Elizabeth was a most excellent host. We also very much enjoyed hanging out at the winery. The house itself was well cared for and well equipped and a nice little time capsule.
Adorable little cottage. Elizabeth is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. And you can’t beat the convenience walking right next-door to the winery.
We stayed for 2 nights and had such an amazing time. The property is nice and is convenient for all things SLO and beyond. We enjoyed it and hope to return again!
So glad we happened onto this place, it’s accurately described, the host is 5 stars, the location is central to Pismo and SLO. Everything we could have hoped for and we’ll DEF be back!
This guest cottage was absolutely perfect for my son and me - just what we were looking for, and much more, on our weekend vacation. Awesome location, superb hospitality, fully stocked house that was also super clean and cozy. A very special place - definitely recommending it to family and friends!
We love the wine and love the cottage. This will be where we stay every time we visit. Not only was the wine great, but the family was very welcoming and the cottage was perfect for is.
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.
We had a great stay! The cottage was clean and comfortable. We loved having the patio for morning coffee. Elizabeth is a fantastic host! Oh and having a winery right next door with wonderful wines is really fun!
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.
We came to SLO for a wedding across the street from this vrbo. I did not realize this is a lovely little guest house on an excellent and popular winery. The hosts were so gracious and accommodating when we needed an early check in. We just walked through our backyard to get to the tasting room and large patio with fire pits. We wish we had more time to enjoy the house and premises. When we come back to the area we would want to rent here again. Fredricka and Clay felt like family. They were so friendly and welcoming and sweet. We didn’t get to meet Elizabeth but she was very very responsive via text and also very generous and accommodating!
Easy 5 Star. Clean, well equipped, comfortable beds, good location, easy check in, quiet. We even got to go next door and have a complimentary wine tasting. Great option for anyone staying in the area.
Great stay in wine country in cute cottage tucked away in Edna Valley!
Had a great stay! Visiting daughter at Cal Poly with my sister and took time out for some wine tasting. Cottage is perfect size, clean, and easy to get to. Elizabeth was the perfect host and made everything so easy. We will be back!
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.
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.
Comfortable two bedroom rental with kitchen, living room and a wonderful backyard patio. Ten minutes from SLO and Pismo beach. Worked well for our wedding party evening picnic. Nothing not to enjoy here.
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!
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!
Like a fairy tale cottage…nice sized kitchen for this original homestead built in the 30’s. Private front and back gardens fenced in by white pickets, with roses and hummingbird friendly plants. Very good beds and accommodations!
The cottage is beautifully appointed and so cozy. The kitchen is well stocked for meals at home. The outdoor space is perfect and takes advantage of the beauty of the valley. Elizabeth is a perfect local guide and is so generous with her time and insight to the area. Oh…and the Claiborne & Churchill is literally a stones throw away!
This cottage is right next to the winery with a nice backyard. Kitchen has everything you need. A beautiful gift basket is received on arrival.
Elizabeth is very responsive and provides us lots of information of nearby trails and restaurants.
The location is very convenient, easy drive to every where. We loved their wine and joined the club.

About the host
Hosted by Clay, Fredericka, and Elizabeth Thompson
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.
