Country living
The house is lovely and set up for a group of guests to really enjoy r&r and spending time with each other. The home is cozy overall, the jacuzzi and sauna were a nice bonus. The views are great. There is a lot of wildlife to listen to at night- wolves, bobcats and frogs were aplenty.

Marvellous venue!
It is a beautiful property! We were in Buellton for a wedding and this was ideal. We loved looking over the vineyards and picking the plums and peaches min the back yard. The fire pit and hot tub were also a hit with our family.

Solvang Elle's wedding
Great place, quiet location but close to town. Lots of room for us to spread out and kids loved walking down the driveway on our daily walks. Lots of birds. When I had a question the property manager answered and completely solved my problem.

Magical Trip to Solvang
We were taking our daughter to orientation at UCSB and have a big family. The Solvang house was perfect! The kitchen is clean and has all of the necessary equipment to cook a big meal. The communication from the host was perfect. The property is beautiful and safe. We would love to return. Thanks so much!

Wedding Stay
This is a fabulous property and ranch. The view and location are stunning. It is convenient to everything we did and is one of the most beautiful places we have had the great fortune to choose for our lodging for my daughter’s wedding in the SB wine country. Unforgettable memories and a perfect choice. Loved every minute we were in residence. Dave T.
