Central Coast Ranch Casita

This modern farm-style ranch house is tucked away on 16 acres in San Luis Obispo on a beautiful working horse ranch. Relax on the front deck and enjoy the quiet sunrise and sunset views, acres of pastures with grazing horses, and the sounds of nature. This newly renovated 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home features vaulted ceilings with an open floor plan, a fully furnished kitchen, and a private fully fenced-in yard. Additionally, there is a private detached fourth bedroom. The yard is perfect to enjoy outdoor BBQs and yard games, or just relax around the fire pit on Adirondack chairs and unwind under the bistro lights and twinkling stars of the crisp central coastal evenings.

Just a short drive down a private dirt road to the home, you'll be greeted by several beautiful horses enjoying the open pastures. During your stay, you may hear the clip-clop of playing hooves or the excited nickering of horses awaiting morning & evening feedings. (Feeding times are approximately 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. for reference.) Horse riding and lessons are not available on-site, but there are other local trail ride experiences we can direct you to.

Our getaway is a unique vacation rental property because of its convenient location to all the amenities of the city, yet the best of quiet country living. With inspiring views of the “Seven Sisters” range (a line of seven non-active volcanic peaks), the ranch is surrounded by rolling landscapes, picturesque pastures, grassy fields, neighboring cattle ranches, seasonal poppies, and glowing sunsets- you just might forget it is located only minutes from downtown SLO, Cal Poly University, gorgeous wineries, numerous restaurants, thriving nightlife, hiking, and beaches.

We love animals. We have 4 resident pups (3 French Bulldogs, and a Chocolate Lab) that wander the property during the days. We are excited to meet your furry family members as well,  but we do require a few ground rules. Dogs need to be on leashes when not inside the house or contained inside the yard. This is to ensure everyone’s safety. Dogs must be cleaned up after, and there is a pooper scooper and garbage can on site. 

Children must be supervised at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Bring coats because SLO’s warm spring and summer days are cooled by coastal evening breezes! There is lots of closet space to keep extra layers. 

For an extra fee: Bring your horses for overnight boarding and haul them out to all our county's amazing trail rides and beach riding (message host for availability and pricing).
