PerfectionPhotos can’t capture the beauty and serenity of the Artist’s Cottage. We’ve stayed in quite a number of vacation homes and this is truly a standout. The driveway runs up through a vineyard to the cozy and well appointed cottage with a million dollar view, and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy it all.Templeton wine trail, SLO, Paso Robles and all the amazing coastal towns at your fingertips, and an amazing private retreat to come home to.Wonderful hosts as well.

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.

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!

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.
