Luxury Vacation Rental in San Luis Obispo with Pool, Hot Tub and Waterslide

Higuera Ranch was the perfect place to host our wedding. We held the ceremony in olive grove, and the rolling hills in the background were breathtaking. It was so easy to move to cocktail hour on the neighboring patio and then to our reception in the barn. The best part was having all the houses on site where our relatives could stay, making it very convenient for our grandparents to go to bed when they wanted, and to ensure that we could enjoy ourselves without having to worry about when we'd end the party. Both houses are super nice with tons of space. The amenities, like bocce ball and horseshoes were lots of fun. Kristin and the property manager Chris were SO helpful during our entire stay. This is definitely a phenomenal space to host any kind of family reunion or celebration with a big group.

My husband and I were looking to get married somewhere where we could house our small group and get married right on the property. Higuera Ranch was the answer to our prayers! Because our family and friends are spread out over the country, we decided to make our wedding a little vacation for them. We stayed on the ranch for three nights. We got married right on the property and had our reception in the beautiful barn. I can not express enough gratification. The houses were very clean, big enough to house our guests, and plenty of bathrooms. We aren't from the area so we were clueless on wedding vendors. Kristen sent us her recommendations which all turned out to be wonderful. She is also very quick to respond to any questions you have. Chris (the property manager) was amazing. He helped us with anything we needed (trash removal, decorating the barn, sticking around in case anything went wrong). He is so kind and sweet, you will love him! I highly recommend this property for an event or even a weekend away with some friends and family. In fact, we will be back!

This amazing ranch was perfect for our dream wedding. It was more than what we imagined. Kristin and Chris were unbelievably amazing and literally worked so hard so our day was perfect. The house was perfect for family and rehearsal, the bbq made dinners easy and family get together friendly. The house was perfect for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in and take so many great photos as well as just relax by the pool with a glass of champagne. The property itself is a dream. We were so blessed to be able to call this our home and wedding destination for 3 days. Thank you Higuera Ranch. Our lives are changed forever.

We had a combination of a family reunion and multiple birthdays. Arrangements ew fantastic. Best property we have stayed at so far. We can't wait todo it again.

We had an amazing time. The home and grounds are beautiful. The pool, hot tub and water slide are there to be enjoyed by all. We can't wait to find time to come back.

We had our nieces wedding at Santa Margarita and this was the perfect home base. We had family from Montana, Missouri, Santa Cruz, Salinas and the bay area. Thanks to all who helped us out...

You never know what you're getting into when you rent homes off the internet. You're only going by the pictures the property posts. Let me tell you, their pictures DO NOT do this property justice. This place was simply amazing. We had a large group stay here for my wedding weekend. I was a little nervous cramming so many people into one space and everything and feeling comfortable. It was so roomy and open everyone felt great and had their own private space. Aside from this amazing place, everyone you talk to are amazing! Chris the groundskeeper/manager and Kristin the owner are the most helpful fantastic people. Always making sure we had everything we needed. Great hospitality! This place is a must stay for any type of event, large or small party! This place was truley the icing on the cake for perfecting my wedding weekend!

The house was perfect for a reunion of Cal Poly Friends. Their is plenty of room for everyone. The rooms are nice and the kitchen is perfect for entertaining. Outside is really where it's at. No neighbors to worries about, amazing views, an insane Santa Maria style BBQ, horse shoes, bocce ball court, a great pool, huge hot tub, oh and a really fun water slide. Which ended being fun for the big kid in all of us. I recommend this to any group, or for any event. It's a little hard to find but you'll manage. Grounds keeper a great guy and took care of everything.

We had a family wedding to attend in SLO and the ranch made a perfect place for our large group to stay - together. It was wonderful and many in the group are already thinking about other adventures which could use this location as a base. Very Happy...

We rented the place for a girls getaway weekend and we had a fabulous time. We had 15 ladies so we rented the main house and the guest house and there was a bed ( at least shared) for everyone. The main house was our main hang out and there was plenty of space for everyone to be more than comfortable. The two refrigerators was key for food and drinks for that many people. The setting of the house was very picturesque and the decor while very nice was also very comfortable and homey. The pool is not only beautiful but it was a Godsend since we were there on a particularly hot weekend and it was needed for relief. That is about the only drawback to the main house (No A/C) but we survived and I would do it again knowing that. The water slide was great fun for adults so I imagine the kiddos love it. The house has a great sound system for enjoying music both in and out doors. The property has a ton of privacy but so close to town. Most locals don't know about it, uber rides were only $11 (one way) and slo safe rides $5 per person. Chris the care taker was super helpful and response times from Kristin were quick. All in all it was a great stay.

What an amazing stay! Booking was a breeze, and Chris, the caretaker was very helpful and accommodating. A large group of us, 6 families, decided to rent out the main house, the guest house, and the room above the garage. As soon as we drove up, we couldn’t believe how beautiful the property was. Exactly as described, and even better than the pictures! No need to write an extended review as I would likely rave as everyone else already has. We had tentative plans to check out SLO and surroundings but none of us wanted to leave the pool and the relaxing atmosphere. We spent the time swimming, BBQing, and enjoying each other’s company. Looking forward to returning again soon!

We had the best time gathering with friends and family in preparation for the wedding. All who came to visit loved the house and the grounds. We easily accommodated 50-60 people for the Rehearsal dinner and would have had room for another 50! Chris and Kristen made our stay worry free by taking care of any questions or needs we may have had. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

We recently returned from our fantastic trip to San Luis Obispo and our equally fantastic stay at Higuera Ranch. What a lovely home and such a perfect location for 15 of us to meet up on an annual reunion trip for people coming primarily from Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The experience of driving onto the property and passing the old rustic barn, the olive trees and the vineyards, and then arriving at the beautiful home is unique and breathtaking. The main house is gorgeous and has a welcoming feel with comfortable furnishings and a great kitchen. You'll immediately see the pool and spa and the kids went crazy for the water slide. The outdoor grill is something special too, it's the kind you see at big ranches where they barbecue for tons of people at once. The property is huge with fun amenities like a horseshoe court and it's own freestanding gym. We spent a lot of time in the pool, playing games, cooking great meals, and just plain hanging out. We took advantage of the other house on the property as well, which is a five minute walk up the road and gave everyone in our group the chance to have their own bed and in most cases, their own rooms and bathrooms. There were trips to the nearby beach, visits to wineries, and some hiking excursions as well; all within just a few minutes of the property. Markets, coffee shops, and restaurants, were all close too. There is plenty to do in SLO, but to be honest, it is hard to leave Higuera Ranch because it is so beautiful and comfortable. Kristin made the process of booking her property easy and painless. Something we've come to appreciate more and more. And the groundskeeper Chris was equally as pleasant and helpful. Anything that we needed, Chris was there within minutes. If something needed fixing, he did it himself or called someone immediately to come sort it out. In trying to put this trip together, we had a lot of challenges with other homes. But it was meant to be that we discover Higuera Ranch and we all agreed that we may have just found our permanent place that we come back to every year.

Upon arrival at the ranch, we were impressed by the charm of the main house. Once we stepped inside, it was even more amazing. The high ceiling, commercial grade kitchen, large master suite and the pool was just too much to take in, and so much fun to explore. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought behind it to make it the best experience while you stay there. Even with a large group, you won't feel crowded. Our group enjoyed relaxing by the pool and playing board games at night in a secluded property so much that we didn't want to leave. The pictures don't do it justice because it's so much nicer and bigger when you see it in person. The only thing I would improve is to have signage on the road so it's more visible, especially for night time.
