Welcome to the Hillside Retreat! This 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom home can sleep up to 9 and is the perfect location for wine tasting, visiting the beach, or just hanging out with friends and family. We are kid and dog friendly and located a few minutes from the 101 freeway, so it's a great launching pad for anywhere in Central California! Our home is located on a quiet street in a small town called Atascadero. The two story home sits on the side of a hill and was renovated in 2021. You will enter into the living room with a flat screen TV and electric fireplace. The dining table seats 8 and the kitchen has a table with two barstools. We have one bedroom and bathroom downstairs and three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. The sliding door next to the dining table leads to an outdoor deck with a lounge seating area in addition to a giant game of connect four. PLEASE NOTE: Since the home is on the side of a hill, there are 12-14 steps to get to the front door. Unfortunately, the property is not ADA friendly and if it would be difficult for someone in your group to access the front door, we kindly ask that you look for another home that is more flat. BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: 1. Downstairs King Bedroom. There is a full bathroom right next to this bedroom. 2. Upstairs Queen Bedroom. Bedrooms 2&3 share a jack and hill bathroom in between the two rooms. 3. Upstairs Queen Bedroom. Bedrooms 2&3 share a jack and hill bathroom in between the two rooms. 4.

KITCHEN: We have all your basic cooking needs, including utensils, plates, and bowls for adults and children. There is also a toaster, microwave and a Keurig machine with some K cups. Please note that while we do provide all your basic cooking needs, the kitchen is on the smaller side. OUTDOOR: There is an outdoor deck behind the dining table with outdoor seating and a giant connect four game. CHILDREN SAFETY: Please ensure children are carefully watched at all times, especially in the backyard, which is sloped. We are not responsible for any injuries or accidents during your stay. OTHER: Central CA occasionally has PG&E power outages. These outages typically last only 1-2 hours. We will provide you with the same updates we get from PG&E. We appreciate your understanding if this happens during your stay. We have two exterior cameras to ensure the property is safe at all times. One is by the parking area and the other one is by the large deck. Our home is in a residential neighborhood and also has a country feel. You will often see deer roaming the streets and lizards in the front and back yard. Occasionally, the lizards may enter the home when the doors are open. The lizards are harmless and you can scoop them up with a cup and put them outside. In addition, a pest control company services our home every other month, but it is natural for some insects to make it into the home when the doors are open. We appreciate your understanding of this. The guests will have access to the entire house. Please note that we share the bottom part of our driveway with our neighbor. Our house is the grey one on the LEFT side. PETS: We welcome up to two house trained dogs for an additional $125 per dog. We appreciate you keeping an eye on your dogs and kindly ask that they do not jump on the beds and furniture. Dogs should be crated inside the home when owners are out. Damage to the property will incur additional charges. HOUSE RULES:  - QUIET HOURS: The neighborhood Noise Curfew starts at 10pm.
