July 2026

This property is TRULY a dream!!! Perched up & set back from the Pacific Coast with nobody in sight except small lakes, sand dunes & nature! I have never seen anything like it along the California coast other than Hearst Castle.;-) There are several small cottages on the property that have been updated in their own charming Shabby Chic way that are Super Cute!! WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! This is the perfect place for a family reunion or several friends to gather. Plan and cook your meals, hang around the fire pit and roast marshmallows, enjoy you favorite wines & enjoy the solitude of your own private retreat! NOW… if you’re a beach person that wants to get in the water, there is no access. View only property… beaches are driving distance nearby. Downtown Pismo and SLO are an easy drive should you want beach time or dinner on the town. Wine tours are plentiful in that area as well. Can’t wait to go back someday… to this VERY special place!!

This is a beautiful property with so much space to bring your family and friends! It was so much fun to have all of us stay in different cottages on the property and having so much space to enjoy games! The host family was near by to help with any of our needs and they superseded any and all of our expectations. I would highly recommend this spot for big family and friends groups who love hanging out and enjoying some amazing views!

What a special place this is. Beautiful property and views with a rich history and charming 1920's cottages that have been updated with modern amenities. Ingrid and Bill are also very caring enthusiastic hosts. We look forward to returning each year.
