This property is fabulous. The deck out back with the sunset views was our favorite spot on the entire property. Leslie is a wonderful hostess, was very prompt with communication. We will definitely stay here again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better home and location to celebrate a family birthday. There was great communication from the host throughout our stay. The coastal air, scenic deck, quaint rooms, recreation opportunities, personal touches, warm welcome, and an overall family-friendly home, made for an unforgettable time with many sweet memories.

The house is wonderful with a huge deck and gorgeous view of the lake. We had a great time - very relaxing location but still close to shopping and restaurants. The house is clean with lots of activities and games available. There are lots of birds and even saw a bald eagle land while sitting on the deck. The host is wonderful and very helpful. Would highly recommend!

Leslie was great to work with and she kept us informed about the process. The location was perfect for us; however, the BBQ and Hot Tub were not in great condition. We turned on the BBQ and the grill was so rusty we had to stop cleaning it and use foil to cook our dinner on the first night. We turned on the Hot Tub before anyone got in and it immediately turned white with suds. We only went in the first night because our bathing suits smelled so bad. Other than that, the deck was great and the house had enough beds to accommodate our group.

We had a great stay for a family reunion. The view from the dining room and the large deck is incredible. It is also a birdwatchers paradise. The owner had a pair of binoculars and a local bird guide which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back.

We had a magical time at Leslie’s Lake Home! Our Cal poly friend and family reunion could not have been at a more perfect location central to everything SLO. The best part was the incredible views from the deck of the lake and mountains complete with cattle and horses grazing, where we pretty much spent most of our time relaxing with coffee in the mornings, or watching the glow of the sunset off the lake. Agree with others it’s a birder paradise!

The views are spectacular! The 4-star rating was for a couple omissions I missed in the listing. First, there is no A/C, which from my understanding now is common in this area. You are reliant on cross-ventilation from the windows, which was non-existent in a couple of the rooms. Secondly, the fireplace “room” really isn’t a room, but more of a den open to the kitchen. Finally, the bed upstairs has a taco mattress. Thankfully, one of our guests was unable to come of we would have been up a creek. All in all, we had a lovely stay. My 89-year old Dad loved listening to the geese each morning. I just wish we had known some of these things in advance. Now you do.

I am sorry that you did not have an opportunity to look at the information about the house before you rented it. It is stated clearly that I do not have AC. I have tried to be clear about the 5th bed not being in a bedroom. VRBO automatically calls every room with a bed a “bedroom.”

We had a great stay. We chose the place due to the close proximity of the wedding we attended. The roomy and comfortable home was a plus and the view from the spacious back deck was spectacular! Beautiful and peaceful mornings enjoying that view while relaxing with coffee and breakfast was amazing. We will definitely book this place again. Thank you!

Staying on the lake was magical! We spent most of our time just relaxing on the deck. Ate in for breakfast and dinner. Kitchen great for cooking! Dining room perfect for 8-10 folks. 5 separate sleeping areas - all good beds. Parking in driveway for 3 and street 1-2 more. Leslie reached out to us that week to set up the arrival. All smooth and easy. Ping pong in the garage was well fun too.
