Couples Cottage l Steps to Downtown

Curious about what makes Solvang the most unique destination in California? Live like a local and find out for yourself at our freshly renovated Great Dane Guest house. Comfortably blending modern convenience with kitschy charm, our cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy Solvang's favorite pastimes. Belly up to a wine bar or binge on pastries and Netflix. Pet-friendly & private with kitchen & bath, garden patio & fast wifi, the cottage provides the best space to cozy up for a romantic getaway! The space The Cottage at Great Dane Guest House is as charming as it sounds! Freshly remodeled, this studio offers clean, modern living, with a touch of vintage charm. The bedroom features a queen Tempurpedic bed, 300 thread count linens and down bedding. The living area provides plenty of space for you to spread out and play games, watch a movie or comfortably read a book, and features a sofa that doubles as a small twin-sized bed, appropriate for a child or adult less than 5'5" tall. The quaint bathroom will remind you of Europe and features a small walk-in shower with a tall shower head (adjustable up to over 8 feet). The Cottage also has a fun kitchen with gas stovetop, fridge and microwave, and is equipped with everything you need to cook dinner or prepare your morning cup of coffee (there is no oven). If you feel like getting out, spend some time on the private patio, and perhaps you'll see Solvang's horse-drawn trolley pass by. You can also hang out in our larger courtyard garden. Featuring drought tolerant and primarily native plants, the garden changes season-by-season, and always lends a little color to your scenery. It's the perfect place to dine outside or relax with a glass of wine. Access to the cottage is easy with your own private parking space and gated entrance just behind the unit. Each building is separate, so you will not have anyone staying above you. Our cottage accommodates 2-4 people -- a perfect spot for a couple or a small family. Our rentals are also pet friendly, so your dog (Or cat? Rabbit? Turtle?) is welcome. Bedding and towels will be provided, along with toiletries such as soaps, shampoo/conditioner and lotion. We offer EO Products, which are free from synthetic fragrances, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free. Our linens and towels are freshly laundered with detergent that is hypoallergenic and contains no dyes, phosphates, ultraviolet brighteners or perfumes. Guest access The cottage is a private first floor space that has it's own entrances (2). The private front patio overlooks one of Solvang's main streets (there is also a driveway that ends where the patio begins, so owner's cars may be parked there which may obstruct the view, and occasionally owners or another guest may walk through the area to access a gate). The courtyard is available as well, if you'd like to spread out and hang in the garden with a glass of wine or dinner. The unit is behind the main house but accessed from either the street or the alley, with your own parking spot just behind the building. There will be nobody above you. Use of the common areas (Courtyard and front yard) are subject to availability, depending on use by owners or other guests. Other things to note Our city requires a 12% Transient occupancy tax, which will be added to your booking automatically. The tax is based on the nightly rental rate, and not on the cleaning fee. A Transient Occupancy Tax Certificate from the city is on display in the unit. Rental rates vary depending on day of the week and seasons. Please see calendar for rates specific to the days you are reserving. Our property is situated directly behind Solvang Festival Theater - a charming outdoor theater that hosts plays and music events mostly throughout the summer. From the cottage, you can actually see the theater (unfortunately not the stage) and listen to the shows. While the shows can be heard clearly while outdoors, you can hear them only slightly while inside. We love hearing the shows in the evenings and have never found it to be a nuisance. But you should consider that if you prefer perfect silence. The shows are in the evenings, usually finishing up around 10pm. During the day, Solvang is a bustle with tourist activity and the tingling of bells on the trolley horses. But, by about 6 pm, things quiet down considerably and you rarely hear any noise at night.
