Charming Santa Ynez farmhouse

Charming Santa Ynez farmhouse. The farmhouse is situated on 4 acres and shared with dogs, cats, goats, geese, turkeys, tortoise, horses and chickens! We are on the property as well and in our own space. We can have as much or as little interaction as you would like.

The farmhouse is for two adults only, sorry no children.
You have approximately 750sf. with 2 separate sleeping areas to choose from. One is in the bedroom with a king size bed and the other is located in the living room. It is a cubby that has a queen size mattress in it. It is very cozy!
Kitchen amenities include, stove/oven, fridge, sink, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender and all the service ware you need! A Samsung 42" flat screen tv with Directv premium channels is provided for your viewing. A full bath with a shower and tub awaits you. There is also a workspace if you need to do some work while here. The place is airy and bright with lots of windows and doors to let in the natural light.
French doors open to a lovely private brick outdoor patio with BBQ, table & chairs and two lounge chairs. The patio/backyard faces a vegetable garden and is very private . During the day we have free roaming animals that you may encounter. We let the hens out about 7 or 8:00 am as they have an automatic door and they go to bed at dusk. The hens can make noise when laying an egg. We let the roosters out of the coop around 8:00am and they free range as well. The coop is out in a field away from the farmhouse by our barn and the roosters have a little sound proofing around where they sleep. But this is the country and you may hear ours and other neighbors roosters crowing or other animals. We also have pygmy goats, small dogs under 20 pounds, tortoise, geese, turkeys and horses along with ourselves on the property. This is a farm with animals that can make noises. There is an and pm feedings, it's a farm if animals are not your thing than we are not for you...
The farmhouse is for the paid guests only that book, no other sleep overs or other guests brought for entertaining etc. Booked/paid guests only. Sorry NO children or pets TWO GUESTS ONLY

We are located 2.5 miles from Los Olivos and downtown Santa Ynez. Santa Barbara is about 30 miles and Lake Cachuma is 13. The Danish town of Solvang is about 4 miles away. We are very close to some great winerys, Roblar, Beckman, & Bridlewood to name a few.

We do have wifi but it is satellite and very slow and not for streaming. It does allow you to do your basic internet searches and check email it is through a satellite dish which is the only option offered. This is nothing we can change as there are no other options offered in our location.

When weather and time permits bath and bed linens are dried on a clothes line.

Check in is 3pm and check out is 11am.

If you need a one night stay only you can check the calendar close to that date and if I do not have a booking I can see if we can work something out for the one night only stay.

Parking is on our property in front of our garage for two cars. If you bring two cars please park one behind the other.

During rainy winter months outdoor furnishings may be covered or put away for the season.

This entire Area is in the PGE (power Co) jurisdiction and the have advised when deemed fit they can cut the electricity. This inconvenience is out of of our control. It has never happened as of yet.

Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks!

Interaction with Guests

We can have as little or as much interaction as our guests would like.

The Neighborhood

We are located at the end of a gravel country lane. We have working ranches around us that have horses, dogs, chickens, tractors etc. This is the country!! We are a stones throw away from Los Olivos and downtown Santa Ynez. We are also located close to some great wineries, Roblar, Beckman, & Bridlewood just to name a few.

Getting around

The best way to get around is to drive. You can hire designated drivers if you are going to be drinking or wine tour companies. There are also bicycle rentals if you are feeling ambitious.

10mph down our country lane.

Please help us conserve resources and turn lights out when not home

I should not have to say this but due to a few folks not being respectful and taking care of our place I have to...
This is our home, not motel 6, please be respectful of it and take care of it and keep it tidy. Your cleaning fee is for the bedding, linens and sanitizing the bathroom, the basics. You need to wash your own dishes and keep the place neat. I know for 99% of the people it is common sense and I appreciate that. This is just for those few who need it spelled out for them..

Bookings canceled at least 60 days before the start of the stay will receive a 100% refund.
Bookings canceled at least 30 days before the start of the stay will receive a 50% refund.
Bookings canceled 30 days or less before the start of the stay are non refundable. Booking fees are at the discrepancy of VRBO

Relaxing environment
The farmhouse was the perfect place to to stay in the area. The farmhouse had everything we needed. Kris was easy to get a contact if we needed anything. The location was great for wineries or just checking out the area. Having the farm animals wandering around was an added bonus.

Incredible, Peaceful Getaway
This was a first for us, to stay on a farm. We always go to the coast. What a fabulous change of pace! The farmhouse is charming and very comfortable. It is so much fun feeding the chickens, geese, and turkeys that roam all around freely. And the African tortoise is huge. Kris, the host is wonderful and friendly. Will we stay here again? In a heartbeat. And we will recommend this wonderful home to our friends.

Perfect setting for a cozy weekend get-a-way! GREAT location!! My adult daughter and I spent the weekend exploring local towns. We were able to spend quiet evenings in the cottage catching up. The provided fresh eggs and homemade bread made for delicious breakfasts. We look forward to visiting the farm again!!!

Great place to stay
The Cottage was fantastic and Kris was very welcoming. I loved the homemade bread!!! Very nice touch. It was great waking up to the chickens and it was my first time face to face with a turkey. The location was great and the cottage clean and roomy. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Kris for a great weekend.

Cute Ranch Cottage
We had a splendid stay at Kris' Cottage in Santa Ynez. She answered any questions we had from the start, and had great ideas for things to do and wineries to visit. The kitchen was perfect for our breakfast and dinner needs, and it was quiet and cozy even with all of the chickens and other farm animals that stop by. Fun experience that we would love to come back to!

A quaint and quiet home away from home with everything you need. Beautiful views of the farm and animals from windows. Kris is a great hostess! She provides fresh eggs from the chickens on the farm, milk, coffee (plus decaf), teas, and oatmeal to start your morning. We will be back!

A Little Farm Gem
Amazing weekend! It began with meeting our host who stocked our farmhouse with homemade wine, jams, and warm fresh sourdough bread. We were also greeted by turkeys, geese, dogs and chickens! It was a piece of heaven. The little farmhouse was spotless and charming. Central location made our e bike riding to wineries a breeze! We will be a repeat visitors.!

Not to be missed!
We can’t wait to return! Kris greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the property. There were fresh eggs, warm bread with butter and jam and a bottle of wine with a sweet note welcoming us to the farm. We felt like we we’re staying with family, it was absolutely wonderful. The converted horse stable was so cozy, clean and inviting. Kris shared that she was helping to care for a baby goat and offered to let me feed her, something this city girl will never forget. Do not pass up an opportunity to stay here. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kris for everything, we will be seeing you soon ❤️ 🐓

Sweet sanctuary
Kris was a five star host and made me feel welcome from the git go. She welcomed me with fresh bread and a bottle of wine and fresh eggs in the refrigerator. Everything was wonderful. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Be advised if you are not a fan of birds this might not be the location for you, as there are chickens and turkeys and ducks and geese on site. Not a problem for me but felt I should share as an FYI. Again, everything was wonderful you will not be disappointed.
