We've stayed here so often that it now feels like "home" when we walk in the door. This year there were some lovely upgrades, like new kitchen and bathroom floors, and fresh paint. We love the semi-rural setting, which allows us to escape the city and watch the animals, hike, and generally relax.

Cutest place ever! So cozy and inviting. Very clean and comfortable. We saw the deer grazing on our way in. On a quiet street, very pretty area. Donna was great to communicate with, very helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Atascadero is a good place to escape Alaska's winter

Comfortable, good location (quick trip to Vons, Trader Joes, Templeton, Paddock Zoo), good neighbors (they had two adorable kittens and several dogs who loved to visit) and interesting scenery.

Very quaint and good location

We loved our stay here. The house was a quaint historic home with all the needed amenities. Our favorite activity was sitting on the front porch in the morning with our coffee watching the local deer gather. Great location for exploring the central coast.

So nice to feel so far away from the hustle and bustle

The furnishings were dated and the yard had lots of leavings from the dog but overall, the space both inside and out was so restful.

Peaceful retreat

This was exactly the place for a peaceful retreat that my husband and I were looking for for our vacation. We could tell when we saw the front porch and rocking chairs that it was made for us. We stayed a week and are happy to be home. We will have fond memories of this cottage for many years to come.
