SLO County Finest Destination Luxury Ranch Retreat / 8BR / 7b / 20yd lapPool / Tennis

We could not have been more pleased with our stay. We were a group of 5 families with kids aged 4-15, (We are a "cover pod"). There was something for everyone. The location is gorgeous and so relaxing. Susan could not have been a more gracious host. You can take several hikes in the area, go fishing at the pond or just lounge by the pool all day. Our stay has been during COVID so we didn't venture off of the property but honestly we had no need or desire to. We were able to buy some amazing meats from her for our arrival and she also provides (for a cost) the freshest eggs you could ever want. Overall our mini vacation could not have been better. We will absolutely return again! Not soon enough!! Thank you Susan for everything!!

When arriving at the property there was so much to see. The house was fabulous and fully equipped with everything we needed for necessity to fun activities to keep us occupied during our breaks. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the simple touch of carefully selected Christmas decorations made it feel like home. It rained for a couple of days and the sound throughout the house was glorious... Waking up each morning you could see the cattle grazing on the hillside and listening to the moo's back and forth was fascinating. We will definitely come here again hopefully in the spring so we can experience the blooms and other parts of nature.

The description of the property is spot on. However, Susan's warm generous spirit sets this property apart from all others that we have rented. We would highly recommend the CTC Ranch and commend the Cayucos Land Conservency. If it were not for work, we would return in a heart beat.

Short list of the highlights: 12-15 person fire pit for smores' and more, using a "Santa Maria" type grill for the first time and the food tasted fantastic using oak wood, hiking to the fishing pond and watch the kids' excitement of catch and releasing fish with help from a neighbor, late afternoon on the veranda and listening to the cows, feeding chickens and last but not least..the swimming pool. Another insight....the kids did not pick up an ipad for most of the time and played outdoors.

Our whole family from the grandparents to the grand kids had a great time. There was something to do for everyone - from swimming, hot tubing, hiking, games, movies, tennis to boccie ball! It is only a short distance from the ranch to Hearst's Castle, Piedras Blancas and Cambria. Susan is a wonderful host and her thoughtful added touches made the whole experience wonderful!!
