About this property

Ranch Casita on 16 Acres, Minutes from Downtown SLO-Cal Poly-Beaches-Wineries

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.

Bedroom 1- Primary Bedroom: Tempur-Pedic King Bed, comfortable and clean bedding- suitable closet with hangers and a luggage rack, Large 55” flat screen smart TV, access to a Full Bathroom with basic hand/dish soap, and fresh towels.

Great Property just outside Cal Poly

We really enjoyed our stay at this unique property just short drive away from the University. Beautiful to wake up to the mountains and beautiful horses. We didn’t get a chance to use the backyard amenities but it looked fun with some games and a fire pit. We had two families and it worked out as a great option. Great modern decor and very clean! Hope to be back!

Amazing experience

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful ranch property! With four adults and our dog, we felt perfectly at home. The surroundings were absolutely stunning, with picturesque views everywhere you look. The horses on the property were a special treat, adding such charm to the entire experience. The home itself was both luxurious and comfortable. The beds were incredibly cozy, providing everyone with restful nights after long days of exploring. The home was spotless and beautifully decorated, really showcasing the unique beauty of the ranch setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a serene, scenic, and comfortable retreat!

Amazing Experience

The location on the horse ranch was so beautiful and the house was newly updated. It’s located close to town as well. The pasture manager was very nice and even offered to let the kids help groom the horses, which we unfortunately didn’t get around to. The house was really comfortable and the enclosed backyard was perfect for the kid and dogs. Thank for letting us stay!

Beautiful views

The property description does not give justice to how amazing the views are in real time. It was so quiet and serene yet close to everything we had on our to do list. Property is clean and kitchen is well equipped. Comfortable bed, spacious back yard with great chairs and cozy fire pit. Loved seeing all the horses especially the field with babies right out from the front porch. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Wow, what an enjoyable stay on a country ranch in S.L.O.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights and days here as a family. S.L.O. is our very enjoyable halfway point between northern and southern California each year for our family vacation. We loved the views and the house was very enjoyable. Nice and quiet at night. Just a great stay for our family of nine (6 adults, 3 children). We took walks several times a day to visit with the friendly horses. We enjoyed talking to the caretakers of the horses, great people. Our oldest granddaughter had all the young horses named by the third day (which she named herself, her favorite being “April”). She could not believe how many horses were there. Place is very well kept. This place has easy access to ocean, town and all fun areas in S.L.O. Thanks for a memorable stay and God Bless you and your ranch. Scott

Country style fun

We loved the horse ranch. I instantly took big deep breaths of relaxation upon our arrival. The house was a perfect space for myself and our family to meet. (2 grandmas, my husband and I and our 8mo old, as well as 3 other adult relatives and 2 dogs!) we had enough space, great rooms and location was close to everything we could need. The house was clean, we were able to do laundry, had dinners with easy use of kitchen supplies. We left laundry there and the homeowners sent the laundry to us free of charge. Great location and space and relaxing all the way

Beautiful stay in San Luis Obispo

Absolutely fantastic place to stay in SLO. We had our family there for a wedding and didn't want to be in a traditional neighborhood house, the privacy here is such a draw, but it's still close to everything. The house is gorgeous and in picturesque setting between the coastal hills. When you walk in it feels warm and inviting and gives a "wow this is nice" feeling. Living room is a great place for a lot of people to congregate and chat. It was very very quiet and so cool and comfortable at night. The surrounding horses were an added bonus! The interior of the house is very new, updated and spotless. We used all the bedrooms and the exterior casita. It was also well stocked with toiletries and paper products, we didn't have to pick up anything! The house has everything you need - including a well stocked kitchen. We didn't cook there, but if had everything. The beds were amazing - super comfortable and they had a lot of extra bedding if the pullout or an extra blanket, etc. is needed. The dining room table is large and great for late night games. The washer/dryer was new (like everything in the home) and convenient. I would definitely stay at this lovely home again, no question. We didn't bring a dog, but the backyard is enclosed if you need to. We couldn't have asked for more - it was absolutely perfect.
