Welcome to Long Canyon Studios with Sunrises and Sunsets - 360 Degree Endless Views and only 10 minutes to the towns of Los Olivos and Santa Ynez
Gorgeous newly renovated private 1100 Square Foot 2 bedroom Mid-Century Mediterranean Adobe curated home with stunning views.
Live like a local for the weekend and experience the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Although we show no reviews yet on VRBO we have 100 5 star reviews on other sites. We have also hosted for over 10 years on all sites including VRBO.
LONG CANYON STUDIOS IS FULLY LICENSED by the SANTA BARBARA COUNTY - CERTIFICATE # 1122
Transport yourself to Tuscany (actually Santa Ynez Valley, California) and instantly feel the warm breezes flowing over the hills from the ocean. See the swaying branches of the Oaks, Olives, Cypress’, Sycamores, Peppers and Eucalyptus’. The nodding tall, golden grasses floating with the breeze. The perfect lines of the leafing vineyards with precious clusters ripening a little more by each day’s end.
This is Provence (Long Canyon Studios in the SY Valley) and a little piece of paradise on the top of a hill that draws your stare 360 degrees and 24/7. We are a few minutes, and the drive is spectacular, from the best restaurants, wineries and attractions of Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Ballard, Solvang, Buellton, Los Alamos and the wine country of the SY Valley, but we are a world away from the hustle, bustle and noise. Except, of course, for noises from the world class thoroughbred horses, the sheep, the goats, the donkeys, the Lammas, the Texas Long Horns, the Brahma bulls and the fuzzy Alpacas.
You are in exclusive Oak Trail Estates and on Long Canyon road but you haven’t even entered our gate yet! As you enter your code and gates slowly open, you start to feel the energy build and the life of the property that we call Long Canyon Ranch. You drive up an enchanting, paved, slightly windy road and at the top you see our Long Canyon Studios perched on the hill between two massive Oaks with stunning views all round you. You are now in Mykonos! We offer an immaculate, adorable and fully stocked 2 bedroom 1100 square foot mid-mod Mediterranean adobe home for your getaway stay. It has been completely renovated and made new inside and out. There is nothing missing in our home from air conditioning to a stocked wine fridge. From the gourmet kitchen with Zia Tile backsplash, Café appliances including 6-burner gas stove, custom built massive island, modern furniture, sleepy comfortable beds with pressed high thread-count linens, the SAMSUNG FRAME TV, the CUSTOM JAPANDI BARN DOORS, the boho rattan hanging chairs on the deck facing the most breath-taking views. Just outside the mahogany wood front doors you will find the big white picnic table under the twin Oaks where you will be sipping Canyon Coffee in your parachute robes or enjoying a full table lunch feast of local wines and cheeses. Our house has 300 feet of fabulous, old-world, flagstone pathway circling it and accessing the natural landscape. Hardwood poplar board lines the roof while the pink-white pebbles glisten around the stone walkway below. Beauty everywhere you look as the lavender and grasses and fruit trees bend in the wind. Imagine waking up to the sunrise forming the early light and then blazing into vibrant colors (or close the blackout blinds and sleep in :), see the early fog burn off and then endless blue sky through the day softened by fascinating puffy cloud formations, picture heart-stoping sunsets at dusk and infinite stars and clusters at night. You may not want to leave the property. You are in Santa Ynez Valley on the top the Los Olivos foothills. The beauty, peace, serenity and seclusion is exquisite. (Although, we also offer high-speed WIFI just in case you are sneaking away from work but need to stay in touch :)
Like Porto and the Douro Valley, only minutes away you can wine and dine and taste what’s fine. Several ocean beaches are within 30 minutes, world class golf 15 minutes and shopping and attractions 10 minutes. Welcome to our piece of paradise and enjoy seclusion and serenity with tasting, treats and attractions just outside our gates. Too much to describe. Just come and visit and see for yourself. We would love to host you!
Jade & Chelsea Stevenson, Superhosts for 10 years
- "I don’t know where to start except that this place is a vibe!!! The view alone from every direction of the property and at any time of day is truly remarkable, but the sunsets are where the vibe starts. Jade and Chelsea set up such a welcoming ambiance upon our arrival, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay but from a distance. The bungalow is incredibly well decorated and stocked with any kitchen item you may need. The entire space feels new and not used, is well maintained, updated and very clean. Instructions for what they expect of you are reasonable and well communicated. It is close driving distance to so many fun tourist attractions and restaurants. Also the wildlife and cattle throughout the community was so fun to experience. This is truly the perfect place to decompress, relax, slow down and enjoy the view. We will be going back! "

If you want charming, look no further. Our home is relaxing the second you walk in. The great room has a seating area overlooking the pond and the Santa Ynez mountains. There is a full kitchen and dining area with a pool table and large screen TV so you can relax or play a game of pool. The two bedrooms are equal in size and each have their own bathroom. The enclosed porch has a washer and dryer, we have a printer and a desk so you could work. At night take in the stars with a glass of wine on the outdoor deck, or cozy up to a fire and have a seat on the Adirondack chairs. We are behind the Summerset farm stand in case you need any treats and we are centrally located, yet worlds away from it all. Explore nearby Ballard, and visit Bob's Well Bread, or head over to Santa Ynez town and enjoy lunch at the Baker's Table. Meander the streets after to find quaint boutiques and coffee shops. You're only a few miles to Los Olives where you could try some wine tasting and shopping. Los Olives Grocery has some gifts and small town market feel and our bigger market El Rancho is close by. If you like cooking our kitchen is up to date and modern, with top of the line appliances. Come and enjoy what Santa Ynez has to offer and kick up your feet at the pond house.
- "It was the perfect house and property for 2 couples. Great privacy, yet loads of spaces forshared time both inside and outdoors. Superclean and comfortable. Nice appliances. Easy access to local dining, sites and wine tastings. We stayed 4 nights and wished it could have been a while week. Highly recommend house and host. " - "We loved the location and the house was just perfect! We had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. They started us off with eggs, bacon and some delicious treats. We had our dog and the back yard was perfect along with a long drive where we were able to walk her. The decor was better than the pictures. We loved sitting on the back deck with the mountains in the distance and right next to a beautiful pond. We will be returning next time in Santa Ynez"

Welcome! Our beautiful cottage is just a short 10 minute walk to the center of Los Olivos. Drive through the gates of our private 5 acre ranch, past the corrals, up the tree lined drive and enter our renovated cottage. The cottage used to be a hunting cabin back in the 1960's and still retains all of it's charm.
Enter into the living area with thick log walls where you'll find hardwood floors and a gas fireplace that open onto a dining area with a huge bay window. There's a complete kitchen with dark granite counters and marble floors, and a laundry/pantry room with your own washer & dryer. Tucked near the stairs is a fully equipped, renovated bathroom with a big, tiled shower and large fluffy towels. Off the dining area, there's a cozy bedroom with a queen size bed and views of the garden. Wander up the staircase and you will discover the perfect master-suite. Light the fireplace and sink into the queen size bed with down comforter for a fabulous night's sleep. Just steps away is the bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub framed by Carrara marble.
The front deck has a porch swing and a wrought-iron table & chairs with a BBQ around the side. Across the yard is a picnic table under bistro lights if you prefer to dine al fresco.
For entertainment, the cottage has a 32 inch flatscreen TV in the living area with a Roku box that has Netflix and Amazon (no live tv/cable).
There's a dedicated Wifi network covering all of the house and grounds.
Cyclists are welcome! Los Olivos is a haven for cyclists. You can stash your bikes in our bike garage and if you need tools or air, we can help.
The cottage is a short 1/2 mile from the town of Los Olivos. It is situated up on a hill surrounded by huge mature trees, and an occasional inquisitive horse in the nearby pastures. You won't see any streetlights here. Close enough to pop into town but totally secluded for your privacy. SLEEPS 4 MAX.

Charming Santa Ynez farmhouse. The farmhouse is situated on 4 acres and shared with dogs, cats, goats, geese, turkeys, tortoise, horses and chickens! We are on the property as well and in our own space. We can have as much or as little interaction as you would like.
The farmhouse is for two adults only, sorry no children.
You have approximately 750sf. with 2 separate sleeping areas to choose from. One is in the bedroom with a king size bed and the other is located in the living room. It is a cubby that has a queen size mattress in it. It is very cozy!
Kitchen amenities include, stove/oven, fridge, sink, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender and all the service ware you need!

There is also a workspace if you need to do some work while here. The place is airy and bright with lots of windows and doors to let in the natural light.
French doors open to a lovely private brick outdoor patio with BBQ, table & chairs and two lounge chairs. The patio/backyard faces a vegetable garden and is very private . During the day we have free roaming animals that you may encounter. We let the hens out about 7 or 8:00 am as they have an automatic door and they go to bed at dusk. The hens can make noise when laying an egg. We let the roosters out of the coop around 8:00am and they free range as well. The coop is out in a field away from the farmhouse by our barn and the roosters have a little sound proofing around where they sleep. But this is the country and you may hear ours and other neighbors roosters crowing or other animals. We also have pygmy goats, a dog 35 pounds, tortoise, geese, turkeys and horses along with ourselves on the property. This is a farm with animals that can make noises. There is an and pm feedings, it's a farm if animals are not your thing than we are not for you...

You need to wash your own dishes and keep the place neat. I know for 99% of the people it is common sense and I appreciate that. This is just for those few who need it spelled out for them..

- "I came alone for work nearby in Solvang and it was such a peaceful escape. I would come back again for a girls' trip or romantic get away! It's very charming and Kris is a wonderful host." - "Where else have you stayed that you are greeted by the Host (Kris) with a loaf of warm, fresh baked bread? The house is lovely - big enough for 2 weary folks looking for a respite - away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Our interaction with the myriad anilmals was exhilarating! Geese that peck at your door in the morning for the cracked corn provided, then a huge tortoise (Mr. T) taps on the window, hoping for some zucchini --- not to mention the beautiful turkey (I called them the Boys) who follow you around and let you pet them! That's just the hello. Kris and Francisco have a whole menagerie of roosters, chickens, ducks, goats, horses (both mini and huge) to be around, pet, and feel like it really is life on a farm. Their fresh eggs were wonderful and had hearts on them with the name of the contributing hen! We sat out back on the veranda in the evening and enjoyed visits from various furry friends. All in all, a great way to rest, relax, and make new friends, both human and non. High hopes fulfilled and more. Can't wait to return."

Wine Country living at its best! Comfortable elegance awaits.
We enjoy our wine country life and would like to share it with you! Our two-bedroom, two-bath cottage sits in front of our CCOF-certified organic Syrah vines with its own private bocce ball court! Enjoy the setting of our vineyard and farm right out the french doors or from the upstairs deck. A short stroll – or ride on our complimentary cruisers – will take you to the heart of the historic charming town of Los Olivos where you can enjoy over 30 tasting rooms, shops, and restaurants. Our Bernat Winery Retreat is on our private property but in a private location from the main house. Luxurious bedding with down comforters and pillows, bathrobes, and locally crafted bath products made from grapeseeds from our vineyard, are just a few of the amenities you will find at the Winery and Vineyard Retreats at Bernat. For those who decide to make a meal at home during their stay, we welcome them to harvest lettuce and herbs from our 3-acre organic farm, also on the property. If you picture yourself coming home to a comfortable well-appointed wine country cottage after a fun day of touring Santa Barbara wine country, playing a game of bocce ball while watching the sunset over the vineyard and oak-studded hills enjoying a salad you just harvested, then you'll love the Bernat Winery Retreat!
Please note: We have Wednesdays blocked out for regular mid-week cleanings. If you would like to stay longer than a week, we can unblock the Wednesdays to accommodate a longer stay. Send me an inquiry and let me know your preferred dates.
You don't have to purchase a ticket to Italy to experience wine country living at its best!
Los Olivos and Surrounding Area: The 20+ tasting rooms, galleries, and restaurants, of our quaint little town, are a 10-minute walk (20-minute stroll) or a short bike ride away. We also offer complimentary cruisers. Our kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, there is a little market down the street (a 5-minute stroll). But with the world-class dining available in our area you might not want to boil water.
The Santa Ynez Valley comprises the Danish town of Solvang, the western-themed town of Santa Ynez, Ballard, Buellton, and Los Olivos. Aside from tasting the many vintages of the Santa Barbara County wines the valley offers; biking, horseback riding (in fact, if you have a horse and want to bring them, we have room for two), hiking, fishing, live theatre, movie theatre, shopping, festivals, surfing and much more. Santa Barbara is a 40-minute drive and the beach is only 30 minutes.
If you only stay two nights, you'll wish you have stayed more!
- "My husband and I wanted to show my parent’s Santa Ynez Valley while they were visiting from out of town and Sam and Shawnda’s home was the best setting for the weekend. The property is surrounded by a huge gardens that were beautiful to walk through and a horse farm that made you feel even more connected with nature. Beautiful views from the patio were the perfect back drops to our morning coffee and breakfast and afternoon games of rummy. Check in was so easy and they had fresh snacks and wine ready for our arrival. The house is so charming and the perfect place the call home for the weekend. We will back. Hopefully sooner than later!

- "We had a wonderful stay at the Anavo. The cottage was lovely. A perfect retreat!" - "Wow, where do I start? This was one of the most unique properties we’ve stayed at for an extended wine weekend getaway. When we first arrived we were greeted by goats, llamas, and horses, which in my opinion was a wonderful welcome. The property itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed and decorated throughout. You can tell the owner, Jen really put her time and special touch to make the cottage feel like a special getaway for guests. She was so attentive to all our needs/requests, but still maintained a sense of privacy. In addition to the beautiful surroundings and property, there were special treats when we arrived, including a complimentary bottle of wine, delicious manchego cheese, and a basketful of various snacks. The refrigerator was also stocked with drinks, wine, and, our favorite, farm eggs! Although the kitchen is compact we made several meals during our stay with no problem at all and used the grill to cook dinners and roast some fresh vegetables we picked up from Finley Farms just down the road. The location is perfect and central to Santa Ynez Valley wineries, as well as dining options. We visited many wineries throughout the weekend and our furthest drive was under 30 minutes. Although the property is close to everything it’s still private and quiet. We took morning runs and enjoyed passing by farms, horses, grapevines, and other stunning properties. We had an amazing few days and can’t wait to visit Anavo Farm again soon!"

This well-designed apartment with its private coded entry offers comfort and convenience whether you want to stay in and relax or take a quick walk to the town's renowned wine tasting scene just a few minutes away on foot. Inside this sweet studio you'll find a welcoming lower level queen bedroom and two separate raised areas: one with a tub/shower combo bathroom and the other a lounge area with a convenient counter and sink area including a mini fridge, microwave and a full stash of coffee-making equipment including K-Pod. Much of the art and furnishings were designed and handcrafted by the hosts incorporating deconstructed oak barrels to give it a one-of-a-kind wine country feel.
Outside you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of our lush back yard relaxing under the shade of two gorgeous mulberry trees in a semi-private outdoor sitting area complete with a mini propane fire pit for those chilly valley nights. While the hosts live in the front house and sometimes walk through the back yard, guests will typically have it to themselves - especially in the evenings. Feel free to wander out by car to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills of the surrounding Santa Ynez Valley and all it has to offer (wineries, casino, hiking and biking and Solvang "The Danish Capital of America" to name a few). Your dedicated parking space will be there when you return so no need to hassle with the limited parking in town. To make your stay extra special we like to bake delicious treats for our guests!
- "We found this little gem in the perfect neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Rivera. Leading up to the stay, we had several conversations with the property owner which helped us prepare. The little casita was immaculately clean, safe, convenient, and adorable, with plenty of amenities. I was amazed at how quiet it was. The location is perfect for walking all around in Los Olivos. Property owners were warm and welcoming and have thought of everything. We highly recommend it!!"

This clean, well-appointed upstairs studio at Casa Rivera, is steps from the vibrant Los Olivos wine tasting scene (we have lots of 5 star reviews of our other "Sweet Queen Retreat" downstairs space on the same property). The 560 sq ft studio has a king size bed and sleeper sofa, two private decks, and a kitchenette with sink and fridge and lots ways to make coffee. With all the other thoughtful details we are known for, your stay is sure to be memorable.
This spacious studio is ideal for two people but can accommodate three between a king bed and a futon-style sleeper sofa (complete with a mattress topper and bedding tucked away in the closet until it’s used). With its open plan format the king bed is adjacent to a separate lounge area with a 55” TV so it can be easily viewed anywhere in the space. A long chaise sits in the corner by the window for comfy reading and napping. The kitchenette has a sink, mini-fridge with freezer and is equipped with lots of things to make coffee - french press, pour over, single serve 12 cup brewed, bean grinder, frother, as well as half n half and Nut Pods creamer in the fridge. There is also an 18-bottle wine fridge to take care of those treasures you bring home from a day of tasting. The bathroom has a shower tub combo and there is a built in dresser should you be coming for more than a couple nights. Just off the lounge area is a covered deck with Adirondack chairs, a propane fire pit and beautiful views of the lush hillsides which surround the town - a perfect place to watch the sun set over Ballard Canyon. Just outside the front door is a second deck that usually gets full sun and is an ideal place to grab some privacy outside. The studio is full of hand-crafted art and furnishings made by the hosts and designed to create a harmonious color story and one-of-kind vibe.

The location is perfect - you can easily walk to any downtown tasting rooms, shops, breweries and restaurants yet it’s still tucked away to give you peace & quiet when you want it.

The King Retreat itself is a spacious studio that is fully equipped with everything you need for a weekend away in wine country. The bed was so comfortable and the space is full of unique, thoughtful touches that make you feel right at home. We will definitely be staying again in the future. Do yourself a favor and book this absolute gem of a Vrbo."

From the moment you arrive, the property greets you with an air of exclusivity and tranquility. Just outside the French doors of the main house lies the ranch’s centerpiece—a stunning large-acre pond, sparkling in the sunlight by day and reflecting vibrant sunsets by evening. This serene body of water provides not only a breathtaking view but also a peaceful backdrop for quiet mornings with coffee or leisurely evenings with a glass of local wine. The pond, framed by towering trees and open skies, sets the tone for the relaxing pace of life here.
The Cottage itself is designed with both charm and comfort in mind. Featuring a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom layout, the home combines rustic architecture with modern conveniences. High barn-style ceilings create an airy feel, while large windows bathe the interiors in natural light throughout the day.

Essentials such as a two-burner stovetop, coffee maker, and toaster oven are provided, allowing you to bring back fresh ingredients from one of Santa Ynez’s beloved farmers’ markets and craft your own farm-to-table meals right at home.

Modern amenities balance the rustic setting.

Yet, with the tranquil pond outside your door and acres of vineyards surrounding you, many guests find themselves eager to disconnect, savoring the slower pace of wine country living.
Step outside to your private patio and you’ll discover one of the most enchanting features of The Cottage: the chance to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley. Rocking chairs invite you to relax and take in the views, while an outdoor dining table sets the stage for al fresco meals under the California sky. Whether it’s breakfast as the sun rises, a lingering afternoon lunch, or a romantic dinner beneath the stars, the patio offers an intimate and memorable dining experience.
The property itself is rich with character and charm. Two acres of Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah vines line the grounds, connecting you directly to the heart of Santa Ynez wine country. Guests are encouraged to stroll the vineyard rows, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the natural beauty of this working ranch. Beyond the property, the Santa Ynez Valley offers endless opportunities for exploration. Spend the day wine tasting at world-class vineyards, browsing boutiques in charming Los Olivos or Santa Ynez, or dining at one of the region’s acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants. From gourmet experiences to casual bites, the culinary scene here is a delight for every palate.
Evenings at The Cottage are truly magical. As the sun sets, the sky is painted in hues of pink and gold, mirrored in the still waters of the pond. Later, with little light pollution, the night sky fills with stars, creating the perfect setting for a glass of wine by the patio or a quiet moment of reflection. It’s in these serene moments that many guests fall in love with The Big Pond Ranch—where time seems to slow down and every detail of the natural surroundings feels heightened.
Whether your stay is a few days or a week, The Cottage at The Big Pond Ranch offers an experience that is both grounding and indulgent.

For couples, it’s the ultimate romantic escape. For friends, it’s a cozy and inviting gathering spot. For anyone seeking to step away from the everyday, it’s a destination that restores the spirit while creating lasting memories.
Come experience the beauty, charm, and serenity of The Cottage at The Big Pond Ranch. Here, every sunrise over the vineyards and every sunset over the pond will remind you why Santa Ynez is one of California’s most cherished destinations. Book your stay today and make The Cottage your home away from home in wine country in Santa Barbara County. 35 miles to ocean.

A welcome wine and 2-1 tasting was thoughtful and appreciated. Air conditioning, a comfy bed, fabulous shower, and super super quiet neighborhood (and sleep) was a gift.
