About this property
Updated duplex apartment in downtown Santa Ynez!
Truly a unique getaway experience while staying in what is known as “A Sophisticated Cowboy Town” — Santa Ynez. Here you will find the main street resembles an old movie set. Dotted with the valley’s best restaurants, charming shops, art, and a museum, you will have plenty to savor from your cozy hideout.
Breath in and relax as you enjoy this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home, with a lovely living space, fully equipped kitchen, and enclosed backyard that has outdoor seating and a BBQ.
You can almost see the stagecoach passing under the mature oak trees that are nearby. Steps Away Cottage has been fully renovated with newer flooring, fixtures, and amenities. Park the car and stay awhile while enjoying a walk to morning coffee and a stroll back, meandering through shops and country lanes. You could spend the entire time at your leisure as you experience the refuge of your stay. However, if you so desire, you are only moments away from all the wineries, European moments of Solvang, and wide-open spaces of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Want a little nightlife? Head on down to Maverick Saloon — there, you might find a live band, a few local cowboys, and a simple BBQ. And yes, there is still a hitching post for those that arrive on horseback. Even in the country, you have access to free high-speed internet and a large flat-screen TV while you settle in, get caught up, and enjoy a movie or sports broadcast. Whether you are traveling with friends, as a couple or a family, there is plenty to enjoy at the Steps Away Cottage.
Location-Location-Location! Just steps away! Heart of Santa Ynez Valley! SY Kitchen, one of many favorite restuarants, is located just across the street.
