Bren is the owner and he lives on the property. His guest cottage is a perfect spot to relax. It is up a hill a bit. So be aware if you happen to be towing a trailer like i was. He was a very kind host. However we really didnt see him much. A very nice touch is that he has his own line of Spices which he leaves for you to use and take homw with you at the end of your stay. The property he is onn is quite large so the stay is very serene. It is really close to all the things you could want to do in the area though.

We were greeted at the gate by the property owner, Brenn, and warmly welcomed. We happened to be there during November’s “atmospheric river,” bringing torrential nonstop rain. However, the coziness of the cottage and the warmth created by the wood burning stove were so relaxing. There was no shortage of thoughtful amenities… including assorted (4 full bottles!) of Brenn’s own spice mixes! Though the rain prohibited us from spending time on the back patio, we could go out during the brief rain breaks and watch the deer wonder the hillside. The bed annd pillows were sooo comfortable Our stay was too short but we will definitely return!

This is an excellent location for exploring all that the area has to offer. We were 15 - 20 minutes away from the wineries, the towns of Paso Robles, and Templeton, and just minutes from the heart of Atascadero. Home is very comfortable with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We especially enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching all the birds. Overall a very quiet setting. This kitchen is easier to use if you are very tall, which we are not. There is a step stool for reaching the dishes. We didn't do any cooking so can't rate the supplies.

The property is beautiful, isolated from busy streets. We loved the backyard as others have noted. Although described as having washer and dryer you have to request access. The owner lives next door and is particular about how you enter and exit the property. He also left many notes around the interior no doubt to avoid any potential problems. We prefer more privacy so will not return. Suggested for kitchen: hot water kettle, large skillet, flat baking sheet, large bowl for pasta like dishes.

Family get away

Property was nice but the interactions and the notes around the place from the owner were not great. We went slow driving in and the owner left a note to drive walking speed. Then the listing said it had air conditioning but the sign in the place said to shut off when you leave so when we got home at night and tried to cool the place down we found out that it was locked at 75 degrees. So the first two nights were very hot. Then we told him and he said it was programmed and then said he could maybe fix it when we threatened to go to a hotel because of medical issues. He ended up fixing it.

Best week of my trip so far

Thank you for sharing your cottage. The details and style reminds me of an Italian Villa. Very clean, complete kitchen and comfortable bed made for a relaxing get away. The private yard was perfect for my pup, exactly what I was looking for. The host, Bren was great. He shared his spices and they added wonderful flavors to every meal. He has two of the happiest dogs who greeted us with wagging tails. Will return next time we are in the area. Cheers.

Idyllic Weekend Getaway

Lived up to expectations in every way. Property was quiet, secluded, and had everything we needed for my friend and me. Beautiful, quaint cottage. Kitchen had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, and the backyard patio was perfect for morning quiet times. And Bren was very helpful (and his homemade spices that he offers with the rental were fantastic!). Definitely recommended.

We all loved out stay

We loved our stay at Bren’s place. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the property was excellent. Very close to the highway, so easy access to the wineries. The place is extremely quiet. It is very relaxing to sit outside and look at nature. The beds were very comfortable. We got to meet Bren the owner. He was very pleasant to talk to. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Perfect little getaway

Absolutely fantastic little place! Easy to find, great location, very quiet neighborhood and beautiful outdoor setting. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything one would need. We saw deer, grouse, and more birds than you could imagine; many different types. Bren, the owner was a delight to get to know. Very friendly and great communication. If I am ever in town again I will 100 percent stay here again.

Perfect wine country getaway!

A perfect place to use as a base for wine tasting in Paso area. Beautiful quiet setting, great backyard patio perfect for mornings and evenings spent sighting deer, owls, hummingbirds and more. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, close to everything. Bren the owner was great and very easy and responsive to work with. There was even a small garden and we truly enjoyed the fresh ripe tomatoes! Our party of four all agreed it was a great find.

It's in the details

Where to begin? Firstly, you won't be disappointed. The pictures and description don't do the place justice. Everything was really lovely. The kitchen was well appointed with everything from a cast iron skillet to a crock pot. It was clear throughout our stay that the host had thought about and delivered on the details. The property is clean and up to date. While the style is old world charm, nothing seems dated or heavily used. The air conditioner worked well, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely. Water pressure is impressive too. We loved the back yard. It was a a perfect oasis with lots of shade, two lawns and a gas grill. The vegetable garden was looking pretty good. Don't hesitate to stay here. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing does not do this property justice

This is an amazing place to stay. In fact, I really don't want to share, due to I would like to keep Bren's jewel a secret. Everything from communication, to the furnishings, to how quiet this place is was top notch. I appreciate Bren and being able to communicate with him directly. One thing which stood out immediately was how clean everything was. Yes, some places are "clean", but this place was over the top clean. It was amazing and sanitized to the point of I felt at home. I hope to stay at Bren's place again in the future and I look forward to being able to share more great reviews. Thank you for having us Bren and I hope you will have us back in the near future.

Everything was lovely, the back yard was special and we even saw two huge owls on one of the evenings that we enjoyed sitting in the back yard. We saw a deer one day when we came up the driveway. The one downside (the reason for 4 stars) was the internet connection was spotty. Fortunately, my husband did not have to work this trip, but if he would have had to work, the connection would not have permitted that. Everything else was lovely. Bren left us some of his spices and we enjoyed those thoroughly.
