About this property

This is a 5,000 sq ft farmhouse. It was built in 1891 as the local one room schoolhouse, bell tower and all. The home is amazing with tons of character. There are 2 master suites, one with a fireplace and balcony. There are two other small bedrooms. 5 bathrooms total. Family room with smart t.v. , a kids playroom, and a bright, sunny kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A beautiful dining room with a 13ft farm table. A pool, jacuzzi and raised vegetable beds in the backyard. A fuji apple orchard. A large open grass field, for football, volleyball, or running around. We strongly suggest safe swimmers only, as the pool is not fenced in . We do not allow children under ten for this reason unless it is cleared with me . There is a guest house on sight . This houses up to 4 people on the upstairs unit and 2 on the downstairs. You may expand your group and rent these as well . (At times , there are renters in the guest units and grounds may be shared . )Most often you have grounds to yourself, but ask to be sure . We are happy to block the guest units so you have grounds to yourself without other guests . Although, on occasion when Mike and I are not traveling , we stay in the upper guest house and give you utmost privacy . We will have our pooch with us , a 3 yr old Golden Doodle very friendly , so he occasionally will be out in the yard ....if you or your children are afraid or do not like dogs this will not be a fit . Thanks ! Any questions just pls inquire …. Diane & Mike

During Covid we are doing our best to keep it separate, although one night may overlap .
We have a special “ experience “ option you can book , if you’d like to have a date night or a special baby boon , birthday evening or even an engagement. This is a private specialized picnic that is all catered to your needs . Hosted by “Mimis Picnics “ she is for hire with at least one week notice . A beautiful charcuterie board, wine or sparkling waters ... etc etc . Ask Diane if interested . Or Instagram @mimispicnics and message Mimi direct .

50th Birthday Celebration

Our stay was absolute perfection, from the first moment of communication, to the seamless arrival, and our entire stay. The home is completely magical, such a special home, with loads of room to relax, and enjoy. We rented the entire space, and loved the pool, the amazing kitchen, the giant dining table, and all the beautiful eclectic touches in the home. The hosts were easy to communicate with, and were there for any and all of our needs. We will LOVE to come back again, and again!!! Thank you!!

A Lovely Escape

We came for a couple of days to find some quiet and some space. The Schoolhouse was such a cool spot with all of its history plus the pool! Definitely offered quiet and space and was great for our family. Diane and Mike are lovely people who made us feel very welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Puhek

I am a Yoga Instructor, a mom and a wife of 30 years . I love to decorate, cook, read, bake, eat. and go to the movies. My passion, though is traveling, and traveling with my family. We have been fortunate enough to travel the world with our four children who are now ages 30,29,28,22 We have a puppy, Golden Doodle, BEAR , ADORABLE !!!!

Why they chose this property

We lived in this home, and feel it is such a blessing and a unique place to live we want to share it. We love to travel and hope to fill our home with people who appreciate to travel and stay in cozy homey places. Now that all of our children are gone in college and working, we are living in this huge house & wanting to share it.

What makes this property unique

Well, beacuse we live here, sometimes we take it for granted. The frogs lul us to sleep at night, the birds sing all day every day. The micro climate weather is awsome especially when you hear it is socked in and foggy at the coast. The space is nice, privacy and mature trees surround you. The kitchen is open and airy and relaxing to bake in.
The BBQ is next to the pool, and is a perfect set up for entertaining family and friends.Sitting in the warm jaquzzi at night under the stars is one of our families favorite traditions. We have raised beds that grow our kale, broccoli, beets, carrots and we have fuji apple trees....100 of them:)
This home is located in the country on a dirt road. We are about 8 minutes from town, 10 minutes to the closest beaches. We are about 20 minutes to San Luis Obispo. The benefits of this home are that you get the privacy and quiet of the country with no close neighbors, yet not too removed from the village of AG, or Slo town.
