A Wonderful Wine Country Escape Near Paso Robles

My wife and I recently enjoyed a mini-honeymoon at the Artist Vineyard Cottage and had a fantastic time. The private cottage is on a secluded hilltop overlooking the Santa Lucia mountain range and the gorgeous green bucolic valley below. The views are spectacular. If you're looking for a secluded, calm, and relaxing retreat in the Paso Robles wine country, this is the place!The cottage is about twenty minutes outside the hustle and bustle of central Paso Robles, but just a few minutes from several exceptional wineries. The cottage is also about 30-45 minutes from Cambria and Hearst Castle, and there are several options for day trips and exploration of California's Central Coast.The cottage was tastefully decorated and furnished with everything you could need for a romantic and relaxing stay. Lisa and Randy, the property owners, were warm, welcoming, and very attentive.The Artist Vineyard Cottage comes with our highest recommendation, and we look forward to visiting it again soon.

Short, but Sweet

This was our second visit to the cottage, though, unfortunately, we could only stay for three days. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the area. This property is, without a doubt, one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need!

Exactly as advertised. Very comfy, and everything a kitchen could need. Small yet felt spacious. Only downside was constant traffic noise from busy road nearby. We enjoyed the hummingbirds and flock of wild turkeys.

Our 6th Stay at the Dream House

My wife and I have now stayed at Lisa & Randy's cottage 6 times--each time for about a week. Although we travel a lot, we've never had a rental we love as much as this one. The house is absolutely serene and comfortable, well equipped with top-notch appliances and amenities (including central heat and high-speed wifi), and beautifully located on top of a hill overlooking vineyards, oak-covered hillsides, and the coast range beyond. We spent hours hanging around the house, both inside and out, reading or sipping wine, and we cooked all our meals here. The location can't be beat: up in the mountains away from it all, but only 20 minutes from the beach and 20 minutes the other way to world-renowned wineries. Cambria is a great town, too: good natural foods, very arty-crafsty. Lisa and Randy are wonderful hosts. They're generous and reliable, fun to hang out with if they have the time, but also respectful of their guests' privacy. We adore this property, and can't wait to come back.

Perfect for us. A 10+++

This cottage checked all the boxes for us. Loved the elevated position, views, privacy, and the variety of outdoor seating locations. The interiors were understatedly lovely, and in excellent condition. Felt the cottage was more beautiful in real life than in the VRBO photos. Also it seemed more spacious than we expected from the square footage. Communications with Lisa were prompt, thorough and warm personally. An example of her care and follow-through: when booking I asked if the TV included Tennis Channel. She said it did not, but that she would look into it before our arrival. Lo and behold, it was available when we turned on the TV. She had upgraded the package. That is just one example to me of outstanding property management. Whenever in the Paso Robles/Templeton area, we will always stay there. We flat out loved it.

Weekend Getaway in Cozy Mountain Wine Country

My friend and I had been hearing about Paso for the last couple of years, and took the chance to enjoy a long weekend. My mother decided to join last minute - which was a great addition. The property is clearly cared for well and the hosts are active in communication throughout the stay. Conveniently located to several wineries and wonderful scenic views, this is a great space and we’ve already started talking about our next visit.

Just wow =)

What a great place, one of the rare cases it turns out to be better than the pictures. Communication with Lisa was great and she provided a nice little guide with recommendations since it was our first time in the area, which we ended up following almost everything =). The cottage is great, equipped with everything you need and the views are awesome. We got rain and sun and it is great either way. You almost don't want to leave the cottage to explore the area. Since this was our first time in the region we did went to spend the day out but making sure to get the sunset at the cottage, highly recommended. Next time will definitely spend some days just enjoying the cottage.

Excellent place to relax and unwind

This property is in an ideal location to get away. This is my second time here and I will return in the future. The house is immaculately clean. The furnishings are very impressively Zen. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views in every direction. Brand new grill and plenty of seating outdoors to enjoy the views. Make sure to schedule in time just to enjoy the house and unwind.

Beautiful Cottage

We stayed for 4 nights in September 2023. The cottage is wonderfully located in a peaceful country location and offers spacious accommodation and a comfy bed. From this location we visited Cambria and the Pacific Coast Highway northwards, Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo. Moonstone Beach is particularly recommended. This time around we did not do wine tastings but the choice of vineyards available is huge. We recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again, if in the area.
