About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This house is a 4 bedroom(s), 2.5 bathrooms, located in Arroyo Grande, CA.

Get away from it all yet be close to San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly, beaches, wine tasting, Lopez Lake, and the historic Village of Arroyo Grande.

You’ll love our place because of it's family friendly mid century industrial aesthetic (concrete floors, high ceilings, bright natural light) and its wide open 2.5 acre outdoor space full of fun and games.

Great for families & big groups!

We're usually nearby and always available to help if needed.

The Big House is one of a growing collection of unique, one-of-a-kind, family-owned Airbnb experiences hosted by Wild Hair Retreats in the beautiful Corralitos Road valley.

The Big House is surrounded by micro farms and horse ranches. It's wide open, private and peaceful, yet just a beautiful a 5 minute drive to the historic village of Arroyo Grande, a 12 minute drive to downtown SLO, and a 10 minute drive to the beach. Truly the best of town & country.

To see our other listings, click our bio and please follow us on Insta @wildhairretreats.

The whole house and surrounding property is yours to enjoy. There is a second house on the property and we usually stay in the apartment at the back of our barn. This is our family home that we vacate when guests visit.


Our home is professionally cleaned and sanitized between every stay.

Whether you're looking for a place to have a small family reunion, a place to get away from it all, a central location for Cal Poly, SLO or Central Coast activities, a home perfect for a wedding party/visit, a special celebration or even a business retreat, our home is perfect to serve your needs.

We call our little slice-of-paradise 'The Wild Hair Ranch' and you're invited to come enjoy it. Outside you'll love the wide-open 2 1/2 acres surrounded by micro farms and horse ranches. The amazing canyon and valley views will take your breath away and calm your wearied soul. It's just a stunning 12 mile drive through the vineyards of the Edna Valley to downtown San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly. It's only a couple miles to the historic quaint Village of Arroyo Grande. The beach is a short 6 miles away and Lopez Lake is less than 5 miles away. Wine tasting abounds just around the corner. After living 20+ years in Southern California, our traffic-free 'commutes' here are a blessing.

Inside, enjoy the fun and function of our light and bright 3,200 sq/ft modern home where mid-century meets industrial with polished, heated concrete floors, glass roll-up garage doors into living spaces, extensive library, arts & craft room, fireman's slide pole, 16 foot Caesar stone kitchen island, professional appliances, media room, spa bathroom, game cupboard, foosball and a whole lot more to make your time away unforgettable. With beds for 10 and plenty of room to spread out sleeping bags on couches and carpet, it's a great set up for a large family, 2-3 smaller families, or groups of up to 14.

Completed in March 2010, this is our family's dream home. The property is clean and wide open. There's room to run and lots to do for the kids including tree swing, basketball hoop, trampoline, exploring and tree climbing. In addition, enjoy our outdoor fire pit, bocce ball and horseshoes. If you're so inclined, enjoy our chickens too!

The Central Coast is a wildly popular place to visit, known for its stunning coast and countryside, quaint small towns, plentiful vineyards, numerous outdoor activities, specialty restaurants, and the feeling that you are a million miles away. You will fall in love with our area and with our home – the perfect combo for a memorable escape!

During guest stays, our family most often retreats to a small flat in the back of an out of the way barn on the property. We're busy and don't expect any social interaction. Let's respect one another's privacy. We are here if you need anything. There is also a second long term rental house on the property.

Finally, there is a friendly outside dog, 2 outside cats and usually a few chickens on the property. Mosts guests love the animals and see them as part of the experience, but if animals are not your thing, this property is likely not the best fit for you.

AMAZING Experience

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. This was the best rental we have ever stayed at. We booked the “Big House” with my sister and her family for a Celebration of Life gathering. Tim was so gracious the entire time and was quick to communicate back to me and answer questions. The house is just stunning and has a perfect design, decor and layout. The kitchen is fully stocked with great appliances, knives, so many plates and cups and cutting boards. We have smoothies for breakfast so when we saw the Vitamix we were so happy! It is also REALLY nice to have the tv separate from the living space. The kids could watch a movie and we could talk without telling them to turn it down. So smart! Best of all…there’s a fire pole!!! The details are impeccable. The rooms were spacious and well thought out including everything we could possibly need during our stay. We loved the outdoor space the most though. It is what sold me on the rental to begin with. Trampoline, horseshoes, a slack line, basketball…this house is a DREAM! They even included s’mores and a bottle of wine for us! Totally unexpected but it was so much fun to use the fire pit at night. And Luther, their dog, is the sweetest and was so much fun for the kids. We really felt at home and can’t wait to book again this summer. Thank you Tim and Susie for opening up your home as a rental.

This house has something for everyone!

We met two other families here who are life long friends for a long weekend. Our group of 11 was completely comfortable and felt at home instantly. The Big House was fully stocked, beautifully decorated, had plenty of space to where we never felt on top of one another and there was something for everyone. Two of us are former chefs and loved every aspect of the kitchen, our animal lovers were in heaven with the friendly dogs and cats on the property, and the kids had a blast w/ the fooseball table/trampoline/corn hole/basketball hoop/ping pong table etc. All the beds were comfortable, there were plenty of linens and every kitchen tool we needed was available. We all kept saying how we can’t wait to come back!

Neat house

This unique home was a great location for our group of 12: 6 kids and 6 adults. Near to all the Pismo area attractions, but so many fun outside things at the property as well. The kids loved checking for fresh eggs, the trampoline, and we used the open area to play baseball. The owner is easy to communicate with and accommodating. He was willing to work with us on our requests about the property-based dogs.

Pismo Family Vaca

We came here for our Pismo family vacation with our kids and other family members. Upon arrival it was easy to find. The front gate was a little tricky when trying to exit. Dogs seemed a little intimidating when we arrived as they were barking but ended up being very friendly. I initially thought it would be weird seeing as though the owners were staying in barn apartment. However it wasn't. Mainly just seen the older son. There was some water issues. Owner was responsive as I went outside and the son was already at the water tank. Did have a issue with urinal inside but that was fixed as well by son which I got to meet and was very respectful and friendly. It gave me the opportunity to ask a bunch of questions about the AMAZING house. The ideas and history into the designs and decorations of the house were really cool and our family enjoyed everything the house offered. The garbage cans outside were full prior to us arriving so unfortunately we were not able to toss much garbage as we didn't want to leave bags outside. Overall the house is amazing. Everyone loved it.

Nice escape

Overall a nice place to tuck in and hide away from the city. The, house is well laid out and there is plenty of open space for the kids to run around. We had a nice time cooking family meals, playing board games and catching up on some reading. Worth noting, this is someone’s home, not a vacation home, so it definitely feels like you are in someone’s personal space. The homeowners +family being so close by (they stay in the barn behind the house) definitely diminishes the sense privacy, but our group had a nice experience and enjoyed our time.

Hanson/DeHoog Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

The home is a slice of the best of country living close to the beaches. We asked to hold my son's wedding rehearsal dinner there and the owner accommodated that for an additional fee but it was well worth it. I was a bit surprised to learn at the last moment that the home owners would be staying on site in the barn behind the house and worried that the commotion of our dinner might lead to conflict but they were nothing but helpful and tolerant and we ended up grateful they were there to add extra outdoor games etc. to our event that made it more fun! Highly recommend this place for families and family events!

Great house for getting a couple of families together

We met up with another family for a long weekend - 5 kids between us, ranging from 4-10. The house was great for the adults (big open kitchen, piano and lots of other instruments) as well as the kids (foosball table, crafts table, big yard, etc.). It had a great vibe and everything we needed. There were a couple of dogs who we could have left penned up, but we chose to let them roam with the kids while they were playing-- and they added a whole other level to the experience. We all hope to return someday...
