About this property

“Fortunate indeed is the person who can live in Santa Barbara, and doubly blessed if his home is located in Mission Canyon”
– Ethel Barrymore

A peaceful home, hewn from local stone by Italian masons a century ago, recently remodeled to provide a wonderful combination of Santa Barbara history with modern conveniences.

While secluded and private it is close to the mountains, beaches, downtown, restaurants, and shopping. Within walking distance is the Santa Barbara Mission, the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, and Rocky Nook Park.

There are three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. A lovely outdoor space offers room to relax, explore, with a dining area for meals to linger over. The house was blessed years ago by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and we like to think of it as quintessential California living at its best.

King bedroom, with marble lined en suite bathroom. Beautiful, light-filled room with a luxurious space.

Queen bedroom, with adjacent private 1920's style bathroom. This room offers lovely views into the garden.

Bunk room, with two twins and one full bed. Plenty of space for children, or a family to share. Bathroom just steps down the hall.

The kitchen and breakfast-nook overlook the outdoor dining area, which includes a BBQ grill for outdoor cooking and entertaining... or just relaxing by the fire pit.

Perfect Santa Barbara Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed everything about this property (in fact I would give my left arm for this house lol) The property owners are absolute gems and if you need anything they are more than willing to help out with whatever questions you have or anything you need. The house was spotless. The backyard is STUNNING and the layout worked for our event perfectly. Since it was November we rented 4 heaters from Super Party Rentals they were timely and it was a good amount of coverage that kept us and our guests comfortable. I would highly recommend this property for couples or families looking for a good time in Santa Barbara :)

Great stay!

My friends had a great time staying at this beautiful home. Jana and Dru were excellent communicators and made the whole process seamless. The house is very well appointed and the backyard is truly magical. Also they left us a whole baskets of treats, wine, coffee etc which was so generous. I would absolutely stay here again!
