About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Iconic Modern Farmhouse+walkable+views+BBQ

Gorgeous and iconic farmhouse located in the east railroad district of downtown San Luis Obispo. Situated in its own lovely microclimate, this historical gem has a private estate like-setting with a large backyard featuring several fruit trees and grape vines, creekside foliage and its very own windmill.

This meticulously cared for farmhouse has an open floorplan downstairs with living area, kitchen, dining room, laundry room and full bathroom. Up the stairs you`ll find three bedrooms all with queen sized beds and bathroom with shower. The home is fully stocked with all the essentials you`ll need to enjoy your trip. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac just moments to downtown.

Whole house and property

I manage multiple Airbnb`s in the area. I do my best to be available 24/7 for my guests. I can be reached by text, Airbnb message or phone at any time during your stay. I live nearby, so if there is an emergency I can be to the property quickly.

Safe, quiet and family-friendly neighborhood in the east railroad district near French Hospital.

Quick 10-minute walk to downtown- thanks to the pedestrian bridge at the train tracks. 1 mile to Higuera St. Multiple restaurant options nearby.

We are located near the train station and some train noise can be heard at times. Mostly just the train horn and the last train come through no later than 9pm.

Walk, bike, drive, Uber, Lyft... all the ways.

This historic home is 100 years old and comes with the quirks and squeaks you would expect. The yard is not fully fenced so if you are traveling with a pet, please keep that in mind.

A 3% merchant service processing fee will be charged for all cancellations. Airbnb handles all payment matters from bookings made on their platform.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Overall the house was nice and quaint. Loved the bed and bedding. The main drawback was the very loud creaking when turning door knobs and opening the bedroom doors. We also could hear anyone who was walking on the upstairs floors. We were all awakened by the neighbors dog who awoke us 3 times last night. But we did like the overall location.

Charming 1905 house in clean, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to town. PROS: Manager was very responsive and helpful. Master brm and downstairs are air conditioned. Master has large bureau and closet. Good washer/dryer on first floor. 2 lovely seating areas outside. Lots of light. Good grill outside. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Modern kitchen with all amenities, gas stove. CONS: Two very small brms have no A/C and no bureaus, just closets. They have small windows and overhead fan for breeze. Both bathrooms work well but have no surfaces to put things. Four adults (2 couples) made it work fine, but tended to sleep apart including the downstairs couch for different air/temperature needs.

We absolutely loved our stay at the farm house in SLO. The location and property were fabulous. The patio, porch and all the interiors were so inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, but it was nice to know there were restaurants so close if we wanted to eat out. Thank you so much for sharing this special property with us. We would love to return for a future visit.

Quaint and lovely home with some historic roots. Nicely updated. Well stocked with everything we needed to optimize our stay. Would definitely return here. Only suggestion would be some landscape trimming around front and side doors. We had to dodge and duck to get to the doors. Communications super easy and very responsive.

We rented this home for a month and it really felt like a home to us. The house was well supplied with everything we needed and was in a wonderful location. We walked to downtown every day and sat on the porch every night. I really hope we can stay again!

The farmhouse was welcoming & warm. Big kitchen which was well stocked with items for cooking. There was an old heater, but it worked well. The beds were very comfortable. I wouldn’t highly recommend this VRBO. Cynthia

Wish We Could Stay Longer

This house was so comfortable and convenient we wished we were staying longer. Everything was as advertised and include a very comfy living room perfect for football viewing. Check in was easy just use the side entrance and you are in. The beds were very comfortable our only complaint was they are very high and could use a step to get in/out. The town is very walkable and had lots of great restaurant choices. We didn’t have a reservation so our first choice had a long wait. The hostess recommended another Italian restaurant which was absolutely delicious. The evening was cool so we opted sit inside. We were comfortable but missed out on the opportunity to sit on their outdoor heated patio at Buona Tavolo. Would definitely like more time in SLO and this farmhouse.
