About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sweet Queen Retreat in Downtown Los Olivos.

This well-designed apartment with its private coded entry offers comfort and convenience whether you want to stay in and relax or take a quick walk to the town's renowned wine tasting scene just a few minutes away on foot. Inside this sweet studio you'll find a welcoming lower level queen bedroom and two separate raised areas: one with a tub/shower combo bathroom and the other a lounge area with a convenient counter and sink area including a mini fridge, microwave and a full stash of coffee-making equipment including K-Pod. Much of the art and furnishings were designed and handcrafted by the hosts incorporating deconstructed oak barrels to give it a one-of-a-kind wine country feel.

Outside you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of our lush back yard relaxing under the shade of two gorgeous mulberry trees in a semi-private outdoor sitting area complete with a mini propane fire pit for those chilly valley nights. While the hosts live in the front house and sometimes walk through the back yard, guests will typically have it to themselves - especially in the evenings. Feel free to wander out by car to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills of the surrounding Santa Ynez Valley and all it has to offer (wineries, casino, hiking and biking and Solvang "The Danish Capital of America" to name a few). Your dedicated parking space will be there when you return so no need to hassle with the limited parking in town. To make your stay extra special we like to bake delicious treats for our guests!

Fantastic place to stay!
This charming efficiency apartment was perfect for our stay, clean and comfy, and within walking distance of everything in town! Our host, Mia, was fantastic with suggestions for wine tastings and restaurants. She and her husband Brian even hung out with us for a wine tasting and dinner one evening! Mia was super responsive to our every need! We can't wait to return and stay here again!!

Great little studio
The hostess was great. She left me cookies and had half & half for my morning coffee in the fridge. Quiet spot and enjoyed sitting on the patio with a glass of wine. Easy walk to the Wine Tasting in Los Olivos and restaurants. I would recommend a stay.

Fantastic location and immaculately clean.
Mia was an amazing communicator. She left us delicious cookies and extra ice due to a heatwave. The unit is adorable and well appointed. It is one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The outside seating area was private and cute. She gave us great recommendations on dinner and tastings. She’s also quite the musician as we were lucky enough to see her perform at local business. I highly recommend staying here.

The perfect weekend getaway!
My fiancé and I booked a weekend stay with Mia in Los Olivos and had the most amazing time! Mia was incredibly helpful from check-in to check-out and went above and beyond. The rental comes with one private parking spot which was very convenient and the location could not have been more perfect. We parked our car and never got back in it until we were heading home. There are so many amazing restaurants, shops, and wineries within walking distance. Mia gave us several recommendations and we even got to spend some time her and her husband at the winery where she works. The last morning of our stay, we were delivered fresh biscuits with butter and jam! 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back.

Very, very helpful hostess; Mia even offered to bring us homemade baked goods, but due to timing we couldn't take advantage of her offer. Great location in downtown Los Olivos. Studio was so comfortable and clean. Very quiet - slept well.

Weekend in Los Olivos
We found this little gem in the perfect neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Rivera. Leading up to the stay, we had several conversations with the property owner which helped us prepare. The little casita was immaculately clean, safe, convenient, and adorable, with plenty of amenities. I was amazed at how quiet it was. The location is perfect for walking all around in Los Olivos. Property owners were warm and welcoming and have thought of everything. We highly recommend it!!

Perfect spot for a wedding weekend!
I stayed at Mia’s studio apartment to is past weekend and it was perfect. Exactly as listed, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Plus only a short 1-block walk into town. And she even brought homemade scones to me one morning! The perfect spot to stay if hotels in town are sold out or you are looking for a more modest accommodation. Highly recommend.

Can’t recommend enough!
Mia was an absolutely amazing host and made our celebration weekend really special. Someone had a last-minute cancelation, and she very kindly upgraded us to the King Retreat, which was extra spacious and had the cutest balcony with a heater. Everything about the apartment was perfect - bed was also comfy. There is complete privacy in the apartment, completely separate from and away from the host’s home. She had all kinds of coffee options (keurig, pour over, a grinder, etc), and she even left us homemade cookies when we arrived! During our stay, she also offered us homemade buttermilk biscuits for the next morning, which made our stay so special. Mia was a great communicator when we needed her, while also giving us our space. And the location was so walkable and central to all the wineries in town. Would definitely return!

Super charming studio!
So happy we found this charming studio while traveling through Los Olivos!! We loved it! Super clean, and very cozy! Communication with Mia was outstanding, and she even had homemade cookies waiting for us! Yum! We walked to downtown for wine tasting and a super delicious dinner. One of the most comfortable sleeps ever, oh my gosh the bed was great! Mia spoiled us with homemade blueberry scones before our checkout! Wonderful experience and we’ll only stay at Mia’s place while visiting Los Olivos!

The owner of the property was fabulous! She was communicated with us well on our day of arrival, to make everything seamless. And so unexpectedly, she made us biscuits & jam for my boyfriend… & because I’m gluten free made the yummiest best blueberry scone I’ve ever eaten! We would definitely go back!!

Perfect getaway at Casa Rivera!
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Rivera! The location was perfect, as it was just a short walk to the charming downtown area with its many tasting rooms and shops. The apartment itself was well-appointed, with comfortable furnishings, a well-equipped kitchenette, and an outdoor space for enjoying the beautiful weather. The homemade biscuits and original artwork in the apartment were exceptional! Our host, Mia, was very responsive and helpful, making sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, we highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a lovely getaway in Los Olivos!" Jason and Darcy
