The cottage is light and airy, with all the essentials minus the clutter. Bonus points if you find the original 1930’s milk door! Great location for visiting Cal Poly; walking or biking to our town’s famous Thursday evening Farmer’s Market; or getting away for a long weekend of hiking, mountain biking or wine tasting (all within 10 minutes of the cottage). The cottage is in close proximity to some great local coffee shops (Field Day and Skippers) and downtown restaurants. Easy bike ride into downtown or a 10 minute walk. Get a good night’s rest on our new mattresses. Both rooms have blackout curtains and new bedding. Can ride directly out to Poly Canyon/Stenner Creek mountain bike trails. The dining area doubles as a work space with a small table and outlets nearby. We purchased the cottage in 2013 and have been enjoying upgrading it while maintaining some of the original 1930’s charm. We hope you enjoy your stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### 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) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34150000/34141200/34141147/dc201782.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax In This Newly Renovated Downtown Cottage Lower Higuera - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 124 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=34141147&PinnedHotelID=34141147&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103620000/103611000/103610946/759cb4ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Boho Bungalow!
