Great Family Vacation Spot

Had a great time with our family staying at this house. Gives you the feeling of staying at a relatives house. Leslie the host is very good. She will communicate with you prior to check in and will answer any questions you may have. I we highly recommend staying here. Thanks again.

Great Location & Close to Everything You Need

The back deck looking over the water is a great view! The house had everything we needed for a great weekend. It is less than a mile to food spots and any groceries needed. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting SLO!

Wonderful, relaxing rental!

We were a party of 6 with two teenagers and folks from out of state. The location of the home is breathtaking and incredibly relaxing. The layout is ideal for groups and the property is not far from the downtown area. We would definitely rent again and Leslie is a fantastic, thoughtful host!

SLO Lakeside

We stayed due to overflow at a family home during a Celebration of Life! This stay was a blessing in many ways! There were many similarities to the family home which were welcoming and comforting. A 32 year neighbor of my parents (family home) coincidentally knew Leslie, our host and described her as a “great woman.” The house was lovely and clean. It was wonderful viewing the look from the other end!

Just what we wanted!

Leslie’s SLO Lakeside Lodge was a big hit with my family, even better than we expected. Leslie thoughtfully provided us with some nice gifts for our arrival, and everything was clean and well laid out. The view was as lovely as it is in her pictures, the hot tub was terrific and accessible, and even the weather cooperated mostly. Location was very good, close to rock climbing, which we appreciated, and very close to restaurants and shopping. But still felt like a neighborhood. Wonderful lake with hiking trails

A beautiful, comfortable place on the lake

Our family and friends spent a few days here as we celebrated my mother's funeral service and celebration of life. The setting was lovely and peaceful. The house was comfortable, clean and well set up for several of us to sleep well. Leslie, our host, was kind, helpful and very caring. We were able to host a small luncheon after the services and it went very well. Thank you Leslie for the use of your lovely home!

Nice house with a great view in SLO

The house is perfect for family gatherings for our 25th anniversary. The house is very clean and spacious. We never get bored with the view from the back patio. The view is changing from time to time because of the fog that keeps moving. Theowner is very nice and accomodating. She also gave us local bread and jam for breakfast. Thank you, Leslie.

Wonderful home!

We came for a small family wedding and 10 of us stayed at Leslie’s home. It met our needs perfectly- we had little children, and the upstairs play space was PERFECT! In fact after we left the kids said they wanted to go back! The place was clean and well appointed. She gifted us a bottle of Spanish wine - which we shared with bride and groom, and some locally roasted coffee! The deck and hot tub were great, and view was absolutely stunning! Peace and quiet! It is a family’s perfect place! So very grateful we found this place!

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.

Property with gorgeous view.

Leslie is a very nice and accommodating host. She gave us a tour of the house when we arrived. The house is well stocked with everything you might need. We were a family group of nine adults and had plenty of sleeping space, but there were only two bathrooms which was a bit tricky with nine adults. The house is her primary residence, so it is heavily decorated with family photos and keepsakes, and the counters are occupied with her belongings. The deck and its view is the best part of the house. It's gorgeous!

Comfy home and the back patio is sublime

Leslie's place is a great respite. My three friends and I had a wonderful weekend. The house has a great location and is comfortable. It's a short drive to Montana De Oro, Morro Bay, Jocko's, and SLO. The most amazing thing about Leslie's place, is the back patio. The view of Laguna Lake and its residents is hard to describe, it's so relaxing, beautiful, and, well, just sublime. Leslie herself is a charming person and a good communicator - any issues and she will respond asap. By the way, we had no kids with us but the upstairs kid's lair is amazing.

Great View

Stayed here for a college reunion/birthday celebration and had a great time! Leslie was a very responsive and attentive host. The location was very convenient as it was a short drive to downtown SLO, and the view of the lake was amazing from the back deck. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was the inability to enjoy the deck at night in the hot tub or use the fire pit due to the proximity of the neighbors and how easily they were disturbed by any noise. Overall, had a great stay in this property with enough beds, but would have liked to spend more time enjoying the back deck after a long day of activities out and about in SLO! Other than that, everything was great. Leslie was an amazing host and I would recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy SLO with a larger group!

Wonderful SLO Stay

The back deck steals the show! The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Outside is where we spent most of our time, though. 70 degrees in July (some of us came from Alabama) and a wide variety of birds to watch and identify. I definitely recommend you consider this home for your next visit to SLO.
