Modern designer cottage with 360-degree views of vines & wildlife A modern designer cottage sitting atop a 12 acre property with 360 degree views of the beautiful and bountiful wine growing and ranching region of The California Central Coast next door to a world renowned Bio-dynamic Winery. A large deck for outdoor dining, drinking, watching our local wildlife and contemplating the joys of life. A spacious open plan sitting, dining and kitchen with more of those panoramic views outside. Ideal for communing, chilling and feasting. Two spacious double bedrooms with high quality queen beds, freshly ironed linens and a European bathroom complete with a large walk in rain-head shower. There is also a comfy couch ideal for children in the lounge. Perfect for resting and refreshing. A bocce ball court with a view to die for, and miles of trails if you are feeling energetic. All this only 12 minutes off the 101, in the heart of over 100 wineries, a 15-minute drive to the bars, restaurants and shopping of Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero and 30 minutes to the coast from Morro Bay to Hearst Castle. Our cottage is designed for adults and sleeps 4. It has every thing you need for a memorable stay on the central coast, for a weekend, a week or a month. Our fully equipped chef's kitchen comes with everything you need to enjoy meals at home, and the outside BBQ might have one of the best views of any BBQ in California. The home is a contemporary design reflecting the owners' international travels and has all the comforts of home including high quality freshly ironed bed linen, towels, bathroom supplies, hair dryer and plenty of wardrobe space. Super efficient heating & a/c. Filtered water. High speed WiFi on a property that is to all intents and purposes 'off the grid' and self-sufficient. We try to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum. Outside there are 13 acres grazed by deer, horses, cattle, sheep and llamas which guests can walk around. Guests are also welcome to use the bocce ball court which might have the best views from the court anywhere. We live on the property, and will welcome you with a package of local delicacies along with a native's knowledge of things to do in the area. Let us know if its beach, mountains, towns, wineries, trails, riding, shopping, dining, drinking you are looking to indulge in. We're confident we can give you great local recommendations and we have also arranged some special packages with local wineries, olive oil producers and coffee roasters. We are lucky enough to have lived all over the world, and chose to return here as the closest place to paradise for modern living that we can find. The fact that one of us was born here didn't hurt either! Please feel free to call if you have any questions, or email. We're confident our rates are the best value for money in the area, and we'll do whatever we can to make sure you enjoy your visit as much as we love living here. For more pictures please visit www.instagram.com/kuonacottage PS. Please note that we require a minimum 3 night booking. Also the property is not suitable for wheelchair access, and we don't have cribs, high chairs etc. for infants. The property is also a working vineyard and we do have animals so cannot accept children under the age of eleven. Also, we always buy travel insurance. Between Pandemics, natural disasters, unexpected health issues and airline calamities it’s always possible that travel plans get disrupted. The cost per trip is minimal and annual polices are also relatively inexpensive. We’ll always work with you if life happens while you’re making other plans, but having travel insurance is great piece of mind. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Limo/town car service - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Recycling - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,000 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33498900/33498808/d740ed9e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A five star gem in the middle of the Paso Robles Wine District.

From mornings w/Mother deer & her baby doe, beautiful birds singing & cute little cotton tail bunnies prancing. To serene & silent nights eclipsing view w/the city lights & star lights in a sympathy of serenity. Our group came back from wine tasting & supper in Paso Robles when we saw a satellite from SpaceX debri re-enter the atmosphere. I was spell bound; the moment seemed to last longer than just a couple seconds. The debri streamed across the night sky from south to north like a red & orange fireball falling across the atmosphere disappearing into the event horizon like lighting catching up to thunder it was gone in a blink of an eye.These experiences like expressed above at Kuona cottage are what makes it great. The quiet simplistic pleasantries of life create a positive life perspective. Mix in friends & family; The memories we’ve made here i am beyond blessed to bare forever.

It is modern and comfortable with great beds and relaxing views from every window. It is wonderfully quiet at night! You feel like you're miles away from everything but it is just a short, pleasant drive to wineries and stores. Although sunny, the weather was cooler for our stay so we enjoyed the ambiance of the fireplace which also warms up the place very well too. The mornings were a little too chilly to sit out on the deck but the many windows allowed us to stay warm inside and still enjoy the beautiful views. As it was a little warmer in the evening, we did get to sit out on the deck and enjoy a glass of wine. Karrin and Clive were friendly and available if we needed anything, which we did not. We will definitely try to stay here again when in Paso Robles. Thank you Karrin and Clive for our relaxing break from work and the daily routine! ##### Stacy J.

We loved the serenity of this hilltop retreat. Gorgeous views from every window and peace and quiet! Only a 30 minute drive to the coast and plentiful vineyards at nearly every turn! Clive and Karrin are wonderful hosts!! We loved our time here!! ##### Barbara G. Stayed 23 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence H. Feb 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise in Paso From the moment we entered the gate at the top of the hill, our stress level diminished, and we felt nothing but peace and calm. The gorgeous property and well-appointed cottage set the tone for our vacation getaway. Karrin and Clive were the consummate gracious hosts who took the time to recognize our 30th wedding anniversary. This gesture was so thoughtful. We also made use of the local wine, honey, coffee, and olive oil! Although it rained on certain days, the comfort of the cottage made us feel warm and cozy. The chef's kitchen afforded us the opportunity to cook some delicious meals. Some locations we visited: Pier 46 – took home sea bass for dinner; Trader Joe’s; Main Street Templeton; BL Brasserie, a must; 1122 – Speak Easy; walked around the PR square, Hearst Ranch Winery, watched the elephant seals, ate at Linn’s in Cambria Village, and took in the flora and fauna on the property. Thank you Karrin and Clive for a lovely time! We shall return! ##### Lawrence H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan H.

The location was perfect since we wanted something out of town. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and offered the perfect amount of privacy and quiet. The host was very helpful as we planned our trip, and then so communicative and nice while we were there. We really hope to come again. Highly recommend. ##### Lee D.

This is by far the nicest VRBO rental I've ever stayed in. It's gorgeous, secluded, spacious, I could go on and on. Love how you decorated and also appreciate the high end touches, from the linens and towels to the kitchen amenities. Also thank you for the gifts you left for us. Eating breakfast on the back porch each day enjoying the view was one of my personal highlights. Hope to be back in the future. ##### Shelley A.
