Serene Retreat in the Heart of SLO

Our hillside retreat offers breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. Nestled in a peaceful and serene setting, this is more than a getaway—it’s a sanctuary where tranquility and comfort come together. From the moment you arrive, the refreshing atmosphere and calming ambiance invite you to unwind and reconnect with what matters most.

Whether you’re a much-needed vacation with friends and family,  a private yoga and meditation retreat, or planning a romantic escape this property promises an unforgettable experience. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, the home includes a detached one-story private casita (guest suite), providing the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. The casita features its own full bathroom, a queen bed, and a pullout sofa comparable to a full-size bed, making it an ideal private space for couples, extended family, or friends traveling together.

Inside the main house, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen—a chef’s dream with everything you need to prepare meals for your group. The spacious living rooms, located both upstairs and downstairs, offer plenty of room for relaxation and gathering. Families will love the thoughtfully designed baby room, complete with a Pottery Barn full-size crib, rocker and toys, making travel with little ones effortless. With three bedrooms on the first floor and the single-story casita, the home provides ADA-accessible options to ensure comfort for everyone in your group.

Outside, the property continues to delight with an expansive retreat-style lounging area featuring a private, large hot tub. Surrounded by breathtaking views, it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the outdoors.

Situated in San Luis Obispo itself, this home is a rare find. It offers the convenience of being close to the heart of the city while maintaining a secluded and private feel. Perched a third of the way up Bishop Peak, the property boasts stunning vistas, lush greenery, and plenty of privacy, with only a few neighboring homes separated by abundant vegetation.

Imagine waking up to panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Picture yourself sipping your morning coffee as the sunrise paints the sky in hues of gold or enjoying the serene twilight glow in the evening. This property offers not just a place to stay but a visual feast for the senses, making every moment here truly unforgettable.

Staying Cool During Warmer Days

San Luis Obispo is known for its mild, coastal climate, and the home is designed to take advantage of natural airflow and cooler evenings. During occasional heat waves, due to the home’s size, high ceilings, and large windows, the AC is not designed to cool the entire space to very low temperatures during peak afternoon heat. Guests typically find the home most comfortable by running the AC earlier in the day, keeping blinds closed, using ceiling fans, and opening windows in the evening to let in the cooler air.  More tips will be included in your online guidebook.

★☆ PARKING ☆★ 

☀ 2 parking spaces on concrete next to garage
☀ 4 parking spaces on gravel

The place was super clean. They really think about everything. Most places I've stayed the hot tub is on the fritz or smells dirty and hard to operate. This one was very nice. One of the top hits was the leg massager. We will definitely stay again.
