We had a lovely weekend at this cute, rustic cabin. The views are beautiful and the deck is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The cabin itself has charm, though it feels a bit dated and could benefit from a refresh. It’s also quite isolated, with about a 15-minute drive to reach restaurants or grocery stores, so plan ahead. Overall, a peaceful getaway if you’re looking for quiet and scenery.

Anna, the host, was very welcoming and the property was really nice - very clean, bright and inviting. It is a beautiful and special location - in the midst of an avacado orchard with a great view of the ocean. Extremely peaceful, private and quiet.

Cut cottage in an amazing location

Enjoyed my stay at the cottage. The property is really unique, surrounded on all sides by the avocado grove, with views of the ocean and an abundance of wildflowers. Felt safe and secure and the host is so kind and considerate. If you love buying produce from local producers and fresh fish straight off the boat, Goleta is a great place to visit.

Pretty Bungalow

This little gem is tucked away in the middle of a working avocado orchard. The view of the rolling hills and Pacific Ocean is impeccable. We spent each night on the deck watching the sunset. Highly recommend and will return.

A retreat on a ranch in the hills

This is an escape on a small ranch in the hills overlooking the ocean. Our hostess, Anna, was kind and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. There's a coral behind the house with beautiful horses. The house is surrounded by avocado trees and there's a pomegranate tree at the entrance to the property. It's about a 2.5 mile walk to the nearest beach. The beach is so beautiful and great for walking. We enjoyed our stay.

Avocado Outpost

We really enjoyed staying at this hide-away and we'll be booking it in the future. It's a really cozy garden guest house with a great wrap-around overlooking an avocado grove and the Pacific in the distance. Quiet and secluded, but only a few minutes from Goleta and only a few more minutes from Santa Barbara. Bonus: nice beds and bedding and even fresh cut flowers upon arrival. Also, very good communication with the owner before and during our stay.

Perfect!

Our little family just returned from Anna’s magical haven. Everything about it was perfect. Surrounded by 1,000 avocado trees in bloom, nestled into the private hilltop with views of the ocean, greeted warmly by our hostess - we couldn’t have asked for more. Looking forward to returning!

Loved this property. Anna was fantastic and went above and beyond. I was sold on this property because of the porch. Morning coffee and humming birds. It's beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding area. Place was clean and comfortable. Just perfect. Hope to visit Anna again sometime !

Tranquil and Beautiful

Tranquil and remote, the Tack Room is a wonderful place to get away, relax and recharge. We loved the rustic-chic decor, comfortable beds, gourmet kitchen, and large deck facing the ocean. Flower bouquets, freshly picked from the garden, added to the charm of the hillside cottage. We loved sitting on the deck, listening to the birds and the wind in the trees, while enjoying the expansive views. And we loved meeting our gracious host, Anna, who was sweet and helpful throughout the stay, and fascinating to talk to. Truly a memorable experience!
