Peaceful Guest Country Cottage

The grand Friesian Farm welcomes you to their peaceful guest country cottage located on the famous Ballard Canyon Road.

This beautifully furnished guest suite is complete with every amenity one could dream of while vacationing. Very new construction gives the cottage a brand new country feel even though the property itself has a lifetime of history. Included in this room is an over-sized, custom walk-in closet that can easily double as a small bedroom, if extra space is needed, because of its incredibly large size and beautiful custom detailing. Please take a look at the photos on this page to see this truly amazing space. A short bike ride to Los Olivos or Solvang and a 5 minute car ride away to Santa Ynez allows you to experience the Valley in many ways. Several highly respected wineries neighbor the property that you can enjoy in just a short walk.

Ralph Lauren Style

Rustic, original cowboy bunkhouse located on the edge of the Santa Ynez River. This unique home will take you back to the old days of California. Where it may not be for everyone, if you are looking for a good example of what it might have been like to live like in Santa Ynez in the 1920’s, you have found the place. Decorated in a Ralph Lauren style, sit back in the leather chairs, in the all pine living room, or warm your feet by the fire and read your favorite book! If you prefer, visit one of the many world class vineyards a short distance away or dine at a variety of fine restaurants. If you are an outdoor person, lounge on the two wood-covered decks overlooking the river. The house has a new hot tub and outdoor shower (indoor too) for the braver among you. There are a lot of interesting books, a collection of original pen and ink drawings, and abstract western oil paintings. This house is perfect for a mature couple or couples with an appreciation of the truly different. The kind of place that inspires a longing to write that novel you have been thinking about.

Great place for a peaceful walk.

Winter Creek Ranch is located in the sleepy village of Ballard which sits centrally between the townships of Santa Ynez and Los Olivos and is adjacent to historic Solvang. This landmark village is home to the ‘Little Red Schoolhouse’ which has been continually in session since the 1800’s. The Cottage at Winter Creek Ranch sits at the back of its’ five acres and offers the most magnificent views of Figueroa Mountain and the Santa Ynez Valley with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms! While relaxing on the deck of the cottage you’ll be charmed by the ranch’s five horses, who chase each other and sun themselves all day long. They are very social and will likely come over and visit with you. Year-round you’ll be greeted by Winter Creek’s two ranch dogs who like to make sure all is in order. In the winter months, you can lounge in front of the cottage’s stone fireplace. The ranch is host to two flowing creeks which attract the local “Ballard Mallards” (ducks) who think the creeks are just for them. Some of the ranch’s neighbors include polo ponies, mules, goats, miniature donkeys as well as a couple of peacocks who stop by every so often…not to mention miles and miles of stunning vineyards and tasting rooms!
Down a long quiet lane, this is a great place for a peaceful walk or a sightseeing bike ride. Just a five minute walk to wine tasting & tidbits at the Ballard Inn. Winter Creek Ranch Cottage is the perfect spot to hide away from the world and unwind or head easily into town for some wine tasting, shopping and maybe line-dancing. Winter Creek Ranch is a little slice of ranch-life heaven in Ballard.
