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!

Leslie’s home is a happy home. The home is beautifully and comfortably decorated. Smiling photos of Leslie’s family adorn the walls. The home has such a positive vibe that you can’t help but absorb the good energy of the place. Our family of eight enjoyed the lake view and all of the comfort and amenities of the house. It is a quiet neighborhood from which we explored Avila Beach and the town of SLO. Our main reason to visit was for a family wedding in Edna. The house was perfect and convenient for this purpose. Morning coffee on the deck while bird watching and chatting was our favorite activity. This is Leslie’s happy place which makes you want to take extra care in keeping it lovely.

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.

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

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.
