This modern Spanish-style ranch house is tucked away on 16 acres in San Luis Obispo on a beautiful working horse ranch. Enjoy the quiet sunrise and sunset views of the rolling peaks, acres of pastures with grazing horses, and the sounds of nature. This newly renovated 6 bedroom / 3 bathroom home features an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling, a fully furnished kitchen, fully fenced front courtyard, and a large private fully fenced-in backyard. The backyard also features a covered patio area perfect for outdoor dining. Enjoy outdoor BBQs, yard games, or just relax around the fire pit on Adirondack chairs and unwind under the bistro lights and twinkling stars of the crisp central coastal evenings.

Just a short drive down a private dirt road to the home, you'll be greeted by several beautiful horses enjoying the open pastures. 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 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. for reference.) Horse riding and lessons are not available on-site, but there are other local trail ride experiences we can direct you to.

Our getaway is a unique vacation rental property because of its convenient location to all the amenities of the city, yet the best of quiet country living. With inspiring views of the “Seven Sisters” range (a line of seven non-active volcanic peaks), the ranch is surrounded by rolling landscapes, picturesque pastures, grassy fields, neighboring cattle ranches, seasonal poppies, and glowing sunsets- you just might forget it is located only minutes from downtown SLO, Cal Poly University, gorgeous wineries, numerous restaurants, thriving nightlife, hiking, and beaches.

We love animals. We have 4 resident pups (3 French Bulldogs, and a Chocolate Lab) that wander the property during the days. We are excited to meet your furry family members as well,  but we do require a few ground rules. Dogs need to be on leashes when not inside the house or contained inside the yard. This is to ensure everyone’s safety. Dogs must be cleaned up after, and there is a pooper scooper and garbage can on site. 

Children must be supervised at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Bring coats because SLO’s warm spring and summer days are cooled by coastal evening breezes! There is lots of closet space to keep extra layers.

    Excellent experience! Everything you would expect from a Super Host. The home was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, super fun game room, the outdoor areas were well done, and all just a short drive from SLO. I highly recommend this place!

    We stayed here over Christmas with a multi-generational family and our dogs, and the house was absolutely perfect for a holiday gathering. The home is comfortable, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of separate spaces so everyone could relax or do their own thing without feeling crowded. The game room was a lifesaver during the unseasonal rains!It’s incredibly well equipped. Everything from the kitchen to the tech felt high quality and easy to use, which made settling in effortless. The amenities really stood out and made the house feel like a true home rather than just a rental. We also appreciated how safe and secure the property felt. Overall, this was an ideal place for a family vacation: cozy yet spacious, functional yet stylish, and well suited for making memories together. We would happily stay here again.

    We loved our stay! The house was well equipped and clean. Pet friendly and kid friendly. We all had fun roasting marshmallows in the fire pit in the back yard. Great place for our family. Only slight drawback was the ants but overall very nice property!

    Such a fantastic stay for a summer family trip. We had three families with multiple generations under one roof for the weekend. The place is in a beautiful farm where the kiddos were excited to see the horses everyday. The backyard is incredible with amazing seating and a fire pit. Overall highly recommend for 3 families with kids. Host was very responsive and provided helpful suggestions to plan for the trip. We will definitely come back again. Avila beach is so close by 18 min drive.

    The house easily accommodated our group of 13 people and the hosts were very responsive to all of our questions. There is a large game room, large backyard where you can BBQ and play corn hole, and two sets of washers and dryers.The house is located in a rural area, but it's just a short 10-minute drive from San Luis Obispo. The location is great for anyone wanting a jumping off point to central coast destinations (Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, Paso Robles are all 20-30 minutes away).

    Super nice open floor plan for our gathering of 14 family members. It was a bit windy in the evenings so we couldn’t take advantage of the back patio like we had hoped. Nice and clean. Loved how close it was to downtown SLO.

    We’ve been having our annual 4th of July reunions in the central Cal area due to having family in both SoCal and the Bay Area. This was our 7th gathering and everyone agreed that it was the best stay! Communication before and during the stay were top notch. We had a little plumbing issue and it was resolved right away. Everything from the location, amenities provided, hosts, and the home itself were unsurpassed. And if you love horses… huge bonus! We will absolutely plan on returning next year! Thank you Lindsey and Ish!!

    This was a magical ranch house for our group. It was private, clean, and had lots of ammenities. We loved the game room and outdoor space with a fire pit.The surrounding area was lovely with epic views. Seeing the horses on our drive up the gravel driveway was a plus. We were so close to Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo but it felt like we were miles away. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well laid out with ample supplies.The living room was spacious with comfy chairs and couches to chill in. It was heaven for our little retreat!

    My friends and I had such a wonderful time at the Ranch Casita last weekend! We went there to celebrate my birthday, and I knew I wanted to spend part of my time hanging out in SLO and part of the time being cozy with my friends at home. The location of this property is SO perfect for that. You're barely 10-15 minutes from downtown, 5ish minutes from the closest grocery store, and far away enough that it still feels like a very private place. The property was absolutely gorgeous too, with a view of the the mountains and the horse ranch. And Lindsey and Ish were very communicative, being available to answer any questions as they came up. I would absolutely come back to stay here :)

    First communication with Lindsey and Ish was accommodating and fast! The house fit our three generation Pre-Thanksgiving get together! Nine adults, 11 kids from 3 - 12 and a three month old. The kitchen handled all our meals, plenty of plates, silverware, and most importantly - coffee cups! We did bring our own roasting pan for the turkey. Plently of light and airy bedrooms for all the grownups. The masterbedroom was perfect our son's family with the new baby. The game room set up kept the kids busy when it rained and when it didn't! The bunk room was a place of pirate ships and caves! Horses! We loved the horses just across the driveway! One granddaughter wants to be an equine vet and the rancher was so kind and accommodating! That being said we did not let the kids run amuck around the horses. Even the sweetest horse will bite or kick if startled or scared. We are very blessed with our children and 12 grandchildren. Our goal is to provide them experiences and joyful memories to carry with them through out their lives. Thank you Lindsey and Ish for providing a wonderful and safe place to create these memories!

    We had a wonderful stay at this charming ranch property! Our group included five adults and three little ones under three, and it was the perfect setup. The highlight for all of us was the opportunity to get up close with the horses; they were calm and let even the toddlers stand just a couple of feet away to admire them—such a treat! The house itself was cozy and well-suited for a group. We got a kick out of the variety of beds, each with different firmness levels, so we all found our “just right” spot to sleep. The beds were very comfortable, and everyone slept well. Though there’s no AC, it wasn’t an issue for us since we stayed in the winter. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of gadgets and cookware, so making meals was easy. And even though it felt remote in the best way—nestled right in the middle of the ranch—we were still close enough to town for any necessities. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful ranch getaway with modern comforts!
