About this property

Olive Branch Farm; A Sanctuary to Share

We have been airbnb hosts for 8 years, hosting our guest house. Please see our reviews.
We are now sharing our 4 bedroom home that we have lovingly raised our family in.
Our property is very special...full of love and serenity.
Imagine a 5 acre park with a pool. We have 17 Olive Trees that are over 100 years old that we have hung a hammock, created an outdoor dining space, and have provided lots of shade.
Our home is a very open indoor /outdoor design that allows families to move with ease to gather or find a private little nook to relax with a book.
Our attention to detail is such that you will be able to pick up a book and start reading if you have forgotten yours ( but please don't take home), cook a wine country dinner and eat outside under the olive trees, light the fire pit and pop some popcorn with our special kettle, Hot Tub under the stars, retreat to your suite and sleep soundly under quality lines. The potential vacation experiences go on and on.
Our little slice of heaven is meant to be shared with the many extraordinary travelers that are out there waiting for a place like ours.

Beautiful, well kept property nearby to Santa Ynez wine country. The home was roomy and well laid out, ample bed and bathrooms, with a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The property grounds were spectacular as a place to relax, eat, or swim. We would highly recommend.

Felt like home
From the first moment we arrived at Debbie’s house, we felt welcome. She greeted us and showed us around the house, which is very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The kitchen is exceedingly well-equipped, and her wonderful hospitality extended to all the goodies she left for us in the fridge – which included an absolutely delicious quiche, eggs and wonderfully fresh orange juice. The pool was great and the outside patios and yard are really spacious with lots of seating areas. It’s a delightful place, and Deb introduced my granddaughter to her pet goats, which was a lot of fun. One negative - there are no curtains on the French doors in the upstairs bedroom which leads out to a balcony. Privacy isn’t an issue, but light is, so you won’t be sleeping in. The house is well situated close to Solvang and Los Olivos with tons of wineries and other sites to visit.

Outstanding Magical Home
Debbie our Hostess is beyond gracious and accommodating. We arrived and Debbie met us and gave us a tour of her stunning home. Debbie had fully stocked her pantry and refrigerator with everything you will need and more. Upon our arrival she had wine chilled, a fresh quiche,cheese, bread, fresh tomatoes and strawberries. The refrigerator fully stocked with eggs, and condiments, creamer for our coffee. The most beautiful kitchen with everything you will need. The home is beyond beautiful. Debbie communicates well and very accommodating to all our needs. I just can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our stay. I have stayed many places but this was magical, she made sure everything was perfect. Thank you so much Debbie for making my birthday perfect!
