Travellers describe Charming Wine Country Cottage, Pet Friendly! as a quiet, well equipped hideaway near Solvang and Los Olivos, with a peaceful porch and fire pit, resident donkeys, and thoughtful touches like a stocked kitchen and complimentary coffee and drinks.
Reviews consistently highlight very clean interiors and a comfortable bed. Hosts, especially Erin, are described as responsive and accommodating. Some clarify it is a studio rather than a one-bedroom, and a few found the futon uncomfortable. Overall, this is a peaceful, pet-friendly base for exploring the Santa Ynez Valley.

Great location, great amenities (the treats to feed the donkeys were an especially nice touch), very well equipped kitchen, lovely porch where we enjoyed watching the birds, and complete privacy made this an ideal lodging. Perfect spot for our excursions to wineries, breweries, and olive oil tasting!

We so enjoyed our short get away in the sweet little hidden cottage. The cottage kitchen was well equipped and the cottage was clean. The wrap around porch with water fountain and gas fire pit was relaxing and so enjoyed. Our donkey hosts, Jack and Henry, were so cute as they raced to the fence for treats of carrots and lettuce. We will definitely consider coming back.

Relaxing Stay at the CottageWe really enjoyed our second stay at the Wine Country Cottage. The patio is quiet and peaceful with a fire pit and a large gas barbecue (great for grilling steaks). The cottage was very clean and includes a full kitchen, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, and a very comfortable bed with a luxury mattress. Our three-year-old loved feeding the donkeys (Jack and Henry). The cottage is conveniently located just a short drive from hiking, restaurants, wineries, and shops. The host (Erin) responds promptly to any questions. Small touches like a Keurig coffee maker and complimentary soft drinks in the refrigerator really make you feel at home. We look forward to our next visit.

The property was tranquil and we enjoyed our evening on the porch. We stopped in Buellton for groceries and ate breakfast in the kitchen in the morning. At the midpoint of a two week vacation it was nice to do a load of laundry with a good setup for that.

We came with our 21 daughter and our little dog for wine tasting. The cottage is very well stocked with so many thought out details, it was a very nice visit. She loved feeding the donkeys their treats and we felt it was very private even though the main home is up front. The coffee center and drinks in the refrigerator was a nice touch as well. If I were to say anything - and I mean it constructively - a few new kitchen items such as the cutting boards and replacing the small plates with cracks would make it even better. I would definitely book her again. The weather didn’t cooperate for us to enjoy the fire table and porch outside so hopefully next time.

My husband and I with our 2 little dogs stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time and felt safe. As you enter, you are greeted by a tunnel of trees that takes you directly to the cottage and greeted by two inquisitive donkeys. The cottage was equipped with everything, including safety features like an extinguisher and a emergency power bank. We use the laundry room and cooked every day, morning coffee on the deck then dissert watching the sunset. The highlight of staying there was feeding carrots to Jack and Henry. Erin and Joe were very pleasant too and helpful. Not only do we recommend staying there, but we will never forget it.

The cottage is even nicer than the description. Very private. Super clean, nice amenities such as shampoo, etc. in the shower, coffee and teas, sodas/water in the fridge. The bed was super comfortable. It was February so we had some cold weather, but loved sitting on the deck with the fire pit. The donkeys, Jack and Henry, are adorable. The location is central to lots of trails, towns, beach, all within 45 minutes. Beautiful countryside. We have already rebooked!

This is an absolutely beautiful place to spend time away from the city noise. A complete HEAVEN!One thing that has never been mentioned in the entire description was the Camino Road with about 5 High Speed Bumps that our vehicle hit pretty hard at the first bump. They are not marketed or visible, so be careful driving to the actual property. Other than that, this is NOT a 1 bedroom place. It's a studio open space with a bed, sofa, kitchen all in one.BUT: It is ABSOLUTELY the most gorgeous and quiet place, with 2 donkeys the owners provide the treats for, and not only that: They provide you with almost EVERY single necessity you'd need for a few days stay like coffee, tea, soda drinks in the fridge, spices and cooking ingredients, toothpaste, even female tampons (for those unexpected periods) ... We ABSOLUTELY enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone seeking peace and quiet.

My wife and I and our small dog had a nice two night stay. Everything was clean and as advertised. It was a nice surprise to find water and soda in the fridge, as well as food for Jack and Henry, the resident donkeys. Even the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, as well as many flavors of coffee. You could tell that the host truly tried to think of everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. Overall we had a very nice stay, thank you!

Great for a quiet getaway with our small family. We were planning on spending time in Solvang, so the location was a short drive. Loved how quiet and remote it was. The property had what we needed. Only complaint: it’s listed as a one bedroom but it is not, it is a studio cottage. We weren’t expecting to sleep in one room together, but it all worked out. Feeding the donkeys they have on the property was a memorable treat!

We enjoyed out stay of three nights in this very quiet retreat. It is well equipped for some cooking. It was too cold to enjoy the covered porch with fire pit. The only indoor seating other than the small dining table was the sofa/futon, which was quite low to the floor and not very comfortable for sitting and watching TV. Cable TV apparently is not available, so the only option is the Roku unit, which only provides streaming service. We couldn't watch network shows that we normally would have watched. There is a DVD player. However, overall it was a very pleasant place to stay.

The neighborhood is uneven and the cottage needs to be spruced up. The fireplace on the balcony was my favorite and the donkeys.The property fee is exhorbent considering that there are pretty dumpy properties around it. We paid an additional pet fee on top of the property fee. After you pay it you get a message saying the dogs have to be kenneled if you go out. The owner adds that if this not something you are willing to do then she will recommend places where you can leave your pet. Our pets are old and we would never cage them or leave them anywhere. This is fine except that this should be disclosed on the website before you book. Total transparency should be required when it comes to the pet policy.

The cottage is great and we had an excellent stay! It's just a short drive away from Solvang. We liked not staying right in Solvang because it feels quite touristy in the city. This is a very peaceful spot. Highly recommend

Charming cottage, close to Solvang but still far enough away to be quiet and peaceful.

This property was exactly as shown, maybe better! Central location for our Solvang visit, everything you would want in your own home. So peaceful and quiet, very relaxing and well appointed. No comparison to a hotel or motel, even our well behaved dog felt at home. We will go back again and recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you again!

We stayed at the cottage for a week, it was great! It had everything we needed, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. We would love to come back sometime!

What a beautiful place to enjoy the SY Valley. Off the beaten path, which is just what we needed. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed at the Cottage for a couple weeks while bicycling in the area. We found it to be comfortable and equipped for all our needs. Out of the hustle and bustle of Solvang, we found it quiet and peaceful while being conveniently located. Erin was a pleasant and responsive host.

Great location, great amenities (the treats to feed the donkeys were an especially nice touch), very well equipped kitchen, lovely porch where we enjoyed watching the birds, and complete privacy made this an ideal lodging. Perfect spot for our excursions to wineries, breweries, and olive oil tasting!

Relaxing Stay at the CottageWe really enjoyed our second stay at the Wine Country Cottage. The patio is quiet and peaceful with a fire pit and a large gas barbecue (great for grilling steaks). The cottage was very clean and includes a full kitchen, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, and a very comfortable bed with a luxury mattress. Our three-year-old loved feeding the donkeys (Jack and Henry). The cottage is conveniently located just a short drive from hiking, restaurants, wineries, and shops. The host (Erin) responds promptly to any questions. Small touches like a Keurig coffee maker and complimentary soft drinks in the refrigerator really make you feel at home. We look forward to our next visit.

The property was tranquil and we enjoyed our evening on the porch. We stopped in Buellton for groceries and ate breakfast in the kitchen in the morning. At the midpoint of a two week vacation it was nice to do a load of laundry with a good setup for that.

Stayed here while my daughter's college lacrosse team had a tournament. It was the perfect location and made it feel like I was on a mini vacation. The kitchen and large fridge were perfect as I needed to prep team snacks and salads. Hope to stay here next year! Thanks Erin.

We came with our 21 daughter and our little dog for wine tasting. The cottage is very well stocked with so many thought out details, it was a very nice visit. She loved feeding the donkeys their treats and we felt it was very private even though the main home is up front. The coffee center and drinks in the refrigerator was a nice touch as well. If I were to say anything - and I mean it constructively - a few new kitchen items such as the cutting boards and replacing the small plates with cracks would make it even better. I would definitely book her again. The weather didn’t cooperate for us to enjoy the fire table and porch outside so hopefully next time.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to spend time away from the city noise. A complete HEAVEN!One thing that has never been mentioned in the entire description was the Camino Road with about 5 High Speed Bumps that our vehicle hit pretty hard at the first bump. They are not marketed or visible, so be careful driving to the actual property. Other than that, this is NOT a 1 bedroom place. It's a studio open space with a bed, sofa, kitchen all in one.BUT: It is ABSOLUTELY the most gorgeous and quiet place, with 2 donkeys the owners provide the treats for, and not only that: They provide you with almost EVERY single necessity you'd need for a few days stay like coffee, tea, soda drinks in the fridge, spices and cooking ingredients, toothpaste, even female tampons (for those unexpected periods) ... We ABSOLUTELY enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone seeking peace and quiet.

Great property. Donkeys were a treat and watching the cattle across the canyon was a nice surprise. Well-stocked kitchen.
