Pictures don’t do justice to the unforgettable mountain top views of the Pacific Ocean, Seven Sisters (extinct volcanoes), rolling hills, mountains, valleys and flickering lights of San Luis Obispo.
The exceptional 8-acre mountain top property (halfway between SF and LA) has two bedrooms, chef’s kitchen and a large, elegantly appointed bathroom. Indoor areas transition seamlessly into outdoor living and dining spaces through French doors and large windows. The huge 500 square foot private deck provides a comfortable place to read, relax (honor wine & champagne bar) or dine (BBQ equipped) while taking in the commanding views.
Appointed with new premium fixtures, furniture, amenities and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Complimentary onsite electric car (Tesla, etc) charging station. This dedicated vacation rental is professionally cleaned (fresh linens, towels, etc.) and a hotel quality experience awaits your arrival. Accommodates up to six guests, with four being ideal.
The grounds feature complimentary fresh eggs from the chicken coop and seasonal vegetables from our raised beds, gardens, koi pond, "Walter's" tortoise habitat and an incredible vista of wildlife, particularly birds who frequent our feeders and popular roosting tree.
This coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF is a short 15 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, Cal Poly, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!
Vista House is hard to leave once you arrive, with wonderful hikes, incredible natural surroundings and bountiful wildlife. Stock up at the Whole Foods at the bottom of the hill and settle in for a memorable experience!

About Ryan & Anna
Some of our favorite things are our home and friends, preparing meals and enjoying our animals including our rescued golden retrievers Bourbon & Cider (@bourbonandcider), Walter the Tortoise, Chickens, Koi, Ryan's Tropical Fish and Anna's Ball Python.
Our favorite place is Big Sur, we enjoy movies at the Sunset Drive-In in SLO, when friends visit and preparing meals with vegetables from our gardens, local farm stands and farmer's markets.
Our favorite trip was to Italy, where we stayed in VRBO's and got engaged. We realized that less places and longer stays are the best. We like to visit communities and experience authentic people, activities and food.
Our favorite lodging places are Ventana in Big Sur for the spas, the Four Seasons in Palo Alto for the service, The Mayflower in SF for the experience and our friends floors to hang out and save money. :)
We truly love the serenity and views here and are very happy to have the opportunity to share this place with travelers from around the world. We appreciate and do not take for granted that guests chose us, stay with us and like the experience.
Anna enjoys creating artistic things like calligraphy, creating letters, crafts and care packages for friends and family, growing vegetables in her raised beds, hot springs and caring for her chickens.
Ryan likes serving guests, maintaining and improving the vacation rentals everyday, helping others create, plan and execute new ideas, planing trips and getaways and purchasing unnecessary products, services and anything else they sell on Amazon Prime.
We are grateful for the gift of life Ryan received on November 2, 2015 when he was given a heart transplant. We like to spend time together puttering around our home and enjoying our property and the wonderful people who visit us.
Anna & Ryan.

Wonderful and Unique Vacation GetAway!
Anna and Ryan's rental was spectacular in many ways. First the view from the top of the mountain is awesome with a cozy deck and comfortable chairs overlooking the panoramic view below. Stars at night were brilliant. The house itself is tastefully decorated with all types of amenities. We especially enjoyed grinding fresh coffee in the morning (choice of drip or french press) and the fresh eggs from Anna's chicken coupe. The bathroom was huge with lots of counter space and the walk in shower was comparable to the best spas. We also enjoyed the range of choices for music, TV and movies.
Anna is an organic chef and one night she cooked us a delicious dinner using ingredients from her organic garden on the grounds. Excellent and tasty! (There is a small fee for that however). She added a bottle of local wine which we enjoyed as well.
Anna and Ryan were very friendly and hospitable and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. They provided helpful advice to the local wineries in the area and the Farmers market. There's food to feed their two friendly dogs and the koi in the pond.
This is really a unique and quiet location with beautiful vistas. Highly recommended if you want to get away from the crowds and relax but still a reasonable drive to activities in SLO and shopping. Would definitely stay here again!
Amazing!!! Truly one of a kind. Best VRBO experience ever!
Just spent four nights at Vista House. Stunning property with magnificent views. Ryan and Anna could not be more gracious and accommodating. There were fresh eggs from their hens waiting for us on our arrival and Anna brought us a surprise bowl of plums from the property. Although remotely located atop a mountain, the drive back and forth to town wasn't too bad. The daily visits from their two loving golden retrievers, Bourbon and Cider, help us to not miss our dog so much. We cannot wait to return next summer, and the summer after that, and the summer after that....
Exceptional!
What more can be said of our two week stay that many others haven’t already posted – the ever changing panoramic mountain and ocean views; the closer to Heaven sea of clouds on certain days; the luxurious shower room; the comfortable mattress to put you off to dreamland, the fresh eggs from their laying chickens, and their friendly dogs, Bourbon & Cider, who love to play ball for as long as you’re willing.- It’s true, all that and more. My wife and I came to Vista House for the stay, and left savoring the experience. We were not to be disappointed in our quest for relaxation and cooling off from the summer-time heat in Las Vegas. Our hosts, Ryan & Anna were very friendly and accommodating. When staying at Vista House, we encourage you to get to know these lovely people. You will be pleasantly rewarded with their interesting background stories. And, don’t forget to take a peek at Anna’s new dream car: 1971 Corvette. We highly recommend Vista House as your next destination.
Heavenly getaway in the hills
An amazing property from start to finish. Ryan and Anna have a truly superb sense of style and hospitality. They called to welcome us before our arrival as we were travelling to their property to see if there was anything we needed and to say hi. A lovely personal touch we thought. Upon arrival you are just in awe of the views... truly beautiful. The property itself was gorgeous and the bathroom spa shower. WOW! Bourbon and cider their two dogs are a joy even if your not a dog person... (this is from two cat people. ). Probably one of, if not THE best house we have stayed in over all the years of using vrbo. I would recommend thus property to everyone. You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Ryan, Anna, bourbon and cider.
Relaxing Stay
The Vista Home was a very very relaxing getaway. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and since he has been stressing lately, I wanted him to relax in a quiet area. Ryan and Anna's place was the perfect getaway for the both of us. We had such a wonderful time sitting outside just looking at the clouds and mountain. They were so nice to provide us with eggs (thank you!). The shower was amazing (fell in love with the bathroom)!! I didn't want to leave at all. My boyfriend had a meeting the next day so we were both really sad to go. The Vista home was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking. Anna called to check up on us before the check-in time and gave us directions just in case we get lost (A+ customer service). If my boyfriend and I are ever in the area, we would definitely like to stay again. Hopefully next time we can see the dogs!
On Top of the World
It is hard not to just feel at peace and content looking out over the valley and seeing some of the Nine Sister's Volcano range. It is a thrill.
Our first night after driving a long distance to have a meal prepared by Anna was a delicious experience, one we highly recommend you try.
We are traveling with our English Bulldog Maxwell Smart and this was a heavenly place to be with our dog on top of the world.
While you are away from the crowds, it is just a short distance to SLO, Morro Bay and Avila Beach.
The kitchen is light airy and fresh and the bathroom, you will love the shower.
We thank our hosts for letting us be here and allowing our little guy to be with us.

USA Today calls San Luis Obispo 'The Happiest Place on earth'. The coastal retreat half way between LA and SF is ideal - a short 15-minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) or beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Outdoor recreational activities are everywhere!
