About this property

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 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.

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!!

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.

Amazing stay! Lucky find!

Mia is the best host we've ever had and we have rented a few properties on VRBO. The arrival experience was the best!! Mia made sure we knew exactly where we were going. She greeted us when we arrived. Showed us around the house and made sure we were comfortable before she left! She also had homemade cookies for us!!! Delicious!! The best part was the offer to make home made biscuits one morning for us!!! Unbelievable!! They were amazing!!! Her home is clean. well designed. well decorated, the layout was perfect and location is so convenient! We will be back for sure! Thank you Mia! Kristina and Adam

An awesome artisan hideaway near all the happenings!

This place is such a gem! We absolutely loved our stay here; Mia and Bryan are such gracious hosts. The first highlight was when we arrived: we were greeted with a box of the most delicious (and still warm) chocolate chip cookies I think I’ve ever tasted. I’m still thinking about them!!! The town of Los Olivos is so quaint and lovely, and this location really cannot be beat. You are literally close to everything - it’s only a block away from the flagpole which marks the very center of town. You can easily walk to all the amazing tasting rooms, restaurants and shops - and we did! But a huge part of the appeal for us was that we could easily explore and come back to the room any time we wanted to rest or cool down - all without needing to get in the car. Even being in the middle of everything, the whole town closes down by 8 or 9, so there’s no concern about getting a good night's sleep when you want it… the unit is private with its own entrance and restroom. The bed is fantastic and super comfortable. There’s a nice seating area with loveseat, TV, and a kitchenette complete with coffee and supplies, which we - as early risers - really appreciated. We were able to make our coffee in the morning and enjoy it in the outdoor patio seating area. It was so relaxing!!! (Our hosts even thought of putting an extra blanket in the closet which we used to ward off the slight early morning chill!) There is no lack of attention to detail, but one of our favorite things about staying here was discovering all the special touches and fixtures included throughout. So many pieces to appreciate! Bryan and Mia are both amazing artisans, and we just love the many unique touches they’ve crafted to adorn this sweet little hideaway. If you are lucky enough to stay here, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back!

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!
