Outstanding property! Our whole family fell in love with it! The whole estate was fastidiously neat and clean, beautifully decorated and landscaped, superbly comfortable, and supplied with everything we needed for a fabulous weekend stay to celebrate our granddaughter's graduation from UCSB!

Best place ever!

As a group of 6 women who have all traveled a ton over our 55 lives, this is by far one of the most beautiful places we have all ever stayed! The home was immaculate, the space for all of us to spread out was fabulous and the beauty of the home and the yard was stunning! Carol was a great host!! We were so happy to meet her and Kim as well! Everything was so close to the home. Walking distance to the entire town but yet in its' own compound! Loved that the kitchen had everything we needed, bathrooms as well. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and grill numerous times during our stay. Even played a game of Bocce! We are definitely recommending this place to friends and family! We hope to be back! Thanks for hosting us!! -Pam

Beautiful, conveniently-located home

Our multi-generational family group had a wonderful stay here. The home and gardens are pristine and gorgeous. There was so much space for everyone to spread out. Attention to detail is obvious. The owner was clear and responsive in her communication. We loved the location because it allowed us to walk into Solvang village easily (and quickly return with our pastry stash, haha!). I would definitely recommend this lovely home!

We absolutely loved the house, inside and out. We didn’t even know how wonderful it was and how great the location until we got there. Carol, the host was super helpful. We spent a lot of time around the fireplace or the outdoor fire pit. Everything was perfect!!!Now we need another excuse to go to Solvang so we can rent the house again.

Family stay for wedding

The Dolphin House is in the middle of Solvang, easily accessible with a short walk to Danish bakery, restaurants, shops and a brewery. The Hotels are in short walking distance if meeting a wedding party etc. The House is beautiful, clean with every necessity you could need. Clean linens, complete stocked kitchen with pans and utensils to have additional guests for a party. Open garden with adjoining house for additional bedroom with kitchen and living area, bathroom and full en-suite bathroom. Multitude of comfortable outdoor seating with tables, chairs and firepit. Outdoor game of Boche ball or corn hold. It was a paradise and with all of our guests enough private space for each. Washer and Dryer were a great addition,, Highly recommended,

Great place for a big family

The front entrance doesn’t show how beautiful and big inside at all. But once you open the front door, you definitely say “Wow !” It’s nice place for the family or friends gatherings. 👍 We had a wonderful stay there for our daughter’s wedding at the Hill top ranch. The town Solvang is also very charming.
