The space
##Stargaze from a Nipomo Mesa Ranch with Miniature Farm Animals##

Escape to tranquility on our peaceful ranch, boasting over an acre of stunning Nipomo Mesa views where the night sky truly comes alive in your own, private studio apartment. Imagine unwinding sitting in the private patio with a glass of local wine, enveloped by the quiet beauty and exceptional stargazing this area is known for. Or gather around the crackling firepit for the quintessential s'mores experience under the calm, clear skies where summer temperatures average a delightful 74 degrees.

Wake up to a charming menagerie of miniature farm animals – adorable Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, fat-fluffy chickens and colorful pigs! Savor your morning coffee on your private patio, steps from our organic garden. Prepare a delicious breakfast with fresh farm eggs waiting in your kitchenette, or enjoy a lighter continental selection with fruit, breakfast bars, or oatmeal.

As evening descends, enhance your relaxation with a complimentary bottle of local wine (for stays of 3+ nights) and the mesmerizing glow of a Swedish log burning in your private firepit. Indulge in the simple pleasure of our homemade goat milk soap after a soothing shower.

Our prime location offers the best of both worlds. We're a scenic 15-minute drive south to the vibrant '5 Cities' area, encompassing Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, and Avila Beach – each with its own unique charm and attractions. Just a bit further north (another 10 minutes) lies the lively city of San Luis Obispo, brimming with dining, entertainment, and Cal Poly events.

Wine and spirit enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise. Begin your exploration of SLO County's acclaimed wineries just south of us at the renowned Laetitia Vineyard & Winery and nearby Peacock Cellars. Continue north along Highway 101 to discover the celebrated vineyards of Paso Robles, including Daou Winery and Justin Vineyards. For a taste of local craft spirits, don't miss a visit to Calwise Spirits Co. and their exceptional gins and whiskeys.

Guest access
There is a lighted private entryway through a gate with your private patio on your right. The organic garden is next to the patio along with feed for the animals.
