A beautiful home to stay for the weekend! Quiet and peaceful time. My children enjoyed the fresh air and my wife loved the farm itself. Great host and close to all amenities. Sandy was the best host anyone could ask for.
The hosts were very welcoming! The home had amazing views, very clean and cozy! Their 3 dogs, goat and cows made even for a better experience as it even felt more like home. The animals were just as welcoming! The home was only 20 min from beach, 15 from town, but far enough out to give you the country experience. Highly recommended
Beautiful, quiet location with great hosts. It was nice to escape our more urban lives for a few days. Beds were especially comfortable and the access to things to do was easy.
My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful stay. The owners were so hospitable and their dogs were so friendly. We loved exploring the property with beautiful views and farm animals. The location was perfect for peace and quiet while still convenient, being just 10-15 minutes from town and Pismo Beach. The guesthouse itself was the perfect size for us. The kitchen was well stocked, and we enjoyed the added benefits of having access to the deck and the gym on the bottom floor. We hope to stay again!
Wonderful property up in the hills of Arroyo Grande. 10 min drive to beach, 5 min drive to cute downtown cafes and delicious restaurants.
Super easy check in process, spacous guest house and bonus space for doggies! My kids and I felt right at home, we will definitely come back!

Wonderful vacation spot.....
A wonderful family friendly accommodation! Everything was perfect! Our children enjoyed the animals and tire swing/tether ball. Thank you for including them in your 4th of July celebration, too! The home is clean with everything you need. Sandy and Gorge are wonderful hosts!
We had a very nice stay at this property. It has a rural feel, with agriculture and small ranches/farms in the area, but it is only a few minutes from the Arroyo Grande village and Hiway 101. We loved the back deck and used it often. The sunsets were awesome. We've stayed in many short-term rentals over the years and can say Sandy is the best communicator of all the owners we've ever dealt with. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Perfect weekend get away with our family. Beach is about a 15 minute drive. House has all the amenities you could possibly need. Full kitchen, coffee pot (with coffee!) The house is very clean and comfortable. Sandy was an awesome host, offering help and assistance with anything we may need. The added treats she left for us was very thoughtful. We'd definitely stay again!

Nice home, quiet location the deck is great for star gazing. How ever if I had known it was a guest house I would not have rented.
We enjoyed staying here but the stairs were a big hindrance to us. It would be nice to have two bathrooms on the upper floor. It’s a cute place except for the stairs. It was nice being in a country setting. Loved the dogs, chickens and goats. The area provided for our dog was nice.

It doesn't get any better!
We were there last August and I'm ashamed that I haven't done this yet.
It just doesn't get any better.
There were 2 couples and we all fell in love with the location, amenities and the joy that the owners' share!
We're getting ready to book again right now - hence my remembering I hadn't rated
See you soon!
Bob is doing even better!
Blessings, Love and Joy,

if you are looking for peace and quiet, look no further, this is it!
We stayed one week at this peaceful, relaxing country cottage. We were residents of Arroyo Grande who sold our home and needed a place to stay while visiting our daughter. The owners, who also live on the property, were very accommodating and helpful. The pictures and description are accurate. We loved having our morning coffee on the deck.Our dog also loved the morning dog get togethers with the laid back country neighboring dogs.We spent most of our time during the day out and about and looked forward to returning to unwind and relax. We know where we are staying when we return to the area ! Conveniently located for sight seeing, day at the beach, wine tasting, or staying put .Would recommend this to my friends and family.

HIDDEN GEM!
I don't even know where to begin. This is one of those places that the pictures do not do it justice!! The property, the house and most of all Sandy, Jorge and their kids were all wonderful. And best of all we were able to bring our little dog Max. Max enjoyed the open space along with the goats and pigs as much as we did. (ps I think the goats and pigs were cleaning than Max) Wine tasting was the first agenda on our list when we planned our trip, but after we got to house everything changed. We ended up relaxing most of the morning on the great porch which overlooked the valley and you could even see the ocean and dunes . We ended up staying in at night and cooking (thanks to my Sister in law) after a trip to the wonderful farmers market in Arroyo Grande. Ok yes we did end up hitting quite a few wineries on our way exploring the beautiful country side. Sandy also told us about a great dog beach we went to on Sunday which we all enjoyed very much. I only wish VRBO had an additional star called Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! So I give this place 6 stars. Thank you again Sandy and Jorge for making our weekend so wonderful. Hope to see you soon! Judy,Craig,Liz & Max
This is a great guest house (upper level) with a beautiful countryside view from the private deck! The kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of towels, etc. It was just the two of us, but sleeps more. The property owner was very easy to reach, but no problems here!
Everything from booking to staying there went so smoothly. The owners were very welcoming and communicated with us daily. The location of the rental was very convenient. It was clean and roomy enough for everyone. I’ll definitely look into returning g here in the future.
Patrick and I were in Edna Valley for my nephew's wedding and all my brothers and sisters and their family were going also. My family is great, but it was nice for Patrick and I to have our own space and still be close enough to join in family gatherings. Sandy (our hostess) was wonderful. She gave us good tips on good wineries to enjoy (Wolff Vineyards was great) and the view from our deck was a wonderful place to unwind with wine and cheese. We enjoyed their friendly dogs, goats, and the daily line up of the chickens outside our door. We would recommend this place for anyone.
Wonderful experience - retreat from the hustle and bustle
Our family had a terrific time and the hosts were so thoughtful and inviting. From the timely communications to the treats for the kids, all our needs were met and then some! We had a grand tour of the property including the chickens and goats. Our little puppy also loved hanging out with the dogs. Thanks for al the recommendations for restaurants and beach. We hope to be back again soon!
Grandson reunited with his daddy after a 13 month deployment.
A truly beautiful experience for our grandson who’s been missing his daddy and first flying went so smoothly. Very grateful and would do this again. Thank you 🙏🏼
