Great little bungalow
Sign on the outside said "bunkhouse" which may overstate the size of the accommodations a smidge, but all the basics here just outside of San Luis Obisbo. Hosts were friendly and everything was there and working for a peaceful weekend. Thanks!

Awesome Stay
What a great experience. My wife and I were in the area for a wedding at a near by property and we found this place which was about 4 miles away. The hosts were awesome, the bungalow was perfect. We weren't there much as we had the wedding and did some wine tasting while we were there. They had everything we needed down to creamer for coffee. We hope to be back soon.

A Cozy Getaway in Wine Country
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely guesthouse. The owner welcomed us the first day to ask if we needed anything. We loved the charm in the interior decor, with many amenities. We could see so many stars at night and loved the peacefulness with calls of Acorn Woodpeckers. Also, close to the cute Arroyo Grande Village with lots of restaurants and shops. We were close to different hiking trails, vineyards, as well as the sand dunes south of Pismo Beach, some for vehicles but others for nature walkers.
We will definitely refer this place to our family and friends.

Nice little cottage
Everything was as advertised—great value. It wasn’t the hosts fault that this was the hottest weekend EVER in Arroyo Grande. The AC didn’t really keep up with the brutal heat. It was especially nice that the tv was big and streamed everything we wanted.

Nice, cute and cozy!
It was excellent! Nice and quiet! Very clean! Hosts were very hospitable! Easy to talk to! Bunkhouse was exactly as described! Our first night there the electricity was off in the whole area but the owners had flashlights and lanterns for us to use! Steve showed my husband how to start the fire pit! We used that until after the lights went back on. Mary gave us goat treats to feed the goats! They went above and beyond! We will be repeat guests!

Great Stay
This was our second stay and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The cottage had everything we needed for our two-day visit. Very clean. Lovely, quiet setting with the hosts nearby if needed. Relaxing to sit outside in the country while still having easy access to restaurants, shopping and services in Arroyo Grande and other Central Coast destinations. Thanks, Steve and Mary!

Quiet, Clean and Charming
Steve and Mary's little cottage is just down the driveway from their main home, located out in the country but very convenient to beaches, wineries and all things Central Coast. Arabian horses are right across the street...they are gorgeous. The best part of this little place (it's very small, but very well organized; perfect for two) is its updated interior (far different from the picture on VRBO which I think should be updated to reflect the very charming interior), the unobtrusive friendliness and helpfulness of its hosts, and the wonderful birdlife (Oh! The quail and hummingbirds!) and wildlife which we enjoyed in the early mornings while having coffee on the little patio. Their two little goats are charming! I highly recommend Steve and Mary's place for a nice little getaway!

Peaceful Stay in the (Wine) Countryside
This guesthouse is completely private and away from the owner's home. This place is well organized and has all you need if you wish to cook. Very quiet countryside area with horses and goats in the neighborhood. The only suggestion I have for this property is to replace the mattress with one having a more firm support - the mattress was too soft and I had to sleep in the middle of the bed. Everything was very clean and an inviting place to stay. I enjoyed my stay at "the Bunkhouse!" Thank you.

Great little get away
The owners of this property put in a great deal of thought into the comfort of their visitors. I can honestly say I have no suggestions to better our stay. It is small, but had everything we needed and had really good storage. Very quiet. Although it is about 25 min to SLO, we would stay there again.

Brief getaway
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage :). It was small but perfectly arranged to accommodate our needs. The outdoor seating area was very relaxing and it was entertaining to sit, listen to the birds and watch the goats nearby :) The hosts were kind and are on site if needed, but also respect their guests privacy. We will definitely be staying again and look forward to another visit!

Charming country cottage
We loved this charming cottage. So many cute touches and thoughtful amenities. We loved the quiet country setting that was still close to everything we wanted to do. Host communication was great. Highly recommend.
We had a great stay. Place was small (3 people are definitely tight), but crammed full of amenities, and on a beautiful property.
Everything was really well thought out, with great linens, really clean, all the kitchen supplies you could ask for. Goats were fun ambiance.
Property is dog friendly, but is not fenced, so just keep that in mind if that matters to your pups. The road it is on is not busy, but still could be an issue.
While a little drive away, Arroyo Grande has a cute downtown with lots of good food and free parking that sits behind the downtown. Easy access to SLO without going out to the freeway. Was a great central location to lots of Central Coast fun.
Hosts were very nice.

Great place and wonderful hosts
The rural setting is quiet and a welcome respite from the highway.The bunkhouse is small but very comfortable and well equipped. It had everything we needed for our stay, including a patio area where we could set up our barbecue. The variety of birds and friendly goats were a welcome addition. However, by far the best thing was the kindness of our hosts, Steve and Mary. They knew exactly what to do when I had an unexpected medical problem - I don't know what we would have done without their help. Great people and a great spot. We strongly recommend it. Becky & Chris

Quick Central Coast Getaway
I took a mini vacation to the Central Coast, wanted peace and quiet, and new places to explore. Steve and Mary's place was just right. Everything you could need- fully stocked kitchen, bathroom with fluffy towels and toiletries on hand in case you forgot anything. The goats were super cute, and I especially enjoyed sitting outside in the morning and evening, enjoying the sun and quiet. Their home is close to everything you might need nearby-- short drive to San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, the SLO airport, Lake Lopez, and numerous vineyards. Also close to nearby hiking-- we visited Montana de Oro State Park, and did a quick hike to Little Falls (near Lake Lopez). As noted by other reviewers, the bed is a bit noisy when moving, and a bit soft. All in all a perfect mid-week getaway, with many indoor and outdoor activities nearby. We'll definitely be back !
