Sisters at heart!
We are group of 35 women who have gathered for the past 23 years to eat, drink, craft and enjoy each other. This was our first time staying here and it was perfect! Plenty of room to spread out, visit, puzzle, play games, sit in the sun and all eat together in the dining room. The rooms were plenty large to sleep 4-6 people in each one. The location was perfect…walking distance to the cute town and plenty wineries to drive to as well! And the beach was about a 5 minute drive. We will be back again next year!

Large Parties Comfortable Stay
We really enjoyed our trip with 6 families, totaling 22 people. Plenty of space and beds, and the common areas were delightful. The kids (10 kids, ranging 3-9 yo) really enjoyed the fooseball machine, smart TV, arcade, & the gardens to throw frisbees (we got from local ice cream shop). Abundant & easily available parking for multiple cars, and it was very close and convenient to Trader Joe's, Vons, restaurants, and highways. Decor was lovely, and we all had plenty of space to eat, mingle, and play. The only thing we would have preferred would be a stronger dishwasher (had to pre-rinse & scrub everything), slightly hotter stove, and more utensils. We had to wash forks and spoons by hand in order to have enough for each meal, since we had so many people. It was amazing that they had 3 refrigerators! It was easy to message through the VRBO app a few times (must message rather than text) for some items when they needed quick replacement or replenishment, and the property manager was very responsive. The property manager was among the nicest and most accommodating that we have met, and he helped us through some of our technical challenges (locating the power breaker, figuring out how to lock the front door). Really, he was a pleasure to communicate with, going above and beyond. We would definitely want to come back for another stay, and we appreciate having so many rooms and beds, so that we can be together for our annual friends reunion. Don't hesitate to book!

We will be back!
We had a lovely stay. The property manager was more than accommodating and the house is lovely. If they’ll have us back, we’d love to return.

Fabulous place for a reunion with friends or family
Love this place. It is the second year in a row we have rented this former inn for our family reunion. Pros: * Great location near wineries, the beach and walking distance to Arroyo Grande's adorable downtown * 7 spacious bedrooms upstairs each with a private bath * 3 ground floor bedrooms - good for elderly parents * LOTS of seating in the dining room - perfect for group dinners * Three refrigerators in the kitchen * BEAUTIFUL garden, perfect for group photos * Parking for up to 10 cars Cons: * Need to plan meals carefully - only 1 small oven with 4 burners (didn't try using outside BBQ) * Limited activities for kids on-site (board games & foosball table only) * 3 adjoining ground-level bedrooms share 1 bathroom & entrance (former living area for innkeeper?) Thank you for letting us stay here! We would highly recommend this place.

Good experience
Overall a good property for large groups. Everyone had their own bedrooms and attached bath. Communication was excellent. Older home but well maintained. We had a good time.
