We stayed here when we were dropping my daughter off at Cal Poly. It worked out really well for us. It was nice to be get a break from all of the activity in SLO. The cottage was very clean and quaint and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable.
Good little spot in quaint charming town. Central to Morrison Bay, Cayucos and SLO as well as all the hikes and beaches.

The cottage was very sweet, great location to travel to Pismo or Morrow Bay. There was a binder of information about hikes, restaurants and other attractions to view. Clean with a kitchen if we wanted to cook our own meals. A bar sits across the way with live music. We found a cute bakery and a great spot for breakfast. Overall it was a beautiful stay for our anniversary.

Lovely, cozy cottage with everything a traveler could want. Minutes away by foot from neighborhood laundromat, restaurants, shops and walks on the bay. Beautiful location, quiet, friendly and we'll be back.
This cottage was perfect for our 1 month "work-away" stay!! Clean, comfortable, and cute - and in the middle of the most amazing little community. Us and our pups loved our walks and relaxing on the patio. So much good food and coffee in just a few blocks, too!
