The property is so charming. Owners are the nicest people and love to tell you about all their great animals. The ducks are entertaining and the horses are gorgeous. They have fresh eggs in the fridge and a fully loaded kitchen. We have been back several times and can’t wait to go back next year.

Everything you ever wanted on a farm :)

I really loved my stay !. It was so special , so beautiful, from the views of horses, farmland, nature all around , the beautiful countryside, sounds of roosters crowing and horses neighing, the cute town nearby, the little grocery store just down the road to walk to, no need to drive... a great place to relax, unwind and recharge. This is my second time here and I look forward to returning.

Lovely stay on active horse ranch

The apartment was super comfortable, large and very well appointed. It is directly above the horse barn, and you can see horses in the corrals all around. An added bonus for me was that a foal was born while I was there! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Second stay

This place is fantastic. If you love horse, chickens, cows, barn cats, and working ranch experience with a homie rural living vibe this is the place. It’s conveniently located near Solvang with great dining and shopping. Also is near a quirky grocery store for picking up delicious snacks and prepared foods. The hosts are great, and the stay relaxing and easy going.
