Beautiful Property on a Great Location
This is a lovely, beautifully decorated property. Excellent location—coffee shop and restaurants just across the street, and short 10-15 minute walk to downtown. Great host and amenities!

Wonderful stay at the Rail Road House
What a great stay we had in SLO. The Rail Road House location was perfect for us. We have family who lives close by. On top of that, the house was clean, spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Downtown restaurants and shops are within walking distance or a short drive away. There are corner grocery/deli's near by if you need anything during your stay. The property is located on a well traveled street and not too far from the train station, it was not a bother to us at all...we did not hear a train too early or too late. The host communication was great and very helpful with our stay. I would recommend the Rail Road House to friends and family and will definitely be back again! 5-Star all around!!

The home was beautifully appointed and comfortable. The owners added some special touches and embrace tech. It was an easy walk into the heart of San Luis where there are great restaurants and shopping. Definitely check out Thursday's Farmer's Market on Higuera. It was only two of us, but the house had a great children's room for a family. The front bedroom does get some street noise, but the bed is so wonderfully comfy you sleep well regardless. We hope to stay again in the future.

Over the top.
If the average vacation rental is an eight or a nine, this one has to be a 12 or 13. Impeccably maintained house. Every detail was thought through. From lit up light switches to easily see in the dark, and extremely well equipped kitchen, directions or instructions on anything in the house to be used, to very specific check-in instructions sent by email so you don’t have to use the app or can share with other people that are joining you. I travel a lot and almost always stay in vacation rentals but very rarely have I seen the attention to detail this host has put in. Staying in this house will make the Four Seasons look like a Motel 6

This historic house was well maintained and nicely updated. It was in a great location and close enough to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening with a glass of wine. We will definitely stay there again!

Beautiful home
Wonderful home in the railroad district of SLO Nicely remodeled, inviting house with big kitchen with everything you need for cooking, great backyard for relaxing, walkable location to downtown and cafe across the park served delicious breakfast and lunch. Road noise a minimum due to noise machines in each bedroom. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows. Great communication with host. We really enjoyed SLO and look forward to staying in this house in the future.

Wonderful home and fantastic hospitality!!!
This home is so stylish and comfortable!! Top notch amenities and technology! We enjoyed a glass of wine around the firepit, made a delicious dinner in the gorgeous kitchen and enjoyed a restful and deep sleep on the purple mattress bed in the primary bedroom! Kids seemed to love the daybed and trundle as they went to bed early and we didn’t hear from them all night!! There are several little touches throughout. Pancake mix, flour, sugar, coffee beans, oatmeal, a yummy bottle of wine, snacks, laundry supplies. We truly were offered anything that we could need. The location is fantastic, a block or two away from the cute SLO downtown area. Book this home- you won’t regret it!!!

Charming Piece of History
What a great house to spend a family vacation in! The property was immaculately kept, had everything you would need, and made us feel right at home. Located just minutes from everything in SLO and only a short drive to Pismo or Morro. The only regret we had was that we couldn’t stay longer.

Beautiful remodel with 80 amp EV charger
This 2br, 1ba property is gorgeously remodeled to a modern standard, and comes with everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Strong AC. For EV drivers, the 80 amp NACS (Tesla) charger is a pleasant surprise, and I was able to easily use if with an NACS to J1772 TeslaTap converter.

Wonderful stay at SLO
Beautiful property, very clean and tastefully renovated. We arrived a bit early because my kid had stomach problems. Michael was so nice to let us get into the property before check in time. He was a wonderful and attentive host. Everything was stocked nicely so we got everything we needed for the trip. The kids really enjoyed the trundle bed and the purple mattress was amazing! Thank you Michael.

Perfect Getaway to San Luis Obispo
This charming house was perfect for our girls trip. The house is clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to downtown. I only wish we had more time for a longer stay. I will definitely stay here again. Michael is also a great host and very responsive to messages. There were also sweet touches with snacks, water, and eggs already in the fridge. We were blown away. You will enjoy your stay here!!

First time VRBO renter
Since we were first time VRBO renters, we weren't sure of the process. But we were reassured form step one, with instructions and updates prompting us. Concierge service all the way. The place = equally beautiful and full of everything we needed. This is a property we'd want to return to.

My family and I were in town for the weekend and it was perfect fit! It’s a very charming and historic home within walking distance to downtown with a very cute breakfast spot just a black away. We were out and about enjoying the town most of the day but coming back to this house was super cozy! We would visit again.

Stylish SLO Stay...
Had a great stay at the Railroad House last weekend! This is a well appointed, stylish two-bedroom house that's been modernized yet has kept its historic charm. The house has nice sized spaces - living room, dining room, full kitchen (multiple coffee options :-) and decent size bedrooms - plenty of space for the four of us. The neighborhood has some great restaurants close by and it's a 10-15 minute walk downtown. Easy parking in the driveway. Michael was very responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. Great home base for our time in SLO.

This place is wonderful, not only is it beautifully decorated but there is even a Nespresso machine, Sonos speakers, Apple TV, .. Also, the host Michael was super accommodating. Even though he had guests scheduled to arrive on the same day of our departure, he arranged for a late checkout and also gave us tips for where to go in the town/what to do.
