Great family experience
Such a great experience. The property manager/owners were so friendly and accomodating. The interaction with the animals was truly a highlight. The house was set up perfect for the 6 people we had. Beds and couch were comfortable and clean. The whole house was well kept, updated, and clean as well. We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous stay, perfect for the family!
Susan did such an amazing job helping us get settled in. We were visiting for my mother in laws 73rd birthday, the house was perfect for the family. We all fit with more than enough space and there were a lot of great touches that made the stay even more perfect. The property itself is beyond gorgeous and theres so many awesome farm pals around to visit! I would highly recommend this space for anyone to visit!

Magical Animal Experience
Wow! Is pretty much all of our reactions. The Lone Sheep Ranch is everything it promises and so much more. The owners are lovely and their animals are beyond charming. The ranch is immaculate and the house we stayed in was all redone beautifully. They even stocked the fridge with fresh eggs and morning essentials. Some of the animals roam free and there is something beautiful to see out of every window. There was even a rainbow across the pasture. This is our new favorite place for sure!!!

Magical weekend getaway
We loved our stay here. The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They spent time talking to us about the ranch and letting us pet all the animals. Also, the ranch is so close to both Santa Ynez and Los Olivos town. recommend to anyone looking to spend some time wine tasting or to families looking to have an animal farm experience.

Beautiful Farmhouse - Definitely Coming Back!!
We had an amazing stay at Lone Sheep. The rooms were spacious and had comfy beds! The open floor plan was great for all of us to gather around for a glass of wine. We didn't get you to use the jacuzzi but definitely will next time! I would recommend this stay to anyone interested in going to the Santa Ynez or Los Olivios area! Thank you again!

Relaxing at the Ranch
The location is wonderful, located on a family owned, working horse ranch/property. The grounds are well kept, quiet, and relaxing with places to sit and enjoy the sunsets or sunrises! Owners Susan and Alex were easy to work with, are welcoming, and made sure all was well throughout the stay. It’s obvious they take pride in the property which was clean and stocked with necessities. Susan even made sure we had some snacks and items for breakfast on arrival should we need them. The Ranch is within minutes of Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang…take your pick of shopping, wine tasting, good food, the casino, and much more to enjoy! Our tip…venture out but definitely take advantage of the well equipped kitchen/bbq and enjoy time at the ranch with family or friends like we did!
