Great location with beautiful scenery for two!
This adorable place is very clean and comfortable, with beautiful views of the surrounding vineyard, and mountain range in the distance. Modern, convenient, guest house is part of the larger barn in the vineyard. Lots of amenities provided: toiletries and paper products, fully equipped kitchen. The main living area has lots of natural light. There is even outdoor sitting areas with rocking chairs and an eating table with great views.
The location is right down the road from Roblar and Vincent wineries. Short, convenient drive to Los Olivos or downtown Santa Ynez.
Our hosts were wonderfully gracious and warm. They clearly take pride in their property and in making sure their guests feel welcomed and taken care of.
