The perfect SLO long weekend!

Cute home with beautiful front and back yards. This place is conveniently located to enjoy downtown SLO, Pismo Beach and Morro Bay. We had our dog with us and he enjoyed playing in the backyard and running around in the school grounds down the street. The neighborhood is friendly and the weather was great. Overall, a very relaxing long weekend.

Comfortable place

Nice place not far from Cal Poly campus. Quiet neighborhood. Great communication with Courtney. No AC, but lots of fans helped. Thanks for hosting us!

Great Location and comfortable home for exploring SLO

This home is extremely comfortable and well stocked with basic amenities. Courtney and Ken are extremely communicative and were very easy to get in touch with. We were showing the area to our niece/cousin who is interested in Cal Poly, and the home was a terrific central location for getting to campus, downtown, Montano de Oro state park, Pismo Beach, and I'm sure other nearby attractions we didn't have the chance to explore. Courtney has a great list of recommendations for local activities I would endorse as well.

We feel so honored to be able to host and this is one of the many reasons why: getting to be home for a few days while people figure out if this is where they will live and learn for college. We're so grateful we got to host you all!

Absolutely Perfect!!

Courtney and Ken - You're home was perfect! It had everything we could need. We loved the photos of your beautiful family. Location is awesome. Close to everything, yet you felt like you were outside the city limits with the beautiful picture window in the front that looked out at the beautiful mountains and park area. Your neighborhood is quiet, and you had the perfect backyard for our Westie, who loved looking and visiting your chickens. You don't need to add or change anything. Thank you so much for sharing . . . Yvonne and Jim

Lovely home close to downtown SLO

Nice decor and amenities, fenced in backyard with string lights, and an easy check in process (except that the instructions in the pdf differed from the listing, which was initially confusing). Great central location in a safe neighborhood, and only a short drive from restaurants downtown. Dog-friendly property too! The upstairs bedroom is a loft, so no door and noise travels easily. The upstairs bathroom has very low ceilings so showering was difficult for an adult of average height. Additionally, the extra cleaning fees seemed steep compared to other properties, so take that into consideration as this will affect your budget. Overall, this home fit our requirements of being close to downtown and open to children/dogs and we had a wonderful stay, however the layout of the home wasn't ideal for containing noise.

Thanksgiving back home

The house and gardens are lovely in the casual style of Joanna Gaines. We felt at home from the moment we stepped inside the bright, comfortable and well appointed interior. The kitchen is full of quality appliances and colorful Le Creuset cookware. It was an excellent choice for cooking Thanksgiving Dinner. There's so much to do in the area - beaches, parks, shopping - but one could be quite happy in this neighborhood with views of the lake and mountains and a nice backyard for the pups to play plus a henhouse where we collected eggs.

Just like home!

The property was better than expected. It had all the amenities of home - good beds, equipped kitchen, and plenty of seating for good conversations. The outdoor patio was much larger than expected and was a nice private courtyard. The chickens were so adorable and didn't bother us at all. The neighborhood is quiet with easy access to everywhere - spent most of our time at Cal Poly and downtown SLO and everything was 10min away. We will stay there again.
