Escape to Castlebrook Cabin, a private retreat in See Canyon

Welcome to Castlebrook Cabin – Your Tranquil Hideaway in See Canyon

Castlebrook Cabin

Tucked away in the heart of picturesque See Canyon, Castlebrook Cabin beckons families to embrace the simple joys of nature. Here, time slows down, and the rustling leaves become your lullaby.

The Cabin Retreat:

Whispers of the Creek and Rustic Allure: Nestled on a slice of the historic See family homestead, Castlebrook Cabin offers a serene, rural escape where history and tranquility intertwine. Picture yourself by the fireplace, savoring hot cocoa, with the soothing sounds of the creek as your backdrop. The walls echo with tales of yesteryears, and the wooden floors carry the imprints of generations past.

Unique Cabin Features: Consists of a main living area, kitchen alcove, separate tub/shower bath, bunk room with double bunks, front and back porches, and a front patio area with BBQ. It is nestled on the banks of a sessional creek with adjacent private gardens.

Generous Space Inside: Step into a world of natural wood craftsmanship. The open-plan main room boasts a king-sized bed, a cozy dining nook, and a kitchenette. For entertainment, a 50" television awaits, complete with Amazon Fire Stick (including paid subscriptions to Hulu, Amazon Prime & Netflix). Stay as connected as you need to be or simply unplug and unwind.

“Private Gardens: Stroll through the gardens, a tapestry of wildflowers, hidden corners, and sunlit benches. Follow the creek's path, dip your toes in its cool waters, and let the gentle ripples carry your worries away.”

Starry Nights: Lay on the grass, hand in hand, and gaze upward. The constellations tell tales of ancient heroes and whispered promises. The night sky at Castlebrook Cabin is your personal planetarium.

See Canyon Adventures

Beyond the cabin, discover the charm of See Canyon. Wander through nearby apple orchards where the sweet scent of ripe fruit fills the air, or take a peaceful walk along winding country roads as sunlight filters through the trees.

Nearby Delights

San Luis Obispo (15 minutes): A vibrant town known for its history, culture, and farm-to-table dining. Stroll the charming streets, browse local shops, and explore the art scene.

Avila Beach (10 minutes): A coastal treasure where you can dip your toes in the Pacific, kayak along the shore, or simply watch the sunset paint the sky with golden hues.

Pismo Beach (15 minutes): From sandy dunes to breezy kite-flying and oceanfront strolls, Pismo offers a laid-back slice of California’s Central Coast.

At Castlebrook Cabin, moments are measured in laughter, golden sunsets, and the soothing sounds of nature.

Book your stay and let See Canyon’s beauty surround you.

Cozy Cabin

My mother and I loved being surrounded by nature here. This cabin is perfect for a family. It was wonderful to wake up to a variety of birds singing. Great location for star gazing. We will miss the ruby throated humming bird.

The hosts Larry and Linda were beyond gracious. Their level of detail and courtesy were outstanding, and made us feel like we have been best friends for years. They took care of every attention to detail. They were there to greet us when we arrived and making sure everything was to our liking.The home was perfect for our 45th anniversary stay. They had a bottle of wine and freshly baked cookies waiting for us and a celebration balloon. The location and ambience of the home was so relaxing, with a running creek nearby so with the window open at night and the sound of the brook it was like our own slice of heaven. Make sure to check out Larry’s landscape photography in the cabin and in several albums. He is extremely talented.We have stayed at numerous VRBO’s before, and by far this home and especially the hosts were by far the best we have experienced. We would give them 10 stars if we could!

Perfect stay in the beautiful countryside near SLO

Everything was perfect with our stay. The directions were great (including a sign with my name at the turnoff to its long driveway). The cabin was rustic but luxurious with comfortable beds and furniture. Loved the outdoor shower and comfortable back porch where you could lounge all day on chaises listening to the relaxing nearby stream and hummingbirds. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Peaceful retreat

This was such a restful getaway. Our family group was from 3 different areas, and we spent a great deal of our time catching up. When we decided to go out for a beach walk, wine tasting or dinner, Pismo and SLO were close and enjoyable, but walks in the immediate area were lovely, as well. This cozy, lovingly constructed cabin was so comfortable, even the bunkbeds!

When you want to get away

We loved our stay at the cabin. My family and I wanted to get away from the city. This was the perfect place to be away from crowds, see a star filled sky, hear sounds of nature - including a small waterfall. We have already told our friends about this gem. Thank you again to our wonderful hosts!

Honeymoon Cottage

This was a great place for our new son-in-law to get ready for the wedding, and then as a very quiet, lovely spot for a short honeymoon for the bride and groom. They enjoyed the supplies, the quiet, the bees buzzing and the privacy and would like to visit again. Thank you.

Surrounded by natural beauty

The cottage is wonderful! I especially enjoy the back deck. I spent several hours reading while listening to the creek and the birds. Many hummingbirds stopped by the feeder, and I saw some quail as well. There were also deer and wild turkey in the canyon. The sights and sounds are wonderful, and the air is very fresh.

Relaxing and rejuvenating girls weekend

This cabin was perfect for our get alway. We did some sightseeing in the mornings and spent the afternoons relaxing at the cabin. The sounds of the creek lulled me to sleep. We were able to take walks and runs right from the cabin door. We even stayed im and had light dinners - so easy! The outdoor shower was a treat also. Overall, I highly recommend this little cabin in the woods, yet so close to the beach and town!

Great Stay

As all of the other reviews confirm, this was an excellent stay in a wonderful spot, managed by terrific people. Inside the cabin, everything was carefully considered and thought out. Everything one would want was there. Sitting each evening on the patio and watching deer and the neighborhood bobcat pass by was just an extra plus. Quiet, and peaceful, with respectful owners that were attentive, yet never present. Our single regret is that we did not find this earlier during our many previous visits to San Luis Obispo. For sure, we’ll be back.

A little piece of paradise.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this cabin, beautifully nestled between two hills. The garden was a sight to behold, making us feel as if we had discovered a little slice of paradise. Every night, I found solace sleeping in the screened-in porch, serenaded by the gentle sounds of the stream nearby. The cabin's design was aesthetically pleasing, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner, ensuring a memorable stay. Our children had a fantastic time exploring the property and its surroundings, encountering wildlife in a safe and secure environment. The host was exceptionally responsive and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, adding to the overall positive experience. This stay was the epitome of relaxation. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.

Perfect!

Everything about this cabin was perfect! The location to everything we wanted to see and do could not have been better for our extended visit to the Central Coast. We were able to make several day trips to our favorite spots yet come back to a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the solitude. The waterfall was a pleasant sound outside the screened in porch and the front porch offered entertainment by the local wildlife! Our hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. Everything we needed was provided. The cabin is well stocked and very comfortable. There were plenty of reading materials and information on the SLO area. One of the highlights of our trip was the rocket launch from Vandenberg. Our host Larry kept us informed of the additional launches during our entire stay! Thanks Larry for all of the launch information. Access to beaches, attractions and small towns was great. The Avila Barn Market and Fat Cat’s Cafe were close and convenient. Pismo Beach, Morro Bay and SLO were just a short drive from the Canyon. And of course there was a nice winery right in the neighborhood! We couldn’t have found a nicer place to “come home to!” I highly recommend the cabin if you enjoy nature and a unique travel experience.

Hidden Gem

Could not ask for a better 1st time hosting experience. Every part of our stay, property and cabin itself exceeded our expectations by far. The owner who were onsite were kind and extremely generous making our stay more memorable. The cabin is right out of a story book, including a stream that runs right behind the screened in back porch. The cabin is spotless and has everything you could possibly need incase you forget to pack something. The bed is so comfortable you will not want to get out of it in the morning. Especially if you have the gas fireplace that faces the bed on. One of my favorite things to do was use the outdoor shower... could not get enough. The location was the cherry on top... everything you could possibly want to do was just a short scenic car ride away... and there is plenty to do. This is a must do if your lucky enough to be reading this....

A Stunning and Relaxing Cabin Retreat

I booked this cabin for my sister and I to stay while celebrating my 50th birthday. We both needing some much needed peace and relaxation which is exactly what we got on our short weekend stay. The owners, Larry and Linda were very easy to communicate with giving as much detail and heartwarming welcomeness. From the moment we walking onto the property we were in awe of it’s natural beauty, both on site and within the surrounding area. The cabin is so well built with every amenity needed for a weekend stay. The kitchenette served its purpose well, allowing for the majority of our meals to be cooked rather than eating out. There was plenty of dishes, cookeware and coffee. There was even a beautiful bowl of apples and plenty of bottled water waiting for us. The temperature was comfortable, as was the bedding, towls and water pressure. The wifi worked perfectly as well. My favorite spots were: the front porch to drink my morning coffee and rock to the sound of the birds chirping and bees buzzing. The purple wisteria was so fragrant..and the back enclosed patio which looked out to mature shade trees and running spring. The sound of the water, the relaxing on the lounge chairs was complete zen. We wished we could have stayed longer but alas we had to return to the real world. I hope to make another trip back in the near future. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness!!
