About this farm stay rental

Magical equestrian private ranch in the heart of Santa Ynez wine country offering romantic getaways, family animal ranch experiences for all ages, or wine getaway weekends. The 10 acre Lone Sheep Ranch includes a lovely newly remodeled 3BDR/2.5BR home on a formerly famous equestrian estate with views of horses and farm animals in all directions. The ranch is 1 mile from downtown Santa Ynez and just a few minutes from Downtown Solvang.

Kids can learn to gather eggs from our chickens, visit with pet pigs, and learn appreciation for ranch life. Adults can enjoy a private jacuzzi, a glass of wine in one of the many outdoor sitting areas, or sit around the fire and enjoy the stars in the quiet surroundings. The ranch is walking distance from many fine restaurants and perfect biking distance from dozens of famous valley wineries. This flat valley surrounded by mountains is a biking and hiking paradise.

For pilots, we are 1 mile from Santa Ynez Airport (KIZA), and free shuttle and courtesy car may be available with prior arrangement.

Activities range from the simply enjoying the quiet country life with a glass of wine to possible animal interactions or adrenaline full adventures with seasonal glider rides, hot air balloon rides, mountain biking , and all levels of hiking and nature walks. The beach is 38 minutes away and offers all types of ocean/ water activities.

Susan and Alex are amazing hosts. Susan showed us around when we first arrived and I immediately felt at home. Beautiful property and guest house; we all enjoyed visiting with the ranch animals. Looking forward to my next visit here.

Everything was absolutely fantastic. When looking for places in the Santa Ynez/Los Olivos area to stay, there were a lot of options that were all quite similar to each other. But then I found the Lone Sheep Ranch and knew it would help make this trip a memorable one for our family. The property is gorgeous, and we made friends with three pigs, chickens, beautiful horses, the lone sheep, and even some cats and dogs. Everyone was friendly and extremely hospitable, and the house itself was spacious, clean, and perfect for our family of four. We will tell friends about this great property and hopefully visit again ourselves in not too long. Thank you!

My girlfriends and I booked Lone Sheep Ranch for our wine tasting reunion. We had not been back since 2021. We normally stay in town but decided to mix it up with staying at this ranch. It was so beautiful and tranquil. Very close to anything we needed for the weekend. We loved the bonus of the animals on the property. Check-in was very smooth and the hosts were wonderful. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. It was exceptional. We’ve stayed at places before where the future was “tired” and the kitchen was lacking. That was not the case with Lone Sheep. I highly recommend a stay at this property and I would love to return, either with my friends or my family. Thank you Lone Sheep Ranch for opening your beautiful place to us!

Such a great experience. The property manager/owners were so friendly and accomodating. The interaction with the animals was truly a highlight. The house was set up perfect for the 6 people we had. Beds and couch were comfortable and clean. The whole house was well kept, updated, and clean as well. We will definitely be back!

Susan did such an amazing job helping us get settled in. We were visiting for my mother in laws 73rd birthday, the house was perfect for the family. We all fit with more than enough space and there were a lot of great touches that made the stay even more perfect. The property itself is beyond gorgeous and theres so many awesome farm pals around to visit! I would highly recommend this space for anyone to visit!

Wow! Is pretty much all of our reactions. The Lone Sheep Ranch is everything it promises and so much more. The owners are lovely and their animals are beyond charming. The ranch is immaculate and the house we stayed in was all redone beautifully. They even stocked the fridge with fresh eggs and morning essentials. Some of the animals roam free and there is something beautiful to see out of every window. There was even a rainbow across the pasture. This is our new favorite place for sure!!!

We loved our stay here. The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They spent time talking to us about the ranch and letting us pet all the animals. Also, the ranch is so close to both Santa Ynez and Los Olivos town. recommend to anyone looking to spend some time wine tasting or to families looking to have an animal farm experience.

Enchanting visit at a fantastic location. Accomodations were perfect - spotless and comfortable. Surrounded by animals - sheep, pigs, cats, and dogs. Visiting with the horses was a wonderful plus in a beautiful ranch surrounding. The owner was just marvelous when we arrived an always available for us. We cant wait for our next visit.

We had an amazing stay at Lone Sheep. The rooms were spacious and had comfy beds! The open floor plan was great for all of us to gather around for a glass of wine. We didn't get you to use the jacuzzi but definitely will next time! I would recommend this stay to anyone interested in going to the Santa Ynez or Los Olivios area! Thank you again!

The location is wonderful, located on a family owned, working horse ranch/property. The grounds are well kept, quiet, and relaxing with places to sit and enjoy the sunsets or sunrises! Owners Susan and Alex were easy to work with, are welcoming, and made sure all was well throughout the stay. It’s obvious they take pride in the property which was clean and stocked with necessities. Susan even made sure we had some snacks and items for breakfast on arrival should we need them. The Ranch is within minutes of Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang…take your pick of shopping, wine tasting, good food, the casino, and much more to enjoy! Our tip…venture out but definitely take advantage of the well equipped kitchen/bbq and enjoy time at the ranch with family or friends like we did!

Lone Sheep Ranch exceeded all expectations, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay! Beautiful home and ranch, with close access to nearby Los Olives, Solvang, and Santa Ynez. Clean, comfortable with 3 large bedrooms that more than met the needs of the 5 of us staying. We highly recommend, and will definitely be back to stay again.

The house accommodations are immaculate and with very tasteful interior design. Everything has been well thought through. All very clean and comfortable. Great kitchen where my kids and I were able to put together a full Father’s Day brunch, including Eggs Benedict for seven, homemade hollandaise and all! But honestly, what sets this property apart in outside the house. The breathtaking surroundings and visiting with all the animals. We all need a moment like this in our lives, where you can just be. We’re already planning our next visit to get ahead of the booking battles that are sure to be in issue as the word spreads about this gem. Thanks Susan and Alex for making my daughters commencement even more memorable 😀

We had a great time staying with Susan and Alex. The hosts were so friendly and helpful upon arrival. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the animals on the farm, it was so memorable. The house was in great shape and spacious. Plenty of outdoor areas to relax with a glass of wine and watch the kids play. It was also in a great location and so close to downtown SY, Solvang and Los Olives. The rooms are a little bright in the morning, so I'd recommend bringing an eye mask if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay! We will be back for sure.

We had a wonderful time on our stay at Lone Sheep Ranch. The owners were lovely hosts - so welcoming, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The house was perfect. Well equipped and appointed, tastefully decorated, light, airy, comfortable. Our whole group (teens through grandparents) were pleased. The ranch itself is a beautiful setting and so fun to have all the animals around. We couldn't have been happier.

This property is very special. The location is fantastic. The owners are so welcoming and helpful. The house is perfect - well-furnished, comfortable, clean and charming. The hot tub provided a welcome respite at the end of each day. The kids will remember their interactions with the sweet animals (especially the pigs) for years to come!

I love being able to walk to all the great restaurants in Santa Ynez. The house is even nicer than it appears in the pictures. The entire ranch property is beautiful. As you enter the property, keep an eye out for Smoky the sheep. You’ll probably see him hanging out with one of his horse friends. If you see Susan on the property, you should ask her if you can give the pigs a treat. But don’t forget to make them sit like nice pigs first. So much fun.

Our stay at the ranch was so much more than we could have imagined. Alex and Susan are wonderful hosts. The 3 bedroom house accommodated our entire family ranging from 7 weeks old baby to 90 year old great grandmother. The beautifully decorated house has all the necessary amenities and so much more. Very comfortable beds as well as all the comforts of home. The grounds are pristine…perfect for great photo opps! The horses, pigs, chickens and sheep give you the real feel of being on a ranch. Wine tasting is just a short bike ride away as well as the cute Santa Ynez town. We will definitely be back for another great getaway. I highly recommend this property!!
