A perfect place for small gatherings, with hiking trails, views and creek.
This beautiful, spanish-style, ranch home was originally built by Ernie Ball; of Ernie Ball Guitars, as a personal retreat in the heart of Edna valley. Nestled among the rolling hills, you will enjoy the winding creek, beautiful sycamore and oak trees scattered around the property, as the breathtaking views from the hilltops surrounding the house.

Why David Schinkel chose Central Coast
If you are seeking peace and quiet, you just found it!
If you are interested in a small gathering, the ranch is ideal. The event prices is $5000. That includes housing for up to 10 people on the property.
Nestled in the midst of wine country, with only a short drive to downtown SLO. It is our hope that you would enjoy a truly exclusive opportunity to visit the Central Coast.
What makes this estate unique
I love driving through the vineyard, onto the open cattle range. Sometimes you see adorable calves roaming about, other times it may be deer wandering through. There is a creek that winds in between large, beautiful sycamore and oak trees. With wandering limbs; some down to the ground, these trees make a beautiful backdrop for pictures..
There is a baby grand piano, just provide the piano player. There is a pool table in the loft, and a ping pong table in the garage. There a numerous games for your family and friends to play.
You will have complete privacy on the ranch. The open range mile and a half, dead end, dirt road discourages sightseers. Also our road was tagged as one of the prettiest roads to walk in SLO.
On top of the hills of the Ernie Ball ranch, the views are incredible!!!
Come make some lifetime memories of your own!.

Wonderful!

Peace at last!
I admit I was hesitant to stay here at first, my wife’s standards can be pretty lofty and a “country house” is quite a stretch from usual concierge level five star places she prefers. We decided to escape the large crowds in favor of a smaller “family only” Thanksgiving with our newborn grandkids. If you want to find tranquility in a spacious and idyllic setting, this is it. Though minutes from nearby vineyards (insert wine tasting here) and shopping, you will feel like you’re a 1000 miles from civilization. The 1.8 mile drive to the house (mostly along a well maintained dirt/gravel road) takes you away from the sounds of city life and is replaced with the sounds of mooing cows and screeching hawks that are the size of turkeys. Welcome to horse country! The expansive fireplace and abundance of firewood makes for a delightful setting that will calm the most frayed of nerves. Clean and comfortable, you will not be disappointed in this remote hideaway nested in the rolling hills of SLO. There is ample parking (including covered parking in the rear and garage areas), a ping pong table and billiard table. We never got around to using the Jacuzzi or large stone tub…maybe next time. If like me you are a stress case and simply want to decompress and rest…this place will fit the bill nicely. I slept great…and often. Go enjoy yourself, relax and escape the madness of everyday life. This is your getaway place.
Lovely home, quiet, country setting.
Lovely home tucked away in the rolling hills. Surrounded by oak trees. Small stream runs through the property. Set off the main road accessible via dirt road. Close to wineries and short drive to downtown SLO. We drove up from OC to stay here with family and to attend a wedding nearby. There's plenty of space and amenities. Ice maker in freezer not functioning but with grocery store a few miles away, buying ice (or any other groceries)was not a problem. The large kitchen was great for meal prep and cooking. Outdoor seating areas are plentiful and comfortable and makes it easy to enjoy the beautiful grounds. Lovely space for a retreat away from any crowds.
Awesome way to get away
The stay was great. it was a perfect way to relax and get away from the city for a little while.
Awesome Property!
The reason for four stars and not five is that our reservation happened to land on a record-breaking heat wave weekend where we saw temperatures of 106 in SLO. The house does not have any fans or A/C so we had to bare through the hot house. Ceiling fans would have provided good relief, especially for sleeping. However, I am a local and realize that this temperature is extremely rare for SLO, so I couldn't even be mad at the situation (not like we could predict the weather at time of booking).
House is very nice and clean. Great lawn space for games. Great front patio for dining. Windows do not have screens, so you may get some flies and bugs if you leave them open. I would recommend this place on any other weekend in SLO when temperatures are normal. Check-out instructions are very clear and easy.
Great Place
It was such a nice home, very peaceful location and quite. Check in was super easy and everything worked out great!! Would recommend
Best VRBO to date!!!
We chose this location for our girls weekend of wine tasting and attending the Mid-State fair this last July and couldn't have chosen a better place. The pictures do not do this property justice! We spent much needed relaxing time enjoying the surroundings and having wonderful meals on the patio. This location is so close to downtown and many of the local wineries, as well as only 15min from pismo beach! Karen and David were so accommodating and helpful before our stay :) Will definitely stay again!
Map
