Tranquil & Private with Sweeping Views, River---all within 5 min of Santa Ynez

The Lodge and the Cabin are the guest quarters for the historic Rio Ynez Ranch, an 85-acre horse ranch in Santa Ynez. Previously, these two houses were only available to guests of the owner, including many storied personalities. Now you can share in the total privacy--- while only 5 minutes from downtown Santa Ynez, 10 to Los Olivos. Stroll 100 paces and sit at the edge of the Santa Ynez River and listen to the landscape of birdsong. Sit on the sprawling deck with a glass of local wine and ponder the uninterrupted panorama of mountains. You won’t see a sign of civilization during your stay. Furnished with a mixture of antiques and rare rustic furniture. The Lodge was redone recently: new paint, floors, marble kitchen counters, new French doors; the deck has been extended and a beautiful new outdoor fireplace and seating area have been built. The kitchen in the Lodge is fully equipped for you to cook a fine meal, and there is a fine outdoor gas grill, but the restaurants of Santa Ynez are only moments away, wineries too numerous to mention. The Lodge has one King Bedroom, Two Queen Bedrooms and Two Full Baths. The Cabin has One King Bed and one Full Bathroom.
