Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally located cottage in downtown SLO. The cottage is light and airy, with all the essentials minus the clutter. Bonus points if you find the original 1930’s milk door!

Great location for visiting Cal Poly; walking or biking to our town’s famous Thursday evening Farmer’s Market; or getting away for a long weekend of hiking, mountain biking or wine tasting (all within 10 minutes of the cottage).

The cottage is in close proximity to some great local coffee shops (Field Day and Skippers) and downtown restaurants. Easy bike ride into downtown or a 10 minute walk.

Get a good night’s rest on our new mattresses. Both rooms have blackout curtains and new bedding.

Can ride directly out to Poly Canyon/Stenner Creek mountain bike trails.

The dining area doubles as a work space with a small table and outlets nearby.

We purchased the cottage in 2013 and have been enjoying upgrading it while maintaining some of the original 1930’s charm.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

    Our stay in the cottage was comfortable and convenient for 3 adults. The location is wonderfully quiet while being close to Cal Poly and downtown. Street parking with lots of availability is another plus. Kitchen amenities are a bit limited but we primarily ate out so had no issues. We also appreciated having a later checkout. We would stay here again for our next SLO visit.

    Great location- walk downtown or to Cal Poly. The house had everything we needed. Loved the bonus of fruit trees in the yard! Host was very responsive and gave us recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. Thank you for all- we had a great stay!

    The cottage was perfect for our week’s stay. It’s a beautiful, cozy space and in a fantastic location. We thought it might feel a bit busy being so close to Monterey but it was as quiet as could be. The lemon tree in the backyard was a bonus and I sliced fresh lemon for my water daily. We walked everywhere easily and parking was a non-issue. Amber was the perfect host. Can’t wait to come back!!

    Perfect cottage for my family of four. Easy walk or drive to downtown. Parking on the street was never a problem, there was always room directly in front for both of our cars. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Communication with our host was excellent.

    Great cottage- quiet, safe neighborhood. Convenient location for both CalPoly and downtown. Nice that there was coffee, but would have loved a coffee maker with pods, sweetener and creamer :). Hope to stay here again!

    Our stay was lovely. The cottage is comfortable and has necessities (think coffee k cups, laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, brita water in fridge). We walked everyday to a couple of coffee shops. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. Know that the bathroom is shared between the two bedrooms-not a big deal for us, but required some thought. We would stay again!

    Great place for a short visit. Clean and central. Modest kitchen and tight space but much more relaxing than a hotel. Definitely on the list for next visit.

    Our family of four has stayed at this cute, little cottage for the past several years. The host, Amber, is super conscientious that the place is clean and in good working order, and super responsive. The house itself has everything you need, while remaining uncluttered and peaceful. The beds are comfortable. This is a cozy and convenient home base for exploring SLO and the surrounding area.

    We absolutely loved our stay in this cozy cottage. I was there with my adult daughter and her partner for a friend's wedding and all three of us loved it. It was well stocked with everything we needed, clean, ideally located and I didn't want to leave. After a long drive we were thrilled that it was just an easy walk into town because we did not want to get in the car again. The beds were super comfy with cozy sheets. Every morning, the sun was streaming into the kitchen and living room which made our morning coffee/breakfast time so enjoyable that we wished we didn't have wedding events to rush off to so we could have lingered longer. I would highly recommend booking this place and I have already been sharing the listing with friends!

    We had a great stay at this cute cottage. It was super clean and nicely decorated. It also had everything we needed in the kitchen. My husband and I have sensitive backs, and we both thought that the queen mattress was fantastic. The bathroom is a little bit of a tight fit, but we had no problems. I would definitely stay here again!

    Charming quaint home so close to downtown SLO and Cal Poly. I used the kitchen to cook for my son who’s up there for school and the kitchen was well stocked and clean. The rooms are comfortable and everything was so cute. I will definitely stay there again and again the next several years.

    My family and I loved this cottage. The neighborhood is quiet and it is in walking distance to SLO. The cottage was clean and had ample room for the 4 of us. The kitchen is fully equipped and we loved having a washer and dryer. Our host was very responsive to our questions. We will reserve this cottage again when we return to SLO to visit our family.

    We had a comfortable stay at the Palm Street cottage, which is conveniently within a reasonable walk of downtown SLO. There was some warm times since the portable air conditioner did not reach the back bedroom but we made do with all the fans. Overall a nice stay.
