About this property

Convenient Getaway for recharging and reconnecting!

Eagle Creek Ranch is my special place. I fell in love with it on my first visit and I just knew it was for me.

I decided, after spending months pouring my heart into the property, the ranch house and the Saloon, that I wanted to share it with others. It’s a work in progress but already a comfortable place to call home. The wifi is good, there is parking for many, you can invite guests for dinner under the oak grove and play croquet, have a drink in the Saloon and you might even see the resident bobcat and fox wandering through every day. You're a 10 second walk from downtown Bell Street.

The Los Alamos area was originally a Chumash Indian Village and then became a stagecoach town in the late 1800's. It's a short drive to the rest of Santa Ynez Valley and everything it has to offer. It still boasts the last remaining railroad station that serviced the narrow gauge line during the early 1900’s (across the street from my ranch).

Whether you want to bike, hike, shop, or explore the many wine tasting and restaurant options available, you’ll always have something to do. Los Alamos, itself, is home to some of the best dining options in the entire Valley and the people are friendly and welcoming. It’s a small town (I have to get my mail at the post office every day), but not too far from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles (to the south) and San Luis Obispo and San Francisco (to the north). It is literally taking a step back in time.

Simply The Best!
Eagle Creek Ranch is lovely beyond words. Came to Los Alamos for a wedding and shared the house with three other adults. We never felt cramped. Other friends dropped in over the weekend and it was always perfect. Lots of space to sit and visit. The kitchen is great. The covered patio/deck made for an excellent spot for coffee talk. In the evenings, wine in front of the fire place was fantastic. Thank you Dawn for sharing your beautiful home!

Charming, fun little ranch home!
We had a short stay and wished we had longer! The home was very clean and comfortable. The access to town was a short walk. The property was stunning! Will definitely stay again if so am in the area. The owner was easily reachable and very friendly with all questions.

The ranchette is perfect.
This was our second year renting the ranchette- such nice ambience, beautiful setting, well stocked with anything you need. Lots of clear notes and hints about how to use the house and accessories. There are so many different gathering places all around the house and yard. Hope to return next year.

Heaven on Earth
Eagle Creek Ranch is a rolling abundance of magic! I spent two nights soaked in cozy comfort. The grounds are beautiful. The kitchen has everything you might want. The living spaces are perfect right down to water pressure and linens. The town of Los Alamos is charming. Dawn is quick with communication and her warm personality is reflected in every aspect of her home. The only low point of my stay was pulling out of the driveway this morning and seeing the ranch in my rear view. Thank you Dawn for sharing your lovely ranch!

Large property in convenient location
We were very pleased to stay here and it exceeded expectations. The house was cozy, yet spacious, with good natural light and a fun family room with pool table. My kids were very happy to explore the sprawling grounds. My only regret was that I forgot to bring a football. Finding the old western saloon on the grounds was a pleasant surprise and definitely a treat for a 10 year old boy. We also got to enjoy the pleasant hot tub and large patio lounge area. The property is a short walk to the retail strip of Los Alamos with restaurants, tasting rooms, and shops and conveniently just steps from an electric vehicle super charger. The communication with the host was easy. Instructions to access were provided well before our arrival and there weren’t a bunch of hoops for us to jump through to clean up before we left. Overall, a great experience and fair value and I hope to be able to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Sherry

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Dawn. Born and raised in central California. I'm an architect and own and run an architectural firm in Santa Barbara. I live part-time at Eagle Creek Ranch and part-time on my 50' Grand Banks Motor Yacht in the Santa Barbara harbor with my yellow lab, Brigitte (Bardot). I love sailing, running, cycling, cooking, and traveling, amongst many other lesser known interests such as riding on my big lawn mover, getting dolled up for a party, waxing my car, photographing birds, thrift store shopping, Netflix binging, staring at a campfire with a glass of whiskey, being corny with my friends, and playing keyboards with my girl band.
I've traveled quite a bit and lived in Florence, Italy, during school way back in 1989 where I learned to live and breathe Italian. Then I married a Frenchman...lol. Right now, it's back to English, for the most part.
I was born about 15 miles north of Los Alamos and have always loved this little town. My family roots are in the country, and I never thought I'd have a chance to get back to those roots until I bought Eagle Creek Ranch. I know I can't really call this the "country", but I can pretend... and it's nice to be able to get dirt under my nails and dust in my teeth as a change from feet in the sand and ocean mist messing up my hair.

Why they chose this property

I came across this property for sale and knew I wanted it. It was love at first sight. I have a history in the hospitality business as an architect, have owned and operated a yacht charter business for 12 years and also own and operate another VRBO property in Santa Barbara. I love sharing my town with others and creating comfortable spaces. Eagle Creek Ranch is a natural muse.

What makes this property unique

The ranch is a work in progress, but already the best things about it include feeling removed from the hustle of life by just crossing the bridge, wandering around the grounds and running into Bob, the bobcat and his friend, Mr. Fox. The Saloon is a special place for me because I love playing music with my friends and inviting people to my very own place! I even like being able to see the freeway lights flickering between the trees at night because I feel removed, yet close to civilization. At night, I love the quiet Living Room with just a fire in the fireplace and a good book. It's a 180 from boat life!
