About this property

Charming Retreat Home Amid Oak Trees in Central Coast Wine Country

The Carndonagh House is perfect for a romantic couple getaway or small family (2 adults 2 children) retreat. We only allow short stays of a week or less. Please enter the total number of guests when you book so that we can have the beds, linens, and towels ready for your stay.

This lovely home is walking distance (less than a mile) to downtown Atascadero with the Sunken Gardens, wine bars, movie theater, boutique stores, craft breweries, and restaurants. The Carndonagh House is also centrally located between Paso Robles wineries (15 minutes to the north), San Luis Obispo (20 minutes south,) and beautiful central coast beaches 20 minutes to the southwest.

The Carndonagh House is a 1000 sq foot home on two levels. The two upstairs bedrooms are furnished for comfort in the industrial farmhouse style. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and sitting area. Bedroom two has a twin daybed with a twin trundle.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room, flat screen television with ROKU ( Amazon Prime and Hulu), DVD player, free WiFi and fireplace. The front patio is the perfect place for you to enjoy your morning coffee and to relax after a day at the beach or wine tasting. Common sights you may see are deer, squirrels and the stars in the night sky. Bubbling seasonal creek runs through the property in winter.

The owners live in a nearby house on the same oak-studded property.

There is a $25 per night fee for extra guests over the original two guests. VRBO will calculate this extra fee when you book so there won't be any surprises. Maximum Occupancy - Four people.

PLEASE NOTE: local ordinance only allows 2 cars maximum.

We're looking forward to hosting great people.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck and Dawn Doherty

Host profile image
Chuck and I finished remodeling The Carndonagh House in October 2017. We are HUGE "Fixer Upper" fans and have transferred many of Chip and Joanna Gaines' ideas into our home.

The Carndonagh (Carn-Donna) House is named for the town of Chuck's ancestors in Donegal, Ireland. We adore Ireland and everything Irish!

Both of us adore entertaining! We want our guests to love the Central Coast Wine Country as much as we do. Our goal is a beautiful and comfortable home and great hospitality.

Looking forward to meeting you! Blessings!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Central Coast Wine country several years ago. We explored it often staying in a variety of vacation rentals. It's been our dream to buy a home in this area and provide the very best to our guests. We hope other travelers will fall in love with this area while staying in our beautiful home.

What makes this property unique

We have over 300 wineries in our area! This is the PERFECT place to visit if you love great wines and excellent food.

There is a weekly farmer's market walking distance from Carndonagh House.

Sitting on the front patio sipping wine in the early evening is the highlight of our day.

The kitchen's open shelving is both attractive and functional. It allows the guests to see where dishes are kept.

The primary bedroom is a modern farmhouse delight with an iron bed and plush comforters.

In bedroom two there is a very special wardrobe that will be of interest to any Narnia fans.
