About this house rental

Custom built English Tudor style home located on a 400 acre ranch. This secluded ranch borders Cal Poly State University property and is situated 2.3 miles from Highway 1 on a part paved/ part all-weather gravel road. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 8-10 with a king, 3 queens and 2 twin beds. It has hardwood floors and granite counter tops. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an adjoining sitting area where guests can relax on a couch, enjoy the expansive view and chat with the chef while he or she prepares meals. The library is stocked with an eclectic collection of books. The home has high speed satellite internet access and good cell phone reception. There are 2 SMART TV's connected to a satellite dish which provides premium channel programming. The living room, with its mahogany paneling, leather couches and piano arrayed before an enormous fireplace, is reminiscent of a British gentleman's club or hunting lodge. Outside, the patio and garden have ample seating with both a wood-burning Santa Maria style bbq and conventional propane grill for your outdoor cooking experience. There is an outdoor fire pit is ideal for roasting hotdogs, marshmellos or just sitting around the fire under the stars.

Mike, one of the owners' sons, and his wife, Surika., livesin the stable building located approximately 100 yards downhill from the main house. They are happy to answer questions or help guests with any problems that may arise during their stay.

Guests are encouraged to bring their hiking boots and binoculars. The ranch is surrounded by rural Cal Poly property with its extensive system of dirt roads on which one can literally bike or hike for miles. For a more adventuresome and secluded experience, guests are welcome to explore the ranch itself which is home to deer, turkeys, coyotes, raptors and other native animals and birds. Those energetic enough to hike to the top of the ridge above the house will be treated to a spectacular view of Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo in the valley below and the Pacific Ocean ten miles distant.

Whether you are visiting this area to sample its world-famous wines and restaurants, to explore its pristine coastline or simply to relax and unwind, you'll be glad you selected the Stenner Creek ranch as your home away from home during your stay.

CAVEAT:
The house is located at the end of a 1.5 mile dirt/gravel road. While the road is maintained by the county, it can get bumpy and as such, its not ideally suited for guests with low-clearance vehicles. Guests with such vehicles will need to drive slowly and carefully.
Also, because it is a two story structure with stairs, the house is not well-suited for guests with mobility issues.

This was a wonderful, homey rental for a group to gather, cook and share meals, and enjoy outdoor living areas. It feels very remote but as others have mentioned it is very easy to drive into town. We loved the breakfast room nook for reading and watching the birds and squirrels at the feeder, the large outdoor dining table and BBQ grill, the fire pit, and all of the seating areas under the grape arbor. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking big family meals. There are two en-suite bedrooms. Downstairs is a queen sized bed and upstairs is a king with the laundry access through the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. The other two upstairs bedrooms use a large bathroom on the first floor. That wasn’t an issue for us but if someone has mobility issues, going up and downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night might be a challenge. It’s important to heed the owner’s warnings about ticks. Our family loves to hike and we had several ticks. There was a lot of wildlife due to the remoteness, which added adventure! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

We loved being at this home. It served our need well to gather with our extended family for a reunion. We appreciated a well equipped kitchen… gathering around the outdoor fire… it was all quite wonderful. Extremely family friendly.

Beautiful property near town but feels completely isolated. A great place to stay for a large group
