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation away from everyday life.

Santa Ynez getaway with our puppy

Charming, comfortable guesthouse and an excellent location! We were there for a wedding at Koehler Winery, but it is close to everything, restaurants, wineries, shopping. Beautiful property, lots of trees, quiet and relaxing. The Hosts were very friendly and also helpful in recommending dog friendly breakfast locations. We highly recommend this Vrbo and would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Casita in Santa Ynez

Thank you to amazing hosts Jeanne and Leo for a great stay in Santa Ynez. The Casita was perfect for our weekend and was so centrally located to both Santa Ynez and Los Olivos. We were close to everything. The casita is quiet and the grass outside was perfect for our dog who had the best time running around after a long day of wine tasting :) Jeanne and Leo welcomed us with a personalized sign and treats and were always available if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Santa Ynez!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne and Leo Glover

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for over 30 years. In all of our travels, we have found few places as beautiful as our own little Valley. We feel very fortunate to live in such a special place and look forward to sharing our experience with our guests.

Why they chose this property

The Santa Ynez Valley is the perfect retreat. A tranquil, gorgeous setting offering many activities and yet just a 30 minute drive to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. Enjoy wine tasting at the numerous wineries in the area, shopping in the quaint Danish village of Solvang, a stroll through charming Los Olivos with numerous tasting rooms and shops, or dining at wonderful local restaurants. Hiking biking or boating/fishing in Lake Cachuma.
For golfers, the River Course at the Alisal in Solvang is a great public course. Monthly golf packages available.

What makes this property unique

This is a wonderful combination of privacy and convenience. We are situated on 10 acres, yet we are a very short walking distance from downtown Santa Ynez. A beautiful setting with a detached and very private second residence. Vaulted ceilings add spaciousness and charm and the large fireplace is both sophisticated and cozy. We've furnished it with everything you will need for your stay!
