I cannot say enough good things about this place! The hosts have thought of everything. Comfortable furniture, super comfy beds, snacks, fresh eggs in the fridge, a gorgeous yard. It was so perfect. Michael was very understanding about a little accident in the house from our dog, which was wholly appreciated. I would 100% love to come back for a visit to this home!

We enjoyed our time in this beautifully decorated home. We especially appreciated the welcoming details upon our arrival as well as all of the included amenities. Coffee, tea, cooking essentials and more. This place was meticulously clean and we loved its historic vibe and decor. We also enjoyed the outdoor space with outdoor file. An excellent location within walking distance to the mission, restaurants and downtown/SLO Farmer’s Market.

Excellent location to explore SLO and work remotely

Such a great little house; conveniently located so we could walk to cute cafes, grab Thai takeout, or walk downtown. The deck in the kitchen had great natural light made which made for a fabulous remote work set-up. Would stay again.

Perfect Stay

This historic house was well maintained and nicely updated. It was in a great location and close enough to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening with a glass of wine. We will definitely stay there again!

Great stay while our daughter checked out Cal Poly. Well appointed, well located historic home only a short walk to downtown. We enjoyed the living room and kitchen but weather kept us inside. Although we ate in, there are some cool restaurants across the street and really good ice cream! Our host even left us snacks, drinks and a half dozen eggs to enjoy. Looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks Michael for the stay and solid communication.

Perfect weekend away

My family and I were in town for the weekend and it was perfect fit! It’s a very charming and historic home within walking distance to downtown with a very cute breakfast spot just a black away. We were out and about enjoying the town most of the day but coming back to this house was super cozy! We would visit again.
