My sister and I recently enjoyed a four night mini reunion at Rose Story Farm. Our stay in Lavender Cottage was perfect. The elegant but comfortable décor, the delightful beds, the breakfast goodies including fresh eggs from the farm’s own chickens, the terrific book selection, and the patio for gazing out over the incredible landscape made for the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The Rose Farm setting is so magical that we hardly wanted to leave, even to walk on the nearby beach or explore the charming little beach town of Carpinteria. Thank you for a most special visit.

Dani & Bill, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your "piece of Heaven" in Carpinteria! I picked the perfect place for my 'babymoon'. It will be a lovely memory to share with my daughter someday! Thank you for all of the extra things that were there to make our stay that much more pleasure-filled. The flowers in the bungalow were enjoyed every day and it was amazing to eat farm fresh eggs & fruits. We discovered your little town and Annie was able to enjoy some wine at the new wine bar on Linden. The shops were lovely too but we mostly enjoyed staying in the bungalow! Thank you for lunch on Saturday! We never intended to crash! Bill, it was lovely chatting with you and Dani - good luck with the coaching! I wish you the best of luck with ALL you are doing on the farm and hope to se you again VERY soon. Best, Margo PS. I will be sure to send you a picture of one of your very first guests shortly after her arrival.

My daughter, Elena, and I were fortunate enough to spend nine days in this magical cottage amongst the roses. We had been evacuated from our home due to a fire, and felt we had been gifted with the most soothing and comforting "evacuation vacation." This cottage has a storybook charm about it that is reflected in its every detail. When we arrived the house was airy and bright, filled with the scent and beauty of roses, yet featuring a fully equipped kitchen and laundry and the creature comforts of a great hotel. We felt a little like we were at a spa, and spent our days savoring the quietude, the great tub, the tranquil back deck, and sunset walks through the fields of roses. Everyone was kind and generous, yet we felt we had complete privacy and our own separate peace. I cannot recommend this delightful spot too highly. It is a perfect place for a tranquil retreat or delightful vacation, near the beach, amidst the roses with great shopping and restaurants close at hand. It was hard place to leave and definitely holds treasured memories for us. **************************************
