An absolutely lovely spot that takes you into the windy roads of SY. The hosts make it easy as possible. Lots of privacy, your own small yard. I felt as if I lived there.
The cottage was a welcomed surprise. Very homey, comfortable and personable. It was an excellent home away from home stay. Every thing you could want for a few days away. It was also very quiet and private. Dana was always available, if anything was needed. The only thing that could have made the stay better is if the lavender was blooming! Many thanks to the host!
We adore staying at La Petite Maison! It is an absolute oasis. The countryside couldn’t be more beautiful. Dana is the perfect host and always responsive.
Fireplace was awesome. Vey clean and well furnished. Single bath worked ok for 2 couples. Awesome place. Close to lots of great wineries and restaurants.
This property was spectacular. The home was comfortable and clean, and the hosts were lovely. The location could not be beat. We can't wait to go back!
The property exceeded expectations. Charming, functional, beautiful little cottage that has everything you need. The hosts were amazing... peaceful, quiet and picturesque grounds.
I'm leaving La Petite very happy, relaxed, and full of energy. It's a very nice place, the house is very clean and comfortable. I hope to return very soon.
This cottage is adorable. So comfortable and clean. Has all you need. Quiet and well located near everything but feels a million miles away. Hosts were great and it was all that was promised.
La Petit Maison is à charming, well appointed cottage very close to both Los Olivos & Santa Ynez. Comfortable and cozy, perfect for our short getaway and a great base camp for exploring the area. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
Dana and Craig are gracious and charming hosts. The property is equally delightful. The lavender field and olive grove makes us feel as if we are back in Provence. We will be back again soon!
My wife and I returned to Petite Maison and found the cottage and surroundings to be just as charming and delightful as before. The new brick path to the front door is a nice addition. Looking forward to our next stay.
Found the cottage to be the perfect place to stay in the valley. Equal distant between Santa Ynez and Los Olivos and a short drive from Solvang. Beautiful quiet location and charming decor. my brother and I were very comfortable
This is a petite cottage in the hills of Santa Ynez. Fun to stay and experience the calm of the countryside. There are nice amenities on the property, to include a wonderful porch to eat a morning meal. The place is outfitted with great bedding and a cozy feel. Great for a couple or family of four. I would recommend giving it a try.
I have to be careful in terms of how much Praise I offer as it could have the effect of making further bookings more complicated – but just have to say, this is an absolutely perfect location and home for a wine country getaway north of Santa Barbara. Dana was wonderful, easy to communicate with, the location is absolutely fantastic With proximity to everything nearby. Definitely will stay again.

Well appointed two bedroom with large shared bathroom.
Nice rural setting and close to town.
A fabulous place - could not have been more perfect. Best vacation rental I have ever been at! Private, spotless, everything you need - felt more like being in someone’s beautiful home than a vacation rental - can’t wait to return!
Le petite Maison is absolutely charming. We loved the quaint touches throughout the cottage. The large connecting bathroom is spacious with plenty of room for toiletries. The location is amongst a grove of olive trees and french lavender which adds to the charm. We hope to return in the near future!

About the host
Hosted by Dana Stewart | Property Manager
We are native Texans who got a taste of California as college students and always wanted to return. Craig did advertising photography for 30 years and Dana taught middle school for 24 years. We now own and operate Lavande Farm with La Petite Maison as our little jewel in the midst of the lavender field.
Why they chose this property
We love the serenity of the country; but enjoy being just 12 minutes away from world-class restaurants, great shops, and all the goods and services we need.
