GUESTS SAY THEY LOVE STAYING AT RESTORATION OAKS!
Wine Tasting ('Sideways, the movie area), Beaches, the Danish town of Solvang, Antiques, Nojoqui Falls, The Chumash Casino (gambling/concerts) …all less than 15 minutes away. Everything else you'll need is just 5 minutes north, in the town of Buellton. .

:: DESCRIPTION ::
Restoration Oaks Vacation/Retreat House —genuine and rustic. Great for small to medium sized groups looking for modern amenities, great decor, comfort, and location convenience — all in a natural, rustic setting on a 1,000 acre working Ranch. The Retreat House and adjoining Cookhouse (an additional cabin-like lounge room for playing games or just hanging out) are located directly off Highway 101, near the front of the property at Restoration Oaks. Just over the backyard berm is Santa Barbara Blueberries, a world-renowned UPick berry farm. There are miles of private dirt roads on the property, are great for hiking, jogging, and mountain biking. Groups will enjoy the rolling hills, canyons, valleys, and seasonal creeks and ponds. During winter and spring months the grass is green and the ponds are often full. The views are always beautiful and there are many interesting areas to explore. NOTE: For general safety, we suggest exploring in pairs or small groups. While exploring the wild oaks woodlands, children should always be accompanied and supervised by adults.

WIFI for $50 per night, two smart TVS, Wii Gaming System, and a Kawaii piano, are a few of the extra touches that make the Retreat House at Restoration Oaks an enjoyable place to host retreats, small family get-togethers, and relaxing vacation getaways, weddings & other events.

The Retreat House is minutes away from many local WINERIES—we're just 5 minutes from Buellton, (the town where the MOVIE 'SIDEWAYS' was filmed) ', 15 minutes from Chumash CASINO, and a little less than 10 minutes from the Danish town of SOLVANG (see listing for other local attractions). WINE TASTING is a favorite pastime in our area, and Buellton has several highly-rated restaurants to choose from. Buellton also has convenient SHOPPING, including a large Albertson's Supermarket and a CVS Pharmacy. Just a little further is the Danish town of Solvang, with enough shops and gift stores to fill a day. Los Olivos is a town full of ANTIQUE SHOPS and WINE TASTING- 20 minutes north on Highway 101.

For a real ‘laid back’ treat, try star gazing. There are no city lights out here. The stars shine brighter than many are used to, and relaxing under the night sky is easily one of the least strenuous ways to spend the end of a great day.

See you at the ranch!

Wonderful stay!

For the second year in a row, we enjoyed a lovely retreat for college student leaders. The property is in a beautiful location and worked really well for our group. The hosts are amazing and very responsive to any requests/questions. We even enjoyed a tour of their farm next door and then picked raspberries and blackberries to enjoy.There is even a fire pit and twinkly lights over the lawn. We hope to come back many times in the future!

Overprice Glamping Experience

This is a beautiful house w a lot of potential. High reviews had us excited. We were okay w the price (more than a 4 star hotel room/person). However, the amenities, services, and cleanliness were UNACCEPTABLE. TV wasn’t working. Sinks in the bathrooms didn’t drain. The sink was gross and needed re-caulking. The lock on the bathroom door wasn't working and the situation was unpleasant to deal with. The host lives near by, upon sharing the concern, her only response was “I’m not the handyman.” One of beds had soiled linen. The light in the fridge isn't working, the freezer door is broken. I understand there's a lot to maintain in a house so I'm not going to add the spiderwebs to the list because we understand we are adjacent to a farm. But the outdoor entertainment room is packed with webs and dusty rendering it unusable despite the fact it is marketed and was one of the larger selling points for our group. I don’t understand the sky high fees for cleaning bc it wasn’t clean. The carpet/areas under the couch were dusty/filthy/not vacuumed. Dust balls and hair. We spent more time cleaning the place than enjoying it. The quality of service was less than desirable. We took plenty of pictures and videos of all the issues. We were also ready to pay the pet fee as one of our friends wasn’t aware of the policy and couldn’t find a last minute pet sitter for their hypoallergenic maltipoo, but upon seeing the uncleanliness we felt we were owed a price adjustment if anything.

Extended family weekend stay

The house was a nice place to have our family get-together. The house is located on a large ranch property that is spacious and we wished we would have had more time to explore. It was also great to have the blueberry farm nearby within walking distance. Lastly, the owners were very communicative and helpful with their information.

Memorable Christmas Family Celebration

Perfect for a big group. Spacious bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms. We love that the kitchen is functional. Beautiful surroundings around the ranch. We felt safe with the security gate. The only thing I can say is the bedroom downstairs needs some improvements (could use a working air purifier to eliminate the smell, air freshener and an area rug would be a plus). Overall, we all had a great time. The ranch was beautiful. Thank you, Ed & Shay!

Great property!

Everything was amazing! Beautiful house, tons of inside and outside sitting and table room, incredible grape arbor just outside the kitchen, huge yard, great property (hiking, etc.). Blueberry stand kind of next door / over a berm of land, some ranch workers back and forth on the shared driveway, and muffled traffic noise from Highway 101, so maybe not for you if you're goal is to be isolated from civilization / away from other people, but we did not mind any of that at all. Our only criticisms are the basement bedroom smelled a bit musty and the bocce court and foosball table mentioned and shown in the VRBO listing did not exist. We rented the house for a family college graduation celebration, and it was absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend!
