About this property

Quiet, Stand-alone Country Granny Cottage near the Village,

You will check-in to the home via Keypad Deadbolt. As you enter the abode you are greeted by the warm and inviting colors of our Southwest – Native American Heritage motif. This is the large open and airy Living Space with its vaulted ceilings & skylights. There is a 55” LG flat screen TV. Amazon eero mesh Wi-Fi & Charter/Spectrum High Speed 100 mbps Internet. There are also a CD player w/radio, Books, Card games, Couch, Daybed, Chair and ottoman.
On the left is the spacious kitchen and small dinning area that is equipped with almost everything you’ll need to prepare your own culinary delights. 20 cubic foot Refrigerator/Freezer, new Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Coffee and filters, Gas Cook-Top, Electric Oven, new pots & pans and more…. and there’s a ton of storage space for your own delectable goodies.
The Chalet has central heating and programmable thermostat, with ceiling fans in both living-room and bedroom. The large bedroom is decorated in a tropical island theme with its King Size platform bed (Firm) and huge mirrored closet. Open the slider to access the large smi-private patio.
The bathroom has a big shower stall equipped with safety grab bars (no tub). You will also find a hairdryer, soap and shampoo and plenty of clean towels. The large view patio offers sweeping easterly views of our two and a half acre ranchita and Poorman Canyon. Great place to sip wine and enjoy our almost nightly sunsets. There is a small briquette fire feature that may be used when fire restrictions are not in force. All of this within hiking distance of the charming village of Arroyo Grande.
Sleeping Accommodations;
The Chalet is equipped with 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Daybed, and a six foot couch, and can sleep (3)three adult comfortably, (4)four adults in a pinch. Pricing is the same for 1-3 adult guests, however, please inform us of the number of guests that will be booked into the Chalet so we can provide the proper level of amenities.

When booking your reservation please be sure to add names and contact information for all guests in your party, especially if you will be arriving at different times.
The Chalet is part of a three-building compound, the main house, garage/guestroom/sunroom, and the Chalet. Residing on the property, I can be available to accommodate any questions or needs that may arise during your stay, but also far enough away to ensure our mutual privacy. This is not a "party house". We prefer to rent to, responsible, friendly people and open our doors to all!
As Chez Chalet Ritz is “A Work in Progress” we must limit guest access to the Chalet and 2-acre Rachita. The barnyard is temporarily off limits to guests.

Hidden gem
The property was just as it was described and reviewed. It was probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed at. Despite it being close to a main road, by nighttime it was extremely quiet! No traffic noise, no barking dogs. The location was convenient and close to SLO and Pismo Beach. It is well-priced and a perfect place to stay for a short or long trip. Marvin did a beautiful job decorating the unit with Native American touches. The appliances are in excellent condition and the kitchen is well-stocked. If you are looking for a well-priced, quiet, stand alone cottage, this is the place for you!! Don’t miss out!

Super Stay!
The property is exactly as advertised. Clean, compact, and homey. Check in was a breeze due to keyless entry and the code being shared before arrival. The garden was gorgeous! A lovely location to spend a few days. Marvin is a responsive host, he answered all my questions and emails both prior to and during the stay. Close to several beautiful areas and beaches. We saw so much of the countryside and ate at several great restaurants.

Absolutely lovely!
We had a wonderful time at Marvin’s Chalet Ritz. The apartment is full of interesting things to look at and read, and there is a beautiful view out of every window. Everything was clean and tidy, there were plenty of supplies for our extended stay, and Marvin was quick to help us with any needs that came up. We would enjoy another stay there!

Peaceful stay
Perfect size for a couple. Comfortable bed, extremely easy checkin process and communication with our friendly host. My only suggestion would be blackout curtains/blinds and a door for the bathroom. Love having morning coffee in the patio enjoying the view. I’d definitely stay hear again (with an eye mask 😉)

Bliss
The chalet was the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in. I visit my family in this area for two weeks each year, and having a refuge that feels like home is a blessing. Marvin is a wonderful host! He is communicative, thoughtful and always responded when I had questions. The living space was perfect for me, with a full kitchen, comfortable bed and living space that felt like I was in my own home in Northern California. Plus, the chalet was close to where my family lives, which was an added bonus. Being an individual who loves nature, I appreciated the bird life that visited the back garden every morning and evening. Marvin and his wonderful home would be my first choice when I come again next year.

Avila Beach/Hartford pier and whale watching. Numerous golf courses. Lopez Lake and San Luis Obispo are just 10-15 minutes from the Chalet.
