Beautiful! This was the most amazing place to spend time with our extended family. We spent most of our time at the outdoor fire pit, enjoying the views (watching the deer) and swimming in the pool. Exactly what we needed. The main bedrooms were incredibly spacious and the bathrooms were too.

Beautiful property
House manager is amazing, great communication
This was easily one of the top one or two homes our family has ever stayed in—and we’ve stayed in a lot of vacation homes over the years. Our whole family loves to rate the places we stay, and everyone agreed this one was truly special.The Santa Barbara area is absolutely beautiful, but what really set this trip apart was that the house itself became part of the vacation. We actually made a point of scheduling days when we didn’t go anywhere because we just wanted to stay at the house, relax, and enjoy it. More than once we found ourselves saying, “Why go anywhere? This is where we want to hang out today.”The home made it incredibly easy to slow down, spend time together, and really enjoy being in Santa Barbara. It’s a beautiful house in an amazing area, and it added so much to an already wonderful family vacation.We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it without hesitation. A truly memorable place and one of our family’s all-time favorites.

We’re thrilled the home became such a special part of your family vacation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Coyote Ranch! The property and house are absolutely gorgeous. Our favorite part was the watching the sunset at the ranch and the comfy beds and linens. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much! We're so happy you enjoyed the views and the bedding was so comfortable. :-) Please give us a call when you're ready for another visit!
The house was amazing - huge rooms/bathrooms - but I think our favorite part which was more surprising was the location. Because it was a little outside town the views looked out over unobstructed/untouched Los Padres forest all around - so stunning! We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed the home (and the gorgeous views). Please give us a call when you're ready for another visit!
Coyote Hills a perfect gathering place for our family of 18 coming from all over California. The house is large so we never felt over crowded. The outdoor pool area is fabulous. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment needed for us to have fun preparing our meals. I would recommend this home for a group gathering!

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed the house size, pool, and the fully stocked kitchen. :-)
Coyote Hills Ranch is top notch. We did not want to leave. The property and setting are gorgeous and serene; the views are incredible; the house is grand, immaculate, recently renovated, and even more spacious than imagined from the photos. The outdoor seating and pool area are dreamy. The host is communicative, responsive, and provided helpful tips for the area. She ensured the house was prepared and that the stay would go as smoothly as possible. We loved our time at Coyote Hills Ranch.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you loved your stay at Coyote Hills Ranch and found the home and setting as special as we do. It means a lot to know you enjoyed the views, outdoor spaces, and the comfort of the house itself.
The property is HUGE and is impeccibly clean. Loved the layout, plenty of space for a large family/group to spread out (some places only have one family room or gathering spot, and this has several). We enjoyed the pool and how central it was too all the rooms. Everyone loved the pool table, video game and pinball machines. Only minor issue was the sound with the games. A wonderfully large bunk room (with 6 beds!) was right off of the game room. The problem was that the older kids & parents wanted to stay up and play pool and pinball. No way to turn off sound on pinball and people laughing/drinking get loud. So the kiddos in the bunkroom were kept up and crabby in the morning. If you have older people, probably not a problem, but the kiddos like the bunk beds, so their might be an issue with noise in that room (btw, I solved it the following night with a white noise machine on my phone left in the room). Very minor, and they got over it. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time!!

This is wonderful feedback! Thank you, we will be sure to discuss a change if possible in the future. Either way, we hope the rest of the stay was perfect for your family!
Everything we were looking for to get the family time, rest and relaxation we needed. Beautiful home (palace?) and perfectly located. Away from the rest of the world while still being a short drive away from other attractions and destinations, i.e the beach, Santa Barbara, hiking trails. Michelle, the property manager was super communicative and was able to respond to and handle every question and/or concern we had. Looking forward to our next stay here!

Thank you! We're so glad you found the location to be centrally located to what you wanted to visit. We look forward to your next visit too!
The private location and views from the hill top property were amazingly beautiful especially during our early April stay with green all around us.The home is spacious and focused on the pool area and views. The two large suites are large are well appointed. The third guest room is very comfortable. The bunk room and 4th bedroom are quite small.We would return for sure!

We were looking for a location for a small group to relax and spend a long weekend. Came across Coyote hills.
Precheckin and checkin process was very smooth. Only surprise was heating the pool was an extra cost.
Found location easily. Very impressed by the decor and maintenance of the property. Spent a lot of time in the pool with both kids and grown ups had a good time.
We had an issue with the thermostat and Michelle tried ti solve it as best as she could.
Location and tranquility was the best part of the visit.

We're so glad your group had a good time here. We apologize for the mishap with the AC, after the holiday the entire unit had to be replaced!
We rented this beautiful and stunning property to commemorate my late husband’s 1yr death anniversary. This property was perfect in every way with the breathtaking views of the mountains especially during sunset. This home was fully stocked with everything you can think of even with a shaved ice maker with flavored syrups!! Very clean and updated home. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms with the bidet’s… hands down! Family enjoyed swimming with stunning views. Location wasn’t far from grocery stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the nearby casino and of course Solvang and Ostrich Land.Michelle made check in and check out very easy and was always just a phone call away if I had any questions. I would definitely come back to this property. My family is having withdrawals!

We're honored you chose this home for such a meaningful stay. It sounds like your family made the most of everything, from sunsets to shaved ice to poolside fun. We're glad it brought comfort, joy, and a few sweet memories.
We were a group of four families with young children, and the property worked well for our annual weekend get together! The home was clean, maintained well, and met our needs for the weekend. One area that could be improved was the communication around pool heating. Since pool heating was listed as an available add-on, I inquired about adding it to our reservation. While the quoted fee was not insignificant, that was not an issue in itself. My main concern was that I felt discouraged from selecting the option at all. On multiple occasions, I was told that we likely wouldn't need the pool heated, and the conversations left me with the impression that arranging it would be inconvenient. In hindsight, after staying at the property, we regretted not having the pool heated, particularly given that our group included young kids who would have enjoyed using the pool more comfortably.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm truly sorry the pool temperature didn't meet your expectations, especially since you were hoping the children could enjoy it.
This is the first time I've had a guest express concerns after I suggested that the pool heating fee might not be necessary, based on the conditions at the time. Had I known the water wasn't warm enough, I would have gladly come by personally to make sure everything was working properly and that your family could enjoy the pool.
I appreciate your kind comments about the home, and I'm sorry this part of your stay fell short. I hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide the experience you were expecting.
