Charming Cottage - Conveniently located to Cal Poly and Downtown SLO
Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally located cottage in downtown SLO. The cottage is light and airy, with all the essentials minus the clutter. Bonus points if you find the original 1930’s milk door!
Great location for visiting Cal Poly; walking or biking to our town’s famous Thursday evening Farmer’s Market; or getting away for a long weekend of hiking, mountain biking or wine tasting (all within 10 minutes of the cottage).
The cottage is in close proximity to some great local coffee shops (Field Day and Skippers) and downtown restaurants. Easy bike ride into downtown or a 10 minute walk.
Get a good night’s rest on our new mattresses. Both rooms have blackout curtains and new bedding.
Can ride directly out to Poly Canyon/Stenner Creek mountain bike trails.
The dining area doubles as a work space with a small table and outlets nearby.
We purchased the cottage in 2013 and have been enjoying upgrading it while maintaining some of the original 1930’s charm.
We hope you enjoy your stay!

This property is very well-maintained and close to downtown SLO. The owners were very easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. Definitely will stay here again.
Our stay at Amber’s cottage was great! So convenient to downtown and Cal Poly campus. The clientele of the neighboring motel was a little sketchy at times but overall the area was safe and convenient. House was clean & comfortable. We had a great stay!
Charming quaint home so close to downtown SLO and Cal Poly. I used the kitchen to cook for my son who’s up there for school and the kitchen was well stocked and clean. The rooms are comfortable and everything was so cute. I will definitely stay there again and again the next several years.
We were here with family to attend a wedding, and this was the perfect place to stay! House was well furnished with everything you could need, and was very comfortable. Amber even messaged us before check in to make sure all went smoothly. Price was very reasonable. We were very happy- thank you so much!!

We had a comfortable stay at the Palm Street cottage, which is conveniently within a reasonable walk of downtown SLO. There was some warm times since the portable air conditioner did not reach the back bedroom but we made do with all the fans. Overall a nice stay.
This was a great place to stay for a long weekend in SLO. It's clean, quiet and conveniently located; walking distance from cafes, shops and entertainment. The host, Amber is friendly and responsive. Thank you!
My family and I loved this cottage. The neighborhood is
quiet and it is in walking distance to SLO. The cottage was
clean and had ample room for the 4 of us. The kitchen is
fully equipped and we loved having a washer and dryer. Our host was very responsive to our questions. We will reserve this cottage again when we return to SLO to visit our family.
We had a delightful stay in this cottage. The owners have modernized the interior, and it has everything you need, but it retains the charm of an older building. The location is ideal, not far from downtown but also close to the university. We appreciate how responsive the owners were to our questions, and will definitely stay here again when we visit SLO!
This little place worked well for my daughter and I. We had a short stay to visit Cal Poly SLO and we were able to walk to campus in the morning, return to the little house and then walk to downtown SLO in order to check out the Farmer's Market. It was about a 20-25 minute walk to either but perfectly doable for us. I definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in SLO looking for a comfortable two bedroom accommodation.
Very excited I stumbled on this listing - it was the perfect place for our family (two adults + 3 kids)! Such a cute cottage in quiet neighborhood and close to everything. We were greeted with a personal note and treats from a local bakery :) Thank you for an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!
This was the perfect property for friends or even a young couple that wants to experience SLO for the first time or to re-experience the college life. The unit was sufficiently clean and for the most part the amenities met our needs. The only draw backs to the stay were there were not enough towels for each guest for our stay and the kitchen lacked some cutlery. However these were just minor inconveniences that did not effect our overall experience with the listing.
