A beautiful working horse ranch property in the middle of paradise. Our family had the best time, the house felt like a home, and we would love to stay again. Andy truly has a bit of heaven with this property.
Great Property as advertised! My family and friends that stopped by were all very comfortable and relaxed with the quiet and rustic setting. We just loved everything about it.
What a treasure! This is a delightfully, remote and quiet property. If you are looking to unwind and be at peace, this is the place. It has all the comforts that you need and it’s very secure and restful. We loved being able to visit with family members in such a quiet place.
Very nice 3/2 with separate cabin (studio style) maybe 100 feet away. The property is quiet, secluded, and has a huge property around it to enjoy and explore. My kids had a great time outside, especially at night with the full Milky Way visible.Host was kind and responsive. Will definitely return!
Perfect place for a group of 50 something high school friends and their wives to stay! Plenty of privacy, close to all the action the house had everything that we needed!
We had a great time at "the ranch," as my family is now calling it! The kids loved seeing all of the animals - including horses! The porch and outdoor fireplace were the perfect place for us to spend the evenings together and absolutely the highlight of the property.
The Lodge and Cabin were situated on a beautiful property with easy access to wineries, shopping and restaurants. The kitchen and amenities were perfect for our extended family gathering and we spent every evening sitting by the fireplace and taking in many gorgeous sunsets.
I think the best part about the lodge and cabin was the location and view with great outside seating. The main room was great for a group to gather and we enjoyed the privacy & rustic interior.
We had nothing short of a majestic stay at this property. Both the lodge and cabin provided clean and exceptional lodging. The 63 acres , the horses and the River - only added to our enjoyment of the property. But for us city slickers, being woke at the crack of dawn by the birds and the howls of the coyotes were the real highlights of the trip. Would highly recommend visiting this property!Chris
This ranch was surreal. Perfect location and views and so serene. House is equipped with everything you would need on losing dog bowls.Check in process was easy and host was quick to respond and made sure our stay was going well. Perfect location near los olivos, Buelton and Solvang.Would love to stay here again! Perfect for families, dogs, girls trips.
Wonderful cabin. Just very dusty and the extra cabin was very dusty and musty smelling. Loved the location and privacy. We had a wonderful time. Would definately go again!
Such a beautiful property if you are looking to escape and rejuvenate. Close to towns for wine tasting but we really just wanted to relax and take in the beauty!!
The house was on a ranch with a beautiful sceneries and animals. The house was decorated very cute. the porch with the fire place was great. We had a very nice time and thank you for hosting!
