I reviewed Orchard Hill five years ago after our first visit and we just finished another amazing…read morestay at this beautiful property. While Orchard Hill no longer serves breakfast, we were lucky enough that MaryAnn, who is a retired chef, would be our hostess during our time here. She invited us to join her for a delicious Blueberry Creme Brûlée French Toast breakfast with sausage and fresh fruit On morning. Yumm! She's an excellent chef and great company. The Garden View room is spacious and cozy all at once. The private balcony looking over the property is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, or evening wine. We'll try not to let another five years go by before our next stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Carriage House - everything that we could possibly need was provided - your usual careful attention to have everything there, including decaf coffee and sweetener, as well as the very welcome cake, the vases of flowers and other details were much appreciated, and the bottle of wine was really excellent.  And everything everywhere was notably clean - kudos to the cleaning crew!

This past weekend we reserved the House of Zin. We occupied three rooms and having the privacy, tranquility and solitude this home offers is off the charts. The pricing was also advantageous. We used the kitchen for breakfast and snacks while eating elsewhere for dinner. The exterior deck is the perfect place to chat and share opinions about our day checking out the wineries while sipping on nectar of the GODS. This home is comfortable and is equipped with all the essentials. We are even planning to put the outdoor grill to use on our next trip out. We LOVE it here and how can we NOT return?

The grounds are beautiful and unique, featuring a lovely garden, expansive lawn and carefully curated outdoor patios overlooking valley views. Owners Neil and Gaye are not only hospitable, but excellent party planners and undercover gourmands. We were greeted us with sparkling ruby pomegranate mimosas, created as a signature drink for my party, and enjoyed a full bar, along with beautifully curated charcuterie board and hors d' oeuvres DJ Mackenzie kept the vibe perfect with her keen ability to dial into the crowd and give them exactly what they're looking for- during cocktail hour, dinner and especially with dancing. Just let her design the soundtrack to your party.... The fanfare ground to a halt as Gaye surprised me with a delicately flavored almond lemon cake topped with pistachio rose petal fondant icing. Having my birthday at this magical place was one my friends and I will never forget... If you're looking for a venue that stands out from the usual options and offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, I can't recommend Lilac Farm enough. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We were very surprised at how large it was. We had a full kitchen, a large living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a sitting/reading area on the second floor. There was a desk for working, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the furnishings were done in exquisite taste! The Cottage was spotlessly clean. The hosts, Gaye and Neil, are gracious, very welcoming, and helpful. The farm itself is lovely, with flowers everywhere. Very highly recommended!

This winery was chosen for the start of my tour of 4-5 Paso Robles wineries, not necessarily for…read moreits wines, but especially for its spectacular hilltop view of the surrounding valleys. As a bed and breakfast, too, this winery offered a nice Viognier that I picked up for my neighbor as well as some blended reds whose varietal names escape my wine-muddled memory. The tasting host was a cheery guy who informed us that his wine club was a mob-themed club sporting fedoras and a life time of dedication lest they be excused closed-coffin style. This winery doesn't knock your socks off with a to-die-for grape, but you will leave here with a good taste nonetheless.

This place has a B&B and that is what this review is for…read more We only stayed one night in the Tuscany room. It is very large. The bathroom is even larger. Huge walk in shower, two sinks, a claw foot tub. A room for the toilet. The room has a fireplace and flat screen TV, a large closet room. Room is upstairs. There are three rooms for the place. We stayed during the big state fair in town and I believe the people in both of the other rooms went to the fair. I did get a bit scared when the couple down stairs was coming home at 3am. Their door is outside but it sound like some one was breaking in. Stayed in July and was grateful for the ceiling fan and the fact that it does cool down at night. We were able to open windows and turn on the ceiling fan to cool down the room. Paso Robles get very warm in the summer. 100 both days we were there. A bit outside of town but nothing too far to make it not worth it. Breakfast in the morning was nice. Standard breakfast. Not your typical sit down let me serve you B&B breakfast. More here is a buffet help yourself. Can sit inside or out on their porch. Glad we got to experience the place. A bit shocked at the cost of a glass of wine ($10) when staying at the place but they have a right to charge what they want.

Beautiful Hotel, but Not a Five-Star Experience…read more We have always loved the charm, location, and intimate atmosphere of Hotel Cheval, which is why we not only chose to stay here but also recommended it to friends. Unfortunately, the price point suggests a true five-star experience, while the condition and maintenance of the hotel simply do not. During our stay, we experienced plumbing issues as well as problems with roof leaks. More concerning is that friends we recommended the hotel to also experienced plumbing problems during their stay. Their solution? They were handed a plunger. At a hotel charging luxury rates, that is simply not an acceptable response to a guest experiencing a plumbing problem. Hotel Cheval has so much going for it--the location is wonderful, the property is charming, and we genuinely wanted to continue loving it. But luxury is more than atmosphere and a premium room rate. It also means excellent maintenance, attention to detail, and service that resolves problems without making them the guest's responsibility. At this price point, the infrastructure and level of service need to match the promise. Right now, they don't. I hope management invests in the property because Hotel Cheval could absolutely live up to the experience its pricing suggests.

What an adorable place to stay for a weekend trip to Paso…read more The Farmhouse is a newly renovated motel. While the word motel has certain perceptions attached to it, farmhouse is in actuality a bright, modern, and very aesthetically pleasing hotel with wonderful amenities. Prices can be average to above average depending on the time of the year, but we were able to use some credit card points to save even further. I'd say the stay is worth the baseline price, though. We got the standard king bed room. Each room has its own little patio, and a shared fire pit nearby. The room was spacious, clean, and the color palate is a dream. The bathroom amenities were standard. It's a room you wouldn't mind doing a staycation in. The service is wonderful. There is a front desk for easy check in, and the host was available via text if we needed anything ( at one point we needed more tissues and she brought it within minutes). They also offer free rosé upon arrival and free pastries and fruit/coffee during breakfast. The location is not exactly in downtown but it's a 15 min walk or a 5 min drive to the park/square. Can't wait to come back .

This hotel is absolutely charming, with a gloriously comfortable bed and cute little patios that…read moreyou can enjoy their delicious croissants and coffee on in the morning, and a glass of wine in the evening. It's walking distance to the main part of downtown and there is a pizza and a Mexican restaurant across the street. My only real gripe is how hard they're pushing guests to buy their snacks and wine-- the room has not one but two pieces of furniture loaded with premixed cocktails, a bottle of wine, snacks, and bottled mineral water. They don't allow "outside food" in common areas, whose definition was never clear to me- does it include the patios in front of the rooms? So I felt like a criminal bringing in takeout for dinner, but there is no food onnthe premises other than various kinds of overpriced chips and cookies. They don't let you bring outside wine in common areas, either, which might have something to do with licensing or might just be trying to make you buy their wine. So we waited until it was dark and no one was around to enjoy our outside wine on the patio. But we didn't get in trouble so maybe it was ok. They're also really promoting their bath products, for sale in their little gift shop, along with membership in their hotel chain for "rewards." The website says pet friendly and indeed, dogs are allowed in all rooms-- $50 each is a little steep for pet charge though. The website says there's something for pets in the room but there was none in our room, even though we booked in advance. I don't really care that much but if they say it, they should do it. There were also some rich women guests who looked at me like I was a homeless person or space alien, but other guests I met in the breakfast room were normal and friendly. But basically, it's a hotel oriented toward well-off "classy" wine tourists, and if you're not one of those, you might feel a little awkward here. (I did.) But it's a lovely, comfortable little room with charming grounds, probably nice for a romantic getaway without your dogs.

I suggest you drive up during the day time, because it can be a situation at night, if you have never been. We packed food and went into town to get charcuterie goodies and basically ate all our meals on the patio. The view is absolutely incredible at all times of the day. 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.

If Paso is your destination you may stop here as well, but certainly for sure without exception if it's a layover, stop here. The property and rooms are cute and clean, the staff super professional, helpful and friendly. The pillows are perfect and the in-room amenities what you need. Price point is unmatched and definitely ideal for an overnight. The inn is a short three blocks from the square and many dining options abound there. There's also a really delicious burger joint across the street and a deli a block over if you want a few of the 805 lagers to keep you company. And if you're stuck in the room for five hours on laptop calls and elect to have a burger first then all the 805 lager during you never get to walk to the fine dining spots and choose one last beer and the pillows instead. Strong recommendation for this spot. My newest stopover go-to.
