Peaceful time

The property and owners were wonderful! The house was beautiful, clean, and plenty of room. We had plenty of amenities, towels, blankets, etc. My children loved the animals, spending time with them, and helping to feed them (a real high light!!) . It was so peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for some quality family time.

We chose the property for the animals, but the house, land was beyond lovely. We lucked out with weather so we could really enjoy the beautiful farm. Perri was an amazing host, letting us know when to come out to feed the animals with her!

Great Place for a Family Get-Together

Ten of us spent two nights here while visiting with each other and with family members who live in the area. The house easily accommodated our entire group and was a nice place to hang out - lots of room both inside and out. Hosts Peri and Jeff were wonderful and very accommodating. We joined them in the feeding of the animals one morning and were treated to fresh eggs from their hens later that day.

Peri- Thank you so much for everything you did to make our stay so special. Your home provided the perfect backdrop for our graduation weekend. The home was so perfectly appointed - it immediately felt like home! The property is just beautiful! The views are stunning and there was nothing our stay lacked.

What an amazing property. All the feel of a 5 star hotel buy yours alone. One of the best getaways we have ever had. Peri and Jeff went above and beyond as hosts. The fresh eggs were a treat. So many relaxing areas inside and out of the property I finished my book and had to get another. And a pool table and popcorn machine! Be still my heart. That was only one of the special touches.

Relaxing stay, great hosts!

Wonderful stay at Zen Farms! We were 4 adults, 2 kids (age 2 and 4), plus two dogs looking for a quiet, large space for the kids to “roam”. Peri and Jeff are overcommunicative, wonderful hosts who had everything prepared for our arrival. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook and bake for the whole family— there is even an instant pot! Peri invited us to help feed and brush the animals (goats, mini horses, ducks, fish, chickens, and pigs!) each morning and afternoon, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.The home is very spacious, with three bedrooms two bathrooms upstairs and a twin room half bath downstairs. The pool table is located in the family room, the farthest from the upstairs bedrooms, so our sleeping kids wouldn’t hear anything. The house is also equipped with multiple gates (for kids or dogs), an extra twin mattress (which we used for one of the kiddos), and a pack n play, and PLENTY of sheets, towels, blankets, and robes. There are also beach chairs, boogie boards, and wetsuits of all sizes (including for kids)— honestly we’ve never stayed in a more well-stocked home.The location is on the Mesa in Arroyo Grande, about 15 min drive from Pismo Beach, 10 min from Oceano, and 20-25 min from SLO. Close enough to everything you need (grocery stores, beach) and far enough from the city that it’s very quiet and you can see all the stars at night. We’ll be back!

Wonderful stay at the farm

We had such a wonderful time at the farm. My granddaughters (6, 8) loved helping to feed the animals, brush them, gather eggs and petting the dog and cat. Peri was wonderful with the girls. She is so patient. The home is beautiful and quite large. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the dishes and pots that we needed. The cool temperatures were lovely in July. There are many places around the home to sit outside and look over their beautiful property. We will visit again.

Wonderful family get-together at Zen Farms!

We had a such a fun family reunion at Zen Farms! It was easy to coordinate and a big property so everyone had room to relax. The house had plenty of room with a pool table, large kitchen for cooking and an outside bbq. The backyard allowed us to set up our cornhole and the kids could run around. Peri was awesome and checked our schedule to make sure the kids could feed the animals with her (which they loved). We will definitely be back next year!

Amazing Farm House

Fun and clean spacious family farm house! Peri was an amazing host! Responded right away and was amazing with the kiddos. She let us know when the feeding time was for the animals which the kids looked forward to everyday to help feed and interact with them. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Beautiful showers and tub! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook. We were here for the weekend for my moms birthday and would def be back. This is def the place for a family vaca. Close to oceano beach ( sand dunes), Pismo beach and San Luis Obispo

Central Coast Grande -- Wonderful getaway

This house is exactly as advertised, with open-yet-comfortable shared spaces, peaceful views, and spacious rooms. Simply a great place for a group to come together for a few days to go to the beach, to go bicycling, golfing, enjoy wineries, or fine eateries (all of which we did!). Thanks to Peri and Jeff who made us feel at home and like pampered guests at the same time.

We LOVED our stay here! The house was absolutely gorgeous, perfectly luxurious while being super cozy and comfortable, and included everything we needed for our 2 families with kids. Peri was so sweet and welcoming, and our kids had such a wonderful time feeding and caring for the animals on the farm alongside our most awesome host. We wished we could’ve stayed longer. By the end of our stay, our 4-year-old stated, “This farmhouse is waaay better than LEGOLAND!”

Great Family Experience

Everything about the listing was accurate. Jeff and Peri were absolutely the best hosts we have had. They were very accommodating and provided a unique experience that my family will cherish, most notably my younger children. They all loved the place that we stayed and keep asking to go back. Aside from the memories that we made, the house itself was exactly as listed. It was clean, spacious, and appropriately decorated. It felt like home. The kitchen had all the necessities, the closets had linens and towels and there was enough fun activities around the place and inside to keep anyone entertained. The location was in a great area too. It felt like you were miles away from everything when in reality you were close to the beach and close to an active social atmosphere around the cities. We had great communication back and forth with anything that we may have needed and that is always welcomed I will be recommending this place to everyone I know, especially if they have children, because it was such a great experience. We are already planning our return trip just for the house.

Arroyo grande house

What a fun place to stay! Big enough for the whole family. Beautiful setting with a mini Orchard, the little farm was a big hit with my five and nine-year-old nieces. The pool room was great. We enjoyed that as well lots of common spaces for socializing and a short walk from our families home in Cypress Ridge. The hosts were amazing, making time to show the kids the animals and we enjoyed socializing in the evening. Can’t recommend this house enough. Probably shouldn’t have written this review cause we might get booked over in the future…

Great place, perfect for families, kids!

We had a wonderful weekend here with our 1 1/2 year old and extended family! Very kid friendly house (our daughter couldn't stop talking about how comfortable the couch was, loved that there were some toys and kids books, relatively child-proofed). Our daughter (and everyone!) loved the farm animals--really a hit! Farm fresh eggs were a great breakfast treat! House is in great condition. Very nice outdoor areas. We would love to have a return trip next year!

The BEST family reunion EVER!

This was a fantastic location for our family reunion! The owner spent hours with the children (age 3-6 years), teaching them about the animals and giving the girls hands-on experience caring for them. The property owner kept in touch via text, letting us know when she would be out with the animals so that we could be sure the girls were around to "help out". It is a beautiful, large home with multiple areas for groups to gather - indoors and out. The kitchen was great for preparing meals for our large group. Parking was just outside the door. Overall, a fantastic location!

About the host

Hosted by Peri Kost

Host profile image
We (Jeff and Peri) enjoy making each guest's experience one to remember, and take care in making each visit tailored to each individual. We welcome any special requests and feel honored to share our spot

Why they chose this property

Peri was born in San Luis Obispo at Sierra Vista hospital when my father was attending Cal Poly. My parents then moved back to Modesto soon after I was born and raised the family there, all the while enjoying many vacations on the central coast growing up. After several years living in the Bay Area, I knew I wanted to move back from where I was born, and we did exactly that in 2002. We are located within minutes to several beaches, lakes, golf courses, wineries, shopping, antiquing, spas, hiking areas, national forests, recreation areas, live theatre, restaurants, and so much more

What makes this property unique

You are minutes away from the beach, hiking, lakes and wineries! It is a country setting, yet luxurious in feel. Spacious open, airy home with the sound of birds, the scent of the ocean and stunning sunsets. Lots of spaces to enjoy inside and out! Wonderful for a romantic get-away, family get-together, retreat or celebration, and so much more....
