Private guest casita among the California Oaks on San Marcos Pass

Small, private, studio suite with dedicated entrance and private patio. Located less than a mile from the famous Cold Spring Tavern and countless hiking, and dirt bike trails. Ride your motorcyle and enjoy the breathtaking views. Located about a 15 minute drive to State Street for great shopping and tasty restaurants. Take a short drive down the mountain to many SB beaches or 15 minute drive to Solvang and many wineries. Or just hang out at the casita and enjoy the serenity of the forest.

The private casita was perfect for my stay! It had everything I needed, was clean, and had A/C which was perfect. Its secluded and easy access, plus the hosts were very responsive and great! A really unique and great find, would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful tiny home in the hills of Santa Barbara

My fiance and I spent a lovely weekend at this property for our anniversary. The check-in process was seamless, the host was very communicative and the spot was exactly as described in the listing. We loved our stay and would most definitely come back.

Great stay!

The Casita was the perfect spot in the mountains for a weekend away. It has everything 1 person or a couple could need to relax and recharge. The host was a great communicator to boot!

Great little getaway

This tiny house was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was definitely a tiny house but had everything we needed for the weekend and very comfortable. Highly recommend if you're looking to stay somewhere far enough from the city to feel like you're on retreat, but close enough to enjoy a night out.

Secluded and amazing tiny home

This newly built and fully stocked tiny home in the mountains between Goleta and Santa Barbara, is perfect for a weekend getaway. It’s twenty minutes away from everything and still secluded when you want to unwind from daily sightseeing, kayaking, eating, and other activities. Pam was very communicative and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay along the way. Their dog, Hank, was the sweetest boy ever! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely loved it!

My daughter and I loved the tiny little house!! It was absolutely perfect! Cozy, clean, so cute, all the amenities we needed! And my favorite part was falling asleep to the sounds of crickets up in the hills. It was so calm and peaceful!! And the views on the way up were amazing!! Pam was a delight!! Very responsive and helpful with everything! Can’t wait to stay again soon!

Very clean and great layout. Beautiful location. Great for a weekend getaway. Close enough to SB but far enough to feel rural.

We had a wonderful stay at Pam and Mike’s charming casita! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt fresh and newly renovated. Perfectly sized and comfortable for two, it made for a relaxing getaway. The location was ideal—just minutes from Santa Ynez wineries, Cold Spring Tavern, and only a quick 15-minute drive up the hill from Santa Barbara. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

We had such an amazing weekend getaway in Santa Barbara! The home was cozy, spotless, and clearly recently renovated — everything felt fresh, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. It was the perfect place to come back to after a day out exploring. The location was peaceful and quiet, tucked up in the mountains with beautiful views and the most incredible starry skies at night. We loved sitting outside in the evenings just taking it all in.It had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay, and we felt right at home the entire time. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making this space welcoming for guests. Overall, it was the perfect retreat for a relaxing weekend — we’d definitely love to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Dogs barking in the middle of the night and a cat outside the tiny casita door crying all night it hard to get a good night sleep. The place was soooooo tiny it had an automatic aromatic spray with no air circulation that trigger my allergies. We got the place for two nights and only stayed for one night. And it’s over priced for such a tiny tiny place and the location. It was not what I saw on the picture.
