Charming Cottage - Conveniently located to Cal Poly and Downtown SLO

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally located cottage in downtown SLO. The cottage is light and airy, with all the essentials minus the clutter. Bonus points if you find the original 1930’s milk door!

Great location for visiting Cal Poly; walking or biking to our town’s famous Thursday evening Farmer’s Market; or getting away for a long weekend of hiking, mountain biking or wine tasting (all within 10 minutes of the cottage).

The cottage is in close proximity to some great local coffee shops (Field Day and Skippers) and downtown restaurants. Easy bike ride into downtown or a 10 minute walk.

Get a good night’s rest on our new mattresses. Both rooms have blackout curtains and new bedding.

Can ride directly out to Poly Canyon/Stenner Creek mountain bike trails.

The dining area doubles as a work space with a small table and outlets nearby.

We purchased the cottage in 2013 and have been enjoying upgrading it while maintaining some of the original 1930’s charm.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Convenient and Clean Little House
This little place worked well for my daughter and I. We had a short stay to visit Cal Poly SLO and we were able to walk to campus in the morning, return to the little house and then walk to downtown SLO in order to check out the Farmer's Market. It was about a 20-25 minute walk to either but perfectly doable for us. I definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in SLO looking for a comfortable two bedroom accommodation.

Charming Cottage in SLO
We had a delightful stay in this cottage. The owners have modernized the interior, and it has everything you need, but it retains the charm of an older building. The location is ideal, not far from downtown but also close to the university. We appreciate how responsive the owners were to our questions, and will definitely stay here again when we visit SLO!
