The space When you stay at the 8 Mile House Deluxe, you will enjoy a sense of old California serenity with all of the modern comforts you could want, including four historically themed guest rooms, a scenic covered porch and a large outdoor patio, dining table and barbecue. Included with the 8 Mile House are two spacious apartments, The Stampede Loft and Buckaroo Flat. Elements of the original 19th-century structure are found in nearly every aspect of the property, while apple trees, pomegranate, persimmon trees and grapevines provide a timeless ambiance that is rooted in the ranch’s agricultural heritage. The standalone party barn is great for watching the game, serving up drinks and hanging out! The home sits on 3 acres, surrounded by hiking and biking trails located 5 minutes away. Built by the Bean brothers in 1877, this home is exactly eight miles from the mission town of San Luis Obispo—a meaningful distance at the time of its creation. Located at the north base of the steep Cuesta Grade on the original El Camino Real, the home was used as a hotel for travelers making their way up or down the grade. The travelers could park their heavily loaded wagons, seek overnight lodging and even rent extra teams of horses for their journey across the grade. Today, the 8 Mile House stands as a testament to Santa Margarita Ranch's tradition of “early California rancho hospitality.” Originally settled by Franciscan missionaries in the late 1700s, Santa Margarita Ranch is still one of California’s oldest continuously operated cattle ranches—and is today best known as the home of Ancient Peaks Winery. The 8 Mile House Deluxe ultimately reflects a love of history and a joy in sharing the ranch with others—a passion that is evident in all of the little details that make this place so special. The 8 Mile Deluxe includes the historical main house, the Stampede and Buckaroo Flat. The main house sleeps 8 and has 2 full bathrooms. Stampede and Buckaroo Flat are 100 yards from the main house. Both are newly remodeled and delightfully designed with a western flare. Stampede sleeps 4 and is a two bedroom, two bathroom upstairs apartment, while Buckaroo Flat sleeps 8 and is a 3 bedroom, two bathroom downstairs apartment. Located less than 20 minutes from Shell or Avila Beach, and Santa Margarita Lake (a great fishing spot), 5 minutes from wine tasting/zip ling and only 15 minutes from Downtown San Luis Obispo.***Five Star Coffee Program- We start your stay with a supply of coffee, filters, coffee pods, cream, and sugar for our provided drip and pod-style coffee makers onsite at every home. **Dogs are only allowed with an additional $25/night per dog fee.
