Perfect Getaway

My wife and I stayed at the artist retreat in Templeton to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and our experience far exceeded our expectations.The cottage was charming and well-stocked, and the fresh flower bouquet was an unexpected touch, making it feel like a true home away from home.The location and views were simply incredible. We spent much of our time on the front porch, soaking in the beautiful scenery, fresh air, and watching the wildlife.It was the perfect getaway for us as a couple—a peaceful escape from the daily grind, crowds, and traffic.We absolutely loved our stay!

Quiet and special

we were looking for a getaway that would be a relief from all the construction and digging with its accompanying noises and dirt/dust that was the current standard on our street at home. We found it!…and more. The house is well-supplied and the owners are super responsive to any need. When they deliver a requested item, they will leave it near the cottage and text you the location. Your privacy and peace are their first concern. We will be going back and soon!

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.

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.

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.
