Heritage House ~ Living Art ~ Steps from Bell St

RENAISSANCE IDEALS. PIONEER SPIRIT. A LITTLE MISCHIEF.

Welcome to Heritage House, the oldest standing home in Los Alamos (1882), restored as living art. Sleeping up to 10, with wildly original interiors, a swinging Bali bed, secret-feeling nooks, lush private courtyards and a little magic around every corner. Just steps from Bell Street's tasting rooms, restaurants and shops. Historic? Absolutely. Stuffy? Never. Intimate weddings and private events available by separate arrangement.



THE HOUSE — LIVING ART, MEANT TO BE LIVED IN

Step inside 144 years of California history, lovingly restored with a philosophy as old as the house itself: buy next to nothing new.

Original stained glass, century-old redwood, hand-carved woodwork, heirloom finds and unexpected art coexist with modern comforts and a healthy sense of humor. Every piece has a story. Nothing is cookie-cutter. Nothing is here merely to be admired.

This isn't a museum. It's a place to make memories.



A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

• The Bali Bed — A one-of-a-kind swinging daybed tucked into a wood-paneled covered patio. Read, nap, sip wine or do absolutely nothing.

• Kissing Cove — A cheeky little corner made for romance, photographs and stolen kisses.

• Named Rooms + Artistic Surprises — Distinctive spaces, original artwork, vintage treasures and playful details throughout.

• The Speakeasy — A dedicated bar area for cocktails, conversation and a little after-dark mischief.

• Smokey Joe — Our life-size stagecoach art installation out front. Yes, really.

• Thoughtful Comforts — Beautifully considered interiors, modern amenities and even a Toto bidet. Because we believe luxury and personality should coexist.



YOUR PRIVATE GARDEN WORLD

Step outside and discover an entirely different side of Heritage House.

• Lush Courtyards — Mature trees, climbing roses, garden seating and beautiful little places to disappear.

• Covered Patios — Shaded outdoor living spaces for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening wine.

• Fire Pit + BBQs — Gas and charcoal grills for outdoor dining, fireside conversation and long evenings under the stars.

• Outdoor Dining + Gathering Spaces — Outdoor furnishings, café lights and inviting places to share a meal.

• Wine Barrel Fountains — A little movement, a little music, and the soothing sound of water in the gardens.

The courtyards feel worlds away, yet you're only half a block from the heart of Los Alamos.



THE HERITAGE HOUSE WAY

We believe the most beautiful things are often the ones that already exist.

Heritage House was restored with an eco ethos and an obsession for giving extraordinary materials another life. Vintage and antique furnishings, salvaged architectural details and thoughtfully chosen reusable pieces are part of the experience.

We don't believe in buying "fast furniture" to make something beautiful.

Set a gorgeous table. Pour the wine. Use the good dishes. Celebrate beautifully.



LOS ALAMOS — RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

Los Alamos is one of California wine country's most charming, quirky little towns — historic, creative, wonderfully unpretentious and full of surprises.

• Walk to Bell Street's wine tasting rooms, restaurants, bakeries and boutiques

• Half a block from the historic 1880 Union Hotel

• Explore the town's galleries, vintage shops and distinctive local businesses

• Minutes to Santa Ynez Valley vineyards and wineries

• Easy access to Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Solvang and the surrounding wine country



GATHER BEAUTIFULLY

Heritage House is also available for intimate weddings, private celebrations, creative gatherings and special occasions.

With its intentional design, distinctive interiors, intimate courtyards, outdoor dining areas and beautiful vintage furnishings, the property offers a setting that's anything but ordinary.

Events, outside visitors and gatherings beyond the registered overnight guests require advance approval and separate arrangements. Lodging reservations do not automatically include event use.



A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

• The entire home, private courtyards, gardens and designated outdoor living areas are yours to enjoy during your stay.

• Heritage House is a historic property filled with original materials, antique furnishings and one-of-a-kind pieces. Please treat them with care.

• Heritage House sleeps up to 10. Nightly rates include up to 4 registered guests; guests #5–10 are $85 per person, per night.

• Dogs are welcome for $50 per pet, per night. Please see the house rules for pet requirements.

• Only registered overnight guests are permitted unless additional visitors have been approved in advance. Events, gatherings and outside visitors require separate advance approval.

• Cancellation terms are those displayed for your specific reservation at booking.

ONE LAST THING



Add your good energy to this historic house. Drop a wish or intention into the Kissing Cove mail slot, where it disappears into the wall — a tribute to the treasures we discovered hidden within these walls during our 2024–25 restoration. Perhaps 150 years from now, someone will uncover the hopes and dreams of those who passed through these doors, adding their own chapter to the story of Heritage House.



Come make a little history of your own.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Overall this was a fantastic home to stay in during our weekend in Los Alamos. The space was clearly curated to create a unique experience for guests. Every corner of the home presented a new adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The home was also comfortable, spacious, and well stocked. The water temperature in the upstairs shower was a bit tough to manage. Hosts were very communicative and supportive. We will definitely stay here again!

A perfect Los Alamos stay!

Spent a weekend at the Los Alamos Roadhouse with a bunch of ladies and couldn't have been happier -- what a special, funky and comfortable spot for us all to congregate. With lots of sweet decorative touches and nooks to hang out, it was perfect for our group. The hosts accommodated all our needs and made us feel right at home in their space.

Great hangout spot, tons of charm!

We loved our stay at the Roadhouse— it’s like staying in a piece of history but with comfortable modern amenities. The location was perfect for walking to everything in Los Alamos. The fire pit and outdoor living room (David Bowie picture) were a big hit. Friendly hosts with great communication. Would happily stay again!

Comfortable house.

We enjoyed our stay here. All the beds were very comfortable. We had 6 adults in the 3 bedrooms. The town is fun to visit. We were there for a wedding at the 1880 Union hotel. It is about a 1/2 block from the hotel and in the center of town.

No Privacy

These people that rent this house are not owners of the house. They sub lease this house to make a profit. They have the Ring surveillance camera with out Acknowledge or consent of the guest/renter. . The guest have the right to be notified to be videoed/voice recorded with our consent and acknowledgment, which we did not. They constantly are spying on you, so they can charge you by stating you have had “unauthorized guest” this is there famous come up! Never felt so violated. It almost seems like they stay at the water tower on the same property and watch you! This is why you are not allowed to use or see it, even though it’s on the same property. It’s super weird. They waived to us during our stay. Like if we didn’t know it was them. The refrigerator is full of there food, leaving hardly any room for yours. The closets are full with there clothes again leaving no room for yours. Very baser. During our stay it was cold at night. The heater was programmed and did not work at night. They controlled this too. As if they didn’t charge enough to stay there. We were very cold and uncomfortable the 2 nights we stayed there. If you look at there reviews do you wonder why they only have 3? The locals in Los Alamos state they rent it out frequently. So not sure why they only have 3 reviews. It may be because when you walk in the have a summary of how they expect to be rated 5 star. I would definitely stay in Los Alamos again, but definitely never here nor would I recommend staying at The Roadhouse unless you want to be watched every second of your stay! Freaky!

Lovely home in a fun hood

I came here with my fiancee and two other couples for a 4th of July getaway. The property was great and well-stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were very communicative and readily available. The town lost power at one point and we heard from the hosts very quickly with an ETA from the power company, etc. They had 100's of candles stashed and told us where to find them. Turned into a lovely dinner! Los Alamos itself is a quaint little town with a few good restaurants and lots of wine options. A fun getaway for a group of friends like us.
