Serene Retreat in the Heart of SLO by RedAwning
Our hillside retreat offers breathtaking views that will leave you in awe.
Nestled in a peaceful and serene setting, this is more than a getaway—it’s a
sanctuary where tranquility and comfort come together. From the moment you
arrive, the refreshing atmosphere and calming ambiance invite you to unwind
and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether you’re a much-needed vacation with friends and family, a private yoga
and meditation retreat, or planning a romantic escape this property promises
an unforgettable experience. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind,
the home includes a detached one-story private casita (guest suite), providing
the perfect blend of privacy and convenience.
Inside the main house, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen—a chef’s dream with
everything you need to prepare meals for your group. The spacious living
rooms, located both upstairs and downstairs, offer plenty of room for
relaxation and gathering. Families will love the thoughtfully designed baby
room, complete with a Pottery Barn full-size crib, rocker and toys, making
travel with little ones effortless. With three bedrooms on the first floor and
the single-story casita, the home provides ADA-accessible options to ensure
comfort for everyone in your group.
Outside, the property continues to delight with an expansive retreat-style
lounging area featuring a private, large hot tub. Surrounded by breathtaking
views, it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the outdoors.
Situated in San Luis Obispo itself, this home is a rare find. It offers the
convenience of being close to the heart of the city while maintaining a
secluded and private feel. Perched a third of the way up Bishop Peak, the
property boasts stunning vistas, lush greenery, and plenty of privacy, with
only a few neighboring homes separated by abundant vegetation.
Imagine waking up to panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Picture yourself sipping your morning coffee as the sunrise paints the sky in
hues of gold or enjoying the serene twilight glow in the evening. This
property offers not just a place to stay but a visual feast for the senses,

Leadership Team Retreat
This is a beautiful and well appointed home. The serenity and spectacular views truly made this the perfect retreat to inspire my team.
While we had no children at our retreat, the home is furnished with families in mind.
RedAwning made booking easy and they were quick to respond to any questions I may have had before and during the stay.
I look forward to future stays in this lovely home.
