Our recent trip to Paso Robles was a few firsts for me: the first Air Bn'B experience my parents didn't foot the bill for, the first true wine tasting experience and the first visit to Paso Robles.
Everything about our trip for my best friend's 12th wedding anniversary was just amazing and perfect, starting with Reves de Moutons. I was charmed before we ever got here, when I saw the picture of that adorable little lamb I immediately needed to snuggle. However, I did read all the details and knew there would be no lambs to snuggle, since we would be arriving mid-November.
But that's okay! There are sheep, a llama, goats, ducks, chickens and two really adorable, sweet dogs to play with. This is the place to go if you just revel in animal love. They are all so friendly and funny!
Most of all, though, the owners Kristy and Evan make it all so special. They are so welcoming and warm, we felt like we were staying with friends. Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne! It was just so fancy and unexpected.
You're staying in their home, in one of two bedrooms made for guests. You will share a bathroom with the other guests, so if you can make it your friends, do so!
The property is gorgeous....views of rolling hills for miles. It's also a little bit off the beaten path and only 10-15 minutes from the main part of town, which I personally liked since it was so quiet up there. It's a true getaway. The house itself is comfortable and beautifully decorated without being so nice that you don't want to breathe on, sit on or touch anything. I felt totally comfortable there.
To get there, you will be on a dirt road. A low-clearance vehicle is usually okay, I would think, but if it's raining I'd be cautious. It rained our first morning there and it was amazing how muddy it got in a relatively short period of time!
Both rooms are comfortable and spacious. I slept like a dream, thanks to the super comfy bed and the pitch-black room! Every morning, we woke up to the house smelling incredible. Kristy was at work in the kitchen making us scones, egg and hash brown cups, fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee. Everything tasted better than anything we ate in town! And we ate well in town, too, believe me. You just can't beat homemade, amirite?
Kristy and Evan are happy to tell you anything you want to know about farm and B&B life (and wine!), and I found their story inspiring and fascinating. It's cool to see how much they've learned and how much heart they put into everything they do. They have even more plans for the property, and I can't wait to come back and see what they've done!
If you're ever looking to stay in Paso Robles and do something different, relaxing and fun, come here! You will have the time of your life. read more
