About this property

Luxury home on 400 Acre Ranch

Custom built English Tudor style home located on a 400 acre ranch. This secluded ranch borders Cal Poly State University property and is situated 2.3 miles from Highway 1 on a part paved/ part all-weather gravel road. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 8-10 with a king, 3 queens and 2 twin beds. It has hardwood floors and granite counter tops. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an adjoining sitting area where guests can relax on a couch, enjoy the expansive view and chat with the chef while he or she prepares meals. The library is stocked with an eclectic collection of books. The home has high speed satellite internet access and good cell phone reception. There are 2 SMART TV's connected to a satellite dish which provides premium channel programming. The living room, with its mahogany paneling, leather couches and piano arrayed before an enormous fireplace, is reminiscent of a British gentleman's club or hunting lodge. Outside, the patio and garden have ample seating with both a wood-burning Santa Maria style bbq and conventional propane grill for your outdoor cooking experience. There is an outdoor fire pit is ideal for roasting hotdogs, marshmellos or just sitting around the fire under the stars.

Mike and his wife, Surika, is one of the owners' sons, lives in the stable building located approximately 100 yards downhill from the main house and is available to answer questions or help guests with any problems that may arise during their stay.

Guests are encouraged to bring their hiking boots and binoculars. The ranch is surrounded by rural Cal Poly property with its extensive system of dirt roads on which one can literally bike or hike for miles. For a more adventuresome and secluded experience, guests are welcome to explore the ranch itself which is home to deer, turkeys, coyotes, raptors and other native animals and birds. Those energetic enough to hike to the top of the ridge above the house will be treated to a spectacular view of Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo in the valley below and the Pacific Ocean ten miles distant.

Whether you are visiting this area to sample its world-famous wines and restaurants, to explore its pristine coastline or simply to relax and unwind, you'll be glad you selected the Stenner Creek ranch as your home away from home during your stay.

Relaxing Ranch Retreat
Well appointed rustic ranch retreat with a European flavor. Location is wonderful and quiet on a large ranch tucked away in a valley with wonderful hillside trail at your front door. Great outdoor patio for grilling and sitting by the fire. Kitchen is well equipped. Home is big enough for are party of seven to spread out. Single upstairs bathroom is only downside but more than made up by rest of amenities.

Hidden gem
We picked it for Cal Poly family weekend and bring the dogs without bothering anyone. It was perfect. It is a trek, especially at night since there are no lights and it’s tough to read instructions if you’re driving alone. Lol But, it was perfect… short drive to campus and downtown. We heard and saw coyotes, birds of prey…outdoor set up was great too. Would book again.

Plenty of peace and quiet
Remote location affords a peaceful stay. House was reasonably equipped, including propane grill not mentioned in listing. Not the best sleeping situation for seniors as the only bathroom upstairs is in master bedroom for the 5 beds upstairs. The main downstairs bathroom is also the pass through to the back yard. Works but peculiar. Nevertheless, the rental worked well for our friends gathering.

Loved them house and the property in general.
Unique property and experience. Couldn’t pick a better place for our family getaway. In the middle of no where while being close to the best of SLO at the same time. Will be booking again. Thank you Chuck:)

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Kirschner

Host profile image
Our family has lived in San Luis Obispo since the mid- 1950's and we purchased this ranch in the early 1970's. After retiring from his medical practice, our father built his dream house on the ranch and moved there to raise British White Park Cattle. We have decided to offer the property as a vacation rental because of its unique character and ideal location near the City of SLO.

Why they chose this property

IF YOUR GROUP SIZE EXCEEDS 10, THERE IS A SECOND VACATION RENTAL ON THE RANCH THAT IS RENTED SEPARATELY FROM THE MAIN HOUSE. CHECK IT OUT!
VRBO LISTING NUMBER 1875593.

What makes this property unique

The single most striking aspect of the property is the serenity one experiences while there. The only sounds you're likely to hear are the wind in the oak trees, cawing crows, squawking bluejays, the occasional scream of a hunting red-tail hawk , maybe a coyote in the evening and the distant sound of a train as it makes its way up or down Cuesta Grade. The outside world feels very far away even though, in reality, the City of SLO is just a short five minute drive away.
