Fantastic location to the wedding venue which was at Riata Ranch. The ranch house was peaceful, clean, and situated in a quiet atmosphere. Enjoyed our stay and Kristin was an excellent host!!
This property is as advertised. It is lovely - very peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfortable and it was an overall fabulous experience. I highly recommend staying here!
We loved this place! The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of seating/ lounging areas to enjoy each other and the beautiful natural surroundings. We started each day with coffee on the covered porch and looking for the wild turkeys and deer. The week we were there it was really hot, but each night we opened the windows and turned the fans on and things cooled right down. We did not do a lot of cooking but it looked like they had all the essentials to make whatever you wanted. Side note - really good wine at Ancient Peaks!
We came back because of the serenity and comforts this place brings! Highly recommend this property. Great owners, beautiful location and everything you need for a great stay!
What a unique and picturesque place to stay. So much better for us than any hotel could have been. Communication was prompt and walking the property was amazing.
We stayed for 2 nights and wish were able to stay longer. So relaxing and beautiful surroundings. We loved to see the deer and horses. Lots of room inside and perfect for our family of 4 and mother in law that was traveling with us. Everything you need is there and it was very clean. We would definitely recommend!!
Love the ranch atmosphere, the home, and all the wild animals that visited the property. Love the large outdoor dining table and the bonfire. Just a terrible vacation at a very reasonable price too!
The perfect retreat for Thanksgiving weekend. The house is well-appointed and has everything. The beds are comfortable as is the rest of the furniture in the home. Super quiet, loads of stars at night. We hiked to the ridge and took in the fabulous view, but mostly we just relaxed inside by the fire or enjoyed the ambiance from the front porch. We would definitely come back.
This place was wonderful. A short walk up the hill to overlook the valley and see some beautiful sunsets. The carriage house was cozy yet very spacious. We had a great time and will be planning a return trip for next year.
Loved staying here. Perfect ranch style stay between slo and Paso. Loved the property. House was cozy and well equipped. Would definitely want to come back! Have friends already asking for the link after seeing all our amazing photos and memories made.
Perfect place for what we needed in an amzing setting that added to our trip. We stsyed there for an adventure bike trip trhpugh the wine country through out the county and up the coast.
The property was very clean, well decorated and felt like a home. The kitchen was fully stocked with what you need to cook and serve meals. The setting was quiet and peaceful and “away from it all” but still a quick drive to SLO, the beach and activities. 10/10 recommend!
We stayed at this lovely ranch house for a wedding, which turned out to be on the same property but down a mile or so. I highly recommend this house versus the overpriced hotels in San Luis Obispo if you’re coming to Santa Margarita for a wedding.
The only sounds on this property was birdsong, and branches moving in the wind. When we weren't outside in the adirondack chairs, we were inside the wonderfully clean, beautifully decorated interior. There was plenty of space for a family or couples retreat, and the kitchen was a dream. We look forward to returning in the near furture.
We were a little unsure about booking the property without any reviews, but the pictures looked great, and it certainly did not disappoint.
Stunning house on a beautiful property. Hanging by the fire and watching the sunset was amazing. The kids were constantly entertained by the surrounding nature. The hosts were so easy to work with, and provided everything we needed for the weekend.
Definitely recommend!
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at the ranch. The house is a cozy cabin style, with very comfy beds, nice linens, and had all the amenities we needed. We loved having meals on the big wood slab dining table on the porch, we could have seated 20! The best part was the quiet, starry nights and the daytime hikes among the quail and native manzanitas. Gorgeous views on the trail that starts behind the house. We will be back!

This is a converted carriage house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite. There is a roomy common room with lots of comfortable seating and a kitchen equipped with just about everything one could want. All equipment and utilities worked well. There are also comfortable chairs outside and a long picnic table and benches. From inside and out there are good views downhill through the trees and across to the tops of the mountains between Pozo Road and 101. The setting is very attractive and quiet. A more restful retreat will be hard to find.
