About this property
Quiet, Stand-alone Country Granny Cottage near the Village,
Your check-in will be accomplished via Keypad Deadbolt and ring doorbell camera. Your stay will be in our private, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, approximately 850 square foot, stand-alone granny cottage.
As you enter the abode you are greeted by the warm and inviting colors of our Southwest – Native American Heritage motif. This is the large open and airy Living Space with its vaulted ceilings & skylights. There is a 55” flat screen TV. Amazon eero mesh Wi-Fi & Charter/Spectrum High Speed 300 mbps Internet. There are also a CD player w/radio, books, card games, couch, daybed, chair and ottoman.
On the left is the spacious kitchen and small dining area that is equipped with almost everything you’ll need to prepare your own culinary delights. 20 cubic foot Refrigerator/Freezer, Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Coffee and filters, Gas Cook-Top, New Electric Oven, new pots & pans and more…. and there’s a ton of storage space for your own delectable goodies. We also have a Beach GO-Bag and Pic-Nic basket for you to borrow for those exploration destinations.
The bathroom has a big shower stall equipped with safety bars (no tub). You will also find a hairdryer, soap and shampoo and plenty of clean towels.
The large bedroom is decorated in a tropical island theme with its King Size platform bed (Firm) and huge mirrored closet. Open the slider to access the large smi-private patio. The patio offers sweeping easterly views of our two and a half acre ranchita and Poorman Canyon. Great place to sip wine and enjoy our almost nightly sunsets.
The Chalet is equipped with central heating (no A/C) with programmable thermostat, and ceiling fans in both living-room and bedroom.
All of this is within hiking distance of the charming village of Arroyo Grande.
To remain completely transparent in my listing I want to disclose to future guests that there is a small construction project underway next door that could impact the normal tranquility we enjoy here in the canyon. Fortunately, the worst part has passed so minimum disturbances can be expected. My apologies ahead of time for the inconvenience.
Sleeping Accommodations The Chalet is equipped with 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Daybed, and a six foot couch, and can sleep (3)three adult comfortably, (4)four adults in a pinch. Pricing is the same for 1-4 adult guests, however, please inform us of the number of guests that will be booked into the Chalet so we can provide the proper level of amenities.
When booking your reservation please be sure to add names and contact information for all guests in your party, especially if you will be arriving at different times.
The Chalet is part of a three-building compound, the main house, garage/guestroom/sunroom, and the Chalet. Residing on the property, I can be available to accommodate any questions or needs that may arise during your stay, but also far enough away to ensure our mutual privacy. This is not a "party house". We prefer to rent to, responsible, friendly people and open our doors to all! As Chez Chalet Ritz is “A Work in Progress” we must limit guest access to the Chalet and 2-acre Rachita. The barnyard is off limits to guests. Golden Hawk Lane is a shared access private road that services two other residencies other than our own. My neighbors ask that you please respect their privacy and not enter their property at 875 & 885 GHL. Thank You

Host was very welcoming. The chalet was perfect for our needs: clean, well appointed and plenty of room! This was our second visit to the chalet and we plan to stay there whenever we visit the central coast.
Long time Slo local visiting from San Diego. This place is in a great location, quiet, peaceful, and lots of culture especially if you want to do wine tasting in the valley or hit the beach.
We had a wonderful time at Marvin’s Chalet Ritz. The apartment is full of interesting things to look at and read, and there is a beautiful view out of every window. Everything was clean and tidy, there were plenty of supplies for our extended stay, and Marvin was quick to help us with any needs that came up. We would enjoy another stay there!
The property is exactly as advertised. Clean, compact, and homey. Check in was a breeze due to keyless entry and the code being shared before arrival. The garden was gorgeous! A lovely location to spend a few days. Marvin is a responsive host, he answered all my questions and emails both prior to and during the stay. Close to several beautiful areas and beaches. We saw so much of the countryside and ate at several great restaurants.
very quiet. we went for a celebration of life for my father and after being with loud, and noisy family and friends it was good to have peace and quiet
Chalet was gorgeous the minute we opened the front door - WOW!!! It was more than spacious and nicely furnished for hubby and I to relax. We kinda liked being out in the country, taking the back roads to get around. Plenty to see and do in SLO county! Gotta admit though, we never did run into Marvin as he did such a great job communicating and sharing all the features of his chalet as well as the surrounding area.
Love this well appointed cottage. Very clean, plenty of towels, comfy bed, parking space and great communication and responsiveness from the host. A couple things to consider:
The cottage is outside of arroyo grande in a more rural area, lovely and quiet but you need to drive to restaurants, shopping, etc.
We found the cottage quiet at night however if you are a light sleeper, note that there are a few dogs that may bark, a rooster nearby and a motion light that goes on if a critter walks by. Again, it didnt bother us.
We would definitely stay here again!
The property was just as it was described and reviewed. It was probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed at. Despite it being close to a main road, by nighttime it was extremely quiet! No traffic noise, no barking dogs. The location was convenient and close to SLO and Pismo Beach. It is well-priced and a perfect place to stay for a short or long trip. Marvin did a beautiful job decorating the unit with Native American touches. The appliances are in excellent condition and the kitchen is well-stocked. If you are looking for a well-priced, quiet, stand alone cottage, this is the place for you!! Don’t miss out!
This was a wonderful holiday. The cottage was spacious, clean and cozy with all of the necessities for cooking if desired. The location was perfect with easy driving to the coast or inland. This area has lots to see and do and kept us busy all 4 days. Our host kept in touch. I highly recommend Chez Ritz.
Our stay at “the little yellow house,” as my son called it, was excellent. The vibe was very welcoming the moment you drove up. It was easy to find, check in and check out was very easy. It was well stocked, instructions were well written and Marvin was a great host and very communicative. We had a great stay and would highly recommend Chalet Chez Ritz.
