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!

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!

Was a great home base for my friends and I while we spent time in our old college town. The jacuzzi on the back deck was a wonderful nighttime hang. The house felt like staying at a family members home. Had everything we needed. Leslie also left us some welcome treats of local goodies.

Lovely stay if family lakeside home

House was lovely and very cosy - clearly a family home with lots of love and care. Lots of thoughtful touches to make us all comfortable. Views of the wetlands/lake off the large back deck we’re gorgeous. There is a fabulous kids play room - wish we had some kids with us to enjoy it :) Spent Thanksgiving holiday with family - it was a perfect stay.

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

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!

Beautiful View and Great Owner to Work With.

Great location in a neighborhood a few minutes off the freeway. Beautiful view off the back deck of a lake and the mountains behind. Quick 10 minute drive to Avila or Pismo Beaches. The owner was wonderful to work with and was on top of everything. Communication with the owner was easy and there to answer any questions.
