Nice hideaway in the hills

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.

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.

Just perfect

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.

Wine Country Cottage

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!

Country Getaway

We had the most amazing time in La Petite Maison. It was really what we needed. We took long walks along the country road and spent most of the time in and around the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed. The cottage was charming and we especially took full advantage of the fire place inside and having the heater outside allowed us to eat outside on the cool evenings. The welcome amenities were a nice touch. Lovely place to getaway in the Valley.
