Wine Country Cottage

Le petite Maison is absolutely charming. We loved the quaint touches throughout the cottage. The large connecting bathroom is spacious with plenty of room for toiletries. The location is amongst a grove of olive trees and french lavender which adds to the charm. We hope to return in the near future!

quaint property and close to town and wine country

This is our 3rd time staying at this property and we enjoyed our stay. The cottage has all the things you need for a short stay. The grounds are lovely with all the lavender plants and the area is quiet, quiet, quiet. Yet so close to SY or Los Olivos for dinner and wine country for winery visits. Hope to return again... In prior visits, there was use of a bocce ball court, but sadly that is no longer the case - we miss that!

Perfect retreat

My husband and I were fortunate to celebrate our 15-year wedding anniversary at La Petite Maison for 2-nights. Jana, the host was extremely accommodating, and was quick to respond to any questions we had. The location is very peaceful, and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. Jana gifted us a bottle of her estate's wine, as well as a few home-produced lavender products. Our only complaint is that our visit was too short. We’re looking forward to future stays at La Petite Maison!

Lavender Retreat!

We met our dearest friends for some time away from the kids to try the vineyards in the area. The cottage is so cute inside and out! We enjoyed evenings on the front porch smelling the lavender in the air and hearing the buzz of all the busy bees! The lavender soap and lotion were a hit, and the couple of complimentary products were much appreciated. This area is so quiet and quaint and we hope to visit again sometime soon! Highly recommend!

This charming little French cottage on a lavender farm did not disappoint. It’s tiny but has everything we needed and set in a beautiful peaceful location. Spent 3 nights relaxing on the property, lying in the hammock looking up at the stars, going into town (Santa Ynez/Los Olivos/Buellton etc). The beds are very comfortable and the decor is charming and tasteful. Love the clawfoot tub and the host’s Lavande bath and body products throughout the house to try and purchase. I wish our stay happened before the lavender was harvested so we could experience the smells we read about, but that’s not a complaint. Next time we will try to schedule our stay to be there before the lavender is cut. Just a couple things needed but nothing a dealbreaker: more hooks to hang towels and I’ll bring a lighted mirror next time, since the lighting in bathroom is a little dark. Just small things. We love it and the hosts were lovely and communicative.

11 nights stay; Flies, Dust, Mold etc. Uniquely undermaintained.

They built a nice casita-then let it slip into disrepair and neglect.Good design and building materials, tasteful furnishings, very good cutlery, bedding and appliances. It is isolated and quiet.However: There were/are dead and alive flies in every room, including the kitchen and bath. There are dead flies and insects between the screens and the windows. The widows are dirty.Owner responds that he cannot solve the fly problem. There was dust on the floor, shelves and sills. There was dried mold in the wine decanter and water with mold left in the water kettle. Food particles were stuck inside the kitchen sink. Interior walls need paint. Chimney wall shows dark smudges. Couch is badly stained. Entranceway/terrace has dirt, leaves, dried olive pits. A left over sock was in a decorataive fixture. Misc. debris.Bedside table is broken, lock mechanism on window has fallen off, interior door handle is only taped in place. Missing weather stripping around door leaves a substantial gap to the ourtside. Welcome book badly needs updating.

Nice hideaway in the hills

This is a petite cottage in the hills of Santa Ynez. Fun to stay and experience the calm of the countryside. There are nice amenities on the property, to include a wonderful porch to eat a morning meal. The place is outfitted with great bedding and a cozy feel. Great for a couple or family of four. I would recommend giving it a try.

Country Getaway

We had the most amazing time in La Petite Maison. It was really what we needed. We took long walks along the country road and spent most of the time in and around the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed. The cottage was charming and we especially took full advantage of the fire place inside and having the heater outside allowed us to eat outside on the cool evenings. The welcome amenities were a nice touch. Lovely place to getaway in the Valley.

Just perfect

I have to be careful in terms of how much Praise I offer as it could have the effect of making further bookings more complicated – but just have to say, this is an absolutely perfect location and home for a wine country getaway north of Santa Barbara. Dana was wonderful, easy to communicate with, the location is absolutely fantastic With proximity to everything nearby. Definitely will stay again.
