Chateau Noland was beautiful the moment we stepped onto the property. We couldn't stop thinking about it and booked it for a weekend for our wedding venue. The property consisted of a main house and quarters in the back with more rooms, which we were able to have our family stay with us for the weekend. The area was beautiful, green, private. It was definitely a perfect getaway for a special occasion. Lindsey was a pleasure to work with. She was very quick to respond to any questions we had prior to and on the weekend of the wedding. read more

Best wedding or private event location in Central California. We had our wedding this past April, and it was one we and our guests will never forget. From the moment we stepped on the property, my wife and I knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. The chateau was beautiful inside and out. The vegetation was well-maintained, which made our wedding 1000% more attractive. I don't want to forget about our fantastic host, Lindsey. She was great from start to finish. She was very nice and welcoming and made sure we were fully equipped and ready for the big day. We can't thank them enough for hosting us and providing us with such a beautiful venue. read more

The accommodations at chateau Noland are absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful escape for a weekend on the coast. It's quiet it's clean. It's beautifully decorated and so charming the perfect place to unwind and relax. This beautiful setting is like you're staying at your very own castle. There's so much gorgeous ground to explore and unlike a hotel it's very peaceful and quiet. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated, it was just such a pleasant stay! read more

Amazing place to book your wedding venue! Every bit of the place is so picturesque. My husband and I's favorite area is the bridge. It's so romantic especially during sunset. There is 11 bedrooms in total I believe so it's great to have it be booked for a wedding so you and your guests can get ready at the venue. Lindsey is so nice and easy to talk to from beginning to end. She is so helpful and very accommodating. You won't regret booking this place! read more

We had an incredible experience at Chateau Noland. The property is gorgeous on its own, so we kept decor simple and everything still looked perfect. Being able to have our family and wedding party stay on site turned the celebration into a full weekend, not just one night. The flow between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was smooth and easy for our guests, including those using wheelchairs and walkers. The owners and staff were kind, attentive, and organized from start to finish. Their suggested vendors were excellent and made planning straightforward. It was everything we dreamed of. read more

On September 28, 2024, my beautiful fiancé and I celebrated the most important day of our lives, our wedding day. The day started with excitement and anticipation with friends and family at the most amazing location in the Central Coast, Castle Noland. As our guest arrived they were greeted with beautiful red Bougainvillea's and purple morning glories throughout the Castle. We shared our vows on top of the hill surrounded by beautiful florals and a bridge over looking a freshwater creek. Our horse drawn carriage ride was amazing and our reception was held on the pristine manicure lawn. Our wedding day at Castle Noland was definitely a celebration to remember and cherish for many years to come. Thank you Lindsey Noland, for allowing us the opportunity to celebrate our wedding day at your beautiful Castle Noland. Mr & Mrs Santos and Shay Martinez, San Luis Obispo, Ca. read more

I was a guest. The room didn't have enough towels for two people. I am happy I brought my own. One washcloth was for two people? Why only one??? Two Spiders were climbing the walls. Floor felt gritty like, did it need to be swept? Plastic flowers need to be dusted or rinsed with water. Plus other items need to be dusted too. If you needed something no one was to be found. Would I go back, no. I have no reason too. It is very dark at night. More lighting would be nice for those come there at night for the first time. Plus it would be nice for safety?? read more

We just left this amazing castle and it was quite the experience. Our nephew had his graduation celebration there and the staff was amazing! We stayed there for 3 days and felt like royalty the entire time. I can't say enough about this gorgeous palace. Definitely will recommend 10/10! read more

BED BUGS - DECEMBER 2021 - BE WARNED Staying at Chateau Noland (6445 Monte Rd, San Luis Obispo, CA) was a beautiful yet horrific experience for my party. After the first night, we spotted bed bugs. When the host, Dan Noland, stopped by, his reaction was "shit, we totally forgot to put the bug bags on the box spring! We had this place nuked on August 23rd." Come to find out, the Noland family has had multiple cases before ours - including a bed bug case in May of 2021 by one of their workers... Who lived on-site. Initially, Dan wanted to play off the bed bug situation: "Hotels deal with this all the time! They're just little bugs." When confronted by the entire group staying at the property, he agreed to either 1) refund our entire stay at the castle in full or 2) find us alternative accommodations. Instead, we received a text stating "I'd like you to stay", which we agreed to since we were already exposed, but requested an alternative room arrangement on the property. In following up with Dan and Sabrina Noland, they have not honored their agreement to refund us and have refused to give us our money back even through a formal Airbnb request. Futhermore, we know that guests are staying at the property after us per an exchange with the host when leaving. Even though there are confirmed bed bugs on the property! We also shared the bed bug news with Airbnb within 24 hours of the incident to abide by their Guest Refund Policy. Despite sharing pictures of bed bugs and the bites we have received, Airbnb has refused to refund us and is still allowing the listing to operate on their platform. Other problems included 1) the child in the group developed a cough and sniffles due to cold air since the window in the side room could not be closed (it was broken and open) and there was no space heater until the following morning when the host stopped by to see the bed bugs, 2) amenities including the grill outside were not working properly - there was no propane tank until the host brought one on the second day, 3) part of the party chose to fly home the second day due to the bed bug infestation, 4) most of our Saturday plans were canceled. This is a family business run by the children of the man who built Castle Noland. The "new management" referred to in other post responses is actually Dan Noland - the son of the man who built the property. I would not recommend you stay here. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND CASTLE NOLAND FOR A WEDDING VENUE!! My family and I are very disappointed in this venue and Chad is quite aware of the upcoming reviews. FILTHY, UNSANITARY CONDITIONS IN THE APARTMENTS! Dirt, grime, hairs, BLOOD stains on sheets and towels. DISGUSTING, STAINED SOFA BED AND ROLL AWAY BED! Couldn't use them since it was so bad! COLD SHOWERS THAT DONT DRAIN, CLOGGED SHOWER HEAD, NOT WORKING HOT WATER HEATER! Be prepared that for a wedding venue, there is NOT A FULL LENGTH MIRROR IN THE APARTMENTS. CLEANLINESS STANDARDS SET BY AirBnB are NOT BEING MET HERE!! We paid for a weekend wedding venue and were never told that PEOPLE LIVE UPSTAIRS!! Chad rudely sought out the mother of the bride near the END OF THE RECEPTION that was paid for until 10:00 pm. to tell her we needed to KEEP IT QUIET FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE!!??!! We had 30 mins left to celebrate!! He already had his $$$$$. Uncool and highly unprofessional. There's more, but it's sad to have to relive the tears that were shed over a wedding venue. Chad refused to consider any refund on the apartments which is why the need for a poor review. Keep searching brides! Don't settle. You deserve better. ( I had to choose a one-star rating to post.) read more

From the moment we booked Chateau Noland for our wedding--sight unseen--we knew it was a special place, but we truly couldn't have imagined just how perfect it would be. Located in the picturesque San Luis Obispo, the chateau itself exudes an elegant charm that is both grand and inviting. The grounds are impeccably maintained, with vibrant flowers and lush greenery creating a storybook backdrop for our special day. One of the highlights of our experience was the ability to stay on the property throughout the weekend. This not only allowed us to fully soak in the serene, fairy-tale ambiance but also provided a comfortable and luxurious retreat for our closest friends and family. The sense of privacy and exclusivity made our wedding feel even more intimate and personal. Lindsey and Dan, our gracious hosts, went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. They were incredibly accommodating, especially when we had to make last-minute changes due to unexpected rain. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of their service, from the initial planning stages to the final send-off. The value of what Chateau Noland offers is truly unmatched. The beauty of the venue, coupled with the exceptional service and the comprehensive amenities, made our wedding not just a day to remember, but a magical experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Chateau Noland for anyone dreaming of a perfect wedding. It's not just a venue; it's a destination where wedding dreams come true, and ours did, beautifully so. Thank you, Lindsey, Dan, and everyone at Chateau Noland for making our wedding genuinely unforgettable!. read more

DO NOT PLAN YOUR TRIP HERE!!! Awful business practices. I booked on 6/26 for a trip next Spring. They CHANGED my stay dates without my knowledge on 8/2 - NO consent from me and NO notification from them!! Then when I reach out to ask them to update my dates to the original booking: Daniel Noland says, "You are welcome to cancel if this new date doesn't fit your needs. Or book another VRBO listing or find a hotel. This booking is 10 months out so you have plenty of time." Now they are not canceling my reservation despite me asking them to. and instead are asking me to cancel. I'm assuming VRBO might provide some sort of negative host mark if they cancel since I've asked them to cancel twice already and they won't. I booked this to visit my little brother and sister who attend school there and yes, we booked months in advance to properly budget. read more

Château Noland - Here's a picture of just one of the bugs we found. Sparing you from looking at the bites. - Vacation Rentals Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Had my daughters wedding here yesterday. The grounds are beautiful and the main castle is roomy. This is an air B&B so you can stay there and have your even there. On our arrival, we learned that several people live on the grounds. This was never disclosed. Kind of an important detail when you pay that. Kind of money for a wedding. We were aware the event had to end by 10 on and that was the driving reason. We were warned the room we would be staying in had a hot water heater that keep going out. Several cold showers after relighting it 5 separate times. The sheets on the couch bed appeared to have dirt and grease in them and couch itself must have been 20 years old. Filthy and disgusting. No cleaning supplies or essentials in the cupboards. Very poorly stocked. At the end of the night 3 of us were talking in our room. A man who claimed to be the owner came by and asked if we could keep it down as families lived here. It was prior to 10 o'clock and I reminded him of his lack of Di locker and our rental of the venue hours. So, if you want to hold an event, great place. You want to sleep in a clean and warm place, this isn't the spot. read more

Beautiful!! You won't find anything like this on the central coast. The staff and owners are so caring and helpful in making it a magical experience. read more

Unfortunately due to our poor experience I can't give any stars. Though the on site manager was lovely and accommodating the owner was consistently the opposite. We rented the entire property for a wedding, the guest bathrooms were full of spiders, the apartments rented were dirty (stained sheets, in working water heater, showers didn't drain, stained furniture) and not all of our rented items were completed. Though the views are beautiful and architecture lovely, I would not recommend this castle of horrors to anyone for a venue or over night stay. read more

Castle Noland is a tucked away gem in a prime location, which was perfect for our planned intimate wedding celebration of 85 guests. You have the option of staying on the premises and this venue gives you more flexibility with the details for your event, unlike other venues. From the beginning and throughout our process the owner, Chad, has been understanding and flexible in working with us. This shows a lot about his character, especially during the unsettling times of COVID. The property itself is beautiful and is an unforgettable venue to host an event. read more

This was the WORST experience I've ever had. Upon arriving at the Castle, we found that the apartments had not been cleaned, forcing us to sleep in dirty, stained sheets WITH BLOOD ON THEM, using towels with hair on them, surrounded by unsanitary furniture, bathing stations that would not drain, broken heater systems, trash, and much more (photos attached). Chad, the owner, was absolutely unprofessional and had the opportunity to rectify the situation before we left this review. In this current health climate, guest safety should be #1, and it's clear that Castle Noland only cares to receive money, not to give service. At this point, I'm considering him a THIEF of over $700 for two nights in the two apartments. read more

Our wedding was A FAIRY TALE OF A DAY! Chad was amazing in his communication and I can't praise the on-site team, Jessie, Jade and Joe enough. They were helpful, available and facilitated not only our wedding day but our entire stay masterfully. I mean INCREDIBLE! And they are genuine and kind. What girl doesn't want to get married at a castle. Right? But my expectations were exceeded beyond words. Thanks Castle Noland for making our day so perfect!! read more

Wow, this past weekend was amazing. Chad helped us out in any and every way he could in preparation for the wedding, and for that we are SO thankful. Castle Noland is an amazing place, thank you for sharing it with us. The property managers are great people, and a huge help for the set up and break down. I would recommended Castle Noland to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue, or just an awesome place to stay. Beautiful, clean, helpful, great people to work with, and help make dreams into reality. Thank you! I can't wait for the next time we will be invited to pour on your property! read more

It was difficult to decide how to rate this review. Some parts were definitely a 5 star rating because of the beautiful backdrop for pictures and so many rooms for guests to stay in keeping loved ones close. We also loved the living area in the castle which accommodated so many of us. The pictures from the wedding are exquisite. Then there is the part where a 1 star rating comes in and that has to do with cleanliness and lighting in one of the suites in castle where we stayed. The carpet was filthy and the dirt on the baseboards in the bathroom was disgusting. There were three closets in the room and a storage room which was unlocked. That's the only place we could actually hang our clothes. The others were full of sleep mats and tv stand etc. The room upstairs was pretty appalling with rumpled carpet and unfinished ceiling. The pamphlet in the kitchen telling about surrounding areas and the castle itself was laminated and was so dirty, I hated to touch it. Those few things that got the 1 star rating are easily fixed to bring it up to a 5 star rating. In spite of all of the negative feedback, we thoroughly enjoyed our time but hope you take into consideration, our review. read more

When we looked at the pictures on the website, we were afraid of getting a 'This is Spinal Tap - Stonehenge' experience of being massively underwhelmed. WOW! Couldn't have been more wrong! This place is stunning. From making reservations through the 4-day stay, our host/owner/builder Chad was a complete professional. By the end of the stay, my British Heritage had come out fully and I was quite comfortable staying in a castle (all future communications should be addressed to 'Your Lordship'). It was so easy to take, that it was quite challenging going back to real life, mingling with hoi polloi, being at someone ELSE'S beck and call. Sigh.... This is an experience everyone should have sometime in their life, and San Luis Obispo is a lot closer than Cornwall. If you time it right during the rainy season, the hills are verdant Irish-green and the storms remind you of the English Coast! The Abundant Antiques and incredible attention to detail in the handcrafted architecture shows this place to be a true European Castle in the heart of the Central Coast. Twenty-five years in the making, it was lovingly designed as a weekend wedding location and is priced accordingly. For vacationers, the midweek rate is much more affordable. If you have two or three people it is no more than hotel rooms. AND ITS A CASTLE! read more

Attended a wedding last weekend and the venue is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a wedding/reception. There is a steep staircase from the parking lot to the castle so if you're not too mobile, be aware of this. Amazing views of the Avila Valley. read more

What great experience from the beginning to the very end. I rented this Air B&B location (including the two carriage lodges located on the property) for the weekend of our wedding this past Nov 2019. Mr Chad Noland is very respectful, polite and and as accommodating as a property owner can be. His on location staff is professional, helpful and available at all times. Mr Chads initial tour was amaazing and informative. His detail and pride is obvious throughout the house. I have lived in the area long enough to have observed the construction of beautiful locale. Mr Chad had every detail and concern we had about having a wedding with a 180ppl+ including Arrangements with a company just in case of Inclement weather. The price was the best and you cant beat the hospitality and care of the staff at Castle Noland. All our guests weekend throughly impressed. Thankyou!!!!! read more

It is currently 1:45am and I am sleeping in my car because the castle is infested with rodents. In the five hours I have been here I have seen a total of 11 mice walking, jumping, climbing etc... through the kitchen, bedrooms, living room, upstairs bedrooms and so on. There is a dead mouse in a trap behind the hidden passage door, ants crawling in hoards through the cupboards, and there is a periodic loud crunching (like that of a rat chewing) coming from the cabinets/kitchen island. Absolutely disgusting/terrifying and repulsive my dirty. read more
