Property was really clean and the area beautiful; saw a fox, rabbits and ground squirrels. We had a little problem with getting in (didn't realize we needed to enter the actual sign for # before the number at the gate but figured it out). We are all seniors....Beds comfy and facilities were very nice for the 3 of us. Only would have liked a little bit more items for those of us who actually cook and clean up (e.g. only one sponge; some items we expected to be there were missing and we had to do a lot of shopping for wrapping, cleanup and storage). We have a feeling that most who stay at the property are there for an "event" and don't stay a full 4 days (and cook). That said, it was really a nice property, very quiet and well kept up, and very convenient to get into San Luis Obispo for shopping and concerts which we attended. Would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend it.

Great location outside of SLO with a wonderful yard for the dog to hang out in. We also loved walking around the property!

We had an amazing vacation.

This property was just magical and so charming. The house was very clean and the grounds well kept. It was nearby the wineries and still close to downtown. The host was incredibly helpful and welcoming. We hope to visit again in the future.

The perfect getaway location

Sarah’s property is amazing! My friends and I had such a nice time, the property is so peaceful and calming, but you are also so close to all of the San Luis Obispo amenities. We even walked to dinner one night! The house itself was so cute and really authentic, we had a great time just hanging out in the backyard and bbqing. Sarah was so easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend a stay at the Flying Caballos Ranch!

A lovely house with everything we needed

We came to this place for a little family vacation and it was perfect! Really clean on arrival and the kitchen had lots of new loo moo my amenities. Even though it’s a retro looking house, there were lots of mod cons. The linen was all super soft - and while we wished we’d brought our own former pillows - everything was really nicely furnished. The location felt quite remote when we drove in, with the payoff being the countryside, but we were actually quite close to town and nearby shops were only a few mins. The only surprise for us was how close the guest house was. With both houses being occupied, we were lucky the couple staying there we’re home much! We had a really lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

Retro Cozy!

My family stayed in the guesthouse for a week long vacation. The setting of this ranch was unbelievable! We had views of large open fields and rolling hills one way, and views of vineyards from the back yard! The weather was perfect and we spent much of our time on the patio or playing games in the yard. The house is charming and comfortable with a slightly retro feel, and

4/10 Poor

Nice setting, but needs work

First off, Krysta, the new innkeeper, is trying very hard to improve things. She was very attentive to our needs - they were many. The kitchen needed a lot of things (provided) and the beds needed mattress pads (provided). We also secured a flashlight from her and liners for drawers and cupboards. The housekeeping is suspect, as the cleanliness was sub-par (for ex., the vacuum cleaner barely worked). We also had to re-wash all dishes and would not use the sponge and scrubber provided. Lamps were dim, so hard to read in the livingroom. Also, this is a dog-friendly place, but the groundskeeper was placing poison around to combat ground squirrels; not a good thing for Fido. It's an ok overnight/weekend place, but we cannot recommend for a longer-term stay. That said, improvements are being made and Krysta's good efforts may make this a more desirable place very soon.

Magical stay at the Water Tower

This review is for the Water Tower property on the Flying Caballos ranch. We enjoyed a special anniversary at the fun and charming Water Tower on the Flying Caballos ranch. (See website.) The unique three-level structure is cozy inside, but has a useful kitchen, comfy bed and top level with vineyard, mountain and ranch views. The finishes and details throughout are of a high and artistic standard, and the place was spotless. It is a perfect retreat for two (or one). Don't be hesitant about the "outdoor" shower, which is sufficiently enclosed and private, and boasts a large rainfall showerhead. Also, don't worry about the nearby airport. We did not find the occasional small and medium-sized airplanes intrusive, and there was no air traffic at night. From Flying Caballos we walked the grounds and even explored the adjoining vineyard. Ten minutes by car is lively and charming downtown SLO. We also must make special thanks to property manager Joleen, who was responsive, friendly and helpful throughout our experience. Thanks!
