Libretto Cottage

Our family recently stayed 3 nights at the Libretto Cottage and loved it. The location is remote and there are no other people around to disturb you. David (the owner) helped us out when we needed it and provided everything at the cottage to make our stay comfortable. On the back of the property there is a nice trail that takes you to the top of the hill with an amazing view of the North side. Just a few miles away and you are enjoying excellent food in the small town of Arroyo Grande. My recommendations are Alphy’s Broiler, Rooster Creek Tavern, and Jaffa Café. If you are looking for a rustic getaway, this is it. Highly recommended!!!

Well, I’ll try to keep this short and sweet. My girlfriend and I stayed at Libretto Cottage in early February of this year and absolutely loved the place! We had been staying at bed and breakfasts, hotels and hostels for the past month on a west coast road trip. Some of them were a bit scary and most of them were great, but Libretto Cottage was our favorite! We felt at home the second we got there. David (owner) greeted us and showed us around the property. He was informative but not overbearing. The cottage was perfect for us, it was the only place we had stayed that I truly felt at home. I loved having so much space and the washer and dryer to wash our clothes was so convenient. I really like the FULL kitchen for cooking and definitely took advantage of that. The scenery was breathtaking (literally) – take a walk up the hill behind the cottage and view the valley. There was a nice grill I wish we would have used on the patio, and we were able to use the hot tub from the neighboring cabin, since we were the only guests. Everything was spotless when we arrived and we had a great time chatting with Vanessa (David’s wife) about her art. We surfed during the day (Pismo Beach only 15 minutes away) and relax at night with wine and movies. The bed was VERY nice, so no sore back in the morning. Next time we go back, I’ll be sure to have a session with David (he does myofascial release work) and take advantage of the art classes they’re giving as well. The place is calm and quiet and I highly recommend the stay!
FYI – This place is GAY FRIENDLY! I didn’t think we would get any looks being in California, but we truly felt at home and accepted here!
