Everything about this home was spectacular, both inside and out, as well as the help and understanding of Pam Nelson, who so responsive all through our stay.

Great time

What a charming farmhouse! The landscape is like a storybook and so is the house inside. You can make up a new story for every room and artifact. We had a lovely time feeding handfuls of hay to the sweetest cows and also made a new frog friend in the outdoor fountain. Perfect for families.

Pam’s place is beautiful. We spent the whole weekend by the pool.

Simply WOW! This was the most amazing vacation ever. We wanted a getaway for rest and relaxation and we got so much more with this property... The dutch farmhouse was absolutely perfect. All of the rooms were large and the house decor was so fun. The pool has an electric cover on it and it stayed at a wonderful 84-88 degrees. My daughter spent all day with the longhorn cattle and fed them and sang songs to them. Everyday the neighbors invited us over to feed the goats and horses. I knew I would love Solvang, but I did not know that I would fall in love with this house. I am still overwhelmed with amazing memories of the property. It's 3 acres, so we played bocce ball in the back and still had room in the front for a soccer match. We swam a couple of times a day and relaxed the hot jacuzzi with jets. Pam is an incredible host. She responded to any questions so quickly and it really made a difference. This is not just another rental...this was a magical adventure for our family and we can't wait to book this property for next year. Thank you for the family memories.

We stayed at this property for a couple of nights for a quick girl's weekend in the valley. It was lovely! Such a wonderful property, especially the outdoor space. Pam was very accommodating and totally responsive to our questions. I was also able to bring my dog for a reasonable fee, and he had the best time romping around the huge wrap-around yard! I'm pretty sure he had the most fun out of all of us :).

The place looked great online, we had made plans to leave for food and festivities and wound up spending a lot of time at the property aside from wine tastings! Highly recommend and Pam was great to work with!

The Good Hand Ranch was perfect for our trip to Santa Ynez! My partner and I were married in Santa Barbara and stayed at the Good Hand for a couple of nights after with a few friends to celebrate in the quiet of wine country. The only “noise” we heard was the mooing of the highland cows out back. You can feed them! As perfect as our stay was, there were a couple of unannounced visits and we definitely saw people walking on the property at times, either workers of homeowners not sure. The spa was somewhat difficult to set up so make sure you get detailed instructions because you won’t find any in the house. Pam really stepped up and helped us figure it all out and we are able to eventually use the spa at our convenience. The views are beautiful and the customer care made up for any lost time with the spa. All in all I would highly recommend staying at the Good Hand Ranch!
