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.

Lovely Lake
Leslie was a wonderful & communicative host. The lake house created a homey and peaceful element to our stay.
The VIEW, oh the view! Even with intermittent rain we were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful outdoor space.
We used all five bedrooms, which was plenty space for the seven of us. The only drawback to the room adjacent to the kitchen is our daughter had to put up with the early risers, making coffee and turning on lights.
Also, sometimes it was difficult to navigate through all the kitchen supplies/equipment, as there is far too much, lol. But otherwise, we had an incredible stay there, and look forward to staying again down the road.
