Hilltop Guesthouse with a Patio in Atascadero

Fix breakfast in a homey kitchen and dine at a relaxed table beside a Klimt print. Adorned with charming furnishings, pops of pastel colors, and wood accents, this home has a cozy, cheerful glow. Sit on the deck patio to take in the view at sunset. I am looking forward to this new experience of offering an AirBnB and can’t wait to meet new people and help them feel welcome and comfortable in my guest house. I am so happy to help you make your visit a memorable one. The guesthouse is set among oak trees at top of a hill in rural Atascadero. Restaurants, a cinema, and a shopping center in town are a short drive away. See the animals at the Charles Paddock Zoo, then go for a hike at Stadium Park. We are a bit off the beaten path so you will need to get around by car or Uber or Lyft. We have plenty of parking space available. My 9 year old Golden Retriever, Theo and his pal, my orange cat named Mango, will probably greet you upon arrival. They both love attention but are not allowed inside the guest house in case anyone has allergies. They look forward to meeting you! :)

Central Coast Country Retreat

My husband Mike and I are artists. We searched for 10 years to find the perfect spot for our retirement years. We found 7 1/2 acres here, on the Central Coast, with spectacular views of verdant trees covering rolling hills that reach all the way to the distant mountains south and east of Arroyo Grande Village. Come and stay in our Guesthouse, relax, explore the property, walk the quiet country lanes. For a rural setting, we are surprisingly close to all amenities, beaches, and wineries.
