Lilly's Guest House * Unique Farm Animal Sanctuary

Welcome to Lilly’s Guesthouse, a peaceful two-bedroom, two-bath retreat perched at the top of Hansen Hill in rural Arroyo Grande. Surrounded by mossy oak trees and overlooking the rolling hills of the Huasna Valley, this beautiful home offers the perfect mix of rustic charm, comfort, and convenience. Just five minutes from the Village of Arroyo Grande and midway to Lopez Lake, it’s an ideal spot to relax, explore, and reconnect with nature.

🏡 The Space
This private guesthouse offers everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay:
• Cozy living room with plush seating and a large Roku Smart TV
• Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and everything you need to cook at home
• Dining area for shared meals or game nights
• Private washer and dryer inside the home
• Spacious outdoor deck with peaceful seating to enjoy the views and fresh country air

Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck or watching a movie after a day exploring the coast, this home is designed for total comfort.

🛌 Sleeping Arrangements
• Primary Suite: King-size bed, Roku Smart TV, and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower
• Guest Bedroom: Queen-size bed with a full bathroom just across the hall
• Bonus Room: Connected to the primary suite, this flexible space includes a vanity and works well as a quiet office, nursery, or playroom. You can set up a pack 'n play or twin floor mattress for a child to sleep close to mom and dad.

The layout is perfect for couples, families, or even two friends or couples traveling together.

🐑 Farm Sanctuary Experience
This home sits on a scenic hilltop estate shared with a small, family-run non-profit animal sanctuary. The owner and her family live in a separate home on the property and care for a variety of rescued animals—sheep, pigs, hens, roosters, and turkeys—who have found their forever home here.

Guests are welcome to visit the sanctuary by appointment only, guided by the owner or farm hand. It’s a fun and memorable experience for kids and adults alike—especially animal lovers!

🌾 Know Before You Book
Please note that this is a rural, working farm property:
• You may hear roosters or other barnyard sounds during the day
• Occasional (infrequent) noise may carry from a nearby private gun range
• The home runs on well water, so in rare cases of power outage, water may be temporarily unavailable
• These are natural and rare occurrences that come with the rural charm—refunds will not be issued for things outside our control

🐾 Pet-Friendly
We welcome up to 2 pets! A $100 non-refundable pet fee applies per pet. Guests must review and agree to our pet policy before booking. 🐶🐾

📍 The Location
Lilly’s Guesthouse feels like a world away but keeps you close to everything:
• 5 minutes to Arroyo Grande Village — shops, restaurants, wine tasting
• 15 minutes to Lopez Lake — hiking, boating, and fishing
• Easy drives to San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and Edna Valley wine country

📌 Please Note: Guests are required to sign our rental agreement within 48 hours of booking and complete a security deposit authorization 2 days prior to arrival.

Lovely spot in the country side -- but close to everything you need

Great clean dog friendly spot

We stayed with some friends and our dogs over Thanksgiving to be near family close by. The house was clean, great views and biggest plus is they were happy to let us bring our dogs since it’s so hard to find dog care over holidays. It is a guest house basically right next to the owners house but they gave us plenty of privacy. Plenty of warm blankets and towels, owner Erika left us some snacks and wine which was so thoughtful. Will definitely stay again!

Amazing experience, We loved it

We had a fabulous stay and loved every minute. The cottage was well stocked and all our needs were met over and beyond our expectations. We really appreciated the little treats that the host had left for us and we enjoyed them thoroughly. The location too was perfect. Only 5 mins drive to the quaint and lovely Arroyo Grande downtown and 15-20 mins drive to all beaches and winery ! We will definitely recommend to our friends and are sure to revisit in the future. We will surely give it a 5 star rating. The only feed back we had was regarding the mattresses in the 2nd bedroom. They were slightly uncomfortable and did not provide a good night's sleep. If those can be replaced with better ones, there would be no room for any complaints.
