Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2000

We are a family who moved to the area 25 years ago and this home 9 years ago...we love hosting company, and the guest house provided a wonderful opportunity to invite guests to come and enjoy Santa Barbara as we do...

The Unique Benefits of this house

Our area is quiet, with beautiful sycamores, and other California native plants and wildlife. We live near a beautiful seasonal creek, and it lends our surroundings a quiet rural feel...yet we are close to everything Montecito, Santa Barbara, Summerland, Carpinteria and the Santa Ynez Valley have to offer...

Charming Montecito 1 BR Guesthouse W/ Small Garden & Deck
4/5

Wonderfully peaceful and comfortable

Guest: Jim (Los Angeles, CA)
Date of Stay: 11/16/10 Review Submitted: 11/18/10

Kathy, the owner, was extremely pleasant and easy-going. The cottage is decorated beautifully, the tilework is terrific, and the yard is perfect for playing with your dog. The location is very convenient, a minute from the 101, yet very secluded, peaceful and green. We would definitely return again.

A wonderful, relaxing retreat with incredible hosts!

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous 6 day stay at this charming guesthouse. The cottage itself is lovely and very well appointed with all the amenities you would ever need.The pictures shown do not do it justice! The owners were very friendly and extremely accomodating but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this delightful cottage and the beautiful village of Montecito!

Date of Stay: 10/14/08 Review Submitted: 10/14/08

This is long overdue but none the less heartfelt . . . We spent three nights in the guesthouse in May, 2008, and absolutely loved it. The house is every bit as charming as the pictures suggest. David and Kathy were wonderful hosts: warm, helpful, generous with recommendations but not "hovering." We felt very much at home and totally private. The hosts provided lovely touches -- e.g., a scented candle and bottle of (local) wine awaiting our arrival. We recommend this place without reservation, and look forward to returning ourselves one day.

An hour and a half away from LA but a whole world apart! I loved my week vacation at the guesthouse. It was far beyond my expectations. Kathy has an impeccable taste and I felt I was back in the South of France. Hopping on my bike in the morning to ride to the beach with my pooch was priceless. I will be back!

"Your cottage was magical! We were overwhelmed with how quaint and cozy everything is! The garden is absolutely enchanting, we felt like we were in our paradise. We have found our "permanent spot" in Santa Barbara. Kathy & David were wonderful hosts to such a private, secluded and gorgeous vacation place. And we could bring our dog!!! How fantastic of an experience -great location off the freeway - yet tucked away over the river and through the woods! What a great place for us to be on our wedding weekend! We will be back again" Kimberly & James
