Here's what guests are saying about The Carriage House in the Vineyard.

"What a little treasure for two, or even a quiet retreat for one! You never want to leave this little gem. It is a well-appointed, small, cozy space with lovely outdoor spots to see the sun come up for breakfast or sit and sip wine in the afternoon watching the sunset—comfy king bed, fireplace, and beaming with natural light. The owners have filled this spot with love inside and out; you feel it! Los Olivos is just a short drive, and groceries are a short walk. "Just voted the most charming small town in California." There is a beautiful winery across the vineyard; you can spot it from one of the beautiful windows. The winery is just a quick drive around the corner... a not to miss the place! Comfy bed, Auto-fireplace, and filled with natural light. If you find it booked, it might be us... we can't wait to go back! Our hosts were beyond lovely, and Journey is a treasure!!
Private note
I just wanted to thank you and Nancy for turning the carriage house into something we all can experience! What a treat in the morning to see the sunrise over the vineyard, the birds fluttering around your sweet garden and feeding on the seed sock hanging out the window. The evenings were equally as sweet, sitting outside sipping wine and watching the sun go down. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back again. Kym & Phil
Here's what our last guest had to say about The Carriage
House.
"Loved this beautiful place overlooking a vineyard. An artist's eye in the decor. Peaceful and relaxing space inside and out. The little touches, like lavender-smelling sheets and towels, made you feel like you were at a spa. Close to the downtowns of Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos. Plenty of shops, restaurants, and wine-tasting rooms! Walking distance to a great walking/running path that goes for miles. Also, walking distance to an awesome grocery market, El Rancho, for amazing prepared foods, coffee, smoothies, and breakfast items already prepared, so there's no need to cook!! The casino is a short distance away as well.” Ann

Reawaken your senses to the beauty of unbridled nature. The view alone will help you rekindle your sense of self. There is a legendary story about Brave and Maiden, the magnificent vineyard accompanying your view. (

Either a two-night minimum during the week or weekend, or you can book longer to experience the romantic charm of this special place. The view of the lush and green mountains, the vines bursting with grapes, the stars glittering at night, casting the moon's shadows across the vineyard. Awaken in the morning, as the light foggy air rolls in and glistens on the leaves of the vineyard and the chateau beyond, and you will think you are dreaming somewhere in France. A recently restored 1920s Carriage House overlooking 300 acres of vines in Solvang/Santa Ynez Valley. Private. Quiet. More beautiful than Provence. Magnificent gardens adorn this one-of-a-kind property with a private entrance. Perfect for two people for any occasion. A weekend escape from the confines of a city. Minutes from the best restaurants and fine dining, and minutes to the most beautiful wineries. If Vincent Van Gogh were alive, he would have painted here. The most perfect setting for an artist or writer. If you want to relax and unwind, this is your place. The Carriage House contains original French Posters and artifacts, some dating back to the 1800s. American and Native American art throughout. The bedroom has a king-sized bed and imported sheets. An overlooking loft has a Queen sized Futon and Beauty Rest Mattress. There is a small kitchen if needed. Most guests prefer to dine out. Also, walking distance to the best market in town. Centrally located on a private street, It is a gated estate.

The Carriage House is simply a dream come true. The owners reside in The Vineyard House, which is adjacent to your private retreat and view of the reserve, once formally owned by Sunstone Winery, one of the best places to visit for organic wines. This is it if you're looking for a healing retreat with the best view in the valley. And if you love roses, The Carriage House boasts over 100 garden varieties. Plus, guests get permission to visit The Vineyard House World Peace Garden and smell the roses. Instead of wasting your money on a trip to France, spend a week at The Carriage House in the Vineyard.

Here are a few ideas once you get here.

Best biking or walking nearby.

Drive out to Highway 246 and turn right. Go to the first stop light and turn right on Refugio Road. Drive about 2 miles. you will pass about three vineyards. The 1st is Braven and Maiden on your right.. Please call for an appointment and say your guests of the Chuda's. Ask for Leslee or Bailey, and they will confirm your reservation.. The second vineyard you will pass is Kalyra, which is mostly Australian varieties and not too expensive. Next on your right is Sunstone vineyard, just before you cross a bridge. They have wonderful red wines and a magnificent setting. You can go there for a tasting or bring a bag lunch and purchase wines by the glass. Next, go over the bridge for about 2mi you will pass beautiful old oaks. at the next bridge, keep going to the next one, then park off the road where you can. then walk for about a mile or more. There are seven bridges if you feel like going the entire way. This is truly the most beautiful scenic walk in the valley. You will experience the most famous ranches and see cattle and other wildlife; at one time, this land belonged to the famous movie star and cowboy, Jimmy Stewart.. On the way back, I suggest you go to Roblar vineyard 3mi to the north, then Bridlewood minutes away .bring picnic lunch in the park center of the horse track. Enjoy our suggestions, and feel free to contact me for more information.
