The Casita was an ideal, serene retreat, exactly what my wife and I wanted. The house was atop a hill, 1.25 miles from the front gate. On the road to the house is a lemon grove, a working farm, and livestock (cattle and goats). The landscape is breathtaking, and the Casita is everything we hoped for and more. It was large, comfortable, and immaculate. The views from the patio were exquisite. Gary and Amber made sure there was a bottle of wine, crackers and cheese, and a bottle of orange juice when we arrived. I had a chance to chat with Gary, and he provided excellent advice about restaurants and wineries. While it seemed that we were in a very rural location, we were only a 15-minute drive from downtown SLO. Gary also gave us a bottle of his own branded wine, which was excellent. Overall, this was a perfect stay except for one cool day with a rain shower. But even the most conscientious VRBO host can’t control the weather. We had a magnificent stay at a wonderful home with the best of hosts. We’d love to return and stay longer. Just terrific in every way.
