MOUNTAIN TOP GETAWAY : Best View In SLO! : Pups stay free FEB, MAR & APR

MEMORIES WITH A VIEW & EXPERIENCES YOU WILL CHERISH:

The "Irish Hills House" at the top of Prefumo Canyon has the Best View in SLO with stunning 180-degree panoramas stretching from ocean, valley, mountain and cityscape. The view is famous and tourists and locals alike stop at the vista point turn off. The Irish Hills House is above the Prefumo vista point, at the top of the mountain and has a fantastic view!

Our pet friendly vacation rental is conveniently located to 15 minutes to SLO (DT and Cal Poly), 15 minutes to the ocean (Avila Beach) and half way between LA & SF. We are near wonderful activities, wineries and experiences.

The most common guest comment, "The photos do not do the views justice!". You can get to know the property at @bourbonandcider (your four legged Golden Retriever Assistant Hosts) and @visitvista (the official IG) - we post daily!

Irish Hills House has two bedrooms upstairs with dormer ceilings, one is small with a floor queen bed, ideal for children or a short adult. The other bedroom has two queen beds. In addition, there is a king bed downstairs (not private) in the common living area. The space can accommodate 8.

We store two additional queen size futons and a 'Pack n' Play' for babies. There are bathrooms on each level, a fully outfitted kitchen and a large outdoor deck. There are great views from every window. I think the kitchen window must have one of the best views ever for washing dishes! :)

We are on the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy. 1). The coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF. Our road (Prefumo Canyon) turns into See Canyon and leads to Avila Beach. There is a short 15 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!

We are on 8 mountain top acres with world class views, hikes and wildlife right outside your door. Barbecue, share a meal and wine on the deck or picnic down by the raised garden beds. We invite our guests to enjoy fresh vegetables and eggs from the gardens and henhouse, so help yourself! In addition to our chickens, we have a pet tortoise named 'Walter' (Everyone loves Walter) and a Koi Pond in front of the Irish Hills House.

The vacation rental is well suited to romantic & girls getaways, family friendly & Cal Poly parents stays, adventure seekers & coastal journeys. We love dogs here!

This is a dedicated VRBO, which is professionally cleaned before each guest's arrival with clean and fresh, sheets and towels. The house is maintained in pristine condition in preparation to offer a 'hotel-clean' experience amongst breathtaking mountain-top views in nature and tranquility.

The Irish Hills House is across a deck from our main home. We respect boundaries and the experience is intimate and free of distraction.

We run at almost full occupancy, so if you see an opening and you are ready - please feel free to Instant book! Also, please feel free to follow up with any questions - none are silly :)!

See you soon!

We rented both places for our party of 8. There was plenty of room. Great outside areas to enjoy the views, clean, and it had everything we needed. Bonus was the super sweet dogs and tortoise to feed. Would rent again. Ryan was a great host. Thank you!

Incredible find
On our way from LA to SF we made a pit stop in SLO and found this incredible gem. Ryan was super communicative - especially helpful in prepping us for the very lonnnnng drive up the mountain to his property. But the drive was worth it and the sunset took our breath away. Great space and beautiful setting. Would stay here again

Ryan, reached out to us a few hours before our arrival. Letting us know the house was ready for our family. The house is beautiful and in god’s country. Waking up in the mornings to a view of Morrow Bay. Amazing. A house with a view. We reached out to Ryan asking for local advice on restaurants and he gave us great recommendations. Thank you Ryan.

Beautiful Views
My family and I really enjoyed the scenic views and beautiful sunsets. Ryan, the host, was very personable and welcoming. My children loved Walter the tortoise and playing with Bourbon and Cider. The house was large enough to accommodate our family of seven comfortably and we appreciated the thoughtfulness of items available to us, especially the Weber grill.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place. The view from our unit was awesome. We could see the ocean and Morro Bay when the marine layer lifted, as well as the Los Osos Valley and the mountains beyond. Ryan is a gracious host, who became a friend during our short stay. Bourbon and Cider are adorable. This was the best VRBO we’ve stayed in, by far. We are looking forward to going back.
