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.

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! "

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."

Colin and Rosi are so nice and friendly." - "My husband and I just spent three days in Santa Ynez and stayed at Colin and Rossi’s property. The property is peaceful, quiet and located within walking distance of Santa Ynez town. Colin and Rossi couldn’t have been more welcoming and genuine. They were so kind and friendly. We enjoyed two afternoons at the pool. The water was very clean and refreshing and two nights in the spa under the stars was heavenly.

- "This home has quite possibly the best view in The Valley! It is gorgeous inside and out. The owner is wonderful and accommodating." - "My husband and I recently spent three nights at this gorgeous property. From the moment we checked in, the host - and her friendly dogs! - were available and welcoming and had great recommendations, but also respectful of our privacy. We gasped when we first walked in and saw the view of the valley. Words and photos don't do it justice, you have to see it for yourself! The house is well stocked in the kitchen, there are hundreds of books, games, and puzzles, the huge fireplace is gorgeous, the water in the bathrooms is hot, there are so many comfy nooks to sit in -- every detail is thought of. The only thing I would note is that there is a manual double gate system to enter the property (for the protection of the farm animals), so if you're a city slicker just know that you will have to get out of the car to do the gates. We can't wait to come back, it was truly magical! We feel so lucky to have found this place!"

- "Very nice place on a working ranch. Close to Los Olivos, wineries and restaurants. Hosts were very nice and accommodating." - "We had a great stay at this ranch house. We went with both our boys, age 4 and 10 months and they loved seeing the horses, chickens and goats on the property and we enjoyed walking around in the morning. The hosts were responsive and were sweet enough to provide marshmallows and graham crackers so we could roast s’mores outside by the fire, along with basics like drinking water and a bottle of wine! The location was great, close to a lot. Just remember you’re on a farm, so we heard some animals scratching / tapping on the side of the house at night which our dogs were on high alert about but we got used to the sounds! Overall we had a great time. "

- "We had four people, two on the bed, two on the foldout couch. Property was very clean, very modern. Great location, close to the beach and some nice restaurants. Host is very communicative and friendly :)" - "Truly assumed the pictures were cropped or edited and that what was promised couldn’t be true. Thankfully, completely wrong. A beautiful apartment next to the ocean and retreats. The host is responsive and the goodies appreciated. I can’t recommend enough, though I’m a prematurely sad that available dates will be in short supply once more people experience this hidden gem."

- "Jordan was very helpful with stay and suggestions for husbands 60th bday. " - "Our stay was just perfect! My husband, two young children and I just got home from our weekend getaway and we can’t stop talking about how perfect our weekend was. Not only was the cottage adorable, but the estate grounds were stunning. As a family we walked around and enjoyed the scenery. It was perfectly situated between Los Olivos and Solvang which made wine tasting and site seeing a breeze. I highly recommend staying here! "
