Cottontail Creek Ranch started a land conservation fund as of July 1, 2009, whereby guests will be asked to make a charitable donation to the fund in the amount of at least 2% of the rental rate. Cottontail Creek Ranch guests have overwhelmingly exclaimed at their enjoyment of the wide open spaces and working agricultural landscapes during their visits and hope the area will retain this magical quality for their return visits. The creation of this fund gives our guests and others an ongoing opportunity to be part of conserving the natural beauty of the area. A directed giving fund has been established with the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation whereby guests make their donations to a specific earmarked fund called the SLO County Tourism Land Conservation Fund. In turn, the Community Foundation will make grants as directed by Roger and Susan Lyon to non-profit land trusts or public agencies for land conservation projects in San Luis Obispo County. Initially, planned grant recipients from the fund are the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County, the California Rangeland Trust, the American Land Conservancy and the Cayucos Land Conservancy. Each of these land trusts has a proven track record in this County.

Why 2%
2% was the most obvious number because guests staying in all of SLO county except for this north rural area are charged in addition to the 10.5% Bed tax, a 2% BID (Business Improvement District assessment for marketing).

    Absolutely perfect property. Host goes FAR beyond what is expected. They had the table set for Thanksgiving when we arrived, brought us avocados, oranges and persimmons:) AND were just really nice. Kitchen is the best equipped kitchen we have ever had in a VRBO. We enjoyed the fire pit every night with plenty of wood provided by our host. We have recommended this beautiful ranch home to close friends and will absolutely try to use it again.

    Our extended family (11 adults, 8 kids) gathered at Cottontail Creek Ranch for a week-long reunion in August. The location is spectacular, tucked up in a canyon with sweeping views of the hills. The weather was fabulous (especially for heat-weary travelers from all around the country)--sunny during the day, but not hot, and cooling off overnight with the ocean breeze. The home was great for our group, with enough bedrooms and bathrooms that families didn't have to share. And an open living space that allowed all to be part of the festivities but also offered nooks and crannies for those who wanted alone time. Susan was wonderful host, paying attention to every little detail to make our stay enjoyable. Fresh oranges and avocados (in season), rides to the pond for those who couldn't hike, attentive to our needs for the pool temperature or other activities. It was a very memorable reunion and we very much hope to be back again in the future!

    The Cottontail Creek Ranch was everything it advertised. From the beautiful surroundings, to the comfort of the home and spaciousness of the rooms the entire family have a great time. Pool, tennis courts, basketball court and even a tether all set -up there was something for everyone. The hostess was wonderful, always available to answer any questions and was extremely helpful in finding things for us to do.

    This home was perfect for our party of 16 (6 children and 10 adults). The views of the countryside and ranch were amazing. We enjoyed a little hiking in between the rain showers. Even with a full schedule of events planned in Morro Bay and Cambria, we had the luxury of having a place to come together as a family under one roof. The grandchildren loved the lofts and the space to play in, as well as listening to the frogs croaking in the creek and the rooster crowing. The adults appreciated their own rooms with private baths and the amenities of home. Thank you to the host, Susan, for welcoming us with fresh oranges and avocados along with the beautifully set dining table for our family.

    Cottontail Creek was the best stay ever! We are a group of 14 70+ year old women who have been getting together for a week each year for over 20 years. From the first sighting of the property to the final day there, we had an amazing time. Everything was so clean and fresh. Susan even had the table set for our birthday dinner! We spent a glorious week enjoying the vast grounds and the heated pool. It was an incredible time and we plan to come back in April to enjoy the Spring.

    After months of trying to arrange a family reunion, we found this listing, and it rose to the occasion! For kids, adults, grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins.. etc. this amazing property kept everyone engaged! Kitchen cooking for a large group, pool time, tennis and pickle ball, easy beach access, wonderful hiking trails to watch the sunset, and the peaceful mornings as the sun rose to greet us was spectacular. Susan was a wonderful host and always open to providing local insight and ways to experience this huge piece of property. We had a ball and hope to return!

    There is so much history, rustic charm and wonder to this place. After playing in the playroom, the tennis courts, swimming in the pool and tossing the bocce balls around, our grandkids (ages 1-5) fell into bed with exhaustion each night. We had some truly amazing family time at the Ranch. While it's quite an investment to stay there, we loved every minute. Susan was attentive and clear on all fronts. Great host.
