About this property

LUXURY | VISTA HOUSE above the Clouds!

Relax, recharge and escape to this luxurious retreat experience in paradise.

Best view in SLO (15 minutes to downtown): Pictures don’t do justice to the unforgettable mountain top views of the Pacific Ocean, Seven Sisters (extinct volcanoes), rolling hills, mountains, valleys and flickering lights of San Luis Obispo. You can get to know the property at @visitvista and check out @bourbonandcider (your four legged Golden Retriever Assistant Hosts - we post our adventures daily! :). We are pet friendly.

The exceptional 8-acre mountain top property (halfway between SF and LA) has two bedrooms, chef’s kitchen and a large, elegantly appointed bathroom. Indoor areas transition seamlessly into outdoor living and dining spaces through French doors and large windows. The huge 500 square foot private deck provides a comfortable place to read, relax (honor wine & champagne bar) or dine (BBQ equipped) while taking in the commanding views.

Appointed with new premium fixtures, furniture, amenities and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Complimentary onsite electric car (Tesla, etc) charging station. This dedicated vacation rental is professionally cleaned (fresh linens, towels, etc.) and a hotel quality experience awaits your arrival. Accommodates up to six guests, with four being ideal.

The grounds feature complimentary fresh eggs from the chicken coop and seasonal vegetables from our raised beds, gardens, koi pond, "Walter's" tortoise habitat and an incredible vista of wildlife, particularly birds and raptors who are at eye level.

This coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF is a short 12 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, Cal Poly, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, dedicated dog beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. On the road heading down to Avila, there is a wonderful winery (Kelsey), farm store (Gopher Glen) and fruit and cider ranch (See Canyon Fruit Ranch). You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!

Vista House is hard to leave once you arrive, with wonderful hikes, incredible natural surroundings and bountiful wildlife. Stock up at the Whole Foods, Sprouts or Costco at the bottom of the hill and settle in for a memorable experience!

Beautiful Location!!
The reviews and description are right! You don't want to leave this place. We only stayed one night but wish we booked two! The views are amazing, such a peaceful environment. Beds were very comfy and oh my the sheets! I wanted to take them home ;) Pups were very friendly and loved to play fetch. Ryan was friendly, welcoming and one of those host you want to hang and drink a beer with. Hopefully we'll be back soon!

Beautiful views and comfy beds
We had a very relaxing, peaceful stay at Vista House. Ryan was a great host who greeted us when we arrived, showed us the ropes and was easy to communicate with and super responsive. THE VIEWS are what may bring me back here again one day. Waking up in the morning with a book and a cup of coffee, and sitting out on the patio overlooking the rolling hills was just so relaxing and peaceful for my soul. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets felt luxurious. The bathroom was huge and the rain shower was just "extra"....I loved it. I intend to return with friends the next time I need a quiet, relaxing getaway, only a few minutes drive from good food and wine. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing mountain house
This perfectly appointed and comfortable flat has a spectacular view and everything you could possibly want. Ryan, Bourbon, Coder and Walter the tortoise make great hosts. Ryan can tell you all about the area but you may not want to budge from the chaise on the porch. Too beautiful and peaceful. Soon back.

Beautiful views, luxuries beds and bathroom. I almost didn't want to share so that it is available when I want to stay. Ryan has thought of everything a guest could need; I couldn't ask for anything more.

Amazing views and wonderful hosts!
We cannot say enough about this property. First off, the views are amazing. You have a 180 view of the Irish Hills and a private patio to enjoy them. So peaceful and lovely it makes you never want to leave. The house was super clean and the beds were very comfortable…and I am super picky about both of these things. Ryan, Bourbon, and Cider were great hosts! Ryan is so friendly and accommodating and gave us great suggestions on where to go with our dog. Bourbon and Cider greeted us every day and our daughter loved playing with them. This was truly a one of a kind experience and we will definitely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan, Bourbon and Cider

Host profile image
Favorite things are our home and friends, especially Bourbon and Cider who are rescued Goldens and the sweetest dogs! We love visiting the local beaches, preparing meals and enjoying the other animals including Walter the Tortoise, Chickens and Koi.

Favorite place is Big Sur, movies at the Sunset Drive-In in SLO, when friends visit and preparing meals with vegetables from the gardens, local farm stands and farmer's markets.

We love to visit off the beaten path places, meet the locals and blend in. Favorite fancy place is Ventana in Big Sur.

We get excited when we get good reviews and positive comments at our VRBO's. We truly love the serenity and views here and are very happy to have the opportunity to share this place with travelers from around the world. We appreciate and do not take for granted that guests chose us, stay with us and like the experience.

We love serving guests, maintaining and improving the vacation rentals every day, helping others create, plan and execute new ideas, planning trips and getaways and purchasing unnecessary products, services and anything else they sell on Amazon Prime.

We are grateful for the gift of life Ryan received on November 2, 2015 when he was given a heart transplant. We enjoy the wonderful people who visit us.

What makes this property unique

Incredible memories. We appreciate your choice to stay with us, we don't take it for granted and will do what it takes to enhance your experience. We have a very high re-visit rate.
