Charming Santa Ynez farmhouse

Charming Santa Ynez farmhouse. The farmhouse is situated on 4 acres and shared with dogs, cats, goats, geese, turkeys, tortoise, horses and chickens! We are on the property as well and in our own space. We can have as much or as little interaction as you would like.

The farmhouse is for two adults only, sorry no children.
You have approximately 750sf. with 2 separate sleeping areas to choose from. One is in the bedroom with a king size bed and the other is located in the living room. It is a cubby that has a queen size mattress in it. It is very cozy!
Kitchen amenities include, stove/oven, fridge, sink, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender and all the service ware you need! A Samsung 42" flat screen tv with Directv premium channels is provided for your viewing. A full bath with a shower and tub awaits you. There is also a workspace if you need to do some work while here. The place is airy and bright with lots of windows and doors to let in the natural light.
French doors open to a lovely private brick outdoor patio with BBQ, table & chairs and two lounge chairs. The patio/backyard faces a vegetable garden and is very private . During the day we have free roaming animals that you may encounter. We let the hens out about 7 or 8:00 am as they have an automatic door and they go to bed at dusk. The hens can make noise when laying an egg. We let the roosters out of the coop around 8:00am and they free range as well. The coop is out in a field away from the farmhouse by our barn and the roosters have a little sound proofing around where they sleep. But this is the country and you may hear ours and other neighbors roosters crowing or other animals. We also have pygmy goats, small dogs under 20 pounds, tortoise, geese, turkeys and horses along with ourselves on the property. This is a farm with animals that can make noises. There is an and pm feedings, it's a farm if animals are not your thing than we are not for you...
The farmhouse is for the paid guests only that book, no other sleep overs or other guests brought for entertaining etc. Booked/paid guests only. Sorry NO children or pets TWO GUESTS ONLY

We are located 2.5 miles from Los Olivos and downtown Santa Ynez. Santa Barbara is about 30 miles and Lake Cachuma is 13. The Danish town of Solvang is about 4 miles away. We are very close to some great winerys, Roblar, Beckman, & Bridlewood to name a few.

We do have wifi but it is satellite and very slow and not for streaming. It does allow you to do your basic internet searches and check email it is through a satellite dish which is the only option offered. This is nothing we can change as there are no other options offered in our location.

When weather and time permits bath and bed linens are dried on a clothes line.

Check in is 3pm and check out is 11am.

If you need a one night stay only you can check the calendar close to that date and if I do not have a booking I can see if we can work something out for the one night only stay.

Parking is on our property in front of our garage for two cars. If you bring two cars please park one behind the other.

During rainy winter months outdoor furnishings may be covered or put away for the season.

This entire Area is in the PGE (power Co) jurisdiction and the have advised when deemed fit they can cut the electricity. This inconvenience is out of of our control. It has never happened as of yet.

Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks!

I should not have to say this but due to a few folks not being respectful and taking care of our place I have to...
This is our home, not motel 6, please be respectful of it and take care of it and keep it tidy. Your cleaning fee is for the bedding, linens and sanitizing the bathroom, the basics. You need to wash your own dishes and keep the place neat. I know for 99% of the people it is common sense and I appreciate that. This is just for those few who need it spelled out for them..
