An Iconic Spot in the Santa Ynez Valley
This property is truly iconic. Our family had a stay that we will never forget. Was for certain one of our best VRBO experiences ever.
For starters, Jeff Hartman was a truly amazing host. He took extra time to tell us stories of the local area and the amazing history of the property. All of our guests truly appreciated it. It was a unique, personal touch.
The property is beyond description -- perched over the entire Santa Ynez valley you will have unobstructed views for miles...in one direction overlooking the valley...and the other looking back towards the Santa Barbara coast.
The decor is both premium and homey. You feel like you are truly staying in your own ultra luxe vacation home. Lots of great sitting areas to visit with family and talk while enjoying endless amazing views. For art lovers, the house is a true paradise -- the home is full of so many beautiful paintings you will enjoy walking past and admiring day after day.
The structure itself is truly unique...it is a conversion of a massive old barn...constructed of reclaimed wood from a pier in Monterrey, CA. The center of the house is a huge open space with wall-to-wall Mexican tile and beautiful chandeliers. Our group affectionately called it "The Plaza" where we came together from our separate quarters to begin each day. We'll never forget our stay and Jeff's hospitality. He would check in every couple of days to make sure we were having a perfect stay. One of a kind experience.
