About this property

Gated Hacienda + Casita + Fire Pit | Wine Country | Hacienda Buena Vida

  • This gorgeous hacienda features privacy within a gated courtyard with outdoor dining, large built-in BBQ, as well as a charcoal smoker grill, fountains, and beautiful surroundings, as well as a private courtyard with fire pit for the separate guest house. You will feel welcomed into the good life as soon as you arrive! Featuring both Saltillo tile and hardwood floors, this pet-friendly home provides hacienda-style comfort for everyone. Full kitchen and open floor plan including dining area and living room, enjoy the expansive layout. The master suite provides a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom for maximum guest privacy along with a private entrance to the patio. Two queen bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa complete the sleeping arrangements for eight in the main house. TV in living room and a TV in each bedroom, as well!

    The casita also features an open floor plan encompassing the living and dining areas, right off the kitchen. Just steps from the main house, this individual residence has its own private courtyard with fire pit, full kitchen, and king bedroom. Hallway bathroom with shower is available just outside the bedroom with easy access. Blackout curtains complete the picture for an exceptional king bedroom. There is an additional sleeper futon in the living room.

    Quality furnishings and linens are provided for guest comfort in both the main and guest houses, offering all you need for a fun and comfortable home base for wine tasting or a trip to the coast. Easy access from the highway, wineries within minutes, and inviting courtyards with outdoor dining and plenty of sun or shade. It will be tough to decide whether to laze in the luxurious beds, head out for a day of wine tasting, or relax in the inviting courtyards. Why not try all three and enjoy every minute! Electric Vehicle charger provided at the casita for your convenience. Bring your own adapter!

The main house kitchen was great - casita kitchen very small. The main house has a great central outdoor area with table/chairs for 8 - very nice space for pets as there are doors/gates so it contains pets nicely.

Five plus stars! This property is a beautiful, very clean and well-stocked southwestern style home. The location is amidst large, well-maintained ranch homes with multi-acres. Loved the towns of Templeton and Pasa Robles and there are numerous wineries to visit. Should we ever find ourselves in this area again we will definitely want to stay here.

Nice for Family

Enjoyed the layout a typical Hacienda style. Not a new property, but well kept and spacious. Worked for our multigenerational group. Close to Paso about 10 minute drive. Shopping fairly close, and of course close to all the Vineyards. We attended family wedding at Terra Mia, 6 minutes away.Would stay here with family again.multigenerational group.

Girls weekend

We fell in love with the Hacienda Buena Vida and Casita! There were 5 of us coming together to celebrate a 30th birthday. The house was perfect! With the casita (so darling!), everyone had space enough. The kitchen was really well stocked and everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. The location was perfect for getting to Paso as well as heading to San Luis Obispo. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful home; can't find anything wrong with it

Spent the weekend with our family and a friend's family touring wineries in the Paso area. We mostly used the house as a home base, but was very pleased with the cleanliness, as well as the layout of the home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking. We did not take advantage of the courtyard, but definitely look forward to a longer stay next time when we will spend time there, and using the smoker and/or BBQ grill.

Magical gem in amazing location

We were planning a family getaway with some close family friends and wanted a place that would be fun to hang out in as well as that was close to some great spots in Paso to check out, and this listing fit the bill perfectly. The property is a beautiful main house and adorable casita with a tranquil courtyard. The kitchen is well-outfitted (they also have a grill and a Big Green Egg outside, but we didn't use those), there is a bunch of comfy seating around a great big tv in the main common area, and the bedrooms were also quite comfortable. We didn't realize when we booked the place just how close we'd be to so much- there were fantastic wineries and other activities within a 10 minute drive of the property! A fantastic place.

Great location

Our family enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everyone including a casita just a short walk from the main house. The main home has three bedrooms (K, Q, Q) and there’s a small twin bedroom/office with glass French doors off the living room along with 2-1/2 baths (that extra toilet/sink bath comes in handy with a group). The casita has one bedroom (K) and bath with an adorable kitchen, dining and seating area. The enclosed backyard patio is very tranquil and private (there’s a short 4 ft gate at one patio opening which worked fine for our small dog.) The main house has a great open floor plan for family gatherings with a large dining table and outside patio table. All the bedroom mattresses were super comfortable! We definitely will return and thought that the “Paso Robles Stay Vacation Rental” mgt company was so helpful and organized and we appreciated that.

The cleaning crew does a great job--it was one of the cleanest vacation rentals we've been in. The only complaint is the a/c/heating units in the casita are way too loud to use during the night. Nice neighborhood. The whole property is beautiful and well taken care of.
