About this farm stay rental

Our modern farm style ranch house is set within a working horse farm - This newly renovated, 2 bedroom home features vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, a spacious kitchen, and a private fenced-in yard where you can enjoy outdoor BBQ’s, yard games, or just relax relax around the fire pit on Adirondack chairs and unwind under the bistro lights and twinkling stars of the crisp central coastal evenings.  

Nestled in a 5 acre working horse farm, you’ll be greeted by a number of beautiful horses on your way to the front door. During your stay, you may hear the clip-clop of playing hooves, or the excited nickering of horses awaiting morning & evening feedings. (Feeding times are approximately 6:30am and 4:00pm for reference.) Horse riding and lessons are not available on site, but there are other local trail ride experiences we can direct you to.

Our get away is a unique vacation rental property because of its convenient location to all the amenities of the city, yet the best of quiet country living. With inspiring views of the “Seven Sisters” range (a line of seven non-active volcanic peaks), the ranch is surrounded by rolling landscapes, picturesque pastures, grassy fields, neighboring cattle ranches, seasonal poppies and glowing sunsets- you just might forget it is located only minutes from downtown SLO, Cal Poly University, gorgeous wineries, numerous restaurants, thriving nightlife, hiking and beaches.

We love animals. We have 4 resident pups (3 French Bulldogs, and a chocolate Lab) that wander the property during the days. We are excited to meet your furry family members as well,  but we do require a few ground rules. Dogs need to be on leashes when not inside the house or contained inside the yard. This is to ensure everyone’s safety. Dogs must be cleaned up after, there is a pooper scooper and garbage can on site. 

Children must be supervised at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Bring coats because SLO’s warm spring and summer days are cooled by coastal evening breezes! There is lots of closet space to keep extra layers.

A beautiful home close to stables with wonderful horses (not noisy) and surrounded by green hills. Kind and accessible hosts, well-thought out and new accessories. We were very comfortable. There’s a fire pit and bbq we couldn’t use because of rain, but I think it would have been fun outside!
