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.

Great for dogs! House is comfortable and cozy. My husband and I stayed here with our two dogs. Trails on property are great for walking the dogs. Saw a lot of deer and squirrels around the yard. House is still very close to town and yet very private. Highly recommend if you are traveling with dogs.

Beautiful property and setting. Feels like it’s miles away from everything—so peaceful and quiet. I kept my little dog on a leash at all times due to hawk activity. We also enjoyed a visit from half a dozen buzzards! If you are a tall or large person — or have mobility issues—be aware the toilet is small. We didn’t have a problem but thought it was worth noting. We’d love to stay again.

Check in - easy peasy! Views - fantastic! Host - beyond accommodating!!!! We had some personal challenges with our dog that didn’t work out for us (our blind dog couldn’t navigate over the wavy floors) 2 miles in on the dirt/gravel road was tough on her too. For the time we were there, very much enjoyed the turkeys, deer and being so incredibly close to the hawks. Just gorgeous!

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.

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!
