Lovely cabin
Enjoyed our stay in this awesome glamp-cabin at the ❤️ of Santa Ynez valley. Couple downsides such as poorly closing bathroom door and noisy pump near the house were totally compensated with nice hot shower, heater, beautiful yard with firepit, and lovely friendly furry pussycat.

Lisa’s spot is so cute! My friend and I loved lounging about on the trampoline and hanging at the fire pit in the evenings 😊

Property is so beautiful and serene with hammock, trampoline and seating area. Enjoy the sweet town of Ballard. Centrally located between Los Olivos,
Solvang and Santa Ynez. The cottage was comfy with plenty of blankets and towels and bath.

Horrible
I rented this cabin for myself and my daughter just after my mom passing. Prior to booking I reached out to make sure it had internet as my daughter works remotely and had some very important meetings. I was told yes it does.
The host turns it on off not only at night which wasn’t brought to my attention during booking but had it off several times during the day and missed an VERY important work call.
Also had her car washer there at 8am with a power washer for an hour next to our living room window.
If you don’t need to work or internet that might not be on at any time of the day then this would be fine but it was important for us!

Overall, we had a great experience. However, the bunkhouse was pretty close to other cabins and didn’t realize that was the layout when booking. Also, the outdoor lights didn’t work which made visibility kinda tricky. Otherwise, it was a darling experience and property.

Perfect stay! The bed was super easy to turn into a king. Just lift up the lever at the foot and the head and pull up. It was cute, clean, and a perfect location! We loved the friendly cat too <3 Thank you so much for a lovely stay!!!

Not as advertised
This space didn’t feel as listed. I didn’t feel safe based on how different the property looked when I arrived in the evening. It was dark, no way to lock the bunkhouse in case you needed to step out. I felt the listing did not match the experience and didn’t stay.

Cute space, nice amenities
What a cute space! Lovely little hidden gem tucked away. Walking distance to Ballard Inn where we ate a spectacular dinner and Bob’s Well Bread where we enjoyed a delicious chocolate pistachio croissant and coffee for breakfast. Less than 10 minute drive to Solvang city center. We befriended a beautiful cat that made the stay that much more enjoyable. Had all the amenities you will need. We would do it all again!

Perfect Location, NOT READY!
The location was perfect however the place was not ready for guest. The front door to the bunkhouse was broken. The night light outside didn’t work. Information and poor communication on the host part. My husband went inside and was unable to get out. We sent a video to the host, but she didn’t respond to the video. We called the host but she wasn’t hearing our concerns. All she could say is that it had never happened before and we were the first. She did however say she could contact her maintenance man but he may be gone for the day. He did arrive and told us that he had been TOO BUSY! and hadn’t done the repairs to the door or any service on the property. The wood wasn’t by the fireplace so he went to get some but there wasn’t a lighter to start it. The yard was filled with walnuts so you had to be careful not to sprang an ankle. The outdoor seating was filthy. I turned over cushions and removed the spiders, leaves and dirt. The tables were also a mess.
Bottom line
It just wasn’t ready and if you asked Lisa a question, she wasn’t very nice.
Respectfully,
~Debby and Hani

Absolutely incredible bunkhouse!!
Super cozy. SUPER accommodating. Communication on point. And the most perfect kitty for outside company. An absolute Gem in Solvang. I highly recommend this quaint, magical stay.

Buyer Beware
After seeing the pictures and reading the description, we were excited to stay at The Bunkhouse, which we paid for the stay well in advance, making the disappointment that much worse when we discovered that the owner had not proprerly prepared for our visit.
There were several large spiders hanging from the overhang and doorway that we had to pass under in order to enter. The door doesn't close, so those spiders (and anything or anyone else who wanted to come in) could easily do so. The shower is metal, dark, and creepy. We did not use it. The bed was not made up for two people, and the pillows, blankets, and decorations were hairy, itchy, and woolen, adding to the overall discomfort of the room.
It felt like we were staying in what could have been a movie set about a kidnapping victim chained to the room. There were spiders in the room and bathroom, and a hanging light fixture above the bed that was loosely on the ceiling. There was exposed wire on the floor from the lamp. The wifi was turned off.
In total, we stayed for about 10-15 minutes before leaving. Since we thought we had accommodations, we didn't bring a tent, and had to get a room.
The following morning we asked for a refund, since we didn't feel safe staying there. She did not provide one, or even respond, after telling us she would spray for spiders, which, while nice, did nothing to help us, or to hold her accountable. All this for the low price of $150.

Great little space!! Backyard was adorable and the little amenities were much appreciated - Bob’s Well Bread and Los Olivos are worth visiting during your stay.

Great directions. Lovely, fun setting. Bunkhouse is adorable. Loved the kitties on the property. Shower was great - lots of hot water and great water pressure. However, the bathroom door needs to be fixed as it doesn’t close all the way so really no bathroom privacy. Converting trundle bed was quite a process and we needed to refer to a YouTube tutorial we found ourselves. But the bathroom door was the biggest negative.

We really enjoyed our stay on Lisa’s property, the cabin is certainly small but also cozy and perfect for what we were looking for. We enjoyed spending some time outside on the property, the area is very quiet and peaceful, and the cat who lives there is very friendly :) the shower, AC, and mini fridge were all very appreciated on a hot weekend like the one of our visit. Lisa was also a very kind and responsive host, would definitely stay here again!

Dreamy rustic living
Besides not being provided with arrival instructions which was not the hosts fault but a glitch in the app, this was the best stay I’ve ever had! Lisa’s property is lovely in every way. From the cozy outdoor spaces to the shabby chic interior, there is a dreamy nook waiting to be enjoyed in every corner. I loved waking up to the sounds of chickens and owls nearby. The stars at night were incredible. Everything about the space is so thoughtful, especially the waffle bathrobes that I got to enjoy while sipping my complimentary morning tea with the French doors wide open letting the fresh air in! My favorite part however was Linus the cat. Such a sweetheart and perfect addition to the property. I cannot wait to plan my next visit here at this peaceful spot and hopefully bring a guest next time. Thank you Lisa!

The cabin was really lovely. Very clean. The whole yard and guest area was great. As others have pointed out, the cabin is quite small. When the trundle bed is opened up it takes up the whole room. Didn’t cause a problem for us, but I think it’s good to know for frame of reference. We’d definitely stay again!

Enjoyed our stay! The bunk house is small yet perfect. The place was clean and the kitchenette had everything you needed. The shower and AC is a plus for sure! The property was fun. It had a hammock and a trampoline on ground level. Didn’t catch the guy’s name that was taking care of the property but he was super nice and helpful. Lisa was also very responsive and let us check in early, which we truly appreciated. All in all we had a comfortable stay.
We would definitely be coming back!
