About the host

Hosted by Polo House Hotel & Bungalows

Host profile image
Polo House & Bungalows
Set in the heart of downtown Santa Ynez, Polo House & Bungalows is a 14-key boutique retreat where refined design, relaxed luxury, and the heritage of California’s polo culture converge. Just steps from the town’s most celebrated restaurants and artisan shops, and a short bike ride from world-class wineries, the property offers an intimate gateway to Santa Ynez at its most authentic.
Thoughtfully designed to reflect the rhythm of the polo lifestyle, the hotel blends modern architecture with equestrian influence—clean lines softened by natural textures, tailored interiors paired with effortless comfort. Each bungalow and guest space feels curated yet unpretentious, capturing the balance of sport, leisure, and understated elegance.
Here, mornings begin slowly, afternoons unfold among the vines, and evenings return you to a setting that feels both polished and personal. Polo House & Bungalows is not a place to pass through, but one to settle into—where California wine country is experienced with intention, style, and quiet confidence.

Why they chose this property

The Santa Ynez Valley includes the five towns of Santa Ynez, Ballard, Los Olivos, Solvang, and Buellton. Founded in 1882 and known as “The New Town,” Santa Ynez has preserved much of its western character, with several historic storefronts still standing. By 1889, it had become the social and economic center of the Valley, home to mercantile stores, blacksmith shops, garages, grocery stores, barber and harness shops, millinery stores, and saloons.

What makes this property unique

Polo House is hosted by a team who truly loves the Santa Ynez Valley and the relaxed rhythm of Wine Country living. With a deep appreciation for the area’s wineries, landscapes, and local culture, the hosts enjoy sharing thoughtful recommendations for tastings, dining, and scenic drives. Guests are welcomed with care and attention while still enjoying the privacy and ease of a well-managed stay, making Polo House an ideal base for unwinding and exploring the Valley at a comfortable, unhurried pace.
