This property was perfect for our Anniversary getaway to the Paso Robles area to see the Sensorio exhibit! We also loved the dinner recommendation to McPhees!
Had a great stay at the bunkhouse. Cute and cozy. Perfect for what we needed for a wedding we were attending at a vineyard down the road. AC unti worked great. Shower was fun. Very cozy spot.

Place was great. Compact but complete. Surrounded by working ranch with animals and wine country. Friendly hosts.
Everything about the place was great! We didn’t find anything wrong with it. The only thing was that Google maps has inaccurate directions to the place but wasn’t difficult to find.
Beautiful ranch amazing hot water out door space great for grilling. A little slice of heaven. Perfect setting to surprise my my partner w the news that we have a baby on the way. Defiantly a memorable trip. Hope to return for our baby moon ❤️
I really loved your place, excellent location love the rustic finish. It was perfect.
Only two things I could comment against are, the people upstairs walking around, thumping on the floor and dropping things was not the best, also a better quality mattress would be a big plus, besides that you have a wonderful place but that’s just my opinion.
Alice and crew were very hospitable. They had three great dogs Winston, Sebastian, Penelope. There also was a new dog visiting, which was a very nice dog too. The ranch House studio was absolutely gorgeous. We loved visiting the alpacas, emus, chickens, cows And goat. Such a great time we had. Oh, I forgot to mention the beautiful horses. We would definitely visit the ranch again.

A rare experience to stay at this lovely ranch, surrounded by animals, in the quiet hills of Edna Valley. The interior of the apartment was very elegant and achieved a rustic vibe but with a high quality build and furnishings. Very romantic and idyllic. The only thing missing was enough hot water to have a proper steamy bath. Otherwise, the complimentary wine, fireplace, and mood lighting made it a perfect one night getaway. Would highly recommend.

The bunkhouse is quaint and unique. It's small but has plenty of room for what we wanted. The mini kitchenette was cute. The toaster oven/coffee pot appliance also has a small cook top area. We didn't use it, but it was really cool. There's a microwave and nice little fridge. The bathtub and shower are very unique. I really liked the whole vibe. The bed was comfy just a little firm for me. I loved that we could walk and visit the animals. I loved the quiet and how peaceful it is there. It's also great that it's only about a mile and a half from the main street. Alive was very nice and helpful. If you want a unique place to stay, this should be on your list. Great, less expensive inland place to stay and drive to visit the beach or participate many of the great activities and events in Paso Robles.

It was awkward finding the building. A direction sign at the top would cap that.
The bed topper made me feel like I was falling in to the middle of the bed the first night. We put a folded up blanket in the middle and slept great the remaining 2 nights. It needs a luggage caddy btwn the sink and shower. One small dresser too.
The bunkhouse was great, and the property was beautiful! Everyone who works on the ranch was extremely friendly. We loved getting to see all the animals on the property.
Well kept vineyard/ranch stay with animals on premises. Minutes from quaint Templeton downtown, close to Paso Robles and SLO. Bring some ice, and best to eat out. Cute decor and fun bathroom.
A lovely property on an active ranch complete with animals of all sizes. We especially liked the chickens & ducks and morning walks around the vineyard. Thank you very much!
I always like to experience unique properties when we are traveling and Z Ranch absolutely did not disappoint!!
We were immediately welcomed by Eddie, then many of the animals, James and Alice. They all were so wonderful at offering suggestions for places to visit, showing us the property and allowing us to help feed the animals.
We stayed in the “Bunkhouse” which is their smaller of their two rentals located on the ranch but it was perfect for my husband and me. The decor and the flow and the unit were very well planned out. It was extremely cozy and comfortable to come back to after a day of wine tasting. The bathroom is super neat also with the large basin shower.
Make sure you take the time to walk over by the trees with the lights in them around sunset, the view is beautiful!!
We needed a place to stay after a weeks vacation in Sonoma & Napa. Our drive home to Southern California was a long one so rather than suffer the very long drive down boring I5 we decided to break it up with a stay halfway which put us in the Paso Robles area. This was a new stop for us and we just needed overnight accommodations. The Z Ranch Bunkhouse fit the bill perfectly. Immaculatly clean, simple but functional and very fun. Funky with character. The Ranch was a fun add. Highly recommended !
Wonderful and peaceful! This was the perfect place to relax on our last stop heading home from the coast. Animals were fun to watch and coffee was great!
