Artist Vineyard Cottage - coastal influence in the heart of Wine Country!
Amazing location and breathtaking views! Nestled in the coastal foothills just off California Scenic Hwy 46 West - exactly halfway between the quaint artist village of Cambria (10 min) and gateway to the spectacular Paso Robles/Templeton wine region (just outside your door).
Newly remodeled cottage from the ground up. Enjoy top of the line furnishings, amenities and touches that one would expect from an artist. The large master bedroom is a Southeast Asian retreat with unique pieces from Nepal and Thailand. The queen bedroom takes you back to early California. The kitchen is fully stocked and has granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Relax in privacy on the patio overlooking a vast farming valley below or tuck yourselves back in the shade of the oaks and bay trees off the rear patio.

The cottage is always a peaceful getaway. It’s cozy and relaxing with a beautiful view, and the beds are perfect! Good wildlife viewing as well. You can go exploring, but staying in is just as good if you need to recharge. Lisa is a wonderful host!
Fantastic location and views, and very kind hosts. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the outdoor space. Lovely and relaxing stay.
Yes, house turnkey and all amenities top-notch.Perfect for our purpose - close to Cambria and Paso Robles. Great wineries, restaurants, shopping, beach, hiking.
Lovely, relaxing time and great location between the ocean in the valley
I stayed here for a week with a friend and we had a lovely time. The house is beautiful and roomy. And we had a lovely time sitting outside at the fire pit watching the sun go down.
We love staying at the Artist Cottage. We have stayed several times. The owners take great pride in providing a welcome, comfortable and clean environment.

This property is a little haven away from civilization. It is quiet, peaceful, cozy, and comfy, and it is very lovely in all the details and in how much care and love was put into this cottage.
PerfectionPhotos can’t capture the beauty and serenity of the Artist’s Cottage. We’ve stayed in quite a number of vacation homes and this is truly a standout. The driveway runs up through a vineyard to the cozy and well appointed cottage with a million dollar view, and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy it all.Templeton wine trail, SLO, Paso Robles and all the amazing coastal towns at your fingertips, and an amazing private retreat to come home to.Wonderful hosts as well. Thank You Lisa and Randy for a one of a kindstay on the central coast!
We loved this house away from the busyness of town. It was perfect for a restful weekend. We enjoyed a fire on the patio, the views of a vineyard, and watching the sunrise while drinking coffee!! Will return in a heartbeat!
My wife and I stayed at the artist retreat in Templeton to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and our experience far exceeded our expectations.The cottage was charming and well-stocked, and the fresh flower bouquet was an unexpected touch, making it feel like a true home away from home.The location and views were simply incredible. We spent much of our time on the front porch, soaking in the beautiful scenery, fresh air, and watching the wildlife.It was the perfect getaway for us as a couple—a peaceful escape from the daily grind, crowds, and traffic.We absolutely loved our stay!
Nice views, close to main Paso Robles, Morro Bay and Cambria. Owner very responsive and helpful. Good place to relax and unwind. Try it, you’ll like it!
Exactly as advertised. Very comfy, and everything a kitchen could need. Small yet felt spacious. Only downside was constant traffic noise from busy road nearby. We enjoyed the hummingbirds and flock of wild turkeys.
This was our second visit to the cottage, though, unfortunately, we could only stay for three days. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the area. This property is, without a doubt, one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need!
My friend and I had been hearing about Paso for the last couple of years, and took the chance to enjoy a long weekend. My mother decided to join last minute - which was a great addition. The property is clearly cared for well and the hosts are active in communication throughout the stay. Conveniently located to several wineries and wonderful scenic views, this is a great space and we’ve already started talking about our next visit.
We stayed for 4 nights in September 2023. The cottage is wonderfully located in a peaceful country location and offers spacious accommodation and a comfy bed. From this location we visited Cambria and the Pacific Coast Highway northwards, Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo. Moonstone Beach is particularly recommended.
This time around we did not do wine tastings but the choice of vineyards available is huge.
We recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again, if in the area.
This property is in an ideal location to get away. This is my second time here and I will return in the future. The house is immaculately clean. The furnishings are very impressively Zen. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views in every direction. Brand new grill and plenty of seating outdoors to enjoy the views. Make sure to schedule in time just to enjoy the house and unwind.
Greeted by an infinity pool that looks down to the valley and across the mountian. Close to San Fran, Sasalito, Muir Woods. Hummingbirds flutter through out the gatdens. A private large covered deck. Attention to detail inside...comfortable bed, well equiped kitchen, lovely spa and gifted snacks. Perfect place to rest.
covered deck
What a great place, one of the rare cases it turns out to be better than the pictures. Communication with Lisa was great and she provided a nice little guide with recommendations since it was our first time in the area, which we ended up following almost everything =). The cottage is great, equipped with everything you need and the views are awesome.
We got rain and sun and it is great either way. You almost don't want to leave the cottage to explore the area. Since this was our first time in the region we did went to spend the day out but making sure to get the sunset at the cottage, highly recommended. Next time will definitely spend some days just enjoying the cottage.
