About this property

Winery Guest Cottage in San Luis Obispo/Edna Valley Wine Country

This quaint and charming guest cottage occupies one-half of the original farmhouse on the Claiborne & Churchill Winery and Vineyard property. It has been lovingly restored in 2015, with new appliances, flooring and furnishings. Each of the two bedrooms is furnished with a queen-size bed, bed-side tables and lamps. There is (free) WiFi throughout the cottage. The living room features a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, comfortable chairs and a large couch. In the farmhouse kitchen there is a dining table with four chairs, a double sink, and ample cupboard space, as well as a (new) electric range and oven, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. The small but full bathroom has a tub/shower, toilet and sink. There is a small laundry room with a new washer and a new dryer. From the living room and front porch there are sweeping views of vineyard and farm land, rolling hills, and in the distance the foothills of the Los Padres National Forest.

Loved our stay

This was the perfect place to stay for us. We loved having the outdoor spaces, and both the backyard and front yard were wonderful to hang out in and beautifully landscaped. The inside was so cute, and I told my husband multiple times how happy I was we had chosen this place to stay. The beds were so comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely stocked to cook in. I honestly wish we could have stayed longer, and would 100% stay here again if we are in the area.

Enjoyed our stay

The owner was gracious and welcoming. We had everything we needed. Cottage was clean and beds were comfortable. The only negative would be is that it is located near a busy road which can get a little noisy. Everything else was wonderful and we would stay here again.

Relaxing and charming stay

Elizabeth was a top-notch property manager that provided answers and info immediately. She made our stay very enjoyable despite a change in our schedule and goodies waiting for us once we arrived. You need to try their wines at winery. Crisp and delightful like our entire stay! Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your lovely cottage and area with the beautiful access to the outdoors.

Great Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed this sweet cottage and its gorgeous garden. We were close enough to SLO to visit my daughter at Cal Poly, but also in the country able to enjoy the mountain views and night's sky. Elizabeth, Fredericka and Clay were gracious hosts and we were able to celebrate Mothers Day at the vineyard. Yummy wine, great music and an overall wonderful experience.

Wonderful Vineyard Retreat in SLO

I can't say enough about the property, location and hospitality of the owner, Elizabeth. It's a charming property that is extremely well cared for and appointed with everything you could possibly need. Elizabeth is the most welcoming hostess from meeting me at the property to the lovely welcome basket and wine. Sitting on the patio in the evenings and enjoying their Claiborne & Churchill wine (and listening to the live music in the vineyard on Friday) was sublime. So close to Pismo Beach and a short drive to downtown SLO, it's the perfect location. I highly recommend staying in this lovely vineyard cottage on your next trip to SLO!

Wonderful Cottage, Great Host!

Elizabeth's Edna Valley cottage was the perfect home base for our weekend getaway! The location is ideal, close to downtown SLO, beaches, and all the natural beauty the area has to offer. We loved spending evenings in the backyard, grilling and playing games while listening to live music from the nearby Claiborne & Churchill winery. The cottage itself was well-appointed and comfortable, with everything we needed and more. Elizabeth was an exceptional host, offering tons of local recommendations and going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Clay, Fredericka, and Elizabeth Thompson

Host profile image
We are the Thompson family: Clay and Fredericka and (daughter) Elizabeth. We are the owners of Claiborne & Churchill Winery, founded in 1983 and located in the heart of the Edna Valley, just outside the charming town of San Luis Obispo, California. We have remodeled the original farmhouse on the property so that one-half is now a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this area and its wine culture while traveling up the California coast on a business trip, away from our hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Not long after, we left our jobs in Michigan, moved to San Luis Obispo, and began working in the local wine industry, beginning our own small wine production in 1983. In 1990 we were able to purchase our present property, and in 1995 we built a small winery and tasting room using eco-friendly "straw-bale" construction methods.

What makes this property unique

Our guest cottage is an ideal place to relax, wind down, and "wine-down," as we say. It also makes a perfect base from which to explore this beautiful area. A dozen or more wine tasting rooms are within a fifteen minute drive, and the ocean is only five miles away, with sunning, surfing, and beach-combing opportunities. The charming towns of San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande are each within a ten-minute drive, each with its own shopping and cultural amenities. The local restaurant scene offers a variety of quality experiences, from casual to fine dining. Outdoor adventures such as biking the backroads or hiking the local trails are readily available.
