House of Another Tyme
Bed and Breakfast

Arroyo Grande Bed and Breakfast on the California Coast

Located on approximately one-fourth acre of hillside with gardens modified to allow sunlight in and create a tranquil area containing natural rock walls plus exotic finches and canaries, the House of Another Tyme reflects its name. Built circa 1916 by Mr. Dieffenbacher for the Ervin family, the bed and breakfast is a single wall construction home of Victorian style. It was renovated by the Poole family in more modern times -- bathrooms and the kitchen were upgraded, while incorporating a contemporary design with skylights and whitewashed ceiling.

The House offers a choice of three unique guest rooms. All rooms have private baths and queen-sized beds. Furnished with antiques, special touches such as rich walnut and cherry period pieces, a private deck with a fantastic view, "sitz" tub, and French provincial accents can be found throughout various rooms. Enjoy a cup of tea in the sun room overlooking the village and green hills beyond. Browse the many books and relax by the huge stone fireplace in the living room. Wireless Internet access is avaialable too.

A full country breakfast is served between seven-thirty and nine each morning that includes fruit, juice, muffins or breads, a delicious main dish, and coffee, tea, or milk. Afternoon refreshments are provided.

Ocean and lake boating, fishing, hiking, camping, windsurfing, sailing, swimming, golf, and water-skiing offer a wide variety of activities and recreation. Many festivals are held throughout the year. Go explore the Village, its only one block away. Visit the antique shops and boutiques about town. Feast in one of the fine restaurants nearby.

House of Another Tyme is situated in the village of Arroyo Grande, which was incorporated July 10, 1911. The earliest inhabitants of the Arroyo Grande Valley were the Obispeno Chumash Indians. The Valley was still occupied by the Chumash Indians at the time of contact with the first Spanish explorer, Juan Cabrillo. During the Colonial settlement of California, the Arroyo Grande Valley became separated into two major ranches which were granted by the Mexican Government. In 1862, the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors established the township of Arroyo Grande.

The Village of Arroyo Grande still retains the olden feel and look of an era passed. Treat yourself to a special respite at the House of Another Tyme Bed and Breakfast. Your hosts, Jack and Judy, wish to make your stay a treasured memory.
