  • We needed a sanctuary to relax and unwind for a few days, and found one at Windmill House. The house fitted our needs perfectly, and the location was absolutely lovely. Our host was "B" was extremely helpful, even including charcoal for the BBQ and wine tasting coupons, as well as ideas for activities and local restaurants. We definitely plan to return!

  • Thanks so much B for such a warm welcome and all the information you gave me and my two friends, Sandy and Rodger. There was plenty to do and we did get out and about and enjoyed the area and a couple of wineries. Mainly though we enjoyed just being able to visit with each other since we are friends that don't get to see each other that often. The Windmill house was so comfortable and well stocked with just about anything anyone would need. I fell in love with the linens in the Master bedroom, and the bed itself! Oh la la, so comfy. Thank you from all of us. Faith (Bay Area CA), Sandy (Southern CA), Rodger (Ontario, Canada).

  • We Rang in the New Year for 2008 at Rock Basin and had a wonderful time. "B" - Thanks for all the hospitality; it was great to get to know you. The house is warm and comfortable, and situated in a beautiful country area. We had the chance to go to missions, visit San Simeon (elephant seals!) and Paso Robles, with a little bit of driving. We also visited the nearby Santa Margarita Lake and just kicked back around the house. Mollie loved seeing the sheep and meeting Nemo and Bo. Thanks again and we'll see you soon!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Larry, Liz & Molly: I'm so glad you enjoyed visiting so much of our areas sights and vistas. I wish Molly could have been here to see the elephant seal cross the road! "Lucky" is still on the run with no plans in site for him to cross the highway again and join the herd on the beach. Hope to see you back again soon.

  • My family was involved in a wedding in the area and having such a wonderful and convenient "second home" made it easy and comfortable for everyone. It helped to have enough bathrooms, a kitchen, and plenty of parking space. And to wake up and see the sheep and horses next door was really a nice touch. Thank you again, "B" best wishes for a nice holiday season. Laura
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Laura & Family: I'm so happy for the bride,groom and all your guests to have enjoyed a wonderful ranch wedding and reception inspite of the wet weather that day. I hope to see you all back this way again soon.

  Susan, Becky, Lorrie & Evelyn , Las Vegas, NV
  • We came to stay in August 2007 for a week while the 4 of us were attending a bead retreat in San Luis Obispo. We drove from Las Vegas so by the time we arrived we were pretty tired! The house and its surroundings were amazing! Coming from the city, it was so peaceful and relaxing to be 10 minutes from town, but in the most beautiful country surroundings you could imagine! It was well past dinnertime and there was a beautiful tray of sandwiches and a few bottles of wine waiting for us. We felt so welcomed. Bernice came down a few times to check on us and let us visit with her sweet dogs, Bobo and Nemo. It was the greatest experience we've had in our rental travels and you can bet we will be back whenever we can.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Susan & Friends: So glad to hear The House suited your needs and that you enjoyed our country location. I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful and intricatly beaded designs next year.

  • B, Once again we enjoyed a wonderful stay at your guest house. Everything was just perfect including the wine you provided, a clean comfortable guest home and a great envrionment. We loved the addition of the sheep and it is always good to see you, Nemo and Bo! Pipestone was our favorite winery once again but Tablas Creek was excellent also.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you for returning to The Guest House at Rock Basin Vineyards for your annual reunion of the "triplets for life". I hope to see you all back again soon.

  • Bea, The guest house was better than I imagined it could be, even after viewing the photos. We were so comfortable; there wasn't a thing all week that I thought of that was missing. Just like home. Your location is great too, alowing easy access to SLO, the wineries, the coast, and great hiking right up the street. (We enjoyed putting together that jigsaw puzzle too.)And you, Bea, are the perfect hostess, providing us with the thoughtful gift basket upon our arrival and insights on all manner of subjects about the farm and the area in general. Hope to see you again soon. Best, Sandra

  • If country life, a comforting respite from all that urban commotion, is on your agenda, then this is the place. If sampling wonderful wine in pastoral settings is something you wish to experience, then this is the place. If living a fantasy of friendly folk, plentiful wildlife, great food and daily excursions to all that the California Central Coast has to offer, then this is the place. We thank you B for a memorable week.
