The Creekside Spot
Not as described/Not responsive
I tried to give this host a chance, but it didn’t happen. First off this spot is not made for travel trailers. They do not have a 30amp hookup as they advertise. If you bring 200ft worth of extension cords you can connect to their barn. But, that was barely enough power to run my microwave due to the distance of the extension cords. I had to use my generator during the day and then switch to ground power at night for the quiet. Which was not fun, because I have to reboot everything every day. It will not power your AC unit at all, which was also not fun in 100° weather. I tried to message the host. No response at all through the app. Finally I text her, and she just says oh that makes sense, I should have known because we own an electric company. I’m dumbfounded they own an electric company and can’t provide electricity. She just kept saying sorry, but provided no help. What’s weird is they have a beautiful RV spot with a 50amp hookup next to the cabins, but she said I wasn’t allowed to use it. So it sat empty my entire stay as I fought for power. She finally offered a discount, but never followed through. I waited and waited and she just never responded regarding the refund she promised. I think the name of the space should be called roadside instead of Creekside. As it is 30ft from an active road close to a stop sign where people gun their engines. The dry creek bed is about 80yards away. Way over priced for what’s advertised. There is a nice dog and crickets, I enjoyed.

Wine country cabin 1
Peaceful
It looked like the photos, the bed was comfortable, and the linens were sufficient and nice. It had very limited AC for hot weather, the AC was at floor level so of limited help, and there were no screens in some of the windows so dirt was constantly flying in the windows when they were open. Kitchen was sparsely furnished. There is no TV, but we didn’t come for that. The BBQ was very dirty and covered in spider webs. We and the other guests there decided not to use it. The back area was incredibly peaceful especially at night when the cricket symphony roars its relaxing melody. The property dog, Aspen, is one of the best concierge we’ve met! He occasionally stops by to check on your stay, but is never a bother. In fact it’s a pleasant surprise. It feels very safe. The entire property is beautifully decorated, the trampoline was fun. Great location to explore the little towns around like Solvang and Los Olivos.
All in all, we did like where we stayed and would stay there again.
We stayed in a cabin and had the RV spot. That review is separate from this.
Wish we had known about Bobs Well Bread right around the corner sooner!

CREEKSIDE BUNK HOUSE
Good stay at bunkhouse
The bunkhouse was a great location, only 10 minutes out from Solvang! There was a/c, lights and a fan. There was no service or working wifi. We arrived at night so navigating to the backyard was a little difficult with no lights on back there. The twin bed pulls out into a king, which is a nice feature. Sheets and everything seemed very clean but here were a lot of spiders! Definitely bring bug spray, as nats were pretty bad outside. Overall it seemed like a safe and quiet area! We did try contacting the host multiple times (1. to approve our large dog, 2. for a potential change in reservation, and 3. to let her know we had to leave early because of an emergency at home) we never got a response, or even saw them. I would recommend to stay here fo

CREEKSIDE BUNK HOUSE
Cozy and central
Lovely spot centrally located in the valley. We were there for a quick overnight and used the trundle as a king bed. Everything was clean and cozy. The grounds were fantastic and a nice place to ease into the morning.
Despite the compact size of the cabin, they thoughtfully included a fridge, french press and small coffee machine. I would definitely stay here again.

Wine country cabin 1
Rustic fun!
The cabin was exactly as described and pictured. Rustic! Complete with the look and feel of late 19th early 20th century cabin construction but with modern conveniences of microwave, shower and comfy bed (if you like it on the softer side), as well as heating and AC units. We were told by the owner, Lisa, that cabin 1 needed its own dedicated circuit. Until then, trying to run AC while laundry was being run was not possible until that run could be put in. To her credit, she offered to stop doing laundry if we desired. Since we were going exploring during the day, we declined her offer allowing her to prepare the other cabin for guests. Be advised, if not familiar with valley temps in the summer, it gets HOT! So, allow at least a hour for AC to cool down the tin roofed cabin. The grounds were well maintained with a shared lighted outdoor are and picnic table between the two cabins. Another larger outdoor lighted dining area was also available.

CREEKSIDE BUNK HOUSE
Super cute yard and vibe BUT the bunk house is SMALL. Two small women fit fine but if I’d brought a large man … he would not fit! The larger cabins look awesome and I’d try therm next time for sure.
