Central California : séjours à la ferme

Copper Lodge is a special place. Comfortable home, beautiful nature scenery, and great amenities - the home has everything you need! This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first time, perhaps even better. We were lucky to be there in gorgeous spring weather which allowed us to enjoy being outdoors in nature (although the place would be just as beautiful in any season). Loved hearing the sound of birds in the morning, watching the sunsets from the barn cabin, and seeing the stars at night. Most of all, there is a short trail to the river which was spectacular! Thank you Natalie and Jon for being great hosts and sharing your beautiful home! So grateful for the time we had at Copper Lodge. Hope to return in the future!

Goats and sheep, our dogs thought it was neat! Beautiful area, comfortable inside for a relaxing trip. Perfect for traveling with multiple dogs and easy access to wineries.

This Airbnb is truly special. If you want to experience what Montecito is all about, this is it. The rooms are very comfortable and because of the nature of an old carriage house feel down to earth while also having every possible amenity stocked. Rita‘s instructions are super helpful and I‘d highlight specifically how she helps guests understand what on the big property is intended for their use and what isn’t. While we didn’t get to meet her in person, communication was great and we hope to meet her during our next stay, because we do want to return for sure.

This Airbnb was perfect for our trip! The house was spacious enough for three couples to fit comfortably; everyone found the beds cozy. There was no AC, but even during a heatwave the house maintained a pleasant temperature inside. The main negative was the strong mildew smell on the bath towels, as well as the bedlinens in one bedroom. Aside from this, we had a great stay and would recommend it to others – especially if you are attending a wedding at Greengate Ranch, just steps down the road.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

This was not our first stay at the Story Homestead and won’t be our last. The house is perfect for our needs, mini french bulldog, and making meals. It is always exceptionally clean; guest instructions are clear. The surroundings are beautiful and so peaceful with lots of delightful bird watching and walks. The fireplace insert is very warming with plenty of wood provided. We are looking forward to staying again in the spring.

A great place to stay with lots of supplies. We especially loved the kitchen and location- how walkable it was to things to do. I loved walking to south shore in my free time or for coffee. The driveway was a bit narrow if you have a larger SUV, but you can still get in and out. It felt like a home away from home as there was evidence of family memories made there. The hosts were extremely responsive to any questions and we would definitely stay again.

Our stay was lovely! The space is as described and looked just like the photos, and based on the some of the previous feedback, we knew what to expect. Yes, it could use some decor/furnishing updates and a good solid top-to-bottom deep clean, but the perfect location/proximity to amenities and reasonable price makes it worth it. We would stay here again!

Everything about Asha's place was wonderful - from the beautiful grounds and outdoor spaces to the thoughtful decor of the interior. The location was great for a wine tasting tour, exploration of downtown Santa Barbara, hiking. Short drives to everything you need, including groceries, restaurants, and local sites. Well stocked with extra towels, bedding, kitchen necessities. I really appreciate not having to go out to buy TP on the first day of vacation! The wine and coffee to start us off was also a thoughtful bonus. We will definitely recommend to our friends visiting the SB area.

This was our first time using Airbnb and our host, April, set the bar high! It was such a pleasant stay, and nothing could have been better. She is very responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate us. My son slept on the couch and it was very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. The views right out the front door are incredible and everything is a short drive or a little walk away. They have some beautiful trails to hike and bike right out from the driveway. If we make it back to Half Moon Bay, we will definitely be booking this again! Thank you for a great experience!

Our family stay was just phenomenal and truly exceeded our expectations in every way!!! This special spot has been so thoughtfully, creatively and lovingly put together, with care and dedication to providing the very best stay while providing something for everyone. I cannot say enough about Tiare's graciousness as she went out of her way throughout our stay with tours, stories, recommendations, and always a little extra effort with kindness and good energy. The house is even better than the photos inside and out with so many opportunities to create unique memories - the animals were a kick with their various personalities and cute antics, the outdoor fire pits for s'mores under the stars, the hammocks and hot tub, the peaceful reclining areas amongst the fruit trees, the game room/library to play, the giant tv and special popcorn to end our days. Clean and welcoming, we felt so at home; communication was perfect. Please, do not hesitate- just book this property, 10+++/10!

Our family had a wonderful holiday weekend at this ranch-style home! The property is not only well-equipped but also incredibly beautiful, especially in the evenings with the surrounding mandarin orchards. The home was spotless and thoughtfully designed, making it a truly relaxing getaway. Our daughters were entertained by the playground and loved exploring the property, discovering all the different plants and gardens growing around. It was such a great place for little ones to roam and enjoy nature. The host was extremely communicative and always available to offer assistance, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Everything about the stay felt welcoming and well-planned. We truly loved our time here, soaking in the peaceful scenery, and we hope to stay again in the future!

Sarah’s place was the perfect home for a family weekend getaway! The details made me feel right at home and had a magical charm that made the home feel cozy and warm. It also had so many amenities (pool table, tons of board games, outdoor games, many areas for stargazing, fire pit) that we had plenty of options for spending time all together. Sarah’s home was also clean and everything was clearly labeled and easy to find. The guidebook and instructions were all clear and helpful. The area was peaceful and although restaurants and stores were far, there were still some options. Overall it was an amazing stay!!

Sally's place is wonderful! I loved my stay there...the studio is spacious, comfortable, with beautiful views. I enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the roosters crow, and they have a very sweet cat who hung out with me. Downtown is just a few minutes away. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay. Host is so nice, communication is excellent, very friendly and making sure all is at the right place. Place is clean, original to stay at and worth every penny of it. I would definitely come back!

Jonah’s place was fantastic. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The location was excellent with everything within a 10 minute drive. I would recommend his place to anyone and will certainly check availability on our next visit.

The carriage house was so delightful. We loved the coziness, quietness and overall special place. We loved being able to have our dog join us. We walked everywhere and would come back to rest and read. It was a lovely place and Khristina gave us so many great ideas for coffee, lunch and dinner. We had a wonderful time. You cannot beat the location!

Tami was an amazing host and I’m glad we found the Cottonwood Barn before labor day weekend! Their place was immaculate and well taken care of. The interactions with the barn animals there led to an unforgettable experience. Do yourself a favor and consider this location for your next adventure! Thank you again!

I was at a work conference in the area and had such a wonderful stay at Sues. My 1.5 year old and nanny were able to join and have a cozy home away from home. We loved the setup with two private rooms/bathrooms and large open kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Our stay at the Milk Barn on the Enriquez Estate was just what we expected and hoped for- a rural genuine cottage on a working vineyard. We could stroll around whenever we wanted and walk through the vineyard. The house is very attractive both inside and out and is outfitted with everything that you might need. There is a caretaker,Nick, onsite most of the time and he was attentive to our needs and questions and invisible at other times so we could enjoy our stay on the vineyard Enriquez Estates makes some very nice wines and they are available to purchase right there. The Milk Barn cottage is not a resort type experience- you are self catering all the time. We rode our bikes directly out of the gate and toured through the Russian River Valley. For us- perfect!! Thanks.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Barn and would definitely like to visit again soon!

What an amazing find. I don’t think I can say enough about this beautiful place. First, the property and the scenery were breathtakingly beautiful and so much attention to detail was put into this property and home, making it by far the best place we have ever stayed. Then you add in the fantastic hosts - Natalie and Glen and you have utter perfection. Natalie went above and beyond to help make our stay amazing. She delivered eggs and pastries to us for breakfast and was so helpful to us during our stay. I cannot say enough how great our stay was. Highly recommended. Five stars is not high enough. We will come back many times in the future.

My family and I loved this place so mucho, it is the best place that we have gone before so far, everything was so beautiful and cleaned, if you want a place to go with your family and have a really good time, don’t think about it too much and go.

Took the family to spend a weekend away and see Yosemite. Leslies home was perfect, we had a really great time. Plenty of space for the 7 of us, it could have definitely accommodated more without feeling crowded at all. The property is only about 20-30 minutes from Yosemite South entrance and 5-10 minutes from Oakhurst/Bass lake. Overall I will be keeping this property in mind for a return trip.
