High Ridge Cottage, Paso Robles

KevinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We stayed here for our two-year wedding anniversary and had a truly memorable time. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We especially loved winding down in the evenings with the hot tub and fire pit while watching the sunset. It felt peaceful and private, but still just a short drive to downtown and several great wineries. April was a fantastic host and her guidebook of local spots made exploring the area even easier. A perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.

Sea Wolf Bungalow

PaulRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Staying at the Sea Wolf Bungalow was one of the most special experiences of my life. I had the joy of working with Kim to plan my engagement there, and she made every step seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable. From vendor recommendations to her calming presence, Kim went above and beyond to help create a perfect moment. She welcomed us with such warmth—it felt like staying with family. The bungalow itself is peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. The stunning seaside views, colorful tide pools, and sightings of whales, seals, and other wildlife made every moment feel magical. Kim’s local insight into trails, sights, and hidden gems only added to the experience. The Sea Wolf Bungalow will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I feel incredibly grateful for the memories made there and for the chance to get to know Kim. Truly the best trip I’ve ever had. Thank you, Kim—for everything.

Ocean Vista

CindyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay. The views were beautiful. The room was very clean and had lots of extra blankets to cuddle up in. The outdoor shower got way hotter than I imagined, and that’s a good thing because it was really cold. My only complaints are that the lighting in the bathroom was a bit dim to be trying to put on make up (that could have been user error on my part), and there were no clothes hangers. We went shopping so, I left a few behind. We had a great trip!!
