  We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The cottage was immaculate and cozy with a lovely, sparkling pool. The property surrounding the cottage is so peaceful with beautiful gardens and a stunning view of the mountains. The owner, Colette was so warm and welcoming during our stay. We especially loved being greeted by the owners adorable dogs when we arrived back at the cottage. This property is truly a little paradise in Montecito. We will definitely be returning!

  This was a great place for a nice break for my husband, 9-year-old son and me. We enjoyed the views the pool deck of the mountains right above Colette's own house and garden. The stars were especially bright at this location, away from the lights of Los Angeles. We enjoyed tennis every day and the spa at night. The cottage was the perfect size and very comfortable for the 3 of us.

  My husband and I stayed at Colette's charming guest house for a weekend getaway and it was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered! Plenty of privacy, utterly charming and quiet. The weather was perfection while we were there so we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the hot tub each day. The pictures are true to what the place is like as well. Colette was a wonderful hostess and the dogs were hilarious, well trained in how to get treats from visitors. Nothing was walkable but that was fine for us because we just wanted to stay in most of the time. When we did venture out, it took only a few minutes to get anywhere. HIGHLY recommend this wonderful guest house!

  My husband and I just returned from a 2 week stay in this most unbelievable cottage..... It was the most amazing experience for both of us. The location could not have been better... Close to everything by car....hiking trails... The beach.... Fabulous restaurants.... Great shopping.... Great outdoor produce markets....Colette met us upon our arrival and showed us to the cottage.... We walked in.... No surprises.... Everything was perfect.... Decorated so tastefully.... It was for sure the most relaxing trip we have ever taken.... Leaving was the hardest.... This cottage is a find.... We would highly recommend it and we promise it would be an experience that you would forever remember.... Like us!

  My husband, 9 month old daughter and I spent a perfect week at Colette's guest cottage. The description and photos are spot on - it's charming, very comfortable (great bed!), nicely decorated, peaceful and private. Having the pool right out the front door made our week! Colette was a wonderful hostess, readily available for questions and requests. She stopped by a few times to be sure we had everything we needed, but was completely unobtrusive. We really felt like we had the place to ourselves. Her sweet and very nicely behaved dogs would frequently stop by for a quick visit. Our daughter adored them! We cooked most meals at the house- there's a nice bbq on the pool deck and the kitchen is equipped with the basics (a collander would be a good addition!). The linens were amply stocked. The cottage was clean and tidy. We loved it and hope to be back someday! Thanks Collete!

  We had the most fantastic babymoon at Tabor lane cottage. It was such a treat to be able to relax by the pool in the sun (with the doggies). Colette was absolutely wonderful making us feel very at home and made some great restaurant recommendations! The cottage had everything we needed and offered complete privacy. All in all the perfect place for us! Thank you again for the most wonderful holiday, we loved it and highly recommend staying here, we will be sure to return! G&K

  This Cottage is as close to perfect at one could expect. It is beautifully finished in every way. The setting is amazing - private gated property, secluded, comfortable, and well done. It exceeded our expectations in every way. It was such a lovely Cottage we did not want to leave to explore the surrounding area. The very friendly owner, Colette, greeted us warmly and ensured we were well informed about the Cottage and the surrounding Montecito, Santa Barbara and wine country. This was our first experience in the Santa Barbara area and we look forward to returning to the Cottage soon. We would absolutely recomment this property to family, friends, or anyone who appreciates cleanliness, quality and comfort.

  Colette was the perfect host, orienting us to our surroundings and advising us on restaurants, activitles etc. Her property is beautifully appointed. clean, comfortable and conveniently located. By car, we were within 5 minutes to both beaches and hiking paths and about 10 minutes to the heart of Santa Barbara. I would certainly recommend this property!

  My wife and I stayed at cottage and were very pleased with the entire experience. The owner lives in the main house next to the cottage. It is a private setting with beautiful landscaping. The owner was very accommodating. The cottage is well furnished and comfortable. Great location and ample parking. We would recommend this place to any couple looking for a clean, comfortable stay.

  Everything was exactly as pictured and described - even better. Colette was very helpful, especially in recommending restaurants and beaches - we had one of the best meals of our lives at Trattoria Mollie in Montecito. We love dogs, so the visits from Milo and Daisy were a huge bonus, making us really feel at home. Swimming in a heated private pool right outside our door was a wonderful luxury. We recommend it highly.
