Ranch Casita on 16 Acres, Minutes from Downtown SLO-Cal Poly-Beaches-Wineries
This modern farm-style ranch house is tucked away on 16 acres in San Luis Obispo on a beautiful working horse ranch. Relax on the front deck and enjoy the quiet sunrise and sunset views, acres of pastures with grazing horses, and the sounds of nature. This newly renovated 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home features vaulted ceilings with an open floor plan, a fully furnished kitchen, and a private fully fenced-in yard. Additionally, there is a private detached fourth bedroom. The yard is perfect to enjoy outdoor BBQs and yard games, or just relax around the fire pit on Adirondack chairs and unwind under the bistro lights and twinkling stars of the crisp central coastal evenings.
Just a short drive down a private dirt road to the home, you'll be greeted by several beautiful horses enjoying the open pastures. During your stay, you may hear the clip-clop of playing hooves or the excited nickering of horses awaiting morning & evening feedings. (Feeding times are approximately 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. for reference.) Horse riding and lessons are not available on-site, but there are other local trail ride experiences we can direct you to.
Our getaway is a unique vacation rental property because of its convenient location to all the amenities of the city, yet the best of quiet country living. With inspiring views of the “Seven Sisters” range (a line of seven non-active volcanic peaks), the ranch is surrounded by rolling landscapes, picturesque pastures, grassy fields, neighboring cattle ranches, seasonal poppies, and glowing sunsets- you just might forget it is located only minutes from downtown SLO, Cal Poly University, gorgeous wineries, numerous restaurants, thriving nightlife, hiking, and beaches.
We love animals. We have 4 resident pups (3 French Bulldogs, and a Chocolate Lab) that wander the property during the days. We are excited to meet your furry family members as well, but we do require a few ground rules. Dogs need to be on leashes when not inside the house or contained inside the yard. This is to ensure everyone’s safety. Dogs must be cleaned up after, and there is a pooper scooper and garbage can on site.
Children must be supervised at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
Bring coats because SLO’s warm spring and summer days are cooled by coastal evening breezes! There is lots of closet space to keep extra layers.

Everything was perfect! We didn’t use the extra room outside because there were a few people that couldn’t make it . It was a great location and so out of the hub bub of SLO! The beds were super comfortable and we had a great time! Thanks!!!
Wonderful and convenient to Cal Poly. We had 8 people staying and it was more than enough space. Kitchen was fully equipped. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The property and the horses on the property were delightful. For a large group this was perfect.
Lovely house for 2 families dropping off our boys at Cal Poly. Love the ranch feel and how close it is to town. The house is very clean and well furnished and the views are wonderful. And I have to mention the sweet foals in the pasture out front. We loved watching them race around.
This house was great! Exactly as described, super clean, plenty of towels, dishes, etc for our large group. Loved being close to downtown, but felt like we were on a secluded horse ranch. LOVED the horses right next to the house. The hosts were very responsive and super nice to let us checkout late when our flight was delayed. Great experience overall, highly recommend!
Just had my bachelorette party in SLO, couldn’t have asked for a better rental property to house my girl group of 10! The house was clean, as listed, and the perfect distance from downtown. We loved spending time at the house too, its open layout concept was perfect for us to all spend time together in the same room. Would recommend this home to anyone interested in staying in SLO. Hope to come back soon!!
We had the best time!! We have stayed on the property before, it is so special ,magical with those beautiful horses. We love how private and peaceful this property is. Thank you for a wonderful visit.
