We gladly welcome all families, couples, and outdoor adventurists seeking a once in a lifetime experience in the coastal mountains of Central California. Stone Mountain Retreat is a licensed residential vacation rental property in the county of SLO [LIC# 6006917], and offers a 200-acre getaway landscape. Recently purchased from an amazing family who loved and stewarded the land for over 100 years, this space has been passionately co-created with loving intent to provide our guests a safe harbor to connect with God, self, and loved ones.

As you make your way to the cabin, your adventure starts with your journey up a ~3-mile dirt road [Note: Low ground clearance vehicles are not recommended due to dirt speed bumps installed prior to reaching the property]. In a matter of minutes, you’ll find yourself surrounded in the most beautiful landscape on the coast that sets the stage for complete relaxation. We highly recommend taking the drive in with the radio off, sunroof open if you have one, and windows rolled down as it enhances the experience of hearing nature, creeks flowing from the mountains next to your vehicle, and catching the shadows of the sun peeking through the canopy of oak, sycamore and laurel trees covering the open road to this tucked away sanctuary in the mountains. It truly is the central coast’s Secret Garden, as the plush green ecosystem is well known for breathing life into all that come and visit.

As a guest, you’ll get to experience many of the friendly animals on the property - deer, foxes, wild turkeys, lizards, and a variety of birds such as the red-tailed hawks, blue jays, hummingbirds, sparrows, woodpeckers, robins, finches, and great-horned owls.

Although minutes away from local attractions and adventures of the beach and downtown SLO, guests will have the unique experience of true seclusion. Our rental provides privacy to be free, awake the adventurous heart, and remind us all that it is okay to be a kid again.

4. Bring the Entertainment Outdoors (Day and Night) – Our deck area has been set up to entertain and build fond memories. Our thought was, how could you have a mountain getaway without a comfortable area outside to entertain your guests? You just can’t. With thought of comfort and relaxation, we wanted every inch to enhance the experience the property provides, while aiming to be a functional extension of the cabin. The seating arrangements and throw blankets offer the right setting for great conversations and connections – whether during eating meals or enjoying some locally picked spirits from Kelsey’s See Canyon Vineyard down the road. And because we enjoy what the evening brings, we carefully brought lighting into our design. As the sun sets, remote activation transforms the property into a landscape lighting ambiance while still giving guests the experiencing of connecting to the moon and stars above.

VACATION RENTAL AGREEMENT/LIABILITY WAIVER: While our primary focus is to create a space that rejuvenates your spirit, there are various rules and policies that must be covered to protect all parties involved and ensure a safe, healthy, and successful stay.
