About this property

HISTORIC FARMHOUSE ON 400 ACRE RANCH

Come experience something unique and magical in our turn-of-the-century remodeled farm house. This rustic home is nestled within a 400 acre secluded ranch located just over the mountain from the City of San Luis Obispo.

Allow yourself to travel back in time while you enjoy this 2 bedroom 1 bath 1000 square foot home that comfortably sleeps 4 guests in its king and queen sized beds. The newly remodeled kitchen with its granite counter-tops and modern appliances is fully equipped to prepare delicious meals. The flagstone patio with its propane grill and wood-burning Santa Maria style bbq makes a wonderful setting for enjoying a traditional Central Coast home-cooked tri-tip steak with all the fixings. Guests can relax on the patio or wrap-around porch, sip local wines and beers while watching hawks and vultures circling overhead, deer grazing on the nearby hillsides and wild turkeys foraging in the adjacent fields. Savor the fresh country air and revel in the sound of silence.

Guests are invited to bring their hiking boots, binoculars and perhaps mountain bikes. The ranch is almost wholly surrounded by Cal Poly State University property with its extensive network of trails where one can literally explore for miles.

Whether you are visiting the Central Coast to sample its world-famous wines and restaurants, to explore its pristine coastline, or simply to relax and unwind, you'll be glad that you decided to make this rustic home your headquarters. It is truly a hidden jewel.


CAVEATS:
The house is located at the end of a 1.5 dirt/gravel road, The road, while county maintained, is not well-suited for guests with low clearance vehicles. If you have such a vehicle, you'll need to drive slowly and carefully.
The house was originally built in the 1890's and although it has been modernized and upgraded, it is not not well-suited for people with mobility disabilities. For example, the living room floor slopes and a prior elderly guest complained that this was disorienting for her.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

This is a beautiful ranch. Basically no neighbors in sight. So peaceful, so quiet. Beautiful nature and animals show up. And yet so close to town and Cal poly. So close to Morro Bay, Cambria, down town SLO. Perfection.

We had another wonderful trip to the farmhouse, saw turkeys and deer, baby owls, and lots of squirrels. The farmhouse is so comfortable, clean, and peaceful that it always makes for a great, relaxing stay. We love it and will be back again soon.

The farmhouse is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. However, my biggest concern was that we weren’t informed about tick season until the day of check-in. Had we known earlier, we might have chosen different dates. Ticks were all over the property—including the front porch, door frames, and even inside the house, found one attached behind my knee which made us leave immediately due to the fact that ticks can carry lime disease's. We checked in Thursday night and decided to leave by midday Friday. I recommend confirming the seasonal conditions before booking since cancellation options was not available.

Peaceful place in SLO

We were visiting our son at Cal Poly and wanted to experience something different from our previous stays around town. This property is wonderful! It is peaceful and charming and allows you to really soak in just how special San Luis Obispo is. Highly recommend, especially if you enjoy viewing the local wildlife.

We have stayed at the farm house now several times, and every time it is extremely comfortable, clean, quiet, and relaxing. We have two more trips planned for this year because we love it so much.

The where am I feeling!

Escaping for a weekend from Southern Cal to Central California at this location was everything! The feeling of space, of nature of owls flying, and making their wonderful sounds. No one in sight, but beautiful San Luis Obispo Hills around us; we were refreshed and renewed from this simple and beautiful space!

Close yet far away

The view out of every window was so beautiful, to think you can wake up on a farm surrounded by nothing but nature and animals and be in downtown SLO in 15 minutes … amazing. We loved the comfy beds, kitchen had everything we needed and the house itself seemed larger than in the pictures. It was like living on a movie set for a week!

Tranquil, secluded retreat

Completely secluded, beautiful ranch with nothing in sight but rolling hills, a wooded creek, and a few cows grazing on a distant hillside. Chairs on north- and east-facing porch offer lovely views. A walk over the creek and up the ridge affords expansive views of stretching to the ocean and Moro Rock. House is very comfortable with an excellent kitchen. Only quibble was that two sets of salt and pepper shakers on the table were empty; we found salt in the cabinet but no pepper. And we would have appreciated better and bigger towels. But this was a lovely and memorable rental.

Simply Amazing

This has to be one of the most amazing VRBO properties we have stayed in. The house is so comfortable, warm and inviting that we felt at home right away. The private location, beautiful views and complete peace and quiet was just what we were looking for. Waking up to see deer and wild turkeys outside the house was really a treat. It was so great to stay in a place that was so isolated and peaceful but just a short drive from all San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast has to offer. This was truly a unique experience we hope to enjoy again one day.

Fantastic Stay!

This property is exactly as they advertise. If you want a quiet, secluded stay that’s close to SLO, this is your spot. Wide open country surrounds you and the house is big enough for a family. We cooked out and had a very peaceful stay with family. For being the middle of July, it cooled down nicely in the evening and if you open the windows and turn the fans on you’ll never miss your air conditioner. We would 10 out of 10 recommend this VRBO.
