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!

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.

Perfect SLO getaway

The SLO ranch getaway was just fit the bill for my husband and myself. The whole living space was much roomier than I imagined. King size bed comfy, kitchen just right for our breakfasts, outside patio perfect for enjoying the warm weather and clear night skies. Location was great for exploring SLO and its surroundings. I highly recommend this property if you plan to visit SLO.

Cute property at the back of the owners property. The pictures do tell the story. They have thought of everything and included it here. The key things you will need for your stay and some fun things like corn hole, lawn chairs and a few farm animals. Great location between Pismo, Avila and SLO. We will be back!
