Welcomed like family in the wine country!

JD's retreat is a home away from home. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel like family. The home is conveniently and centrally located and boasts well-curated and tasteful decor, complete with some enviable antiques! There's nothing precious about it though--it's inviting, comfortable and inspiring with plenty of room to spread out. Highly recommended!

Perfect for 65th birthday and family reunion

This place is absolutely beautiful and serene. It’s hidden away off a main road and you can really sit back and enjoy the location. Hosts JD and Keith were always responsive, friendly and gracious. Would recommend for any large parties looking for a peaceful stay in the countryside.

Perfect House for Reunion

We loved our stay at JD & Keith’s amazing property. We’re a group of high school friends, all women in our 50s, and their house was the perfect place for our reunion and wine-tasting weekend. The house and grounds are beautiful and had everything we needed. The house is impeccably decorated, has comfy beds and an incredibly well appointed kitchen. Gorgeous property with horses & other animals. The hosts live on site and we’re so helpful and hospitable.

Wonderful place, wonderful weekend

We could not have loved JD's place more. We had 6 adults and 6 kids all traveling together; it was the perfect size for all of us -- plenty of room and we never felt crowded. The bunk bed room in particular was a fan favorite of all 6 kids. The house is stunning and all of the furniture and decor looks like it has been carefully curated over years. The backyard was also a big hit with our crew, especially the corn hole set, bench swing, and firepit, as was the front yard swing. One of the coolest parts was seeing the horses and donkey out grazing beyond the backyard fence. JD was kind, responsive, and accommodating during the entire stay. When we arrived, there was bottle of wine, a cheese plate, and some fresh fruit waiting for us in the kitchen. Our entire group agreed we feel tempted to move to Solvang after our time here! 10/10 recommend and I hope we will be back!

Great stay in wine country

We had a great stay at this wine country home. The owner was helpful and the home was great for my whole family, 6 adults and 2 children. There was a barbecue that we could use which worked out great with traveling with 2 young children. The location was great for getting to markets, downtown Solvang, wineries, and Los Olivos. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Over the moon!

Fantastic property and excellent hospitality. Our expectations were superceded. A short drive to Solvang, Los Olivos, or Santa Ynez. House was spacious with a great flow and energy. Stunning sunset views of the backyard and all their lovely animals. JD was a perfect host! He was attentive, intuitive, warm and kind. And of course, Captain stole the show! Will definitely try to organize a future stay at this property with a group of friends or family. Thank you again JD!!!

Great Hospitality

The home is very warm, inviting and JD and Kieth have such wonderful hospitality. It is also is very central to Los Olivos town and local wineries. One note to mention is that the hosts do live in attached apartment to house so you will not have house to yourselves. Also, there are seven beautiful Dalmatian dogs that live in property so if anyone in your group has allergies this maybe a problem. But overall, highly recommend for families with little ones because of all the cute animals on property.

UNBEARABLE SMELL. REFUND REFUSED.

The pictures are accurate, the house is beautiful. What the pictures didn’t show…..was the INTENSE stench of urine or some kind of dead rotting rodent throughout the whole house. The owner, JD, had casually mentioned only upon arrival that one of their dogs just gave birth to SEVEN puppies….This was not mentioned anywhere in the listing. Perhaps this could have contributed to the smell. These puppies were being kept in one of the rooms of the house with a “Do not enter” sign. My friend thought maybe it was a rat that had died in the air conditioning vents, because the smell was inescapable throughout the entire house. The owner of course didn’t smell it, but there were seven guys and all of us got headaches after staying in the house for about 20 minutes. We were out in front of the house with the front door open discussing what we should do. Even standing 20 feet away outside, we could smell it coming through the front door. It was not the sort of the smell you could cover up with candles. We could taste it and it seemed hazardous to inhale. Having nowhere to go we still decided we had to leave to find some place else. We spoke with JD before leaving and delicately tried to explain the situation without being disrespectful. He said he’d be happy to refund us as long as we didn’t leave a review….which we had no problem with…..but as you can see, I’m writing a review because he decided a week and a half later to refuse me the refund. Like a flip switched in his head. He claimed that he had someone come check out the property an hour after we left and they didn’t smell a thing, and that other people have stayed there since the puppies were born and haven’t complained. He then accused us all of lying and making the whole smell up because he felt we must have changed our mind and would have preferred to go to a hotel instead. This couldn't be further than the truth! Making the choice to leave left us stranded. It was an extreme inconvenience to leave and book other, more expensive accommodations the day of. We spent hours looking for a place where we could stay that afternoon. The town is small so the availability of rooms was limited. All six of us had no reason to lie about this smell. Now we have been accused of being dishonest liars and are out the total cost of the trip. We will need to fight to get our money back ourselves. VERY unfortunate. I URGE you not to stay here.

We underestimated how awesome this property was <3

This property, house and its wonderful owners were above and beyond what we thought we were renting. The house itself is gorgeous and so incredibly interesting with their flair for interior design, but the outdoor space was just something else. In the photos none of the flowers are in bloom and let me tell you it transforms the space. The pictures don't do this place justice. You can tell this is a home they care deeply for. JD and Keith were wonderful hosts who introduced us to the animals and, set/lit a fire for us in the outdoor firepit and even brought in our grocery order from InstaCart that arrived late while we were out to dinner. This property is so close to everything, it makes for a great central location to Solvang, Los Olivos and Santa Yanez Valley. Also the beds are SUPER comfy (all of them), I feel like people don't comment on that enough in these reviews. That can make or break a stay somewhere. Anyway- highly highly recommend!!
