Honestly, I wish there were 6 stars for this property because this place deserves it. This house really exceeded all of our expectations (which were pretty high, due to the description and the fantastic photos on VRBO). We rented the house for a 10th anniversary celebration with 8 of our closest friends. The house was more than enough room for all of us, and every detail in the house is well thought-out and high quality (2 air mattresses, just about everything you'd ever want in a kitchen, poker chips in the game room, etc.). Almost all of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. The best part of the weekend was all of the time we got to spend outside on the huge dining table and the couch with a firepit. The huge chef's kitchen and outdoor grill area and patio were perfect for having a big cookout on with all of the food we'd bought at the SLO Farmers Market. All of our friends agreed that we would absolutely come back and stay at the ranch house! Would be perfect for smaller family reunions, gatherings of friends, and pre-wedding gatherings.
SLO is really a great area to visit. Besides the Thursday night Farmers Market, downtown SLO is worth visiting for its great restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed Novo, Big Sky Cafe, Scout Coffee, and Sidebar. We also spent a couple of days visiting wineries in Paso Robles (our favorites were Denner, Turley, Adelaida, and Whalebone) and had a fantastic dinner at Artisan Restaurant in downtown Paso. The Montaña de Oro State Park is a 35 minute drive from the house and definitely worth a visit.
