Perfect stay in the beautiful countryside near SLO

Everything was perfect with our stay. The directions were great (including a sign with my name at the turnoff to its long driveway). The cabin was rustic but luxurious with comfortable beds and furniture. Loved the outdoor shower and comfortable back porch where you could lounge all day on chaises listening to the relaxing nearby stream and hummingbirds. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Peaceful retreat

This was such a restful getaway. Our family group was from 3 different areas, and we spent a great deal of our time catching up. When we decided to go out for a beach walk, wine tasting or dinner, Pismo and SLO were close and enjoyable, but walks in the immediate area were lovely, as well. This cozy, lovingly constructed cabin was so comfortable, even the bunkbeds!

Surrounded by natural beauty

The cottage is wonderful! I especially enjoy the back deck. I spent several hours reading while listening to the creek and the birds. Many hummingbirds stopped by the feeder, and I saw some quail as well. There were also deer and wild turkey in the canyon. The sights and sounds are wonderful, and the air is very fresh.

This cabin was perfect for our get alway. We did some sightseeing in the mornings and spent the afternoons relaxing at the cabin. The sounds of the creek lulled me to sleep. We were able to take walks and runs right from the cabin door. We even stayed im and had light dinners - so easy! The outdoor shower was a treat also. Overall, I highly recommend this little cabin in the woods, yet so close to the beach and town!

Great Stay

As all of the other reviews confirm, this was an excellent stay in a wonderful spot, managed by terrific people. Inside the cabin, everything was carefully considered and thought out. Everything one would want was there. Sitting each evening on the patio and watching deer and the neighborhood bobcat pass by was just an extra plus. Quiet, and peaceful, with respectful owners that were attentive, yet never present. Our single regret is that we did not find this earlier during our many previous visits to San Luis Obispo. For sure, we’ll be back.

A little piece of paradise.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this cabin, beautifully nestled between two hills. The garden was a sight to behold, making us feel as if we had discovered a little slice of paradise. Every night, I found solace sleeping in the screened-in porch, serenaded by the gentle sounds of the stream nearby. The cabin's design was aesthetically pleasing, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner, ensuring a memorable stay. Our children had a fantastic time exploring the property and its surroundings, encountering wildlife in a safe and secure environment. The host was exceptionally responsive and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, adding to the overall positive experience. This stay was the epitome of relaxation. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.

The hosts Larry and Linda were beyond gracious. Their level of detail and courtesy were outstanding, and made us feel like we have been best friends for years. They took care of every attention to detail. They were there to greet us when we arrived and making sure everything was to our liking.The home was perfect for our 45th anniversary stay. They had a bottle of wine and freshly baked cookies waiting for us and a celebration balloon. The location and ambience of the home was so relaxing, with a running creek nearby so with the window open at night and the sound of the brook it was like our own slice of heaven. Make sure to check out Larry’s landscape photography in the cabin and in several albums. He is extremely talented.We have stayed at numerous VRBO’s before, and by far this home and especially the hosts were by far the best we have experienced. We would give them 10 stars if we could!

Hidden Gem

Could not ask for a better 1st time hosting experience. Every part of our stay, property and cabin itself exceeded our expectations by far. The owner who were onsite were kind and extremely generous making our stay more memorable. The cabin is right out of a story book, including a stream that runs right behind the screened in back porch. The cabin is spotless and has everything you could possibly need incase you forget to pack something. The bed is so comfortable you will not want to get out of it in the morning. Especially if you have the gas fireplace that faces the bed on. One of my favorite things to do was use the outdoor shower... could not get enough. The location was the cherry on top... everything you could possibly want to do was just a short scenic car ride away... and there is plenty to do. This is a must do if your lucky enough to be reading this....

Perfect!

Everything about this cabin was perfect! The location to everything we wanted to see and do could not have been better for our extended visit to the Central Coast. We were able to make several day trips to our favorite spots yet come back to a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the solitude. The waterfall was a pleasant sound outside the screened in porch and the front porch offered entertainment by the local wildlife! Our hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. Everything we needed was provided. The cabin is well stocked and very comfortable. There were plenty of reading materials and information on the SLO area. One of the highlights of our trip was the rocket launch from Vandenberg. Our host Larry kept us informed of the additional launches during our entire stay! Thanks Larry for all of the launch information. Access to beaches, attractions and small towns was great. The Avila Barn Market and Fat Cat’s Cafe were close and convenient. Pismo Beach, Morro Bay and SLO were just a short drive from the Canyon. And of course there was a nice winery right in the neighborhood! We couldn’t have found a nicer place to “come home to!” I highly recommend the cabin if you enjoy nature and a unique travel experience.
