    You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

    A Wonderful Place for Friends and Families to gather, relax , restore and play.

    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.

    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!

    Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood very close to Solvang. Hosts were great and we got to meet the household chickens that provided us breakfast! I would absolutely stay here again the next time we visit friends in the area.

    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.

    so much fun!
    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
