The place is cute, clean, and comfy! I loved the lounge chairs on the patio. Very well equipped, with space for dining, nice couch, good bed. Had a portable AC (which we barely used since the nights are cool even on hot days). Very quiet and private. The only minus is the tiny shower (I'm 5' 5" and it was tight for me). I would definitely stay again!

Relaxing stay!

This is one of the best home away from homes I’ve ever stayed at. I loved the modern farmhouse vibe and the personal touches left for us by our host. I will definitely be staying here again!

A perfect getaway…

This cozy property was just perfect for our first trip to San Luis Obispo. Quiet and secluded, but minutes from downtown and gorgeous beaches/state parks—a gem of a location. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely home in private setting provides relaxing getaway

The house is extremely clean and well stocked with everything you need for a quiet, peaceful, getaway. Location is great, 10 minutes to downtown SLO and Pismo Beach, minutes from Avila Beach. You’ll feel far away and removed, yet close to all the fun activities and excellent cuisine. We’ll be back!

Quail House Stayaway

The place was very clean, cozy, and welcoming. Great light, quiet, out of town. Perfectly located right by a freeway while never noticing it was there. Quick access to Shell Beach, Avila Beach, and SLO. Never took more than 10 min to get to our destination. Superb! Would stay again!

Wonderful property in San Luis Obisbo!

My husband and I enjoyed this property very much! It is in a nice location very close to everything we hoped to see in the area, Pismo, Avila, Cambria, yet away from the crowds for quiet evening wine and dinner and morning coffee on the private patio. The property itself is set up so well as others have noted. It is spotless, organized and comfortable. VRBO owners could take a class from Hillary on her design and her commitment to providing an excellent experience to her guests:) The bedding was comfortable, we slept great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. We loved the patio so much as well as the lovely chickens that came to visit us each day. We hope to visit this area again, we would not hesitate to recommend this property. Thank you Hillary & Family!

Quiet, quaint, and quality. The VRBO was in a very quiet location. No cars or other guests to worry about and no TV. Even though the house is very close to the owners house we only heard them twice for a very short duration. The cottage is very quaint. It’s small but can easily accommodate a couple or small family. It’s very clean and bright. Outdoor seating to enjoy the sound of birds and trees blowing in the breeze. The host was very attended and responded it or need in a timely manor. The house instructions were easy to understand and not overwhelming. The appliances, bed, and furniture all felt like items I would use in my own home. The location is great. You can get to Pismo, Avila, and San Louis in 10 minutes or less. Would definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful property and great location

This beautiful cottage is located near the freeway with quick access to Avila, Pismo Beach and SLO. We had the pleasure of visits from deers and chickens! The drinks, snacks and personalized bottle of wine sure was a nice touch too.

The cutest lil’ California vrbo

We really loved our stay here! We came to town for a wedding at the Madonna inn and spent a lot of time there. We needed a serene space for our small family to relax in and this was absolutely perfect. We kept saying how magical it all was. The weather was perfect, the settings were amazing, the design was so good! I felt like I was right at home.

Refreshing Getaway

This place was so welcoming as you passed through the gates and entered the property and house. All of our senses were satisfied (sound, smell, touch, taste and sight). Loved all the added touches, so close to everything and the weather was in the 60s.

BFF Getaway Weekend

My best friend and I got exactly what we'd hoped for - a quiet retreat together that also had easy access to Cal Poly, where my son goes to school. The Quail House was perfect. Quick to the freeway, yet out of the busy bustle of SLO. The kitchen was well stocked, so we were able to eat most of our meals in. Everything was clean and well appointed, with lots of nice touches. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable king size bed. Nice bathroom, too, although the shower was on the small side - which was okay because we are both small women. Our host, Hillary, was easy to reach when I initially didn't have the access code for the gate. We loved the chickens and roosters. It was a wonderful weekend and we'd definitely come back to stay again.

Lovely ranch setting near SLO

Great property-we had a lovely few days here visiting the central coast. Conveniently located between Avila Beach and SLO. The place was wonderfully decorated and was perfect for relaxing between activities.
