About this property

A Beautiful Setting to get away from Urban Life and Recharge

Secluded beautiful studio apartment with everything you need. Bring some food and your favorite beverage, and you will be set. The outdoor area is over 2000 sq. ft. with a smoker, grill, and fire pit. Great wineries like Justin, Halter Ranch, and Tablas Creek are within a 25-minute drive.

Our home is powered by one of the largest home solar plus battery projects in California with an onsite microgrid. Great area for hiking and mountain biking.

You will enjoy entertaining on the deck with an outdoor kitchen and spa that offer amazing lake views. For wine enthusiasts, there is a hobby vineyard featuring Cab and Merlot varietals on approx. 2/3 acre. Bring all your toys because there are two 5-acre easements for lake access located nearby.

We have a large floating dock that you can tie your boat to, fish off of or enjoy some swimming.

We stayed twice at the lake house and truly loved the experience. Even though it’s on the same property as the main house, we fully enjoyed our privacy. Judy was proactive and helpful, while also giving us plenty of space.The property is beautiful, and the hot tub under the starry sky is absolutely worth it. Lake Nacimiento is just a short walk away, and the whole region feels magical, full of nature and wildlife.

Great get away

Remote, yet still connected. Plan on staying in and just enjoying nature. With an hour drive to get to any services pay attention to host when they tell you to bring food and supplies. For my wife and I that worked great for this trip as that was exactly what we wanted. Host was great. Very welcoming and friendly while giving us our space. Dogs on property were well behaved and wonderful.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this rental! From the moment we arrived, everything was just as described — clean, cozy, and incredibly peaceful. The best part, hands down, was the private access to the lake. We spent our time swimming, paddle boarding, fishing and just soaking in the tranquility.The house was well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to extra towels. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, even assisting us with a flat tire.Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, a family vacation, or just a quiet place to unplug, this spot delivers. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The apartment is clean, well organized and spacious despite the small square footage. We were there during a very warm weekend but the air conditioning works great! It's a short drive to the lake where the hosts let you use the dock. My friend, my dog and I relaxed, read books and went swimming. The location is remote so be sure to bring what you need and plan to just hang out around the property and the lake. I rated it a 4 because while the apartment is well-kept it is a bit older and the location is remote. But the hosts were great and really generous with letting us use their dock and outside patio with a bbq. Overall a good experience.

Beauty and Quiet

We picked a perfect time for our stay; The trees in and around the property were ablaze with color. The quiet was calming and restorative ( no city noises at all!) The host was super kind and responsive. Highly recommended. Bring ALL your food! It's a long drive to the nearest shops, but for us that was a plus.

Wonderful views of the Lake and bonus that we were able to launch our 16’ fishing boat there and use the dock space. Come with all your food ( we did as was mentioned in the listing), cuz it’s a long way to anywhere (by car)! Loved the weekend get away.

About the host

Hosted by Mitchell Samuelian

Host profile image
Judy and I moved here in 2021 and have been updating the property ever since. We have beautiful landscaping, a vineyard, a Koi pond, and an extensive solar system powering everything, including our well.

We both work in the renewable industry as executives, so are able to work from home when we are not traveling.

Why they chose this property

Rural communities have a strong sense of community because we often have to pull together to help each other since even simple things like grocery or hardware stores can be relatively far away.

We enjoy the friendships and community we are a part of. We love that we can see the stars (there is no light pollution), that we know our neighbors, and that there is always a project to work on.

The Lake is a wonderful bonus, and being able to spend some downtime relaxing on our dock or out on the boat enjoying the beautiful weather our areas offers helps us recharge.

What makes this property unique

The entire property is 13 acres and is in a very remote setting. There is a full kitchen in the apartment, full access to an outdoor kitchen, and a separate grill on the dock, but there are no take-out or delivery options. You can genuinely forget the rat race exists. The Hilltop Retreat is in a separate building from our home. We have a small vineyard, our own dock on the lake, and spectacular views. We respect our guest's privacy, but we have also made some new friends and shared a glass of wine on the expansive deck.
