About the host
Hosted by Chuck and Dawn Doherty
Chuck and I finished remodeling The Carndonagh House in October 2017.
The Carndonagh (Carn-Donna) House is named for the town of Chuck's ancestors in Donegal, Ireland. We adore Ireland and everything Irish!
Both of us adore entertaining! We want our guests to love the Paso Robles Wine Country as much as we do. Our goal is a beautiful and comfortable home and great hospitality.
Looking forward to meeting you! Blessings!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the Central Coast Wine country several years ago. We explored it often staying in a variety of vacation rentals. It's been our dream to buy a home in this area and provide the very best to our guests. We hope other travelers will fall in love with this area while staying in our beautiful home.
What makes this property unique
We have over 300 wineries in our area! This is the PERFECT place to visit if you love great wines and excellent food.
There is a weekly farmer's market walking distance from Carndonagh House.
Sitting on the front patio sipping wine in the early evening is the highlight of our day.
The kitchen's open shelving is both attractive and functional. It allows the guests to see where dishes are kept.
The primary bedroom is a modern farmhouse delight with an iron bed and plush comforters.
In bedroom two there is a very special wardrobe that will be of interest to any Narnia fans.
