La Petite Maison Blanche. Perfect downtown retreat
A Quintessential Santa Barbara cottage in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are rather small (Think Parisian Hotel) but well-appointed and quaint: a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your feet, set your glass and simply relax. The Living Room is intimate. Think of this space as a private parlor car in a train, perhaps, perfect for reading! The more spacious backyard is perfect for sharing stories, relaxing and unwinding around the fire pit and cozy sofas.

Private Guest House on 10 Acres
Stay in your own private house with unbelievable mountain views and amenities for the family. Bocce, Ping Pong, Darts, and board games all available for you to relax after a day of wine tasting. Walk up the hill to visit our rescue alpacas and goats. Soak in the private hot tub. We are right over the hill from some of the best vineyards in the valley: Brickbarn, Dierberg, Melville, Foley, Alma Rosa, etc. We are also close to Industrial Eats, Firestone, The Hitching Post, and Tavern at ZacaCreek.
