Flora Farm Cottage | Hot Tub, Creek & Fresh Eggs

Wake up to the gentle sounds of the Central Coast. Collect fresh, organic eggs for breakfast, pick fresh avocados, and soak in a private hot tub as the sun sets over the Arroyo Grande Creek.
The Cottage at Flora Farms is a refurbished 1905 farmhouse nestled on 3.8 private acres. It’s a place where nature takes center stage—tucked away from the noise, yet only minutes from Pismo Beach and Edna Valley wine country. This is the Central Coast exactly how it was meant to be experienced.

VINTAGE SOUL, MODERN COMFORT
The Cottage is a masterfully refurbished 1905 farmhouse designed with an open, airy flow that brings the outdoors in. While the name suggests something rustic, the interior is a clean, modern sanctuary with high-end touches like premium linens and professional-grade appliances.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: FARM & GARDEN
The land is the heart of the experience here:
- The Hen House: Help yourself to fresh eggs; we provide crates in the kitchen pantry for your morning harvest.
- Heirloom Gardens: Our organic vegetable and flower gardens are yours to enjoy—feel free to pick what is in season.
- The Orchard: Wander the grounds for seasonal fruit and avocados (just remember they need a week or two to ripen once picked!).
- Private Hot Tub: A dedicated soak spot on the deck overlooking open farmland.

SLEEPING SANCTUARIES
The layout is designed for privacy, with bedrooms positioned on opposite ends of the home:
