Wonderful Home for us and our pups!

We were looking for a quiet get-away over the 4th of July for our dogs who suffer severe anxiety over fireworks. Kristin’s home was perfect! The house was clean, well stocked and comfy. Lots of room to let the dogs play while we relaxed on the front porch or back deck. A bonus was we were able to experience the Santa Margarita Independence Day parade right from the front porch! Fun!

Perfect Getaway for the 4th!

This is our second 4th of July spent at Kristin and Taylor’s home. It’s a perfect home for us and our pups! Plenty of space if we wanted family to join us. Great front porch and backyard! We LOVE watching the neighborhood parade from the front porch. So fun! Indoors has all the necessities…comfy beds, stocked kitchen and games galore!! Great location too! Thanks Kristin for the easy communication! “See” you next year!

Graduation home base

We stayed outside of SLO to avoid the college crowd and were so glad we did! SLO was only 10-15 away, so we could participate in all the graduation activities and then head back to our peaceful getaway to grill at "home" for friends and family. The neighborhood is quaint and inviting. Wine-tasting lunch at Ancient Peaks, coffee on the front porch and a stroll through the neighborhood made for an enjoyable weekend.

Large, comfortable home

This house is well appointed, clean, easy to spend time in, and everyone who first enters the front door says “wow”. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are open, and it’s easy to have a small group mingle, cook, converse, and enjoy. Kristen was very helpful. I would definitely recommend it. Dogs enjoyed the fenced yards.

Beautiful house

The house is spacious and comfy. Everything inside is clean, working and modern. The backyard has several corners to relax. The kids loved it. The master bedroom and bathroom are amazing too. Kristin is really nice and answered our message super quickly and friendly every time. The restaurants around the house are delicious but you can also cook anything you’d like in the kitchen. We’ll come back next time we’re in the area!

Nice looking home in a very quiet neighborhood.Front porch and seating was messy with spiderwebs, dust and dried plant debris.Walking in the door, the first thought is nice and big! Then the smell of Cat urine hits you hard!Smells mostly in the entry area, Primary and the room with the 1/2 bath. Also this back room is in need of flooring and door repair.We had nowhere else to stay so I found air freshener and sprayed often. We were at an event all day and only slept and groomed during our stay.The bottom of the Curtains in the Primary appeared to have Pet urine stains near the floor.The Television did not work in the Primary. The remote looked like it’s never been cleaned.The Television in the Living room had no instructions. The stain on the cabinets throughout the house were very chipped. It felt like a Cheap Motel.Bed sheets looked undone like they had been slept on. Towels need sanitized. Too many dirty throw rugs throughout the house.I don’t enjoy giving this review but we did not expect to pay for this level . 1400 is way too much for a Cat House.Also the house creaked way more than an old house should and what sounded like a Large Beam fell in the attic the last night of our stay.Sadly disappointed, Terry

Perfect!

Incredibly close to Santa Margarita Ranch where we had a race the weekend we came to town. Our toddlers were safe and comfy, with plenty of room to hang inside or outside. We went on long walks through the neighborhood both mornings we were there and the kids loved it! Perfect location, amenities and warm feel for my whole family.
