We found this little gem in the perfect neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Rivera. Leading up to the stay, we had several conversations with the property owner which helped us prepare. The little casita was immaculately clean, safe, convenient, and adorable, with plenty of amenities. I was amazed at how quiet it was. The location is perfect for walking all around in Los Olivos. Property owners were warm and welcoming and have thought of everything. We highly recommend it!!

I stayed at Mia’s studio apartment to is past weekend and it was perfect. Exactly as listed, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Plus only a short 1-block walk into town. And she even brought homemade scones to me one morning! The perfect spot to stay if hotels in town are sold out or you are looking for a more modest accommodation. Highly recommend.

Great little place. Perfect location for everything you want to do in Los Olivos, and centrally located in the broader Santa Ynez valley. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the charming property and our hosts. One block from downtown and the wine tasting and restaurants. Everything was wonderful!

Mia was an absolutely amazing host and made our celebration weekend really special. Someone had a last-minute cancelation, and she very kindly upgraded us to the King Retreat, which was extra spacious and had the cutest balcony with a heater. Everything about the apartment was perfect - bed was also comfy. There is complete privacy in the apartment, completely separate from and away from the host’s home. She had all kinds of coffee options (keurig, pour over, a grinder, etc), and she even left us homemade cookies when we arrived! During our stay, she also offered us homemade buttermilk biscuits for the next morning, which made our stay so special. Mia was a great communicator when we needed her, while also giving us our space. And the location was so walkable and central to all the wineries in town. Would definitely return!

So happy we found this charming studio while traveling through Los Olivos!! We loved it! Super clean, and very cozy! Communication with Mia was outstanding, and she even had homemade cookies waiting for us! Yum! We walked to downtown for wine tasting and a super delicious dinner. One of the most comfortable sleeps ever, oh my gosh the bed was great! Mia spoiled us with homemade blueberry scones before our checkout! Wonderful experience and we’ll only stay at Mia’s place while visiting Los Olivos!

This is an wonderful place to spend a romantic and beautiful time. Mia, the host and owner of the property, completely went all the way to make my wife and myself feel welcome and simply enjoy our stay in Casa Rivera and Los Olivos. Truly recommend this play for an amazing get-away.

Fantastic experience! Exactly what we were looking for! Mia was a wonderful host and even made us delicious blueberry scones for breakfast and gave us warm chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven as a welcome treat! Highly recommend Casa Rivera for a weekend getaway.!

We absolutely loved staying here. Perfect location. Mia was spot on with recommendations to eat and so friendly. Great space for my husband and I. Mia's homemade cookies and biscuits were a bit of heaven. Can't wait to come back!

My wife and I had a really great time staying at Casa Rivera. Mia was a fantastic host with great communications. Couldn't have been happier with our stay. Thank you

The owner of the property was fabulous! She was communicated with us well on our day of arrival, to make everything seamless. And so unexpectedly, she made us biscuits & jam for my boyfriend… & because I’m gluten free made the yummiest best blueberry scone I’ve ever eaten! We would definitely go back!!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Rivera! The location was perfect, as it was just a short walk to the charming downtown area with its many tasting rooms and shops. The apartment itself was well-appointed, with comfortable furnishings, a well-equipped kitchenette, and an outdoor space for enjoying the beautiful weather. The homemade biscuits and original artwork in the apartment were exceptional! Our host, Mia, was very responsive and helpful, making sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, we highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a lovely getaway in Los Olivos!" Jason and Darcy

Mia is the best host we've ever had and we have rented a few properties on VRBO. The arrival experience was the best!! Mia made sure we knew exactly where we were going. She greeted us when we arrived. Showed us around the house and made sure we were comfortable before she left! She also had homemade cookies for us!!! Delicious!! The best part was the offer to make home made biscuits one morning for us!!! Unbelievable!! They were amazing!!! Her home is clean. well designed. well decorated, the layout was perfect and location is so convenient! We will be back for sure! Thank you Mia! Kristina and Adam

One of the best places we have ever rented. The apartment was very comfortable and had a nice layout. Mia has thought of everything, lots of little touches that enhance your stay, especially her delicious baked goods. The location is great, close to town, shopping, wine tasting and highly rated restaurants all within a block. We had a very relaxing weekend and can’t wait to return.

Our stay at Casa Rivera was amazing! Mia was easy to communicate with, super helpful, and made sure we had a wonderful stay. She even baked us delicious angel biscuits and delivered them fresh out of the oven! The space was exactly as described and was the perfect cozy getaway within easy walking distance from all the incredible wine tasting rooms and restaurants of Los Olivos. My wife and I would definitely stay here again!

It is a comfortable little place with everything you could need for a fun get away. It is so close and convenient for wine tasting and restaurants. The host Mia was lovely and bake like and angel! Each day we received something absolutely delicious!

Mia was great in welcoming us with cookies and biscuits in the morning. Location was perfect, just a block from downtown Los Olivos for wine tasting and restaurants. Thank you!

Lovely detached apartment, quiet, private, nicely appointed and sparkling clean. Host was friendly, very helpful with great recommendations. Parking space provided. 5 minute walk into Los Olivos. Highly recommend.

Everything about this stay was first class. The studio is well appointed with everything you will need for your stay. Mia and Bryan are available for any questions or needs you may need. The warm chocolate chip cookies that were waiting on check in were delicious. Mia treated us also to homemade streusel coffee cake one morning. We are looking forward to our next visit to Los Olivos, and hope this studio will be available when we visit again.

Mia is a wonderful host and was easy to communicate with. The space was perfect for us to access all we wanted. Free baked cookies and biscuits were the cherry on top. Would love to stay again.

Our host, Mia, was very welcoming and communicative, and made sure that we were comfortable during our stay. Detailed directions for how to reach the property were provided along with instructions on most things you would need. This made our entire stay easy from beginning to end. The room was clean, comfortable, and inviting. We were provided with an abundance of towels and several blankets to enjoy the small nook just outside the room. The kitchen was stocked with tea, coffee and several different devices to brew a cup, including a coffee machine, pour over set, and french press. The small fridge even had half and half and two different types of non-dairy creamer! And we were even lucky enough to get unexpected and delicious homemade cookies and other treats to enjoy. They really went above and beyond to make this stay great. We had a great time staying at Casa Rivera and hope to visit again soon. Thank you for your hospitality, Mia!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay!! The room is cozy and bright and the artwork (all hand-made by the hosts) is beautiful. Mia was a terrific host. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, greeting us with delicious cookies and it just got better from there! We especially enjoyed the little patio, where we enjoyed a quiet afternoon. The property is within convenient walking to all of Los Olivos. We highly recommend.

Owner was super friendly and was very helpful during our stay. Even received some awesome fresh cookies. Would definitely stay here again and it’s right in middle of the town so everything is within walking distance!

We absolutely loved Casa Rivera! We were celebrating our 35th anniversary and fell in love with the cozy room, the lovely art surrounding us, the attention to detail, the nature scenery, and the perfect location that meant no driving for us. We loved being greeted by warm chocolate cookies at check-in and warm biscuits for breakfast another day. Truly, this is a hidden gem and we are so grateful to both Mia and Bryan for the love made real in our room through their art work and the meal we shared together. I know there would be no other place that would have been as lovely and accommodating. Mia made our stay perfect with great suggestions and attention to detail. Our stay at Santa Barbara and Temecula could not compete. We will definitely be back to Casa Rivera!

Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic experience from beginning to end - owner/manager is an exceptional communicator - amazing location - close to Los Olivos downtown - a short walk - the unit is all you need for 2 people - quaint and comfortable -everything you need

It was wonderful and owner made cookies for us.

Mia was an outstanding hostess! Warm, fresh-baked cookies greeted us upon arrival, and the property had everything we could have needed. This is the perfect spot for a quiet escape, walking distance to wine tastings and charming restaurants. We would definitely use this property again in the future!

This place is such a gem! We absolutely loved our stay here; Mia and Bryan are such gracious hosts. The first highlight was when we arrived: we were greeted with a box of the most delicious (and still warm) chocolate chip cookies I think I’ve ever tasted. I’m still thinking about them!!! The town of Los Olivos is so quaint and lovely, and this location really cannot be beat. You are literally close to everything - it’s only a block away from the flagpole which marks the very center of town. You can easily walk to all the amazing tasting rooms, restaurants and shops - and we did! But a huge part of the appeal for us was that we could easily explore and come back to the room any time we wanted to rest or cool down - all without needing to get in the car. Even being in the middle of everything, the whole town closes down by 8 or 9, so there’s no concern about getting a good night's sleep when you want it… the unit is private with its own entrance and restroom. The bed is fantastic and super comfortable. There’s a nice seating area with loveseat, TV, and a kitchenette complete with coffee and supplies, which we - as early risers - really appreciated. We were able to make our coffee in the morning and enjoy it in the outdoor patio seating area. It was so relaxing!!! (Our hosts even thought of putting an extra blanket in the closet which we used to ward off the slight early morning chill!) There is no lack of attention to detail, but one of our favorite things about staying here was discovering all the special touches and fixtures included throughout. So many pieces to appreciate! Bryan and Mia are both amazing artisans, and we just love the many unique touches they’ve crafted to adorn this sweet little hideaway. If you are lucky enough to stay here, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at "Casa Rivera" (as the hosts call it) was nothing short of amazing! The place was cute, clean, and had everything that we needed to feel at home away from home, including a welcome box of freshly baked cookies (yes, they were delicious) and games we were able to play together. I loved that the studio has dimension, giving the area separation of space. The bed was very comfortable and we really enjoyed having our morning coffee/tea, as well as dinner out in the patio nook... The miniature kitchen with the miniature oven and amenities was so cute and thoughtful, with an electric tea kettle, coffee maker, dairy and sugar free creamer in the fridge, plus all the other kitcheny things... OH, and there was even a gallon of water already there for us! I also loved that I was able to borrow a yoga mat, and there was a hamper in the closet; even though the hamper is for the towels upon checkout, it was really nice to have a place to put our used laundry during our stay. The location was perfect; the property is not even a full block away from the downtown Los Olivos shops, tasting rooms, and restaurants. Once we parked at the property, we didn't need to get back into our car until we decided to take a 10min drive to Solvang. Mia and Bryan truly are SUPERHOSTS who really care about the quality of their guests' experience. By the way, if you are ever offered the meal option with your stay, I highly recommend it- it's so worth it!

We had a lovely experience at Mia and Bryan's adorable place in Santa Ynez, perfectly located walking distance to all the in-town wineries and shops. It was a coffee lovers dream! Our hosts offered many options for making fresh coffee in the morning or any time of day. They thought of every possible detail for how we could make our own custom coffee early in the morning in our jammies so we didn't have to leave our cozy abode for our morning caffeine fix. The room was great. As an artist, I noticed all the attention to detail in the art, colors and furnishings. Had a great night's sleep - the bed was very comfortable and really appreciated the separate seating area where I was able to sit and read while my husband slept in. We also loved sitting in the outdoor area under the two big shade trees which felt very private. The air-conditioning unit kept the temperature cool on a warm day and the smell of chocolate chip cookies when we arrived was a thrill and tasting those yummy treats throughout our stay and back at home (there were enough to savor for days!) helped us keep our memories and extend the good feelings of our time away. Hosts Bryan and Mia were incredibly warm and went beyond the basics. This will definitely be our go to spot in the valley. We can't wait to return!
