Santa Ynez Rustic Retreat

If you're looking for a getaway that's a little more off the beaten track, then this package is for you. Escape into Santa Ynez for a 3 night stay in this cozy cabin!

The Lodge and the Cabin are the guest quarters for the historic Rio Ynez Ranch, an 85-acre horse ranch in Santa Ynez. Previously, these two houses, were only available to guests of the owner, including many storied personalities. Now you can share in the total privacy--- while only 5 minutes from downtown Santa Ynez, 10 to Los Olivos. Stroll 100 paces and sit at the edge of the Santa Ynez River and listen to the landscape of birdsong. Sit on the sprawling deck with a glass of local wine and ponder the uninterrupted panorama of mountains. Swing on a hammock in the orchard and read.

You won’t see a sign of civilization during your stay. Furnished with a mixture of antiques and rare rustic furniture. The kitchen in the Lodge is fully equipped for you to cook a fine meal, but the restaurants of Santa Ynez are only moments away, wineries too numerous to mention.

Donated by Andy Fleming. Value: $1,200 for 3 nights.

Vail Vacation

Experience the majestic colors of Summer or Fall in Vale, Colorado. Read a testimonial from the last couple to win a stay in this beautiful condo:

"Being the high bid for this Vail, Colorado condo in a recent charity auction turned out to be a win-win situation.  The charity received the money it needed, and we got a fabulous vacation at a perfectly located and well-appointed condo.  We parked our car in the covered parking space and didn’t touch it again until the day we left town.  There was no need for a car: everything is within walking distance.  There are gorgeous walking trails from village to village; or, if you don’t want to walk, there is a free shuttle that takes you from village to village.  

There are restaurants, shopping opportunities and activities of all kinds…..for whatever you are mood.  But most importantly, the condo itself is so comfortable and has every amenity you could ever want, that it would be very easy to stay in and stay put for the week (however, you would be missing the ambience, beauty, and multitude of activities offered in and around Vail’s little community.)  If you get the chance, we recommend that you visit the Betty Ford Botanic Gardens and Park:  it is spectacular. 

We loved this condo, and we urge you to make this same win-win situation for yourself:  money to your charity event, and a wonderful vacation for yourself. –Bill and Diana Thomas, Santa Barbara, CA"

Escape to Vail during the summer when the whole town is outdoors soaking up the landscape's natural beauty or during the fall season when  trees are changing colors and the air is turning crisp in anticipation of winter. Spend a couple days hiking and exploring the world renown town of Vale and relax at night in this cozy yet elegant apartment!

Donated by Board Member Cheryl Giefer. A 6 night and 7 day stay in this coveted apartment could be yours!
