We have stayed here a few times and love it. The house is beautiful and very clean with plenty of space for a large group. The views and surrounding hillsides are amazing. We did have an issue where the AC broke right before we arrived but I appreciated that Michelle let us know right away and scheduled a repair person to fix it for the next morning. Then it was fixed and all was good. We always have a great time here and can't stay away!

My husband and I were joined by four other adult family members for the week of July 4 and enjoyed our stay very much notwithstanding record heat. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable.

We couldn't have been happier with this stunning property and amazing location for our girlfriend reunion. The spacious, wonderfully appointed and comfortable hilltop home, surrounded by expansive views of the Santa Ynez Valley and mountains, was the perfect place for relaxation, conversation, and reconnection. While there is so much to do in the area, it is the home itself that made for the best getaway ever. We are already hoping for a return visit in the future! Thank you, Michelle, for your kind communications and clear instructions on accessing and caring for your amazing home.

We are a group of 7 longtime friends who’ve stayed at this wonderful home for a second time. We hope to stay again! The hilltop home is beautiful both inside and out with amazing views from every window. Plenty of privacy and you’ll appreciate the quiet. Immaculate inside, well maintained, and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well equipped too. Lots of room to spread out & enjoy personal space. Quick responses from the homeowner and fast and friendly check-in. We all loved this conveniently located home in a lovely area.

We had a wonderful family get away. It is a very comfortable home and well stocked with necessary items. The location is perfect for visiting the town, shops and the Ostrich ranch is great fun. We bought an egg and that egg provided 3 meals for 8 people.

The house is amazing - tons of comfortable space and bedrooms - the views from the patio(s) and the bedrooms are stunning! Michelle is exceptionally responsive to any questions which is so refreshing. I know we will look for this property again when we return to this beautiful area!

We have traveled all over the country with our group of friends and this is one of our favorite places we have stayed over the years. The house was very accommodating for a group of 8, very open and spacious and the views are amazing! We did not want to leave the property. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen and not wanting for anything. The only negative is the dim lighting in the living/dining area and I mention that only because we are an older group and some with not the best of eye sight in a darker setting. Overall we loved our stay and hope to visit again.

The property was great. It was up on a hill with a wonderful view. The property is well maintained. The house was very clean. We loved how big the house was and it accommodated us very well. Sitting outside on the patio was one of our favorite things to do.
Michelle was great. She kept in touch with me and always answered my text messages promptly.
We highly recommend this property.

Amazing home, breathtaking views and very smooth check in/out process!
Would certainly book again, and would definitely recommend to friends/family.
P.S. the property had such a good vibe, all nine of us felt and enjoyed it!

The property is beautifully situated on a hill with spectacular views. It was perfectly equipped with all of the essentials and location to Solvang and Los Olivos was less than 10 mins. We would Lavender Hill again!

This was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away with some girlfriends to celebrate my birthday and sip some wine. Hoping to return at some point in the future!

Wonderful views in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to amenities, but feels like you’re very secluded up on the hill. Great time with friends in wine country.

My family enjoyed the home. The rooms were spacious. We were able to have meals together and play games and watch movies. Great views and not far from the shops and restaurants. The house had everything we needed and appreciate the quick response to my questions. Thanks again. Hope to come back again…..😊

My family of seven stayed for a week and we had an incredible vacation. The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. There was no shortage of space for sleeping, showering, relaxing and having family meals. There was plenty of kitchenware for grilling and cooking, and the selection of yard and board games kept everyone entertained when we weren’t taking in the beautiful views from the hilltop where the house sits. The location was great if you are looking for that combination of peace and quiet while being only a few short minutes away from everything the area has to offer. We easily made multiple visits to both Solvang and Santa Barbara. We also found it very convenient having a grocery store just a couple minutes away allowing us to pick up food throughout the week as our meal plans constantly changed. The property manager and homeowner were extremely nice and communicative during our stay. This home will be my first choice when returning to the area. I would highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely, phenomenal! Exceeded all of our expectations! We were a family of nine and we created memories that will last a lifetime. The owner and property manager were incredibly responsive. But we really didn’t need them. Absolutely everything we could have wanted was there. The room layouts were perfect. Beds were comfortable. We cooked a lot and everything we needed was available. And the views were unbelievable! Absolutely one of the most wonderful homes we’ve ever stayed in. And Solvang has changed a lot. It’s a great destination!

We had a family wedding to attend in Los Olivos…this home was absolutely everything we could have asked for and more! Perfectly situated between so many beautiful towns and a short drive to Santa Barbara! Michelle was informative, extremely attentive and helpful! We would love to visit again some day!

Beautiful property with gorgeous views of rolling hills, alpacas and cute bunny rabbits. House was spacious and accommodated my family’s needs. The outdoor furniture needed refurbishing but the owner said that was in the works. We had a lovely time in this very peaceful environment.

Wonderful property and location; we greatly enjoyed our stay. Would certainly revisit.
10.0 / 10.0
The house has stunning views and was very spacious. Fully equipped with cooking utensils, grill, and spices. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plenty of room for a family of 4, family of 3, and another family of 4 with kids ranging from 1-8 year olds. The kids really enjoyed the family of rabbits casually hanging outside and the games (corn hole/ yoga mats/ dominoes/ jenga). Only downside was having to find our own pack and plays.
Location was 5 minutes from town and less than 10 minutes from casino. Property manager and owner were very helpful when my brother left his wallet in house after check out. Overall would stay there again.

Wonderful spacious home with plenty of beds for a crowd. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The outside space was fabulous. Beautiful views and multiple seating arrangements to gather, including a hot tub. It had everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. Just wish it had a washer/dryer.

Michelle met us at the the house and showed us around her beautiful home. We hung out and talked on the two porches, watching the neighbors llamas and some burros who enjoyed sliding down the hill. The views were spectacular! Inside we found the living room, dining room and kitchen large enough to accommodate all six of us. Michelle’s home was a relaxing place to gather after out daily wine tasting. We hope to return! 🍷

As a group of friends we came from all over the country and needed a time to reflect and relax before heading back to the city. This place was perfect! Enough space for everyone and it is gorgeous. There are a lot of rules but they’re there for a reason. I would go back in a second.

Would not hesitate to recommend this place! My extended, multigenerational family of 11 celebrated my father’s 80th birthday together at this beautiful home. Michelle was super helpful when (due to a storm) we had a power outage. Yes, there are extensive and detailed care instructions that come with the house but anyone who respects other people’s property will have no trouble following them.

Would definitely stay again!! There are a lot of rules to follow, but the rules should not be hard to follow for respectful guests.
