It was peaceful trip getting there is a nightmare especially during the night but in overall during the day it’s beautiful lots of nature surrounded if your a nature person.

Amazing spot, comfortable, private and clean with full access to a stocked dock and entire outdoor area. Great communication and welcome vibes. Zero complaints. Thanks Mitch we will return!

Do NOT book this property. Host does not communicate and driving conditions to property are unsafe. The host gave us the wrong gate code, there were multiple road closures with detours to property, and final road to property was wahed out. Host wanted us to “drive through” the flooded road. We did not feel this was safe so we booked another place. Host refused to refund. We wasted 45 minutes driving to a flooded road and had to drive 45 minutes back and book another place last minute. This was a nightmare of an experience. VRBO provided no help. Will never book through them again.

My husband and I wanted to experience Paso Robles but also stay at a quiet place away from city like traffic. Although this place is 50min away from Paso we really didn’t mind the drive. We had access to the owners boat dock and enjoy beautiful days in the lake. We also loved the view in front of the house, gorgeous sunrise! The room is comfortable for two people but it allows 3. We will definitely come back next summer. Thank you!

The house was very nice. A bit far from the campground. Lake crossing at night was very interesting. The place was very quiet.

It was exactly what I needed. Quiet, gorgeous views -the feel of nature. A great choice if you need to unwind and reset.

I cannot say enough about this incredible family. Because we were on a road trip, we didn’t get to print out the itinerary ahead of time. We had to call several times, but they they were so nice to let us called him several times and walk us through how to get there. They even fed us, because we didn’t see the PDF explaining there was no grocery stores around for 40 minutes. I don’t know what we would’ve done, they were so so lovely, and I cannot say enough about their wonderful hospitality. We hope to stay there again soon! 5 stars all the way

Pro - reasonably priced, dog friendly with large yard for dogs to run around. Con - not suitable if you want to explore Paso Robles; it will take an hour to drive from this place to downtown.

What a lovely location. The inside of the apartment was also beautiful. However, we couldn't get the microwave to work properly -- needs instructions. Also, more detailed instructions for the coffee maker would be helpful. Also, the wifi connection for the TV was spotty. Loved the views, house dogs, and wildlife.

The views are amazing and the accommodations were superb. Very tranquil and relaxing and I’m already looking forward to my next stay. It is pretty far up in the mountains but very much worth the journey of getting there. Aloha and Mahalo from a very satisfied guest.

Beautiful countryside drive to get there, beautiful setting. Nice owner, helpful, good communication. Cute little place and clean. We really enjoyed this place.

Great place to stay for a nice get away for a quiet peaceful stay.

The lake was very low when we were there. I should start out by saying at the time of covid and changing dates etc, Mitch and his wife were super accomodating. So the visit ended up being in early fall with 2 best friends and their dog. OMG I could have stayed a month. They were VERY low key. Mitch came over, was very hospitable and yet was perfect because we never felt under pressure etc. This was to me a perfect vaca. It is far out but we had silence and stars and each other and wonderfullness. We did run over to the public side of the lake and it wasn't too far. I can't wait to go back!!

It was peaceful staying in this small studio that is in the middle of nowhere. If you live in Paso Robles then renting this place to getaway from the city could be worth it. If you’re driving in from farther away, this becomes a grueling drive up a mountain that takes you so far from city center and other attractions you may want to enjoy. There is pretty much nothing to do but walk outside on the mountains or stay inside.

This is a great option for those wanting a remote getaway.

Very friendly and quiet and relaxing

It was perfect country getaway. Saw Deer, squirrels, skunks, wild turkeys, cows, quill and vultures. Thank you for your little slice of heaven. Beautiful property.

The drive to the property from the Hwy is about an hour. Lots of wineries and wildlife on the way.

This rental is a equivalent of a granny unit (separate structure) in the backyard of the owner's property. Some tips to help you prepare for your stay: Location: it is 45 min drive to get out of the woods and to downtown Paso Robles, so be prepared. Your gas tank should have enough to get in and out since there aren't any stations until you get out of the woods. Same goes for any food, snacks, or drinks. This would be a good location if you are planning to disconnect. For this same reason, activity choices may be confined to hiking, a scenic drive, winery hopping (must have passed by more than 10 of them on the way to the rental) or however you like to spend time on the lake. If you going to bring a trailer, note that some parts of the roads in the woods will have signs saying 8% grade. Lake access is downhill (some parts quite steep) from the rental, either by walking 0.5-1mile or drive down closer (gravel road). We didn't feel like we brought the right car (sedan) to get too close to the lake, as we didn't want to get stuck in any gravel/sand. Pet friendly, but may be encouraged to keep your pet with you during your outings per reading materials provided. Owners have a few huskies/mix, which they kept away from the yard during our stay so I felt safe letting my shihtzu in/out the rental at times without a leash. Check in: coordination with owner requested due to needing to put their dogs away. May need to coordinate entries/exits from their main gate depending on this situation. The view was great from their front yard though, since the location was so far up the hill. Owner allowed us to use their grill for our hot dogs and use their patio furniture to enjoy them in. Their front yard was beautiful and wonderful to enjoy if you don't mind that their front yard is under their bay windows/quite visible from within their main house. Star gazing there at night was nice as well, since it's so far away from light pollution.

Even the drive to get to the property is an adventure! Moving through some spectacular wine country and with lots of wildlife to see, we arrived at a quiet place for 2 nights. A really nice studio with a great coffee machine meant we didn't leave the property...we were happy to enjoy the peace and hot weather. Thanks!
