A Beautiful Setting to get away from Urban Life and Recharge

Secluded beautiful studio apartment with everything you need. Bring some food and your favorite beverage, and you will be set. The outdoor area is over 2000 sq. ft. with a smoker, grill, and fire pit. Great wineries like Justin, Halter Ranch, and Tablas Creek are within a 25-minute drive.

Our home is powered by one of the largest home solar plus battery projects in California with an onsite microgrid. Great area for hiking and mountain biking.

You will enjoy entertaining on the deck with an outdoor kitchen and spa that offer amazing lake views. For wine enthusiasts, there is a hobby vineyard featuring Cab and Merlot varietals on approx. 2/3 acre. Bring all your toys because there are two 5-acre easements for lake access located nearby.

We have a large floating dock that you can tie your boat to, fish off of or enjoy some swimming.

Living Green in a Beautiful Location
My wife and I had booked the location to celebrate my birthday and had made reservations for an event at a "local" (45 minutes) Paso Robles winery to celebrate same. Due to circumstances beyond the owner's control (weather), we were not able to attend our event because the run-off that flows across the main entrance to the property had risen above our vehicle's undercarriage not only preventing us from attending the scheduled function but, delaying our departure by 24 hours. The property is well-maintained and the host is available to address questions. I seem to recall the original listing touted the fact (to paraphrase), "The property is 100% 'green' and offers the opportunity to experience same." In that regard, it would be difficult to recommend "going green" as our experience was disappointing. Upon our arrival Friday afternoon, we noted the hot water temperature was scalding HOT. Saturday afternoon as I was showering it went from scalding to very cold within two minutes of the start of my shower and, even after our host "changed the batteries for the hot water heater", still no hot water available. The host is extremely accurate to recommend guests arrive during daylight hours . . . I did so and still had some challenges.

Perfect rural getaway
This was a perfect accommodation for a weekend getaway. There is a well stocked kitchen in terms of pots/pans/dishes and guests have access to an impressive outdoor kitchen area. The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. It is in a very rural area, which I think the hosts make clear in preparing guests in terms of the benefits of arriving during the day, bringing sufficient food supplies, and making sure you have enough gas. We stayed in winter and did not make use of the lake; however, it is very close to the lake of which they have amazing views.

Remote lakeside getaway tucked away in the hills
A quiet, rural setting in the hills surrounding Lake Nacimiento. Great if you want to get away from city traffic and bustle - it's almost an hour drive from the city on winding hilly roads, but a short walk to the lakeshore and surrounded by nature. Treacherous and confusing drive on narrow winding roads. Definitely make the drive during daylight hours! You'll receive very detailed driving directions when you book. PRINT THEM OUT! Cell reception is spotty throughout the drive, and you really don't want to be on these roads without the directions. Also, fill up on gas and get your groceries before starting on the rural roads. The property itself is a detached apartment beside the hosts' main home with a well-equipped kitchen and a good espresso machine. The hosts' grill, smoker, BBQ pit, and hot tub are available for guests. I spent plenty of time in the hot tub - it's A-OK! The hosts (Mitch and Judy) are kind, responsive and accommodating - they will happily help you with anything you need - coffee, supplies, and ideas on things to see and do nearby. Overall, it was a fun getaway for the 3 days I was there. Great if you're looking for a quiet and remote place where you can take it easy and get back to nature for a few days.

Quiet place for nice stay
It was a lot of work to get to the property since there was a road closure and no signal on the way. The property owner was good with communication and showed us around the property. The place is quiet and has an amazing view. I wish there was something to do nearby but mostly everything is far away. We did notice a musty smell when we entered but got used to it. This place is perfect if you want to get away and relax by the lake.

Great apartment In beautiful place
Host was very generous and accommodating. Great hike down to the lake and back, amazing grill area at the house and down on the dock. Kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, knives, and utensils. The bed is full sized, so maybe a bit small for some. The fancy espresso maker was the frosting on the cake!

Great place to stay!!
we had a wonderful over the Thanksgiving holiday. The property is just beautiful, we had full access to property and the floating dock on the lake. Our stay was peaceful and quiet and the property owners are very friendly and generous. We plan to return at some point in the future and we highly recommend that you do too. Thank you Mitch and Judy for everthing! ;-)

Gorgeous oasis
Loved running away for my birthday weekend. Mitch and Judy, kindest and most considerate hosts.They had shared in an earlier email gas and groceries about 40 minutes away, so we loaded up on groceries, enjoyed cooking in their apartment guest house kitchen. . Their apartment was gorgeous on a sprawling lake view property. Made us feel so comfortable and even let us bathe our dog Dixie in their-upscale pet spa. Loved their dock and enjoyed kayaking, swimming, playing with our water dog and grilling burgers. So restful and just perfect get away, and let us escape for a few days to another world. Thank you for sharing your oasis with us, we would love to come again.

I hope they don't mind return visitors!
You truly need to experience this vrbo rental all on your own because words could never describe this place. The dock was the absolute highlight of our trip although we didn't stay too long, I know exactly what I want to do when I return. I highly advise getting your food shopping before arriving since the nearest store is approx. 45 minutes away. Everything inside the rental was neat, clean, and organized. Sabrina, the host's daughter was very pleasant and willing to help.
