Historic Chandler Ranch Estate

Welcome to Chandler Ranch. Established in 1884 and operating today as a working cattle ranch and equestrian center. We invite you to enjoy this unique San Luis Obispo County destination. The near 600 acre property accommodates both small and large groups, private events, retreats, corporate meetings, and more. From the stunning historic main house to the contemporary ranch house and charming original school house, this property offers a blend of lodging experiences. The space Chandler Ranch centers around its historic Victorian home built in 1884, originally owned by the Webster Family, full of local stories and community folklore. The home has been lovingly maintained with many original features yet includes many new amenities. Small and large groups can step back in time while enjoying the modern conveniences of this impressive estate home. Downstairs offers formal living and dining rooms, a charming parlor room with stunning original built-in cocktail bar, a guest room with king bed (sleeps two), two powder rooms (half baths), modern kitchen with butler’s pantry, breakfast nook, and staircase to the upper living areas.

Plus, two optional rollaway beds bring the total guests accommodations up to 12. Out on the patio and surrounding lawns, enjoy the cozy fire pit under the stars, industrial sized BBQ, separate detached modern catering kitchen, and outdoor dining options. Or just find a quiet spot in the shade for some personal R&R overlooking the original circle driveway, rose garden, established grounds, and nearby grazing fields. By contrast, the contemporary guest house offers a touch of modern and casual retreat lodging with tranquil views throughout the property and the neighboring ranch hills.
