About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet, Stand-alone Country Granny Cottage near the Village,

Your check-in will be accomplished via Keypad Deadbolt and ring doorbell camera. Your stay will be in our private, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, approximately 850 square foot, stand-alone granny cottage.

As you enter the abode you are greeted by the warm and inviting colors of our Southwest – Native American Heritage motif. This is the large open and airy Living Space with its vaulted ceilings & skylights. There is a 55” flat screen TV. Amazon eero mesh Wi-Fi & Charter/Spectrum High Speed 300 mbps Internet. There are also a CD player w/radio, books, card games, couch, daybed, chair and ottoman.

On the left is the spacious kitchen and small dining area that is equipped with almost everything you’ll need to prepare your own culinary delights. 20 cubic foot Refrigerator/Freezer, Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Coffee and filters, Gas Cook-Top, New Electric Oven, new pots & pans and more…. and there’s a ton of storage space for your own delectable goodies. We also have a Beach GO-Bag and Pic-Nic basket for you to borrow for those exploration destinations.

The bathroom has a big shower stall equipped with safety bars (no tub). You will also find a hairdryer, soap and shampoo and plenty of clean towels.

The large bedroom is decorated in a tropical island theme with its King Size platform bed (Firm) and huge mirrored closet. Open the slider to access the large smi-private patio. The patio offers sweeping easterly views of our two and a half acre ranchita and Poorman Canyon. Great place to sip wine and enjoy our almost nightly sunsets.

The Chalet is equipped with central heating (no A/C) with programmable thermostat, and ceiling fans in both living-room and bedroom.

All of this is within hiking distance of the charming village of Arroyo Grande.

To remain completely transparent in my listing I want to disclose to future guests that there is a small construction project underway next door that could impact the normal tranquility we enjoy here in the canyon. Fortunately, the worst part has passed so minimum disturbances can be expected. My apologies ahead of time for the inconvenience.

Sleeping Accommodations
The Chalet is equipped with 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Daybed, and a six foot couch, and can sleep (3)three adult comfortably, (4)four adults in a pinch. Pricing is the same for 1-4 adult guests, however, please inform us of the number of guests that will be booked into the Chalet so we can provide the proper level of amenities.

When booking your reservation please be sure to add names and contact information for all guests in your party, especially if you will be arriving at different times.

The Chalet is part of a three-building compound, the main house, garage/guestroom/sunroom, and the Chalet. Residing on the property, I can be available to accommodate any questions or needs that may arise during your stay, but also far enough away to ensure our mutual privacy. This is not a "party house". We prefer to rent to, responsible, friendly people and open our doors to all!
As Chez Chalet Ritz is “A Work in Progress” we must limit guest access to the Chalet and 2-acre Rachita. The barnyard is off limits to guests.
Golden Hawk Lane is a shared access private road that services two other residencies other than our own. My neighbors ask that you please respect their privacy and not enter their property at 875 & 885 GHL. Thank You

This was a wonderful holiday. The cottage was spacious, clean and cozy with all of the necessities for cooking if desired. The location was perfect with easy driving to the coast or inland. This area has lots to see and do and kept us busy all 4 days. Our host kept in touch. I highly recommend Chez Ritz.

We found the Cottage to be exactly as described. It was very clean and all essentials were provided. The location was great for us as it was 71/2 miles from SBP airport, just a few miles from Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo and several vineyards. Marvin was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. As an older couple we struggled a bit with the TV remotes finding the channels/programs we normally watch. I would recommend this property for rental.

Our stay at “the little yellow house,” as my son called it, was excellent. The vibe was very welcoming the moment you drove up. It was easy to find, check in and check out was very easy. It was well stocked, instructions were well written and Marvin was a great host and very communicative. We had a great stay and would highly recommend Chalet Chez Ritz.
