About this property

Entire place

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

Iconic Modern Farmhouse+walkable+views+BBQ

Gorgeous and iconic farmhouse located in the east railroad district of downtown San Luis Obispo. Situated in its own lovely microclimate, this historical gem has a private estate like-setting with a large backyard featuring several fruit trees and grape vines, creekside foliage and its very own windmill.

This meticulously cared for farmhouse has an open floorplan downstairs with living area, kitchen, dining room, laundry room and full bathroom. Up the stairs you`ll find three bedrooms all with queen sized beds and bathroom with shower. The home is fully stocked with all the essentials you`ll need to enjoy your trip. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac just moments to downtown.

Whole house and property

I manage multiple Airbnb`s in the area. I do my best to be available 24/7 for my guests. I can be reached by text, Airbnb message or phone at any time during your stay. I live nearby, so if there is an emergency I can be to the property quickly.

Safe, quiet and family-friendly neighborhood in the east railroad district near French Hospital.

Quick 10-minute walk to downtown- thanks to the pedestrian bridge at the train tracks. 1 mile to Higuera St. Multiple restaurant options nearby.

We are located near the train station and some train noise can be heard at times. Mostly just the train horn and the last train come through no later than 9pm.

Walk, bike, drive, Uber, Lyft... all the ways.

This historic home is 100 years old and comes with the quirks and squeaks you would expect. The yard is not fully fenced so if you are traveling with a pet, please keep that in mind.

A 3% merchant service processing fee will be charged for all cancellations. Airbnb handles all payment matters from bookings made on their platform.

We absolutely loved our stay at the farm house in SLO. The location and property were fabulous. The patio, porch and all the interiors were so inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, but it was nice to know there were restaurants so close if we wanted to eat out. Thank you so much for sharing this special property with us. We would love to return for a future visit.

Overall the house was nice and quaint. Loved the bed and bedding. The main drawback was the very loud creaking when turning door knobs and opening the bedroom doors. We also could hear anyone who was walking on the upstairs floors. We were all awakened by the neighbors dog who awoke us 3 times last night. But we did like the overall location.

The farmhouse is so well done and appointed. Communication was very clear for arrival and departure. There was even a cute book with instructions, restaurant recommendations, and things to do. The house was very clean and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the Farmhouse. It is the perfect place for a stay in San Luis Obispo. It is located in a quiet area, and is convenient to everything. Pauline is a great communicator and very responsive. The house is larger than it seems and has very nice amenities. We look forward to staying here again when back in SLO!
