About this property
Rocking R Country Retreat
Located just outside of Solvang, California, this updated ranch style home is nestled on 10 quiet and wooded acres where you'll feel like you're a hundred miles from civilization.
Our home is situated in the country with spacious lawn areas, a comfortable open and spacious floor plan with open-beamed ceilings, large stone-topped island in the kitchen and French doors opening onto multiple patios for relaxing, dining and entertaining.
With 3 bedrooms (King, Queen & two twin beds) and two and one half bathrooms, this vacation rental includes a fully equipped kitchen located on one end of the great room, three wood-burning fireplaces, large living room with formal dining area, outdoor barbeque, private spa and two large flat-screen televisions.
Our home is about a mile and a half from Solvang (a twenty minute walk). Solvang hosts many fine restaurants, lovely shops and outstanding activities to enchant young and old alike. Solvang has more than a dozen wine tasting rooms and there are 80 wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley. Our home is just down the road from Rusack Vineyards. As for restaurants and shopping, our home is a short drive (or walk) to Solvang, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Buellton, offering a wide variety of five-star choices!
If bicycling is of interest to you, our home is a great jumping-off point for many great cycling routes. In fact, the Amgen Tour of California individual time trial has rolled by the front of our home on several occasions.
Come escape to the country. We invite you to enjoy the best of Santa Ynez Valley country living. Don't miss this opportunity for a great get-away.
Our home awaits you.

About the host
Hosted by Andy Trabucco
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property because we fell in love with the peace and quiet we experienced as we walked around the home. We completely remodeled the home and made it our own.
What makes this property unique
The bright morning light in the kitchen, the open airy feeling of the yards, the relaxing nature of the patios and the sunsets off the front porch are some of our favorite aspects of our home.
