About this farm stay rental

Situated in San Luis Obispo, this lovely farm stay for $304 per night is a great option for your next break. Our modern farm style ranch house is set within a working horse farm - This newly renovated, 2 bedroom home features vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, a spacious kitchen, and a private fenced-in yard where you can enjoy outdoor BBQ’s, yard games, or just relax relax around the fire pit on Adirondack chairs and unwind under the bistro lights and twinkling stars of the crisp central coastal evenings.   Nestled in a 5 acre working horse farm, you’ll be greeted by a number of beautiful horses on your way to the front door. During your stay, you may hear the clip-clop of playing hooves, or the excited nickering of horses awaiting morning & evening feedings. (Feeding times are approximately 6:30am and 4:00pm for reference.) Horse riding and lessons are not available on site, but there are other local trail ride experiences we can direct you to.

The Ranch Retreat is a fantastic and unusual location for a vacation rental! Four of us (5 including our dog!) thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wandering around the property, meeting the horses and horse people. Being city folk, we know nothing about ranch life, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming, answering our basic questions. We were excited to see the 10-hour old foal in the barn! Lindsay and Ish are super responsive and have really created a lovely home for guests. While it feels so far from anything, it’s a very short drive into San Luis Obispo for dining and shopping and visiting museums etc., and quick to run on over to the coast as well. The Ranch Retreat is a perfect home base for the area. We look forward to returning!

This place was such a great place to stay!! My family really enjoyed seeing all the horses and the ranch retreat was so nice, clean, modern and was perfect for our weekend stay to visit our daughter at Cal Poly. The place is exactly as described…so close to town yet you feel like you’re in the country. Lindsey is a wonderful host. Responsive, accommodating and friendly! Would definitely stay here again and have recommended to my family.

What a beautiful, perfectly located retreat; it was warm, welcoming and serene.We loved being here, it's minutes from Cal Poly where our daughter goes to school, a few minutes from Scouts and downtown. We loved the whole aesthetic, how clean everything was and how comfy the beds were, it was just easy. Lindsey was great with replying quickly and putting my mind at ease when i asked about our dog barking at the horses, we have an anxious doodle. It was very peaceful, we will be back for sure! Thank you Lindsey and Ish, it was an amazing stay.

We had such an excellent time at the Ranch retreat. It was so fun being surrounded by horses and we even got to see a 3 day old foal. The rooms were modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were perfect and we get such great sleep! We brought our dog and he loved the outdoor space behind the cottage. The property has the perfect location-- it feels remote and is so scenic, yet it was an 5 minute, easy drive into town. We had the best time and hope to be able to return soon! Note to future guests: make sure to bring shampoo, bath soap, and any other shower necessities.

Our family was looking forward to our Christmas vacation at Ranch Retreat and our expectations were exceeded! The hosts, Lindsey and Ish, were very welcoming and explained the ranch and local destinations. The Retreat is excellent and well provisioned to make you feel at home. We loved visiting the horses, relaxing around the fire pit and playing outdoor games. It is a short driving distance to nearby trails, dog friendly beaches, and state parks. We want to return to the Retreat.

We spent Thanksgiving here. The house was beautiful and clean inside and the location is central. It was really cool to be able to take morning walks across the property and see all of the horses. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

The place was perfect for our family of five! Super clean and so beautifully decorated. The hosts were very welcoming and kind. Really cool to have horses right outside without a trace of horse scent inside. Close to downtown and Avila beach. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion would be to have body wash in the shower…we had brought shampoo and conditioner but had to make a run for body wash. Other than that, absolutely perfect. Thank you for a wonderful visit!!!!
