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!

Charming guesthouse in Edna Valley

We were absolutely charmed by this small but very well appointed guesthouse. Delightfully decorated and it came with farm fresh eggs in the fridge! It's a rural setting just ten minutes from Arroyo Grande or San Luis Obispo. We look forward to staying there again.

Relaxing getaway

We had a great time staying at Steve & Mary's place and would definitely recommend. They were both very kind and helpful and checked in when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The studio is small but cozy and is stocked with all the amenities. We also enjoyed seeing the goats!

Great location yet feels far away

Great location very peaceful and farm-like yet located near everything - wineries, hikes, beaches. Only critique is that we felt they need a new mattress for the bed - too soft and sinking. Else all was terrific.

Wonderful stay at this lovely Edna Valley cottage

The quiet surroundings with horse ranches and vineyards was just what we needed. The hosts were friendly, available and helpful, leaving some goodies for us in the cottage, including a nice bottle of wine. We appreciate that there are little places like this at such an affordable rate. We also love the little town of Arroyo Grande. People are SO nice and we felt right at home!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
