About this property

Magnolia Wine Cottage

Vintage 1950's duplex. Super stylish and cozy.
This amazing space is all about comfort and relaxation. It has a wonderful, private yard, including fire pit and covered outdoor dinning as well as a gas BBQ. This is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or for an extended period of time in the hidden gem of Los Alamos. Just 9 miles from Los Olivos and the rest of the multitude of vineyards and wine tasting. This little town has some of the best restaurants the Valley has to offer in a 4 block stretch. We also have access to a talented massage therapist available for in bungalow massage if you book in advance. We are in a quiet neighborhood with lovely neighbors so if a wild bachelor party is what you are interested in this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a romantic getaway or just some peace and quiet, look no further.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This cottage is absolutely perfect for a visit to Los Alamos. Everything was clean and updated. The front yard with the firepit is very nicely landscaped and so peaceful. It’s an easy walk to all the restaurants, shops and wineries in town. Alex made it easy to get in and out. A wonderful weekend!

This was our second stay at Magnolia Wine Cottage, and we will definitely be back. It's cozy and quiet and we love that we can walk everywhere in town -- even over a rainy weekend. In fact, the rain made a Downton Abby marathon feel even cozier on the comfortable couch. It's the perfect stay for a family of three!

The cottage was great!

The cottage was great, and exactly as described in the photos and listing. The beds and linens were top-notch, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for our multi-day stay. We all especially appreciated that it was an easy walk into town for our wedding in the evening and also the bakery/breakfast in the morning. Overall a really nice stay. Thanks Alex!

Exceptional in every way

An absolute gem in Los Alamos. Alex has created a phenomenal experience. Extremely well appointed with high quality furniture and linens, home is spotless and very comfortable. Clearly Alex loves being a host and it shows because she wants the best experience for her guests. Parking is easy, grounds are beautiful and well maintained, beds are luxurious. Bathroom is clean and updated and water pressure is divine! Home is a sweet quick walk to restaurants and shops on Bell Street. The perfect spot for exploring the hidden gem that is Los Alamos. Don’t miss Bob’s Well Bread, Plenty on Bell, Full of Life Flatbread and Bell’s for food. Thank you for everything, Alex, I’m plotting when I can return!

Fantastic stay in paradise

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Los Alamos while we were in town for a wedding. The house was spotless, spacious, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel instantly comfortable. The beds were cozy, the kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of space both inside and out to relax and unwind. Everything was exactly as described, and even better in person.There was a very minor plumbing issue during our stay, but Alex handled it immediately and made the whole process totally stress-free. His responsiveness and care really stood out and made us feel well taken care of.The location was perfect—an easy walk to the restaurants and shops along Bell Street, and a great jumping-off point for exploring the Santa Ynez Valley. Los Alamos itself is such a charming town, full of great food, wine, and character. It still feels a little bit like a hidden gem, and staying here gave us the perfect local experience.I can't recommend this property enough. It made our trip incredibly special, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Visitors from Virginia

We were in Los Alamos for a family wedding….rented Magnolia Cottage (8 nights) to turn extra time there into a mini vacation to explore the area, in addition to attending the festivities. We have rented over a dozen VRBOs and this gem was one of the best….cute gardens, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and living room, walking distance to downtown, lots of fresh towels, a very quiet retreat. etc. Alex provided everything needed, including a welcome basket. Everything was fresh and clean when we walked in, and there was plenty of info. provided about things to see. Everything is on one level….no steps to climb. So glad we made the reservation the same day we received a “save the date” notice from the bride and groom. We highly recommend Magnolia Cottage! M and M from Virginia
