8 Mile House-Experience California Tranquility at this Historical Ranch Home!

Great little house. Plenty of room for a family or 4 couples on vacation. Beautiful kitchen with everything we needed to make breakfast before we ventured out and meals when we returned. The peacocks were a pleasant addition, greeting us every morning and afternoon.Close to the railroad line which was concerning at first. However, we only saw 3 trains during the 5 days we were at the house and they drove by slowly making it more of a quaint experience.We appreciated the host agent reaching out the morning before check-in to make sure we were all set for our stay. I would recommend visiting the Ancient Peaks Winery in Santa Margarita (house owners) for lunch and a tasting. The wines are great.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 8 Mile House was a wonderful respite from the heat and hustle and bustle for our family. While the pictures are beautiful, they don't do the property justice. We especially enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen which gave us plenty of room to spread out and converse while enjoying food and drink. The property owner had thought of many extras, including paper towel, dish soap, tin-foil, and even a generous amount of coffee. There were many dishes, plenty of wine glasses, and the knives were even sharp (we had brought our own just in case)! Other amenities were better than described (not pictured in the Airbnb photos is that there is now a gas BBQ as well as charcoal grill and fire pit). We also appreciated the very well laid out instructions on the wall (there is a digital plaque), which included ideas for attractions/restaurants in the area. Waking up to the peacocks in the morning was something my son especially enjoyed. The porch was a favorite for our family to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. The barn/wine bar was a hit with the adults, as some of us enjoyed going to bed early and others could enjoy themselves with a beverage and conversation, without the risk of disturbing anyone. Overall, we were extremely impressed and hopefully we’ll return soon.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have to state I was shocked at the location. If I had known that there was a home on the property that was like a real junk yard I would have never rented this home. There were 7 of us in total. All of us agreed we would not have choose this place had we known.

Enjoyed wine tasting in the area as well as a great escape room in Santa Margarita. Wonderful accommodations. Clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Nice patio area for grilling and back porch for gathering.

We really enjoyed everything about this property. It is off the 101, and you can hear the highway, but the house and grounds are so special that it wasn’t an issue. Remodeled beautifully for a historic home. Lots of character.

We had a very nice time at this property. There were only two issues that was a concern, First turning off the highway and getting back on the highway was a little concerning. It seemed a little dangerous. The other problem was they advertized a washer and dryer and we were counting on those because there were 8 of us getting ready for our sons wedding. and we had a lot of clothes that needed unwrinkeled. The dryer did not work at all. they said that they ordered a knew one, so they knew it was broke but never metioned it, They did allow us to use the other units dryer but it was very inconvenient , down the way a bit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were blown away by this property. A true gem 8 miles from SLO — it never took us more than 15 minutes to get to town, and yet you're far enough from the city that we were able to watch the shooting stars of the Perseid meteor shower at night. Very clean and organized, with all the amenities you'll need, and then some. More than worth it for a family or group. The road noise is very noticeable when you're sitting outside, but barely audible inside the house.

It was beautiful! The historic home is comfortable and restored with style. Traveling with 3 boys who loved the setting and wanted to stay longer.

Great house & property. Clean, well stocked. A little safety concern getting onto freeway from house & after washing a load of clothes found that the dryer did not work. Otherwise, would stay here again.

Great old house, love the peacocks..... water pressure could be a little higher. The house is well equipped for 8 guests, we will be back.
