Beautiful place.. loved the breakfast and wine tasting. The only downside is that they have a spotty and extreamly slow WiFi.

The property is located in an absolutely beautiful area with amazing views of the hills with vineyards and a pond. The downside was my room was next to the property's generator and while we were literally the only customers besides the hacienda the hotel management declined putting me in one of the many other rooms "sorry we're full"...The other downside was the breakfast which at this price point should be better: more fresh and varied.

Perfect Vacation & Event Property
La Lomita Ranch is a beautiful property, that is exceptionally cared for in every sense of the word. Accommodations are warm and inviting, creating an immediate sense of calm and escape from the pressures of daily life. Darlene welcomed us at the Ranch’s entry drive and personally assisted us to our room, providing a genuine warmth and charm. Darlene personally created a beautiful breakfast every morning, including the best French pressed coffee, assortment of fresh fruit and homemade breakfast. Beautiful walking trails, relaxing seating areas throughout the property, allowing you to take in the natural beauty of the property. Do yourself a favor, take a moment out of your busy life to stop and remember what true relaxation within a beautiful environment means.

Tranquil stay for our Anniversay
A tranquil property that's a little off the grid. The hostess, Darlene, was friendly and made wonderful breakfasts every morning. The room was decorated in a Spanish fashion with comfortable beds. We sat out on the patio watching the sunset in front of a fire and listened to the fountain. It was bliss.

Hidden Gem
This place is truly a "hidden gem." Located on the vineyard side of San Luis Obispo. The ranch-hand Darlene gives guests individualized service including daily home cooked breakfast in the property's lounge kitchen. Wine Tours are also available upon request and are highly recommended! This property have only 7 rooms and a Hacienda so it is perfect for a couple seeking a quiet romantic retreat. This is a must stay!

My husband and I came from LA to get away for the weekend and we had a fabulous stay on the ranch. It was so quiet and peaceful on the property. The scenery is epic and you won't want to leave. We loved waking up to breakfast everyday made by Darlene. We visited the horses and did the nearby hike which was wonderful. The rooms were really neat, ranch style, a huge bathroom and very comfortable. We loved that there weren't many guests staying there so it was really quiet and you didn't need to worry about people passing by your room disturbing you. Lastly, they also make wine and since we were staying there we got a complimentary wine tasting from Scott. We bought 2 bottles. An excellent stay all around.

Wonderful Romantic Escape!!
Gorgeous property with stunning vistas in all directions, and the rooms have exquisitely designed details and some of the most beautiful tile and basin work I've ever seen in a hotel! The colors really popped, and each room has its own style! This property is ideal for weddings, which is mainly what they do, but if you're lucky to get a reservation just for overnight stays (usually during the week, as they book quickly!) this offers a wonderful escape into the Central Coast countryside, with quick access to restaurants and wineries. Beyond the beauty of the buildings and the surrounding area, we loved the warmth and hospitality of Darlene, who not only greeted us, set up the rooms and cooked our wonderful breakfast every morning, but also gave the place a personable style and home-like feeling. We can't wait to go back!

We had an incredible stay and enjoyed every moment of our trip. The property is beautiful, and the breakfasts each day were delicious. Our only "could be better" was the bed/mattress. It was a little difficult to sleep because of the wood creaking with any movement

Contact before check-in was frequent but somehow I still had problems with unlocking the room door. They communicated the access code but it looked like the room number (which they never communicated, only the name). If they hadn’t been available to help me, I would have been more frustrated and would have wasted time. Please make the instructions more clear, everything else was wonderful.

Very remote location, with one other guest on property. Expedia directed me to book the most expensive room. Total was $508.56, Promised drinks and hors doeuvres? A ranch manager (he was very nice) tried to check us in, but had to give us his master key to the room so we could get in. There was no one to greet us. Place lovely, I got the check in code after I texted the greeter. I wouldn't recommend for women traveling alone, too remote, and no one on site for security except for ranch manager and wife, plus owners living up the hill. (Not seen)

Dear Carol, Thank you for taking the time to provide us valuable feedback. We apologize that your expectations were not met during your stay. We work very hard to meet every guests expectations. Although we are only 5 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo on a private 160-acre ranch we have found that the privacy and serenity of our property is what attracts guests to La Lomita Ranch. We are working with Expedia to provide further guests a better description of La Lomita Rand and its amenities. It is my sincere hope that we have been able resolve your concerns through our direct correspondences with you and Expedia to your satisfaction.
