The Oakdale Ranch was the perfect hideaway for my husband and I's four day weekend! The house was…read moreso cute, the bed and pillows super comfortable, and the area so quiet made it relaxing and romantic. We made coffee, eggs and toast in the kitchenette every morning and were sent off by Lulu and Pono (the two ranch dogs) before we left for our daily activities. The house is in close proximity to many of the Paso wineries, 30 min to Morro Bay, and 10 minutes to downtown Paso Robles which made it easy to take mid afternoon naps before the next activity. The last day we drank our wine in the Saloon and loved all the interesting artifacts and history. We can't wait to come back in the fall for another visit!

DO NOT BOOK from this company. They are not interested in fixing any mishap that occurs during…read moreyour stay in a professional manner. Nor do they right their wrongs. Upon arriving to the rental after a long day of travel, we were stunned to find luggage belonging to OTHER people in our reserved rental. It was highly concerning how these other people were able to access the rental in the first place given the code for entry is based on the last four of your cell phone number. When I finally got a hold of a representative and explained what we observed, the representative had the audacity to nonchalantly tell me to move the other uncontracted patrons' belongings into the living room so that when they returned from a concert at God knows what time that night, they can just come into our rental to get their stuff. I'm sorry but WHAT? You want me to allow strangers into my rental I paid for? They clearly did not care for our discomfort or safety to even suggest this. I had to insist the rental company send their own people to clean out these patrons' belongings and take photos to prevent any liability on my part. That same night, after they claimed no other code could access the house, I immediately told them I wanted a full refund for the first night stay. The representative said the owners will call me on Monday morning to discuss. That phone call never came. AFTER I filled out their survey, I got an email saying they were refunding $100 and a $200 credit towards a future stay. I emailed back immediately and stated I had already asked for a full refund and in light of everything we endured, that is what is appropriate. My email was ignored for a whole day. It wasn't until my friends started leaving reviews detailing the FACTS of what happened that the rental company then emailed me back stating they removed the offer of the future discount based on our feedback and that they are no longer going to consider additional refund. Unprofessional - you speak the truth and they hold that against you and don't do what is right. I am leaving a screenshot of that email on my review for EVERYBODY to see. They cannot claim that as of yesterday was when I first asked for the full refund for the first night - I asked for it the first night we were trying to check in! It's been days. Absolute TRASH company. Go stay at another rental or hotel. In the least, if you have to deal with unprofessional management, you will be SAFER

First I would like say, the property we stayed in, itself, was beautiful and centrally located…read more That being said, I will NEVER use this company again. My girlfriends and I drove more than five hours for our weekend getaway. When we arrived at our property around 5:30 pm we discovered someone else's belongings in our cottage. And I'm not talking about just their suitcases in the living room. Their food was in the refrigerator, toiletries in the bathroom, belongings in the bedrooms and dining room and THANK GOD no one was in the house. This was completely shocking as the entry code to the house was supposed to be the last four digits of my friend's phone number. My friend who booked the cottage tried to call the host and no answer. After 15+ minutes, she got ahold of the vacation rental manager. This person eventually figured out that the people whose things were in our cottage actually belonged in the cottage next door. How did they get in? The vacation rental company sends the codes out to these electronic locks. So they used THEIR code to enter OUR cottage. Safety much? And if that was not enough, the vacation rental manager contacted the renters who advised they were at a concert until late that evening. The rental agency had the audacity to say it was okay for us to just move all their belongings to the living room so these strangers could come back into the house, at whatever time, to retrieve their belongings! Absolutely NO! After much back and forth until nearly 7pm, the vacation rental manager decided they would come to the house themselves and move the belongings to the correct cottage. They then, allegedly, wiped all codes from the keypad and changed the code to only to my friend's phone number. You would think the host or the vacation rental agency would want to make this right by refunding at least the first night's fee. Nope! Here's a $100 refund. Newsflash, not only does that not cover the first nights cost, that doesn't cover the cost of the dinner we had to leave and purchase out when we brought food to cook in our cottage. They also gave a $200 credit to a future rental that will never be used. Beware if you still choose use this company. There's a lot I can overlook but safety is not one of them.

Beautiful hotel ideally located. And dog friendly! Our room was spacious and comfortable and…read morespacious, with a gas fireplace, bathtub and big bathroom. We were in room 201, and it was very quiet. The breakfast was complimentary but not that exciting. Had a cocktail in the outside bar, and it was very nice with all the fires.

A lovely place to stay and we will definitely stay again when we visit Paso Robles again.

From the outside, it's rather unassuming, but once you go in the front doors, the inner real beauty of this location is revealed. The courtyard is simply amazing, and like a bubble in space and time that offers a refuge from the outside world. In the evening the fireplaces are burning with hardwood every night and they offer fresh made s'mores to hotel guests. There's actually a s'mores menu. The whole environment is almost like something from a movie. They've also got a wonderful library that is tastefully appointed with many wonderful and interesting different books to read. It definitely invites you to sit down and snuggle by the fire with a good book. Such a cozy feeling! You can also select some candy for a snack. The rooms themselves are also beautiful and the bedding looks nice. Though I will say for me personally the pillows were really uncomfortable, and they had a rough spun duvet which smelled musty on the inside like it hadn't been washed in quite awhile. It looked and smelled like they were washing the sheets and the blanket but not the duvet itself. They also offer breakfast in the morning, but it's a little bit later than some other places so if you have to get an early start, then you probably won't be able to catch it. Overall I really enjoyed the stay and would say this experience is really good for the boutique traveler that is looking for a peaceful, unhurried trip.

Only next time, instead of going out for wine, we will stay in and enjoy the ambiance of the building and our terrace. Chef Wills and Bootsie will make sure you enjoy yourself. Down to earth, but worldly in their knowledge and hosting. It was pure luxury.

Our family had the most incredible stay at Kindred Oak Farm in Paso Robles. From the moment we…read morearrived, we were welcomed by Lisa Peach, who is one of the kindest, warmest people we've ever met. She immediately made us feel at home with her gentle spirit and genuine hospitality. We later met Rob, Lisa's husband, who was just as kind and welcoming. Lisa was especially sweet with our daughter--she spent time showing her around the farm, baking together in the kitchen, and exploring the beautiful herb garden. It meant so much to us to see that connection. The entire property is peaceful and stunning, with gentle rolling hills, goats, chickens, and cows (though we didn't spot the cows this time!). We also had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast most days with their wonderful chef, Dominique, who made such delicious food--everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It was the perfect way to start each day. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations--from the thoughtful details throughout the property, to the calm, rejuvenating atmosphere. Kindred Oak Farm is a hidden gem that we will always hold close to our hearts. Thank you, Lisa and Rob, for a stay filled with kindness, connection, and unforgettable memories.

It felt like we were visiting family or friends and we truly felt at home. The cottage looks like it is from a fairy tale and it is as perfect inside as it is outside. No detail has been overlooked to be sure that the guests have everything (and more!) that they need. Sitting right amidst the beautiful vineyards, it is like looking at a postcard. Every inch of the cottage is immaculate and looks brand new. The interior has been done tastefully with great attention to detail. From the high quality appliances and furniture to the smallest details in the bathroom. Seriously, nothing has been overlooked! This quiet and serene location is just close enough to restaurants, shopping and wine tasting but you will feel like you are "walking in the clouds".

Bob Dunning is a great host and responds quickly to texts. There is an honor bar featuring their wine and because we never made it to their tasting, had to try. The villa is fully stocked with dishes, wine openers, glasses, mini fridge and reverse osmosis drinking water. Their air conditioning and heater work great, and we left windows open at night. I will use the most common review cliche and say, "the Dunning Guest Villa is a hidden gem in Paso"and that we will most definitely be back. Thank you Dunning estates for your hospitality.

I'll preface my review by saying with these types of motel conversions they can be excellent, or…read morejust miss the mark, and that can be deeply personal. We stayed at another converted motel in Paso on our last visit (Farmhouse - which we loved) but we wanted to be a bit closer to the square so we decided to try Stables Inn. Now you do get exactly what it looks like in their photos - which is fine. But just the quality of everything isn't the best. The rooms are small and the bedding and finishes are just not great quality. The bathroom very tiny, no working exhaust fan and the room itself just had one tiny window so it just felt a bit claustrophobic for two people. The staff experience was a bit mixed and could use some polishing. The positives: You are walking distance to the square. There is an interior common area which is a nice lounge. The weather out was awful so we escaped and hung out in the lounge for a bit to get out of our room. They do have an outside common area as well but you're literally on the side of a main road on an 'island' in the middle of the parking lot. I am not sure even in good weather I'd feel comfortable sitting there. If being walking distance to the square is a priority, and you aren't spending much time in your room this might be fine for you. We ended up staying our third night at the Farmhouse Motel which is just a bit further down the road and couldn't recommend it more. Everything is so well done and priced very comparably.
