The Solvang Gardens Lodge was the first motel in Solvang, built in 1950 when few people even
knew that Solvang existed. It was fashioned after a classic Danish farmhouse and placed in an
idyllic location on the fringe of the village, overlooking the rolling hills of the Alisal
Guest Ranch and the Santa Ynez River. Because of its lovely garden setting, the name of the
motel was changed in 1999 to the Solvang Gardens Lodge. Come stay with us and discover the
magic that brings people back to the Solvang Gardens Lodge year after year.
