The kids really enjoyed the family of rabbits casually hanging outside and the games (corn hole/ yoga mats/ dominoes/ jenga). Only downside was having to find our own pack and plays.

Overall would stay there again. ##### eric s. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Z. Oct 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful family get away in the Santa Ynez Mountains We very much enjoyed our stay. The view is lovely, the house was very clean and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the great view, sunrises and sunsets, as well all the local wildlife, lawn games and cooking together in the kitchen. Michelle, the host, is very communicative and cares about this family home that belonged to her parents. We would definitely recommend staying here, but make sure you are very clear about your dates because there is not very much flexibility. Also make sure you bring your own drinking water or filter because the house only has tap. (It’s perfectly safe to drink, but doesn’t taste very good.) Lastly, there are a lot of rules and clean-up protocols. We are very conscientious guests and would have taken excellent care of the house anyway, so sometimes the communication felt a little prickly to us, but once we finally arrived everyone was very gracious and welcoming. We had a great time! ##### Maria Z. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### vanessa r.

House is well supplied with whatever was needed. Decor may be a bit old fashioned for some, but the location view and overall quality of the house was excellent. ##### james g.

The kitchen is large and great for cooking dinner together but the location has a lot of great little restaurants close by as well. The host was very responsive and helpful. ##### Monica E.

It was so peaceful watching the llamas and quail and other wildlife all around us. The property is centrally located off the 154 so we were able to visit Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos. We would definitely stay there again! ##### Laurie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheryl G.

We are doing this for over 15 years. This house was perfect in a beautiful setting in the Santa Ynez valley. Michelle was a great host and takes a lot of pride in providing a beautiful home and experience. Everything you need in the kitchen and comfy beds! Thanks Michelle! We loved our stay! ##### Sheryl G.
