The furnishings were dated and the yard had lots of leavings from the dog but overall, the space both inside and out was so restful.

This was exactly the place for a peaceful retreat that my husband and I were looking for for our vacation. We could tell when we saw the front porch and rocking chairs that it was made for us. We stayed a week and are happy to be home. We will have fond memories of this cottage for many years to come.

This was a nice and clean property with a classic look. Especially loved the front porch. Wish it was a bit warmer so we could sit out and enjoy it more. Just the luck of the draw. It was located in a nice central area close to the coastal area as well as a plethora of wineries. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive Very easy to work with. Would book again if available and we are in the area.

When we pulled up to the property it was night time and there was no lights on. The next door neighbors dogs were out and charged our car when we got there. Although they turned out to be very nice dogs it was scary as my wife was just a victim of a dog attack a few weeks prior. The space worked out well for the four of us. Bringing an air mattress did help us.

It was affordable, comfortable, with everything we needed for our “home base “while in the area for an event.

The Colony Cottage is delightful. We've stayed multiple times. Excellent hiking, wineries, Morro Bay, Elephant seals above Sant Simeon, Hearst Castle, and so much more are all within easy reach. Deer in the back yard and neighborhood, goats, puppies, everything that we need to feel like we escaped the city are abundant. There were several very hot days, yet the cottage stayed cool without air conditioning. The host, Donna, is attentive to any questions and needs. I can't recommend the cottage enough (except I kind of want to keep it a secret!).

Perfectly Charming
The house is full of charm and history. Truly one of the original houses built here. It really is much nicer than the photos. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It also stayed anazingly cool, even when temperatures were reaching towards the 100 mark.
It is the perfect spot to enjoy hiking from the front door all the way to Harmony, Moro Bay, San Louis Obispo …
We will definitely return!

Cottage was very comfortable and clean, had everything we needed.
The location and cleanliness of the property was excellent. Overall a great experience for us. Minor setback was loss of electricity on the morning of departure, but not a huge issue. We loved the place. Would definitely recommend it.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this little house. It was so cozy and simple. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was a GREAT size. The yard is cute and the neighborhood quiet. Off the beaten path but close to everything we wanted to see!

Donna's cottage is lovely, comfortable, super clean, and exactly as pictured. Even better than pictured, actually! There are some nice touches throughout that really reflected Donna's hospitality and care for the house: from the sweet embroidered bedspreads, bathroom tiles, to the firepit and perfectly practical set of cookware in the kitchen (just like the ones my mom gave me!). We loved our time at this simply perfect home.
Atascadero turned out to be the perfect location for our first trip to the area too : wine country, Paso Robles, Tin City, Morro Bay... everything seems to be within 20 minutes away! So much variety and places to explore no matter what we were in the mood for. And when we were feeling lazy the main strip of Atascadero is close by too for everything we'd want.
Donna herself could not have been more nice and helpful. From helping us with our unique parking needs to responding to questions before and during the trip. Am so glad to have discovered this gem of a cottage and meet Donna! The stay was so lovely we were more than happy to follow the checkout procedures. Thank you Donna and hope we'll get to stay at the cottage again soon !
