Custom built English Tudor style home located on a 400 acre ranch. This secluded ranch borders Cal Poly State University property and is situated 2.3 miles from Highway 1 on a part paved/ part all-weather gravel road. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 8-10 with a king, 3 queens and 2 twin beds. It has hardwood floors and granite counter tops. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an adjoining sitting area where guests can relax on a couch, enjoy the expansive view and chat with the chef while he or she prepares meals. The library is stocked with an eclectic collection of books. The home has high speed satellite internet access and good cell phone reception. There are 2 SMART TV's connected to a satellite dish which provides premium channel programming. The living room, with its mahogany paneling, leather couches and piano arrayed before an enormous fireplace, is reminiscent of a British gentleman's club or hunting lodge. Outside, the patio and garden have ample seating with both a wood-burning Santa Maria style bbq and conventional propane grill for your outdoor cooking experience. There is an outdoor fire pit is ideal for roasting hotdogs, marshmellos or just sitting around the fire under the stars.

Mike, one of the owners' sons, and his wife, Surika., livesin the stable building located approximately 100 yards downhill from the main house. They are happy to answer questions or help guests with any problems that may arise during their stay.

Guests are encouraged to bring their hiking boots and binoculars. The ranch is surrounded by rural Cal Poly property with its extensive system of dirt roads on which one can literally bike or hike for miles. For a more adventuresome and secluded experience, guests are welcome to explore the ranch itself which is home to deer, turkeys, coyotes, raptors and other native animals and birds. Those energetic enough to hike to the top of the ridge above the house will be treated to a spectacular view of Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo in the valley below and the Pacific Ocean ten miles distant.

Whether you are visiting this area to sample its world-famous wines and restaurants, to explore its pristine coastline or simply to relax and unwind, you'll be glad you selected the Stenner Creek ranch as your home away from home during your stay.

CAVEAT:
The house is located at the end of a 1.5 mile dirt/gravel road. While the road is maintained by the county, it can get bumpy and as such, its not ideally suited for guests with low-clearance vehicles. Guests with such vehicles will need to drive slowly and carefully.
Also, because it is a two story structure with stairs, the house is not well-suited for guests with mobility issues.

    We brought my parents and my adult children and it worked out pretty well. The property is nice and clean, but also a bit dated. The downstairs master off the kitchen was perfect for my parents who are close to 80. The upstairs bedrooms were spacious, but the master bath upstairs was not enough. We had our 4 adult children use the main bath at the bottom of the stairs. There was wood for fires at night, both inside and outside in their lovely yard. It was a comfortable place for a family stay.

    The house is great and very well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. Backyard is great with plenty of seating. House is off the beaten path and gravel road, so just be prepared. It was a great size for our group.

    The property is in a country setting but yet a short drive to town and attractions. You can sit on the lovely outdoor patios and see deer, beautiful hawks,eagles and so many owls in the evening. If you love bird watching it’s a great place. The home is very well taken care of and clean with plenty of room. If you love the outdoors and the quiet of nature this is a great place. We really enjoyed and would stay again.

    Well appointed rustic ranch retreat with a European flavor. Location is wonderful and quiet on a large ranch tucked away in a valley with wonderful hillside trail at your front door. Great outdoor patio for grilling and sitting by the fire. Kitchen is well equipped. Home is big enough for are party of seven to spread out. Single upstairs bathroom is only downside but more than made up by rest of amenities.

    We picked it for Cal Poly family weekend and bring the dogs without bothering anyone. It was perfect. It is a trek, especially at night since there are no lights and it’s tough to read instructions if you’re driving alone. Lol But, it was perfect… short drive to campus and downtown. We heard and saw coyotes, birds of prey…outdoor set up was great too. Would book again.

    Remote location affords a peaceful stay. House was reasonably equipped, including propane grill not mentioned in listing. Not the best sleeping situation for seniors as the only bathroom upstairs is in master bedroom for the 5 beds upstairs. The main downstairs bathroom is also the pass through to the back yard. Works but peculiar. Nevertheless, the rental worked well for our friends gathering.

    Unique property and experience. Couldn’t pick a better place for our family getaway. In the middle of no where while being close to the best of SLO at the same time. Will be booking again. Thank you Chuck:)
