MOUNTAIN TOP GETAWAY : Best View In SLO! : Pets welcome
MAKING MEMORIES WITH AN UNFORGETTABLE VIEW !
The "Irish Hills House" at the top of Prefumo Canyon has the Best View in SLO with stunning 180-degree panoramas stretching from ocean, valley, mountain and cityscape. The view is famous and tourists and locals alike stop at the vista point turn off. The Irish Hills House is above the Prefumo vista point, at the top of the mountain and has a fantastic view!
Our pet friendly vacation rental is conveniently located to 15 minutes to SLO (DT and Cal Poly), 15 minutes to the ocean (Avila Beach) and half way between LA & SF. We are near wonderful activities, wineries and experiences.
The most common guest comment, "The photos do not do the views justice!". You can get to know the property at @bourbonandcider (your four legged Golden Retriever Assistant Hosts) and @visitvista (the official IG) - we post daily!
Irish Hills House has two bedrooms upstairs with dormer ceilings, one is small with a floor queen bed, ideal for children or a short adult. The other bedroom has two queen beds. In addition, there is a king bed downstairs (not private) in the common living area. The space can accommodate 8.

We store two additional queen size futons and a 'Pack n' Play' for babies. There are bathrooms on each level, a fully outfitted kitchen and a large outdoor deck. There are great views from every window. Fully equipped kitchen for family dining. I think the kitchen window must have one of the best views ever for washing dishes! :)
We are on the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy. 1). The coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF. Our road (Prefumo Canyon) turns into See Canyon and leads to Avila Beach. There is a short 15 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!
We are on 8 mountain top acres with world class views, hikes and wildlife right outside your door. Barbecue, share a meal and wine on the deck or picnic down by the raised garden beds. We invite our guests to enjoy fresh vegetables and eggs from the gardens and henhouse, so help yourself! In addition to our chickens, we have a pet tortoise named 'Walter' (Everyone loves Walter) and a Koi Pond in front of the Irish Hills House.
The vacation rental is well suited to romantic & girls getaways, family friendly & Cal Poly parents stays, adventure seekers & coastal journeys. We love dogs here!
This is a dedicated VRBO, which is professionally cleaned before each guest's arrival with clean and fresh, sheets and towels. The house is maintained in pristine condition in preparation to offer a 'hotel-clean' experience amongst breathtaking mountain-top views in nature and tranquility.
The Irish Hills House is across a deck from our main home. We respect boundaries and the experience is intimate and free of distraction.
We run at almost full occupancy, so if you see an opening and you are ready - please feel free to Instant book! Also, please feel free to follow up with any questions - none are silly :)!
See you soon!

The views were absolutely amazing! The house was great, had everything we needed and being super dog friendly was great. Greeted by Ryan when we arrived with suggested areas which was amazing. There is a dog friendly beach which was perfect.
Everything about this property is AMAZING…the views, the location, the comfy beds and well-stocked kitchen, the host, EVERYTHING. Stayed with my two senior pups and had the most peaceful mini vacay ever. Location is perfectly located between SLO and Avila Beach and the drive down the hill is gorgeous in both directions. Can’t wait to return!
So happy to have had the chance to stay here! The views and the welcoming host made this day so perfect. The place was clean and had all the comforts we could think of covered. Definitely looking forward to staying here again if the opportunity presents itself! We would recommend thisPlace for those looking for a quiet destination with amazing views.
The driving instructions were beyond appreciated. It’s secluded-ish, but so gorgeous. We also brought one more car than we anticipated but the host was able to accommodate, which was great! We were able to see a bit of the scenery despite the rain, but even the cloud bank was spectacular. There was ample space inside and was just ultimately so cozy! (Side comment, we saw a rainbow as we were checking out and it was a beautiful way to end our stay).
Fabulous view, particularly at sunrise when low level fog filled the valley below. Ryan, the host was awesome. Very nice, friendly man who was very knowledgeable about the area. He was fun to talk to.
The view is incredible! Enjoyed sightings of deer and foxes. Convenient to all your shopping needs. Management is extremely accommodating and responsive. Will book again.
Our family stay included two grandparents, two middle aged parents, and our two year-old grandson. The accommodations worked very well for all of us and the location and coastal mountain view was fabulous!
This rental house exceeded our expectations! The host was outstanding. The views were incredible. The house was very cozy, roomy and perfect. We'd return in an instant. Thanks Ryan, Bourbon and Cider for making this our summer highlight!
Ryan was a great host with lots of care and interest during his orientation to the place. He left us alone the rest of the time. The views were gorgeous and beds very compfy. Sweet dogs and easy stay.
We booked this gorgeous unit for a birthday weekend celebration. It was perfect-secluded, private, well appointed (we’re cooks), with breathtaking views. If you want a better than home “stay-in-cation” this place is for you!
Gorgeous views from the kitchen, balcony, and living area. We enjoyed the resident tortoise and the sweet dogs. There is not a traditional bedroom layout, but rather cozy alcoves and an attic with vaulted ceilings that contain the two queen beds. It worked perfectly for our family. Keep in mind that the home sits high up in the canyon, so allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes to drive up to the house. There are multiple short-term rentals on the property, and the very kind owner also lives on site, so while it feels remote, it is not entirely private. There were even coffee beans and a grinder provided, which made it easy to enjoy a really good cup of coffee while taking in the morning views. We stayed here with two small children, and they really liked it.
Ryan (and Bourbon & Cider) were wonderful and attentive hosts. The property was amazing, communication top notch, and views could not be beat. Bed was incredibly comfortable and everything you need is there in the unit. I will definitely be coming back!
The house is on top of a hill that has an amazing view. So good to wake up and watch the hills and Morro bay appear as the sun rose and clouds melted away. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Ryan was wonderful and welcoming.
We enjoyed beautiful views, a generous host and great animal friends! This was a perfect relaxing location for a family get-together. Property was better than advertised.
