Sweet Queen Retreat in Downtown Los Olivos.

This well-designed apartment with its private coded entry offers comfort and convenience whether you want to stay in and relax or take a quick walk to the town's renowned wine tasting scene just a few minutes away on foot. Inside this sweet studio you'll find a welcoming lower level queen bedroom and two separate raised areas: one with a tub/shower combo bathroom and the other a lounge area with a convenient counter and sink area including a mini fridge, microwave and a full stash of coffee-making equipment including K-Pod. Much of the art and furnishings were designed and handcrafted by the hosts incorporating deconstructed oak barrels to give it a one-of-a-kind wine country feel.

Outside you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of our lush back yard relaxing under the shade of two gorgeous mulberry trees in a semi-private outdoor sitting area complete with a mini propane fire pit for those chilly valley nights. While the hosts live in the front house and sometimes walk through the back yard, guests will typically have it to themselves - especially in the evenings. Feel free to wander out by car to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills of the surrounding Santa Ynez Valley and all it has to offer (wineries, casino, hiking and biking and Solvang "The Danish Capital of America" to name a few). Your dedicated parking space will be there when you return so no need to hassle with the limited parking in town. To make your stay extra special we like to bake delicious treats for our guests!

This was the perfect spot for our stay! We were able to walk everywhere in town we needed to be for the wedding we were attending at The Inn at Mattei's, and at a much more budget-friendly price. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet with a very comfortable bed and plenty of room to relax between exploring town by day and evening cocktail parties. Absolutely recommend!

Fantastic place to stay!

This charming efficiency apartment was perfect for our stay, clean and comfy, and within walking distance of everything in town! Our host, Mia, was fantastic with suggestions for wine tastings and restaurants. She and her husband Brian even hung out with us for a wine tasting and dinner one evening! Mia was super responsive to our every need! We can't wait to return and stay here again!!

Great location and wonderful hostess

Very, very helpful hostess; Mia even offered to bring us homemade baked goods, but due to timing we couldn't take advantage of her offer. Great location in downtown Los Olivos. Studio was so comfortable and clean. Very quiet - slept well.

Great little studio

The hostess was great. She left me cookies and had half & half for my morning coffee in the fridge. Quiet spot and enjoyed sitting on the patio with a glass of wine. Easy walk to the Wine Tasting in Los Olivos and restaurants. I would recommend a stay.

Fantastic location and immaculately clean.

Mia was an amazing communicator. She left us delicious cookies and extra ice due to a heatwave. The unit is adorable and well appointed. It is one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The outside seating area was private and cute. She gave us great recommendations on dinner and tastings. She’s also quite the musician as we were lucky enough to see her perform at local business. I highly recommend staying here.

Weekend in Los Olivos

We found this little gem in the perfect neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Rivera. Leading up to the stay, we had several conversations with the property owner which helped us prepare. The little casita was immaculately clean, safe, convenient, and adorable, with plenty of amenities. I was amazed at how quiet it was. The location is perfect for walking all around in Los Olivos. Property owners were warm and welcoming and have thought of everything. We highly recommend it!!

The perfect weekend getaway!

My fiancé and I booked a weekend stay with Mia in Los Olivos and had the most amazing time! Mia was incredibly helpful from check-in to check-out and went above and beyond. The rental comes with one private parking spot which was very convenient and the location could not have been more perfect. We parked our car and never got back in it until we were heading home. There are so many amazing restaurants, shops, and wineries within walking distance. Mia gave us several recommendations and we even got to spend some time her and her husband at the winery where she works. The last morning of our stay, we were delivered fresh biscuits with butter and jam! 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back.
