Very nice stay

The location is beautiful and serene (the deer greeting us every morning were wonderful) and very close to Paso Robles, the wineries, a Trader Joe's and two good coffee places. The host, Jody, was very attentive and a great communicator. Thank you!

Amazing stay in Templeton

We loved our stay in Templeton. Judy was such a gracious host. The rental is on the side of the main house and is a great setup for a family. The property is gorgeous, quiet and relaxing. What a great time and highly recommended.

California scenery

We needed a place to stay for our son-in-law's Cal Poly graduation. It was just the right place to serve all of our needs, but with the bonus of wonderful hosts and such a beautiful California scenery. We even got to see some turkey chicks!

Great stay and hospitable owner!!

We stayed here for a wedding we were attending in Atascadero instead of getting a hotel. It was perfect for us, two couples. Comfortable, quiet and Jody was so nice! She had stocked the fridge with breakfast items and baked us cookies and scones!! Highly recommend!

Great Quiet Spot off the Beaten Path

In short, this property is amazing! It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway, just 20-30 minutes from the beach or Paso Robles. Our hosts were incredible and made sure to make our stay the best it could be and even provided us with some breakfast foods for our first morning. Highly recommend the stay, it may seem a little out of the way, but the truly wonderful and amazing hosts make it beyond worthwhile.

Lovely home

Jody and Mark were gracious hosts and they made us feel right at home. Special details were provided to us from walking us through the rental and showing us where everything was to making fresh homemade banana bread cupcakes! The rental unit was very comfortable with clean sheets, towels and all of the necessities needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. We had a wonderful staying at this lovely home for our son's CalPoly graduation. We highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants to stay at a serene and peaceful environment that feels like home.

A Memorable Time

Everything about our stay was wonderful. Jody and Mark are some of most helpful and gracious hosts we've met. They made everything about our stay with elderly parents easy and comfortable. Their home is beautiful and the environment was amazing. We especially enjoyed the wildlife and the beautiful porch and outdoors area around the house. Definitely a top-notch place to visit and stay!

Wonderful Graduation/Father’s Day/Birthday Weekend

Perfect location! Such a beautiful house tucked away in a relaxing, scenic setting. Jody is a super host who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed from wifi, yummy treats and necessities to all the homey touches. She kept in touch with us throughout our stay all the while a busy weekend herself with her son’s wedding. Such a super host. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location

Jody was so welcoming and quick to respond to questions. She had fresh baked brownies waiting for us, and stocked the refrigerator with a few breakfast staples. The location was absolutely beautiful and peaceful…we loved seeing many deer just outside our windows. Very comfortable rooms, the home is located about 10 minutes from the freeway, making it easy to head into Paso and Cambria

Just Lovely

This is a special property. Nestled in the oaks and green hills you feel a sense of peace and calm. Adding to that was the quaint interior of the apartment with its cozy living area, claw foot tubs and angled ceilings. The beds were very comfortable. Though we don’t have small children anymore, the living area is open and spacious and offers plenty of room for children to play should they grow tired of running around the expansive lawn. We enjoyed our breakfast out on the wrap around porch and secretly hoped for more opportunities to talk with Charlie and Bailey, the resident Golden Retrievers. Jody was such a warm and down to earth host. Very sensitive to the needs of our ASD teen. We had our privacy but felt as if we could ask for anything. I would not trade this experience for a hotel stay no matter how convenient to our destination. This stay was a destination in itself. And though you may feel like you’re a million miles away from the bustle of civilization, it’s actually quite close to town and a short drive to Pismo Beach. I cannot recommend the Landon’s place enough.

Terrific, tranquil getaway for my family

Our family of 4 was looking for a nice, peaceful getaway spot to explore the central coast as well as the Paso Robles area... Jody & Mark’s place was a perfect fit. Setback in the woods a bit, it offered just enough seclusion to be away from things but also close enough to get everywhere we wanted to go. Jody was one of the most accommodating hosts I’ve experienced with our VRBO rentals. Many thanks to her for going the extra mile to make our stay a memorable one. Thank you! We’ll for sure be back another time.

Best VRBO Experience Ever

We arrived to discover this beautiful Vicortian home in a forest like setting and to our host Jody Landon greeting us at the front porch. The home and surrounding area was beautiful. We had several occasions to converse with Jody and her husband and found them to be incredibly nice. They were very accommodating and gracious. Our group consisted of two couples and we intend to make this trip an annual event and to stay at their home. Thank you Jody and Mark for an unforgettable trip.

Great place!

We loved this rental and only wished we could have stayed longer. It’s just as beautiful as the pictures show and absolutely immaculate. So nice to be out in the peaceful countryside with gorgeous views, wildlife, and a million stars at night, yet only 20min from wineries, spas, and restaurants. The beds were comfortable, there was lots of room to relax and the small kitchen was very well stocked for breakfast! Jody and Mark couldn’t have been nicer - friendly and attentive to our needs, yet very respectful of privacy too. We couldn’t have asked for more. We’d love to go back sometime.

Adorable

Our family had a really nice experience. It felt like we were staying in a remote tree house. There’s deer and peacocks roaming the property as you drive up the hill. We explored around the woods nearby (all on the owners property) and it felt like we were camping, but with all the hotel type amenities (hot water, kitchen, TV). It couldn’t have been more relaxing actually. It was so peaceful and quite. Loved it.

Relaxing, serene, peaceful and charming!

My BFFS and I stayed here for our annual "girls weekend". Jody and Mark were the best hosts! They had fresh baked banana bread and a plate of oatmeal cookies for us! Also, she stocked the fridge with a dozen eggs! We had so much fun and the location is so close to Paso Robles, SLO, and Cayucos! We've gone to Cambria the past two years so we thought we'd try something different. I am so blessed to have met Jody...what a gem! You will have to sit on their front porch...this was such a treat!!!! They turned on the lights for us and told us not to worry about the "noise"....but we did our best to be respectful. If you need a place to stay while in town for a weekend definitely book this place!

Beautiful Spot for a Paso Robles Getaway

Jody was the best host and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay in Paso Robles. There is an idyllic drive up to their home, where you are likely to see deer grazing along the way and in their yard. We loved the layout of their VRBO wing of the house with its separate entrance and coded entry. The bedroom and bath downstairs are roomy and well-appointed. The upstairs bedroom, bath and family area with its bonus sleeping options worked well for our group. From the fresh flowers to the unexpected items waiting for our enjoyment in the fridge, everything about this home made us feel very welcome. We found that almost everything we wanted to do in Paso Robles was within a 20 minute drive. If you love hiking, we recommend checking out the Black Hills trail at Morro Bay State Park. The views are gorgeous! We hope to return to Paso Robles in the future and would love the opportunity to stay in this home again. Thanks Jody and Mark!

This rental is adorable! Very well decorated. Not easy to find if you use Google, so follow her fantastic directions. Jody is a wonderful hostess and has great communication. She included baked goodies for us which was a nice touch. This is a country setting. Nice and quiet. It should be noted that this unit is not accessible for those with mobility issues. There is a steep staircase to the main living quarters. Also there are only bathtubs for bathing. No walk in showers. It was very hot when we stayed and the air conditioning wasn't able to keep us cooled. The units either were programmed to turn off after a certain time or they were being manually turned off when we left. Keep in mind this location is 1.5 miles up a single lane road. If you plan to come and go frequently, this might be an issue.

Everything we expected and more. The home is beautiful, spacious and we felt very welcomed by the owners. Very close to wineries, Jody was very helpful and recommended a few wineries since it was our first time going wine tasting. (She even gifted us a few wine passes!!!!) Jody and her husband greeted us and gave us a tour of where we would be staying. They were available and were quick to respond as they live in the main home displayed in the listing. The booking was not for the entire home, but for one wing connected to the properly. Attached to the right of the home, similar to a mother in law house. We felt very comfortable, our family had our own space and beautiful views from the property. We will definitely book this beautiful home again.

About the host

Hosted by Jody Landon

Host profile image
We are empty nesters who love to share our beautiful property and community with others. One of us loves to cook, the other loves to eat. One loves to write and the other loves to read. We live in the house but it is entirely closed off from yours.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property 34 years ago when our growing family needed some elbow room. With a deep respect for the land, we painstakingly designed a large house that we would share with hundreds of friends throughout the years. Now that the kids are gone, we have made some changes to the home so that we can let others enjoy part of the house with their privacy in mind, and the property as well. It is beautiful, covered with oak trees and frequently visited by wild turkeys and deer. It is a truly unique and peaceful place that I know you will not be disappointed in.

The central coast offers hiking, golfing, wine-tasting and we are literally 8 minutes from the 101 and Hwy 46 yet nestled in an oak forest on a beautiful hill. This place is unbelievable, clean and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

The peaceful setting is perfect for a relaxing night sleep yet it is very close to all of the fabulous places to enjoy in the Central Coast! We love our porch with its romantic chandeliers and rocking chairs. Stroll down the road and you're going to see several vineyards as well as wildlife.
