Wonderful experience at Under the Oaks

Date of Stay: 09/16/11 Review Submitted: 10/01/11

We just recently spent a weekend at Under the Oaks and were very pleased with our experience. The property is rustic, but incredibly well maintained. The backyard is perfect for relaxing after a day of wine tasting. Also, the proximity to downtown was amazing... it was such an easy walk to all the restaurants. There area also a couple great wineries (Calcareous, etc) not far up the road. It truly felt like a wonderful, unique experience in wine country.

Owner response:Our yard works well for dog owners with plenty of space in the back and front yards. We love walking to dinner. Ken and Patti

Romantic hideaway & easy walk to town square !

Date of Stay: 08/05/11 Review Submitted: 08/08/11

This place was an ideal house, clean, neat and just a 5 min. walk to the town square & restaurants. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the beautiful oaks creating a great setting to enjoy our wines & the hot tub in the backyard on this property. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, from what wineries to visit, to where to eat & any questions I had. A first class experience....we will be back soon!!!

Under The Oaks

Guest: Great Danes (San Jose, CA)
Date of Stay: 04/02/11 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

We spent a wonderful weekend in Paso and felt completely at home when we stepped through the doors of Under the Oaks. It has a very warm and inviting feel to it and our two dogs really loved having a yard they could do several sprints and stretch their legs. The winery and restaurant recommendations by Ken and Patti were out of this world. We have added several of wineries on their list as MUSTS next time we visit. If you love Zin's, Turley has wines that are a world apart. Paso Port also has a great variety for all you Port lovers. If we were to visit Paso again, we will more than likely stay at Under the Oaks and I will highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting the town. There's nothing like coming to Under the Oaks after a day of wine tasting and enjoying an evening in the hot tub or relaxing by the fire pit. You just can't get that when staying at a cookie cutter hotel.

Owner response:Thank you for your feedback. We love staying at our house and walking to dinner. Oak Street is a great residential street to stay. We enjoy sitting on the front porch and reading and drinking coffee in the morning with the warm morning sun. Ken and Patti

Adorable cottage in a lovely town

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this historic cottage. The owners description was accurate. They provided information about their favorite dining spots and wineries which we took advantage of. The house was clean - all basics were provided for - and the location was ideal. We would most definitely recommend this property to our friends. Dinner at Artisian was fabulous!

Olive Festival in Paso

Guest: Olive Me (Sonoma CA)
Date of Stay: 08/19/10 Review Submitted: 10/11/11

My wife and I used this charming bungalow for the Olive Festival weekend. This was my first VRBO venture and I surfed like crazy looking at all the possibilities, locations, accomodations and all of the potential "ADDED COSTS" associated with most. I have to tell you that Ken and Patti make it so easy to stay at their place. The location to town is perfect, the cottage is warm and inviting and the neighborhood is quiet but full of families. Here is the kicker that simply adds to the already great value, what they charge for a nights stay is all you pay...no cleaning fee, no security fee, just the nightly cost. I would take this place without hesitation over any hotel and believe me, my decision making time to find a place next year just went to an email to Ken and Patti...no more VRBO surfing for places in Paso Robles. Definitely a big Thumbs Up on this as the place to stay.

We had a great time in Paso Robles and enjoyed our 2 nights "Under the Oaks" in the cute and homey cottage. We had dinner each evening in downtown Paso, which was an easy walk from the house. We visited during a heat wave and were amazed to see the temperature at night drop by 50 degrees from the over 100 readings during the day! The house was equipped with an air conditioner that kept us cool in the afternoons and nice fluffy comforter on the bed that kept us cozy at night. In general, the cottage was well-outfitted with whatever supplies you might want during a visit, e.g., lots of kitchen stuff, robes, extra shampoo, washer and dryer, etc. The place is small, especially the dining area, but it's comfortable for a couple and worked well for us and our 8-month-old baby.

Spent the Paso Robles Wine Festival Weekend "under the oaks." What a great place! Perfect location, beautiful place and everything you need to have a fun weekend! Despite the very hot weather, the oaks shade the entire backyard; couldn't have asked for more!

Great time in Paso, and Under the Oaks was a great place to stay. One of our favorite house rentals in a long time. Close to everything, with a large shaded yard, and a nice hot tub.

Cozy, comfortable and well located. This guest cottage was all the description said it would be! It is close enough to town to walk, which I highly recommend and convenient to all the wineries in the area. We had a great time and will recommend your place to our friends. It would be and was ideal for four - 2 couples because you can all be together but have your privacy. Thanks so much for all your hospitality. Best Regards, The Gilboa Family

Owner response:walking to the square for dinner, movie, cocktails, microbrew beer or to visit any of the 14 wine tasting bars is a great option.

We just got back from our Labor day weekend trip to Paso Robles and are already missing the mornings and afternoons in the backyard at Under The Oaks. The location is excellent and the weather could not have been better. We had a fantastic time while we were there and can't wait to get back.

We loved the charm of the house and the size of the backyard was incredible! Even though there was record-breaking heat, the hot tub was a highlight. Ken and Patti were great about the dogs, no hassle whatsoever. This house is a MUST for people who want to come to Paso with their dogs. Our dogs had just as much fun as we did. I'm planning on returning in the future.

Owner response:Yes, we accommodate well behaved dogs. We have two Miniature Australian shepherds. They enjoy our yard and Paso as much as we do.

We just returned from a three-day weekend at Under The Oaks in Paso Robles. The house and yard are very charming. The house itself is rather small (about 700SF) but very comfortable. The yard is ENORMOUS and private with both a hottub and grill. The house is about 4 blocks from the center of town so it's an easy walk or instant drive. The house was stocked with all of the amenities I've come to expect from vacation rentals plus had quite a few tourist pamphets for local attractions and wineries. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and kindly refunded us for the cottage when our second couple backed out.

Owner response:Bethany, It's great to hear you had a great weekend in Paso. We look forward to your return. When we stay in Paso we also love the convenient walk to the downtown square for dinner. Ken and Patti
