Beautiful Country cottage, near everything
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
Spent the Celebration of the Harvest weekend here with 3 other couples. House lived up to the billing,pictures were accurate. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds comfortable.Noel and her son live on the property so if you have any questions or problems they are there to take care of or help. The pool and hot tub are a nice touch, although the weather wasn't really swimming weather, we're from Chicago so we did swim ( mostly used the hot-tub ) but we did swim too..When you sit out back you are looking over vineyards and a neighbors horse farm, just beautiful country, however just a short, 3/4 mile walk and you're in downtown Los Olivos. We walk to town a few mornings and picked up bagel's and breakfast sandwiches at a local coffee shop, there are also 20+ tasting rooms downtown. Foxen Wine trail starts about 6 miles to the north-east and the Danish town of Slovang is about 7 miles the other direction.The house loos\ks smaller than it is from the outside but once inside there is plenty of space to rest ,relax, read... but we came for dining and wine tasting and it worked out great for us. The one thing that made the girls uncomfortable is on 2 evenings they heard something scratching on the walls, of course us big bad boys protected them of course and teased as well...It's in the country and wildlife lives there too so a squirrl or raccoon could have been looking for food, which we weren't prepared to share. All in all we had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for a great starting point for all things Santa Ynez, Santa Maria, and Slovang.....
