Location: Templeton, Central Coast, California, USA (30 miles to SLO airport, 7 miles to downtown Paso Robles)

Accommodations:  Home, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 2.25 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

This most exceptional property on the central coast is now available as a short term vacation rental for the most discriminating of guests. There's nothing like this property on the central coast and it's nearly impossible to duplicate the old world magnificence of estate.

FallingWaters is conveniently, yet privately located 1 mile from Vineyard Drive at the Gateway to over 100 world class wineries of the Central Coast's Templeton and Paso Robles wine regions. A short 5-10 minute drive has you within reach of over two dozen tasting rooms. There is overnight availability of 3 BR/2.5 BA/2,500 sf.

The home is lovingly furnished in simple, yet elegant country motif with numerous "rural" antique touches such as spinning wheels, barber's chair, sewing machine end table, and other period memorabilia. In addition to the area's numerous wineries, you can spend a week here and only scratch the surface of the central coast's offerings: You are easily within 20 to 30 minutes of nearby lakes Nacimiento & Santa Margarita, the charming beach towns of Cayucos, Morro Bay, San Simeon and Cambria, countless ocean and beach activities, magnificent Hearst Castle, the historic downtowns of Templeton & San Miguel, the jazzier downtowns & nightlife/shopping of Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo, limitless hiking and nature gazing, horseback riding, and just plain unforgettable scenery.

FallingWaters is a unique and very special 5 acre retreat. This is not your typical vacation rental home and you'll know why the moment you experience it. It's a retreat with a serenity to be respected and appreciated by guests who are searching for something out of the ordinary. Relax, fish, read, listen to and view nature in your backyard paradise, walk the grounds, bike or walk the lovely adjoining roads, hike the unending surrounding mountainside.

The property is located in the heart of Templeton and Paso Robles wine country. It is situated near a seasonal creek and has a unique combination of water features including a 1/2 acre fishing pond, a Koi pond, and a small waterfall which directs a stream under the home and emptying into the koi pond in the backyard.

From the moment you enter you are surrounded by serene waters, viewed from almost every room. Natural scenes of wild-life surround you daily: Ducks, catfish, dozens of bird varieties, eagles, egrets, hawks, frogs, deer, and more make this their occasional home.

  • Falling Waters is enchanting. Reading the description does not do it justice as it truly is an English country experience. It reminded many of us of time spent in Europe....down comforters, charming gardens and ponds, beautiful antiques, and on and on. We rented the home for a family reunion/wine tasting/vacation and every member of the family was absolutely thrilled with the selection--serenity for the elders with wireless internet, cable, paddle boat and close proximity to fantastic wine tasting for the young adults. Only regret was not enough time to fish in the pond. Very helpful/obliging owners. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

  • We stayed at Falling Waters in October. The home was very nice, roomy, and accommodated our group of 3 couples nicely. We had fun touring the pond in the pedal boat and feeding all the fish. Mostly, we enjoyed just sitting on the deck, listening to the quiet and sharing some fabulous wines! The kitchen set up is a bit odd, but we were able to produce some tasty meals. There is a Trader Joe's within a couple of miles - a definite bonus! Wine tasting in this area is absolutely great, and there are so many wineries close by. The heavy and hard to open gate was the only drawback. Be sure you have someone strong in your group!

  • We did our research looking for a high end property at the right price... Falling Creek was perfect. The location is ideal for a weekend visiting the local vineyards and a bbq back at the property. In addition, it is also very close to Trader Joes and a Cafe. The house itself is amazing. The interior is finely decorated, yet comfortable. We will definitely be making a trip back and highly recommend staying at Falling Creek!

  • We rented Falling Waters for Zin Fest weekend and could not have been more thrilled. Casey, who owns the home, personally greeted us and offered all kinds of information to make our stay the best it could be. We loved relaxing on the deck and cooking dinner after a day of wine tasting. We'll definately rent this home again!
