About this property

Entire place

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

The Casita at Rancho Dos Hijas Estate

The Casita is situated on 112 acres of cattle grazing land 15 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo. The property provides expansive 360 degree views of surrounding vineyards and mountains. It is peaceful and secluded but a short, 15 minute drive to award-winning wineries, the Avila and Pismo Beaches, and downtown SLO. Enjoy nature during the day on surrounding private patios or stargazing at night. Dine on the outdoor patio with views of grazing cattle and beautiful surrounding mountains. The privacy is unparalleled. 3 luxurious king sized beds in private bedrooms await and a fully stocked, well- appointed kitchen appeals to dining in-home. Bring your bikes, hiking shoes, beachwear or favorite comfort wear to explore all of the beauty in San Luis Obispo and the Edna Valley wine country.

Peaceful countryside

Beautiful property, quiet and serene, yet close to towns, wineries and beaches. Home was very clean and offered great amenities - teas, coffee, toiletries. Wine, cheese and breakfast foods upon arrival was a special bonus. Host was responsive and easy to reach. We look forward to returning!

Perfect location!

We spent a few nights here during Cal Poly’s family weekend. This could not have been a better location- away from the chaos of crowds here for family weekend, but only 15 minutes from campus. I will seek out this place on every trip up here!

Would gladly stay here again!

This property was clean and peaceful, with stunningly beautiful views out the front and back and plenty of outdoor seating to take it all in. Gary was a wonderful host, and I cannot think of anything I would improve about our stay. Although the casita feels remote, it is remarkably close to many attractions in SLO County. Our family would love to be able to stay here again.

Peaceful retreat

The house had spacious bedrooms with very cozy beds. The living space was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. Gorgeous views; peaceful setting; and an all-around perfect place for our family to spend the week. We hope to come back the next time we’re on the Central Coast.

Beautiful view and solitude

My husband and I spent 3 nights at The Casita and had a wonderful experience. The house was too large for just the two of us, but the property was chosen for the magnificent view, which did not disappoint. We enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon wine on one of the two patios and just enjoyed the surrounding beauty and solitude. It wasn't far to drive to SLO and everything the town has to offer. Gary was a welcoming host and very responsive if we had questions. We loved the area and our stay. We will be back!

Excellent. As advertised and complete with all amenities. Excellent reception wine bottle and cheese and crackers. Gary is a super host and very accommodating. The mountain range vistas are beautiful and so where the buffalo we got to see roaming the mountains. Thanks Gary.

Beautiful and relaxing SLO ranch. - heavenly retreat

We were so delighted with our stay. The photos accurately depict how beautiful the location and surroundings of this home are. Although it’s only 15-20 minutes away from the beach or downtown SLO, you feel a world away, ensconced in rolling hills, surrounded by grazing animals and groves of citrus. The owners take a lot of pride in the upkeep and we thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful touches and cleanliness throughout. We grilled on the lovely patio, animal-gazed, walked about the beautiful grounds and LOVED our stay here.

This is a spectacularly beautiful setting. The casita is in excellent condition and well furnished. Our hosts, Gary and Amber, were very gracious and available if needed but unobtrusive if not. Many nice touches beyond the usual. We will definitely return.

Perfect stay at the Casita

The is our second time staying at the Casita. The house is perfect for our needs and the view can’t be beat. The owners are very friendly and provided excellent communication throughout the time leading up to our stay. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat right in the middle of the wine country but still close to SLO and Pismo, this is the place for you.

Wonderful property, and terrific hosts

Our stay for a week at Gary's casita was delightful. Nestled in the hills on a ranch with spectacular views, and an easy drive to SLO. The house is very well maintained, and it had all the amenities of home, making our stay very comfortable. Nice patios to enjoy the surroundings and to relax after a day of cycling and wine tasting. Our host, Gary, is gracious and welcoming. We had a terrific time getting to know him. I will certainly return. Thank you Gary for making our vacation extra special.

Gorgeous property, gracious hosts

If anything, this casita is even more beautiful than the pictures. It sits high on a hill on an 100+ acres cattle ranch. The house is very clean and comfortable, and the hosts were full of great recommendations for backroad adventures, wineries, and restaurants. Gary even brought us a big bowl of Meyer lemons from their tree. We hope to return next year!

Girls weekend

My 3 daughters and I spent a long weekend at the casita and had a great time. Because the property is a ways out of town, we spent the days exploring SLO and the evenings at the property- the kitchen is the best equipped we’ve ever experienced, and the views, vistas and wildlife were enchanting. If SLO has nightlife, we missed it, but we had such fun cooking together, doing a puzzle, and enjoying one another. Couldn’t have asked for a better time!
