Ideally situated in a serene residential enclave at the core of the historic downtown area, this delightful craftsman bungalow is just a stone's throw away from the city park, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, such as Serial Wines or Indigene Cellars, a myriad of exquisite dining options, a children's museum, and theaters.

Venture a short drive away, and you'll discover a plethora of acclaimed wineries, including Le Cuvier and Calcareous, as well as championship golf courses, like Hunter Ranch.

Great stay in a lovely home

Our family of five adults had a wonderful weekend in this lovely home. Very well equipped and accurate listing. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces after Sensorio and wine tasting and dinner downtown. A good neighborhood for a morning walk. Highly recommend!

Perfect house for friend’s weekend

We had 3 couples staying at the Poe House for a friend’s weekend and it was a perfect fit for what we needed! We could walk downtown, there were pretty outdoor areas to hang out and it was a short drive to the wineries. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful VRBO

Adorable house in a great location. Great communication from host. All the amenities you’d want (hooray for fluffy towels and other nice touches). Wish we’d booked a longer stay so we could use the cozy fire pit. Walking distance to nice restaurants but remote enough that we had deer in the front yard.

Quaint stay

We enjoyed our stay. Some electrical problems in beginning that were immediately taken care of by property managers. Fully stocked with appliances and dishes which were great because we ate many meals at the house. Beds comfy and white towels seemed new and extremely soft. Used the outside fire pit which worked well. Thank you for a very nice stay.

Memorial Day Getaway

The Poe house was a cute little "historic" home. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials which was great. We have tall people in our family, so the beds were a little small but still comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We saw deer in the backyard! So cool! This location is close to town. I would recommend this place.

Incredible house!!

The Poe House is a beautiful historical home which is exactly like the photos. A wonderful place to stay for our family including 2 adult children and their significant others. The house, the yard, fire pit, wrap around porch —perfect! And the management company is very accommodating

Relaxing weekend in Paso Robles

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Poe House was comfortable and had plenty of room for four adults and one dog. The kitchen was well appointed with all the necessary tools to put together morning breakfast before our afternoon of wine tasting. Located in a lovely and quiet neighborhood, perfect for morning walks and close to downtown shops and restaurants. The only critique I could offer, a couple more side tables in the living room would be nice. Would definitely recommend and would rent again.

Overall lovely time in Paso. Home and neighborhood is cute and walkable into town - a major plus but home is quite old with some updates in bathrooms and kitchen but rugs and furniture in desperate need of deep cleaning or replacing.

Great town

The place was very charming, clean, and well-appointed. It also has a nice yard that's fully enclosed. my dogs loved it. The house is centrally-located in a quiet neighborhood close to wineries, restaurants, and an easy trip to the coast and Hearst Castle. We were there during record heat and the AC worked well, and the yard and deck were still fairly pleasant.

review

House layout and bathroom sizes are strange/small. Also, fire pit kept going out and the propane tank was full. Something to do with the gas line. Also, sprinklers come on too early and we got wet. A sprinkler head in the back is broken and shot water straight up for a long time. Suggest fixing that as it is a huge waste of water.
