Poe House is a wonderful home in Paso. It is close to town and has a lovely outdoor area to enjoy. We will certainly be back.
5.0 / 5.0
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!

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
Great place. We didn’t spend much time there as we were in town for a family reunion held elsewhere. But this home was very comfy and nicely decorated. There’s even a Viking range!
3.0 / 5.0
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.

We were two couples who met up for the weekend to enjoy the wineries and local hiking and good food. The location was perfect and the house was great for hanging out and cooking.

We saw this house on Vrbo, and saw how many positive reviews it had, and just went on the rating and we were not disappointed. The only negatives we have to offer our the fact that, since it is an old house with single pane windows, it was chilly. But they had this really lovely gas-fired fireplace that we kept on pretty much the whole weekend that warmed the place right up! I do wonder if we stayed there in the summer how different it would be trying to keep the place cool... we are going to note that because we are card players. We love the fact that the dining room table has this “card table top” that made playing games fantastic! We will definitely rent this place the next time we come down to Paso Robles!

This home is super cute and was the perfect size for our three-person girlfriend stay. We love how the owners have retained the charm of this historic home while making it functional and fabulous. Its location provided easy and quick access to downtown Paso and was in a quiet and adorable neighborhood.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the fireplace added a charming, comfortable setting for wine and conversation.

My family and I had a great time staying at the Poe house for a couple of nights when visiting Paso Robles. The historic house is very charming yet surprisingly functional. There are 3 bedrooms and an additional "bonus" room which was perfect for our dog. One of the bedrooms has an attached bath and the 2nd bath is between bonus room and another bedroom. Dining room was a bit small but the dining table was big enough for our group of 5 adults and 1 baby. The biggest plus for this property is LOCATION - within a ten minute walk to downtown Paso Robles. Property was clean and well maintained and I recommend it to anyone looking for historic charm and great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Poe House. The house is quaint but with modern amenities. Some of the decor brought back fond memories of my grandmother's home - cute pieces of china, doilies, quilts, paintings, etc. We were in Paso Robles for a wedding and are so happy that we stayed at the Poe House rather than a hotel. All four of us adults got ready in comfort and arrived at the wedding venue with ease as the house is centrally located. We enjoyed a few meals from eateries that were just a few blocks away. Our dog enjoyed his leashed walks around the yard and around the block. We even saw a deer (doe) and her baby walking down the street across from the house in July!!! The house was clean and orderly upon arrival and checkout was easy. Thank you to the staff of Paso Robles Vacation Rentals who were professional, responsive, friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean and comfortable historic home with all the amenities for a short stay. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the backyard for outdoor BBQ and dining. We didn't watch TV; however, the Living room had only enough seating for three people. We did most of our conversing in the Dining room and backyard dining table. The instructions for the thermostat when leaving the premises was conflicting. One set of instructions said to increase to 85 degrees, another said to turn off the thermostat.
4.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect! So charming! Was perfect for our extended weekend stay. The backyard was maintained, however, it wasn’t fully enclosed, which made having dogs a little difficult (since deer walk around). Otherwise, would 100% stay again!

The proximity to everything downtown is amazing! Quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed the modest backyard and the patio spaces. Would stay again!

Initial access problem resolved quickly. Staff fixed the toilet quickly. The shared bathroom shower had no volume control and sink drained poorly. Stove hood would not turn on. Dining room table cloth was soiled. Outdoor areas had to be cleaned before use.

We loved this house so much, my extended family live in Paso and we needed a place to stay for the weekend while visiting from Hawaii. Everything was perfect, loved the coffee they left for us and the fact that all the kitchen equipment was in great shape. We will be back whenever we visit Paso Robles. Thank you!!

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.

As others have said, this is a great place to stay while visiting Paso. Nice walk to town and restaurants. Home was clean and comfy - appeared as presented in pictures and written details. Nice quiet street. We would stay there again.

Wonderful, charming home! Loved the firepit table. Dining room is fun. Showers are nice. The fold out bed was not usable as a bed which was disappointing. Way to bumpy. Pillows were pretty flat as well. Overall really enjoyed it besides those two issues.
5.0 / 5.0
This was the second time my friends and I stayed at Poe House while enjoying a weekend of wine, food and conversation in Paso Robles. The historic house is small but comfortable, in a great location to walk to the town square with its fine restaurants and shops. Good launching point for wineries and trips to the much cooler coastal towns. Despite the home's age, it had effective air conditioning for the summer Paso heat. There were a few minor maintenance items that needed attention, but we let the management know.

Was in Paso to enjoy the wineries and restaurant scene. The house was perfect, comfy bedrooms, big bright kitchen and lots of communal space (inside and out). We walked every morning and enjoyed viewing the homes throughout the neighborhood.

This was the perfect spot for our mini family reunion. We sat out on the lovely deck for great chats and had lovely meals on the table in the back garden. We even got to hear the music from the fair which was great. It was perfect and charming

Feels Like Home
The Poe House is a beautiful cottage on a quiet street near downtown Paso Robles. From the white picket fence to the lovely garden, the moment you park your car, the entire experience feels like you’re home.
But the property experience is more than the look and feel of the home, the property management company is top notch. They check in with you and ensure you have an amazing time in their town, providing you with recommendations and suggestions for things to do and visit. I really appreciated their attention to detail.
Definitely recommend visiting Poe house…you’ll never be disappointed!

We loved our weekend at the Poe house. We were traveling with two teenagers and we all loved being able to walk to town for dinner, shopping and we even found live music!
The house is adorable and we will be back to stay again.
Our only complaint .... the beds need newer more comfortable mattresses.

This property exceeded all my expectations. Plenty of room for my group, very clean and super comfortable. Other than not having a smart TV, I can’t really come up with any other down side. This is located within a half mile of the park down town and is an easy walk. It’s located on a corner and has ample street parking for all the guests. I highly recommend and I will be back. Cheers.
