Wine Country Cottage – Elegant Haven in central Santa Ynez Valley
In the spring of 2008, this charming 3 bedroom cottage in the heart of Los Olivos was renovated and transformed. With unrelenting attention to every detail, the owners have created the ideal vacation getaway. Experience the life of a wine-country local as you walk from this fabulous home to explore the heart of Los Olivos.
Eight quality wine-tasting rooms are within 2 blocks of this home. Take an easy stroll to four of the best rated fine dining restaurants in the entire Valley. Enjoy Panino's gourmet sandwiches during your day of picnicking and wine-tasting, then finish the evening with vintage fine dining at Mattei’s Tavern. It is a great feeling to enjoy this perfectly remodeled 3 bedroom home with gourmet kitchen, for the same price as a single room at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn (just three doors away!).
This artisan cottage was completely remodeled in 2008; and the owners spared no expense. The quality is immediately apparent as you enter the manicured front gardens, and step on to the natural sandstone front porch. The foyer opens to a spacious living room with 12 foot ceilings. In the living room, a flat screen 50” TV with /DVD player is surrounded by comfortable and stylish furnishings. Off the living room are the dining room and kitchen areas.
The kitchen gives the feeling you are cooking in a Restoration Hardware catalog photo! It is large, and boasts a Dacor professional range, built-in refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a unique under-counter microwave drawer. The kitchen has zinc counter tops; which add a very classic and vintage feel to the entire room. The large dining table with comfortable seating for 6 is adjacent to the kitchen.
Open the French doors to another sandstone craftsman patio. The sculptured waterfall provides a peaceful soundtrack to your outdoor dining and relaxing. An amazing variety of plants and fruit trees await you in the landscaped backyard. The Plum, Apricot, and Peach trees are all robust and productive, and a pair of healthy grape vines provide tasty treats during the harvest season.
The back bedroom with Queen bed opens on to the Spa deck and backyard. The front bedroom with Queen bed has a private bath, and opens to the manicured front yard. Another room with a twin trundle bed is perfect for kids. All three bedrooms have TV’s with DVD players. The beds are all brand new, with fine linens providing a 5-star-hotel feeling.
Every aspect of this home promises to provide you a wine-country getaway you won’t soon forget. We look forward to sharing this fabulous property with you!

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) We so loved this beautiful cottage and wished we could stay longer. Glorious kitchen I'd love to replicate back home! We hosted our friends here over from the UK and they were impressed with the house, the garden and the quaint Los Olivos town with too many wineries to count! We shall be back!

(transcibed from the Guest book at the property) Enjoyed your home! We felt very comfortable and everything we needed was here. The beds were great - even the day bed! Loved to towels!!! We went to the Los Olivos Cafe and enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We went to Brothers and felt the food was mediocre and pricey. Thank you for providing your lovely home for our long weekend.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the property) What an amazing place! We got married in Ballard and this was a perfect place for us away from all the planning and chaos. Keep it available so we can come back for our anniversary.
Positive Rating
(transcribed from the Guest Book at the property) This property is perfect. My brother and his new wife were thrilled that this home was available for their wedding weekend. Out of all the properties rented by other family members, this was clearly the most beautiful. Some required pools and pet friendly properties but this was clearly the most serene and calm. Hope to be able to stay in December. P.S. Hope you don't mind but we had to taste a few strawberries.
