About this house rental

Relax, recharge and escape to this luxurious retreat experience in paradise.

JAN 25 / FEB 25 : We had an extended stay cancellation and have newly opened nights. We typically operate near full occupancy and hope you'll book so we can share this special place with you.

Best view in SLO (15 minutes to downtown): Pictures don’t do justice to the unforgettable mountain top views of the Pacific Ocean, Seven Sisters (extinct volcanoes), rolling hills, mountains, valleys and flickering lights of San Luis Obispo. You can get to know the property at @visitvista and check out @bourbonandcider (your four legged Golden Retriever Assistant Hosts - we post our adventures daily! :). We are pet friendly.

The exceptional 8-acre mountain top property (halfway between SF and LA) has two bedrooms, chef’s kitchen and a large, elegantly appointed bathroom. Indoor areas transition seamlessly into outdoor living and dining spaces through French doors and large windows. The large 500 square foot private deck provides a comfortable place to read, relax or dine (BBQ equipped) while taking in the commanding views.

Appointed with premium fixtures, furniture, amenities and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Complimentary onsite electric car (Tesla, etc) charging station. This dedicated vacation rental is professionally cleaned (fresh linens, towels, etc.) and a hotel quality experience awaits your arrival. Accommodates up to six guests, with four being ideal.

The grounds feature complimentary fresh eggs from the chicken coop and seasonal vegetables from our raised beds, gardens, koi pond, "Walter's" tortoise habitat and an incredible vista of wildlife, particularly birds and raptors who are at eye level.

We are on the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy. 1). The coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF. Our road (Prefumo Canyon) turns into See Canyon and leads to Avila Beach. There is a short 15 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!

Vista House is hard to leave once you arrive, with wonderful hikes, incredible natural surroundings and bountiful wildlife. Stock up at the Whole Foods, Sprouts or Costco at the bottom of the hill and settle in for a memorable experience!

This place is amazing there are no other words to describe it, beautiful house, scenery and a short drive to many beaches. Host and pups were absolute amazing and kind. The only bad thing about it was I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE. We are already planning our next trip.

We loved the deck views from Vista House, the comfort of the beds, huge rain and hand held shower, the nice kitchen, and the location being close to several activities. Our dogs had plenty of places to walk and check out the chicken coop, the really cool tortoise Walter (that we fed and petted) with bags, scoop, trash easily accessible. Ryan, the host, is upstairs in his unit with his awesome dogs Bourbon and Cider. We enjoyed our time with them all and got great tips like the dog friendly electric boat tour in Morro Bay; the dog beach area near Avila Beach, going to Pismo Beach, and the Harford Pier. Also Farmers Market in SLO which doesn't allow dogs in the market place but we were able to take turns checking out. It was also convenient to have a dog gate for our deck. We have an older dog that likes to roam around. Parking was convenient.Weather was so nice: sunny some days, clouds and foggy mists others, gorgeous clouds rolling in the canyon, and a little chill that was perfect for bundling up and sleeping. Cozy blankets and chaises on the deck plus nice area to eat and another to enjoy the view with a book. We very much enjoyed our 6 nights visit.

We took the kids to get out of the city, do a little wine tasting, and breathe fresh mountain air. The host was gracious and hospitable - our son played with his golden retrievers to his heart’s content. The property was amazing, and not too far from everything, just enough to make you really feel like you got away. We hope to return.

We stayed only one night on our drive down the coast, but an amazing house with memorable sunset views of the entire coast and valley. Great host with clean, airy house and friendly golden retrievers! Highly recommend!
