Hydro Spa Tub + Vineyard Views | Willow Creek AVA | Dunning Ranch Suite One

My wife and I had a wonderful weekend at this property. It was very tranquil, with wonderful bird sounds in a pleasant location that gave us the feeling of our camping trips without a tent- in the sense of being outdoors and away from crowds. The unit [suite 1] was nice. Yes the sides of rooms angled- it is a roofline after all. If you are more than 6 you will need to duck in a few places. However, this is because it is a 100 year old house and the upstairs was designed for the expectations of that era. For anyone wanting to truly isolate themselves it is worth noting that cooking in the unit will be in a microwave, but there is a bbq outside [propane] for your interests. The only drawback to this visit was the first night due to the downstairs neighbors. Objectively they were normal in volume, but the house transmits sounds upstairs too well. A clear quiet hour posting for after dark would be good, IF it was followed by your neighbor. The tv doesn't pick up any stations/channels, but a DVD player and a small library of family friendly DVDs were available. Also, the WiFi allows streaming on your own devices. If you rely on your phone for access, it might be best to download the local map of this area before driving here as cell reception was very spotty. This is NORMAL for the location and has NOTHING to do with the property owners! It is what you have to expect for the solitude. If you want your cell to have access every foot of the drive in, stay in a big city.

Breathtakingly peaceful.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a glorious setting for a vacation rental! It was incredibly peaceful not enjoy nature and look at the vines. The home is very remote but we had no problem finding it. We were immediately greeted with a strong wet dog odor upon entering the unit but it dissipated after having the windows open for a day. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of pillows, towels were generously sized, shower had tons of hot water. The place was very dusty and felt like it had not been cleaned recently. I was surprised we were not invited to taste wine at Dunning Vineyards considering it was on property. Would highly recommend for folks looking for peace and quiet and not worried about fancy accommodations. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This stay, I must say, was unique. We came late, after sundown, and followed the signs to the rental the best we could. As you enter Dunning Winery the road changes from paved to dirt quite quickly. We ended up at a fork in the road with a sign that pointed up a hill. That brought us to a large house that looked nothing like the picture we had of the rental, so we turned back down the hill and tried to follow the signs again. We approached a gate with a pin pad and tried to enter our code. Nothing doing. Finally we saw a sign for the guest house. When we arrived the building did look like the picture.The door code worked. The unit was clean, and was stocked with a wine opener,a vegetable peeler a cutting board,and a toaster--- things we needed for our little wine, cheese and salad dinner. The coffee maker was suitable, but we did bring creamer. It was a comfortable bed, with firmer pillows(always a plus). The TV used Direct TV, which took us a little time to figure out.One thing you should know is that the walls are thin, so se could hear the people in the main house pretty well, as they could probably hear us.Overall, it was a lovely place to be for a couple of days, and we would certainly go back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the property and location during our stay. The inside was quite charming and had everything we needed. It blended the comfort of a hotel suite with the charm of a being away from the maddening crowd in a remote area.We saw deer there as we walked our dog, as well as a skunk and various squirrels/chipmunks. I got into a conversation with a great horned owl while walking my dog there and the owl swooped up to perch 10 feet above my head. Wonderful location!As for the property we would stay there in a heartbeat again, with one advisory- the interior walls transmit sound very well.The first night our downstairs neighbor had music on and was talking- both at levels within the 'normal' range- but the sounds felt louder upstairs than in a normal hotel.This house WAS built in the 1920s, so it is understandable .Everyone wants something different. We wanted a quiet retreat to enjoy the solitude of the location. We understand not all are like us. And our neighbors WERE at objectively normal volumes.For those who want to arrive and not leave until checkout, suite one's cooking will be either in a microwave or outside on a bbq. There is no range or oven upstairs. Not an issue for us in the slightest, but it may be for someone who plans on 3 days of solitude.Oh- download offline versions of the map to your phone before leaving PasoRobles, as cell reception is spotty at best. This is also NORMAL for the type of location and has NOTHING to do with the property. Don't blame the owners for the modern world not caring about more rural areas.If you aren't willing to do this, or buy a dedicated GPS unit [not a phone's map program], it might be best to stay in resorts near large cities rather than cool spots of tranquility like this.Last point- our dog loved the walks in the area. Just be sure to bag and toss the animal's waste.

This lovely 1 bedrrom apartment felt like we were staying in a treehouse, in the best way possible. Across tge way from Dunning Vineyards tasting room, this one bedroom auite with outdoor deck is ao beautiful and quiet and relaxing. We loved it!

We LOVED our stay here. Our bedroom views were of a beautiful vineyard. It was a perfect, quiet place to stay that is also close to many of the wineries as well as downtown Paso Robles.

This unit was in a rather remote location. It's located at the end of a dirt road in a canyon. If we had known this we probably would have looked for something closer to Paso. The units sits on a winery property but we never saw anyone there. This that said the unit was well equipped.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The upstairs accommodations were lively and the peace and quiet we enjoyed was outstanding. It’s not a place where much cooking can be done, but we managed with what we had. Dunning Vineyards was delightful, as well. Bob is a great host and it is a two minute walk from the cottage❤️

Fantastic stay overall, great property. We left a day early because of very noisy, late night, rude downstairs neighbors. Didn't want to spend another hellish night
