About this property

Entire place

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

This is a traveler's haven

This beautiful home will welcome either the solo traveler or families, we are ready for you! Enjoy the deck while you relax by the chimanea, or get into the spa for total relaxation! The house has three bedrooms, and the upstairs room can also has a queen sized bed. There is a very comfortable Murphy bed in the fireplace room. The playroom is great for kids! I recently added an electric fireplace/heater to the master bedroom, so lovely to wake up and look out at the mountain while you are comfy and warm in bed... I love sharing my home with others, I know that you will love it too!

Laguna Lake
This was a perfect place for my family. Each adult had their own room. The deck is amazing and we spent most of our daytime hours out there overlooking the lake. Another special feature is an upstairs playroom for children where you can just let them go. Leslie is a wonderful host!

Owner’s residence
The setting is beautiful. The home is the primary residence of the owner. Lots of stuff to watch out for with little kids. The upstairs kids room is very hot with little ventilation. Be careful if you use the jacuzzi, we were charged for a repair on the cover frame that was already damaged. Take pictures of everything that isn’t perfect.

I had a small gathering for friends and family at this home for a graduation. The owner Leslie was very responsive to all my questions. The deck is fabulous for entertaining. Incredible view. Wonderful local goodies left for us by the owner along with recommendations for local area eats and areas to explore.

Leslie’s home provided character and peace. From lively family ping pong matches to quiet coffee moments on the back patio overlooking the lake, her home has much to offer. We enjoyed our stay and Leslie was a lovely host.

Was a great home base for my friends and I while we spent time in our old college town. The jacuzzi on the back deck was a wonderful nighttime hang. The house felt like staying at a family members home. Had everything we needed. Leslie also left us some welcome treats of local goodies.

The VIEW, oh the view! Even with intermittent rain we were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful outdoor space. We used all five bedrooms, which was plenty space for the seven of us. The only drawback to the room adjacent to the kitchen is our daughter had to put up with the early risers, making coffee and turning on lights. Also, sometimes it was difficult to navigate through all the kitchen supplies/equipment, as there is far too much, lol. But otherwise, we had an incredible stay there, and look forward to staying again down the road.

Lovely stay if family lakeside home
House was lovely and very cosy - clearly a family home with lots of love and care. Lots of thoughtful touches to make us all comfortable. Views of the wetlands/lake off the large back deck we’re gorgeous. There is a fabulous kids play room - wish we had some kids with us to enjoy it :) Spent Thanksgiving holiday with family - it was a perfect stay.

Beautiful View and Great Owner to Work With.
Great location in a neighborhood a few minutes off the freeway. Beautiful view off the back deck of a lake and the mountains behind. Quick 10 minute drive to Avila or Pismo Beaches. The owner was wonderful to work with and was on top of everything. Communication with the owner was easy and there to answer any questions.

Beautiful View
You cannot beat the view from this house. It's just like the picture. Absolutely beautiful. The host was very kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. This is definitely a lived in house and does not have a neutral feel, which made us feel a little weird staying there - like we were intruding in someone's home if that makes sense. Other than that, no complaints. Again - that view is just the best.

We chose Leslie’s house for the close proximity to our nieces wedding venue in SLO. The location couldn’t have been better. House was very comfortable for the five of us. The backyard deck is huge and the view of Laguna Lake and mountainside from there is stunning. House has everything you would need for a perfect getaway.
