About this property

Lupine Ranch - Wine Country Guest House

Experience country living near the historic town of Templeton, exactly half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. This is the heart of the central coast wine country. The Lupine Ranch consists of 300 private acres of oak covered rolling hills - which guests can use for long hikes and relaxed picnics.

The Guest House at Lupine Ranch has two bedrooms, each with a king bed, and 2 full baths, a full kitchen and an expansive living area. The house has a tree shaded patio with great views perfect for afternoon lounging, evening barbecues and late night star gazing. There is also fire pit (winter only) and a regulation bocce court.

Activities include wine tasting at nearby world class wineries, bicycling on the backcountry roads, or golf at any of the areas challenging courses. Visit one of the areas renowned farmer's market full of fresh local produce, meats, breads, and other goods. Drive to the coastal towns of Cambria, Morro Bay, or San Simian, only +/-40 miles away, and visit the stunning coastline or Hearst Castle. Activities such as wine tours, kayaking and horseback riding can be arranged through local companies.

The Central Coast wine country offers activities year round. Summer turns the hills golden brown and brings outdoor concerts, the California Mid-State Fair. Grape harvest marks the fall when local wineries buzz with activity. Winter rains make for cozy weekends. In spring the hills turn green and the wildflowers are fantastic.

Whenever you decide to come, we will help make your stay one to remember.

For additional housing options on the Lupine Ranch please visit the Wine Country Ranch House, VRBO #467860, for a larger, more private venue. Both houses are available together for larger groups, Family reunions, or company retreats. Please contact the owner for more details.

Great Accommodations

Our host Will was terrific. He showed us around when we arrived and said we could call him at anytime with any questions. The property is amazing. Not too far off the beaten path but far enough to make you unaware of the city. We will definitely stay again.

The house was great. It has lots of space and all we needed was there. Will (the host) was great. He let us stay beyond the check out time. We were able to relax and eat a late breakfast after returning from church on a Sunday morning. We definitely recommend this property. We want to rent this property again when everything around it green, possible in the spring.

This property is located in a beautiful and serene area. Will is a great host and makes sure that your stay is comfortable. The home is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved being able to disconnect from television. We would love to stay here again.

Peace on the Ranch

I went to this location for its peace and quiet. A spacious ranch guest with two bathrooms and two bedrooms provided needed tranquility. The owner was great. House was opened Cooked my breakfast and made coffee. One night enjoyed a glass of 13 year old zin with appetizers on the patio and watched the sunset.

Serene and Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at Lupine Ranch! We were in the location for a Spartan Race, so we needed a comfortable place to stay that was near the race. The Ranch was perfect! We were able to cook an early breakfast and relax after the run. Our host was very helpful, communicative, and accommodating the entire visit. We ran into some issues which caused a late arrival, but our host accommodated our late check in without any issues. We really appreciated the more rural location as it was very peaceful and calm. The house worked great for our group of 3 and was very comfortable. We appreciated the 2 full bathrooms for showers and privacy. If we, or anyone we know is booking something in the area, I would highly recommend Lupine Ranch!

Quiet lovely place to relax from the city

Loved it. It was a nice quiet place with rolling hill all around the property. A nice place to get away from TV and just relax. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and dining room big. There just was no body soap. Good thing I brought my own and the bathroom rug should be replaced. But these were minor issues. I would come again.

Roomy

We had a great time at the house! It was a special treat for our city kids to be able to stay in the country and run around outside to their heart’s content. Plenty for the adults to enjoy in the outdoors as well, particularly the patio with bbq. Beautiful views. I regret that we didn’t get to explore more of the property! Even though it’s quiet and out of the way, we found it easy to get to Paso and the surrounding area. The house is quite large- basically two small homes connected together. We had plenty of space, and the two sides of the house worked very well when we needed a quiet working area and a louder play area. I appreciated the walk through with Will when we arrived so we felt informed and comfortable with everything. The house was well appointed with basic necessities. I think my only complaint was that the tile floors were harsh on my feet- just should have brought some slippers or other indoor footwear. We would definitely stay again if we were back in the area!

Two of us stayed here for a wine tour of Paso Robles. From the moment Will met us at the property when we arrived, to the moment we left - it was perfect. The set up as a “Double Master” allowed us to have our own spaces when needed. Kitchen was fully stocked and more than enough towels and blankets. The grill worked great and the seating on patio was perfect to watch the sunsets over the valley. Everyday being able to walk around the fields and hills was an added bonus. Take his recommendation to visit Caelista winery around the corner - excellent wines and friendly hosts. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Spacious, private, quiet, unique. We loved watching the sunset from the top of the "world", strolling along deserted dirt roads through the fields and under the oaks, watching the skys for redtail hawks as the ground squirrels scurry for shelter. Yes, Will is a great host, and Steve is fun to talk to.

Large house in the country

The house is perfect for a family with two bedrooms two baths. There are also two living rooms There were a couple of downsides. No TV, so bring your devices for streaming. The furniture is all well used. It would’ve felt a lot more welcoming if there had been some basics like makings for coffee, etc.. However, my bed was amazing and I slept better than I sleep

Perfect stay near Paso Robles

We had a great time at the ranch house! We we're two families, each of two adults and a toddler. The house was perfect for us. It is very spacious and well organized, and is essentially composed of two unites that are connected together (the kitchen being in one of them). So it's perfect for two families who want to spend time together. The location is fantastic. The house sits on a huge property, with hills and trails surrounding it, and is right next to many vineyards. Still, it is only a short ten minute drive to Paso Robles. Will has been great in communicating everything before and during our stay. We will certainly stay in the ranch house again next time we're in the area!

Peaceful

My husband and I came with my 88 year old FIL. Perfect location for some peace and quiet. The home is quit large and allowed privacy for each of us, bedrooms and baths were on opposite sides of the home Nice to come back here each day to just relax and unwind. Location in the middle of fields but like 10min from Trader Joes.
