Great experience!

Wonderful little house, perfect location for exploring San Luis Obispo and central California. We enjoyed walking throughout nearby downtown and exploring the numerous (and beautiful) hiking trails and beaches. Hosts were friendly, we felt very welcomed! Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home is a short walking distance to downtown restaurants and activities. The back side to the home borders the San Luis Obisbo creek with lots large trees. The back patio has so much greenery, it's like a jungle. Lots of beach towns to visit near by.

Charming

Charming hosts, charming house, charming location. Very convenient for walking, for nearby beach experiences and downtown activities. Was a gardener’s paradise for someone visiting from the desert. We made SLO our base with day trips to Santa Barbara’s Lotusland, Hearst Castle and the Monterey Aquarium. Thank you Marlie and Rob.

A Great Getaway

This guest house has everything you need for a get-away. I stayed here for a month, working remotely, and my clients even commented on the wonderful outdoor scenery. On my time off I went hiking and checked out the nearby ocean beaches. There is a washer/dryer located conveniently out the side door into their garage. At times, you may hear the neighborhood kids playing with their skateboards, a train whistler or two, but most of the time it is very quiet. The back patio area is energetically pleasing and private. The only drawback was a somewhat loud heater, but I was grateful for the warmth. Marlie and Rob were very attentive and I felt very welcomed in this space. I would definitely stay here again.

SLO

We have been coming to SLO for the last 7 years. We decided to stay "in town" this year and be able to walk to a lot of the shops and restaurants. Parking can be a problem in town. We loved our cute cottage, especially the back yard. So many plants and trees. Lovely setting for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Loved the string of lights around our little patio. The weather was fantastic and we could play tennis, pickle ball, and golf everyday. Plus go to the beach and frequent our favorite coffee shops and restaurants. It was an enjoyable fun and relaxing vacation. Thank you Marlie and Rob.

Home away from Home

This was the perfect place to stay in SLO while I explored the central coast. Very walkable to town and easy to get to beach towns and wine country. Marlie and Rob were the best and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay! I would highly recommend and hope to stay there again!
