About this property

A five star gem in the middle of the Paso Robles Wine District. Don't miss out.

Note: You have found it! . Congratulations! You've found the ideal spot for wine tasting and falling in love with the Central Coast region of California. Located one quarter of a mile off the road, this beautiful, gated property, the Willow House, provides peace, quiet and security for guests. We've noticed a new dynamic from Bay Area and L.A. guests. Yes, they come for the wine but more and more are asking us about the area with a view toward relocating. But, enough of that. Wine is our passion and we have it! There is easy access to the multitude of wineries in the area, (in fact, we're smack in the middle of the Paso Robles wine district) with helpful knowledge,( if desired,) from your hosts who have witnessed the growth of the industry in the past 27 years. Although wine is high on the lists of visitors, your hosts can be very helpful in guiding you to the best of restaurants, attractions such as Hearst Castle, Morro Bay and other highlights of the area. Willow House comes completely furnished, with separate bedrooms and baths for each couple. A top of the line BBQ, and a kitchen full of all you'll need to prepare breakfast or a full meal. The expansive deck is a pleasant evening rest spot for each to contemplate the view with a favorite glass of wine. We consider, and guests agree, that our beds are most comfortable. We would love to host you at the Willow House.

Wonderful getaway to Paso!
We loved our stay in this quiet bungalow. The communication with the owners was fabulous and plenty of instructions on how to use everything in the house. The house was clean and so comfortable, with a perfectly stocked kitchen. The outdoor space was so nice and we enjoyed the location a bit further away from the downtown area. The local recommendations were greatly appreciated...loved Still Waters Winery! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house in great location
The house was clean, well appointed, and super comfortable. I enjoyed evenings on the front porch watching fantastic sunsets while enjoying local wine. There’s a gated driveway and owners are on property in a separate house, so very safe. Lots of birds and deer to observe on site, and an easy drive to Cambria on the coast (45 minutes) for a total change of landscape and opportunity to watch sea otters at play! Owners provided a list of recommended wineries and restaurants, containing some real gems. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Home away from home
Our stay in the Willow House could not have been lovelier. The property itself is amazing and in late February with the almond trees in bloom it was beyond beautiful. The amenities in the house were generous and communication was a breeze. It was a perfect choice for two couples on a central coast getaway. We highly recommend this rental.

It is rare that a vacation rental property lives up to its hype, but the Willow House did. Everything that was listed, amenities etc., was just as promised. And it all worked! Kudos to the owners and the property manager. We would most definitely return...

I first stayed in this property back in the spring of 2022. It’s a great setting off the beaten path but right in the heart of many great little vineyards east of Paso Robles/Templeton .

Lovely little home!
Our stay was very nice, the house was clean, very well stocked. Nice linens and comfortable beds. A bit away from town, but that worked well for us. Still within 15 min or less of stores, restaurants and wineries. Loved the quiet hominess. Hoping to be back again soon. Would definately stay here again.

Excellent Accomodations for Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at The Willow House. Our first impression was that it was nicer inside than the pictures seemed to show. A bonus was the good bottle of wine waiting for us from a winery on the host’s recommended winery list. The bungalow was very comfortable from the beds to the seating to the dining room table to the wood stove for a cool rainy day. (Not to worry; the heating system worked very well.) It was plenty of room for 2 couples. There were thoughtful items in addition to the wine like a phone charger in the kitchen and Kleenex in the bathroom. The kitchen worked well for us; we cooked all our breakfasts and dinners. The outdoor setting was excellent; private and quiet, with long views to the hills yet only 10-15 minutes from town. The outdoor sitting area was great for a nice day. We recommend staying here and plan to go back ourselves.

Wonderful property in a beautiful setting
We loved our 3-night stay at the charming and comfortable Willow House with our 2 close friends from Spain. The west-facing front porch was the perfect setting for sunsets, followed by evening BBQs, and capped off with wonderfully-wide open skies for star gazing with our telescope.

About the host

Hosted by Candi Block

Host profile image
Dick is a retired Homicide detective. Kim is a retired corporate executive. We came to the Central Coast to farm organically. We did this for fifteen years and at the same time operated Hollyhock Farms Bed and Breakfast. We retired from all that and assumed the life of the fully retired. That didn't last long as we have a beautiful Bungalow that has all the amenities, view, security, quietude and smack in the middle of the wine district.

Why they chose this property

Back in the mid-ninties, We realized that the hustle and bustle of the city was wearing us out. The search was on. We visited virtually every county in the state. San Luis Obispo County won out. When we were operating the Bed and Breakfast, many of our guests marveled at how "complete"our lives had become and, not surprisingly, they took up the search and relocated to San Luis Obispo County. It is, simply put, Valhalla.

What makes this property unique

Take a look at the photos and say, Why Not? We are on a beautiful piece of land, seven acres, with views and sunsets that are superb. When we go to bed, there are no cars honking, no sirens and, no arguments next door. Really, just read the reviews, they say it better than we ever could.
