We had a wonderful stay at the guest house. Great location and scenery. Close to town, wineries and restaurants, but also tucked away enough to experience country living. Thank you Carissa and Chris! Can't wait to come back and visit. Cheers!

We had a great girls trip in Los Olivos. The location is perfect to drive or walk to downtown and have a quiet night at the end of the day :)

I wanted so badly to write something nice about this beautiful property! That is what I will say: the property is beautiful, but they will not let you walk it. The TV didn't work. I seriously tried everything and the host said "It was working before." It was never solved. The shower didn't work either, I had to stand very close to the wall and let the water dribble down on me. The bed sheets were COVERED in human hair. Top to bottom. So gross! There is a water cooler but it was out of water and they didn't refill it for us. The outside area is nice but the couches are covered in ants. Overall it seemed like they weren't prepared for us. The location was also worse than we expected, on the map it looked closer to town.

Carisa and Chris have the most beautiful home on a gorgeous, quiet property. The stars at night are amazing. The house is lovely, with loads of privacy. They were the most gracious hosts and made sure our stay was exceptional. I definitely recommend this home if you’re staying in the area.

Great communication from the hosts and the location can't be beat - an easy walk to the center of town. My only real complaints were that a lamp in the bedroom would be nice and the bed was pretty uncomfortable. Other than that, lovely stay!

Chris was really friendly and the house was spacious, clean, and relaxing. The property is gorgeous and we slept so well. It’s so quiet there but only a 2 minute drive to the adorable little town center of Los Olivos.

Awesome little cottage. Perfect for a couple. Beautiful property and lovely host. Would definitely stay again

We stayed here in September 2020, but I haven't had much of a chance to right a review until now. The host, Chris, greeted us on the long drive and escorted us to the guest house. His reception was very warm and inviting. I would recommend this vacation stay to anyone looking for a quiet get-away. We hope to go back again... soon.

The minuses- Expected more value for a pricey 1 bedroom. Moldy lawn furniture outside, cobwebs in window screen in bathroom (saw a small spider in bath tub), uncomfortable pull out sofa, had to hold the shower valve with one hand while showering to keep water coming from shower head, main door lock was touchy. Then told by property owner to not worry about the lock cause it was a safe neighborhood (we were two women travelling alone). Communication on things like how to work the TV and door lock was poor (had to text/phone at least three times for a response). The pluses- close to Los Olivos and guest house was very private and nicely decorated. With some maintenance, TLC, attention to details (little things that matter like stocking some cream for morning coffee) and better customer service and this could be a top notch property worth the high price tag.

We stayed over for 2 nights, and the property itself is beautiful! Perfect location only 3 minutes from downtown Los Olivos. The guest cottage is quite large and has it's own fenced in little yard, which is really nice. And the horses all around the property are beautiful to see, along with the beautiful grounds. Bed was comfortable. However, we were disappointed in the cleanliness of the unit. There was so much dust/dirt on the floors, that when I dropped my shirt, it was covered in gray muck when I picked it up. And there were hand prints all over the large mirror in the living room, showing that no cleaning had been done in the living area. Lampshades and ceilings/corners were covered in dust and spider webs. Glasses were dirty, had to clean by hand. Toilet was old and stained and didn't look clean. Bathroom faucet didn't work properly. The couch was just ok, as it seemed very old and dirty and was not comfortable. It was the only place to sit as all of the other furniture was hard wood only. And the outdoor couch pillows were beyond old and dirty. I'm sorry to point out all of the downsides, but when you are paying this much, it feels almost disrespectful of the guests to not have the lodging be in better shape, and actually have it cleaned properly. We were disappointed by that. So while the unit itself was great, and the owner was very nice and friendly, feeling like we were sleeping./staying in a dirty place overrode our full enjoyment and experience.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage just 1/2 mile to downtown Los Olivos. The grounds were beautiful, the cottage had rustic charm and was comfortable for our family of four.

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend in May 2021. The property is beautiful, filled with horse stables, large fields, and an amazing array of colorful flowers. The ranch is only a fifteen-minute walk to downtown Los Olivos, though crossing the busy highway 154 on foot can be a challenge. Our host, Chris, recommended taking the back streets rather than walking down the highway and this worked well. The best part of this rental is how close it is to everything. The guesthouse was private, quiet, and clean. The enclosed backyard is perfect for children or pets. There’s a large comfortable bed in the bedroom and a pull-out couch in the living room. The bathroom has a bathtub and the best water pressure. Seriously, that shower is amazing for washing off after a long hike. The wifi worked well and we had no issues streaming movies to our iPad. Likewise, the Apple TV with numerous streaming apps will keep anyone entertained. Just a heads up, there’s no microwave, so any cooking must be done on the stovetop. The best perk was the bottle of Syrah Chris provided while checking in. So delish! If you’re interested in hiking, I suggest heading up Figueroa Mountain Road a half hour to the Los Padres National Forest. The paved mountain road was easy enough to navigate with our little Prius, so four-wheel drive isn’t necessary. We hiked the La Jolla Trail to the Ballard Camp (2 hours) and the Davy Brown trail (4 hours). Both were inverse hikes where you start going down and the return uphill. The mountain views were spectacular and not to be missed. Overall, this rental is perfect for a weekend escape filled with wine, hiking, and sunshine!!!

We had a great time at Chris’ guest house. We slept four comfortably and enjoyed the outdoor space. Close to town and beautiful property to spend a weekend at.

So chill. A quiet and welcoming cottage and oh so close to excellent hikes and, you got it, wine.

Great property in Los Olivos. Clean and tranquil with ample amenities. Very close to the tasting rooms and restaurants.

We stayed at this property for six days and absolutely loved it! The guest house is in wonderful condition and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. We met the owners upon arrival and they showed us the guest house. They own a winery and gave us a complimentary bottle of wine with our stay. The guest house was very clean and everything was in good working order. There were extra blankets and towels if we needed them. We did not need any extra blankets because the heating system worked very well. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, plates, glasses and eating utensils. It did not have a microwave oven, but that was not a big deal because we used the stove and oven to cook our meals when we wanted. Otherwise, we got take-out food from Los Olivos.The location is ideal for both bike riding and hiking, of which we did both. Also, the scenery is incredibly beautiful from the guest house. As an added bonus, we were able to bring our dog with us and the guest house has a fully-enclosed yard for our dog to play in. The owners also let us walk our dog around certain portions of the property.We told the owners that my wife loved horses, and they were nice enough to show us their horses and their stables. They have beautiful horses and stables and at the owner's request, we only went there when we were accompanied by the owners. That was certainly understandable as the owners are professional horse people and did not want strangers wandering around their horses or the stalls. We were very appreciative of the tour.We would highly recommend this place to any of our friends. While it is not inexpensive, it was worth every dollar based upon the condition of the guest house (and the property in general) and the kindness and generosity of the owners.

Can’t beat the location and the surrounding property is gorgeous! Really perfect space for a couple on a wine getaway!

Really the most perfect place if you want to visit Los Olivos. Basically a block away walking distance from the Main Street. Beautiful area, comfortable non-tacky place

Great time in wine country. Super house in super location walking distance to Los Olivos. We would stay there again for sure. Rode our bikes to wineries nearby.

This guesthouse is on a beautiful horse farm. The place is very spacious and was plenty of room for us and our teen age son. The back yard provided to the guesthouse is very nice, fenced in, and our puppy really enjoyed that. Los Olivos is so wonderful, and we walked to the village every day and enjoyed biking around too. The hosts are great and they give you a free bottle of wine from their vineyard too! Can't wait to come back.

We loved staying at Chris's beautiful guest house! It was so quiet and private, and the private yard was an added bonus. House had everything we needed. Location is perfect as it is in a secluded neighborhood yet very close to Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, Los Olivos, Ballard, Solvang, and Gaviota for things to do doing the day. We can't wait to stay there again!

Amazing property and wonderful property owners. We had a memorable and special weekend in Los Olivos and it was made all the better by staying here. I cannot wait to get back to Los Olivos and stay with Chris and Carisa again!
