However, the Barn Loft location is separate and private, all windows and access points facing away from our residence. Located just down the road to SLO's best wineries / vineyards, and/or a stone's throw the other way in to the heart of downtown SLO. If you are a Cal Poly family, the campus is a short 3 mile drive. Guests will have access to the Barn Loft, deck space, Barn Yard and driveway area only. The space is designed to face away from the main house + is separate from the main living space of the homeowners, who use the rest of the property for their full-time residence and occasionally rent it out as well. The Barn Loft feels very private! Guests have 2 free parking spaces directly in front of the barn, steps away from the Loft access. We live in a beautiful neighborhood with sprawling properties - it's a great place for a leisurely stroll! Comfortable accommodations for 4 (2 queen beds), living space with plenty of comfy seating, a full kitchen, and a beautiful bathroom with laundry facilities. Vaulted ceilings, tons of natural light, newly built... you won't want to leave! Uber is widely used in this area - a great option to get here from the airport (just a couple miles away) or around town. If you have your own transportation, wineries, hiking + downtown are all within a couple miles. Several beach options are nearby: Avila Beach (7 miles), Pismo Beach (8 miles), Morro Bay (14 miles), Montana de Oro (14 miles) and San Simeon (41 miles). While we are in the country, we are on the city line and directly across the street is a newer neighborhood. The main road in front of the Barn home is a 2 lane road but does get a little busier during morning and evening commute hours. If noise sensitivity is an issue for you, we provide a white noise machine for our guests in each bedroom. Only a few of our hundreds of guests have made small comments on the road noise, it really doesn't seem to bother the vast majority of people. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Double-glazed windows - Recycling - Unit size: 600 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101540000/101532900/101532855/w905h683x60y0-6dea64b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort-style home with kid friendly yard Grover Beach - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-31&endDate=2026-01-01&selected=101532855&PinnedHotelID=101532855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21730000/21726300/21726220/6b7b9b21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quercus Acorn Cottage-Best Porch in Town Awaits Your Stay!

This is our second visit to the Black Barn loft and we love it! Lindsey and Sean have thought of every single detail to make their loft feel like home. From the amazing cookie dough, to the comfortable beds, to the hot tub- it is the perfect spot! Can't wait to come back again soon! ##### Caitlin D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jolie M. Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend Getaway Wow, this property is too cute!! We enjoyed a weekend away with our infant. Sean and Lindsey had such great accommodations for our family. The location is right off a road but still very quiet. The view from the living windows are amazing. We really enjoyed the comfortable hot tub. It was a perfect place to relax and unwind from our busy world. Thank you so much ##### Jolie M.

Geographically it was so close to downtown SLO. We will be back!! ##### SusanC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey P. May 25, 2024 #### Peaceful, Family Friendly Country stay with all the amenities The Black Barn exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family (2 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant). It’s the little things that made our stay easier, like arriving with the pack n play already set up, a personalized letter, and clear checkin instructions. Plus local touches like a map for all the farms to visit, a local magazine and sweet treat in the freezer. A highlight was walking each evening to see the goats (who just had babies). Our toddler loved visiting them each evening and we loved the walk (not too far and only a slight hill which makes pushing the stroller on the paved road easy). Can’t beat the location, a place with the fresh air and views of a country stay that was so close to town. We cooked all our meals and the black barn was stocked perfectly. We hope to come back! ##### Kelsey P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### T A.
