This was our third visit to Lake Nacimiento in the least six or seven years. We always stay at Hope's Place - it's comfortable, beautifully maintained, and the location is unbeatable. Perched all by itself on a bluff overlooking the dam, it's remarkably private and quiet yet just a five minute drive to either the marina or to the little village where there's an excellent grocery store, a gas station and a lively pizza joint. The marina offers for rent about a dozen brand new and very fancy deck boats (not cheap...). We also highly recommend the "Friends of Fred Wakeboarding School" if you want to do some wakeboarding - also not cheap, but a wonderful experience.

Our family had a great time taking in the views and playing the various games available at the house. We even saw a bald eagle hanging out in a tree on the ridge. On our drives around the area, we also saw a golden eagle, more bald eagles, prarie falcons, tule elk, jackrabbit, and wild boar, so the nature viewing was fantastic. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfortable house with plenty of space for our party of 5, we even used the guest room off the garage. Nice views, fun outdoor games and great patio space. The internet could be better, we all used our hotspots periodically because download speeds were incredibly slow---made it nearly impossible to stream a movie.As for the water pressure in the kitchen---the worst ever. Cleaning up after making a meal was torture. The faucet produces a tiny trickle of water. My recommendation on cooking a meal---don't!

We had a very relaxed and chill Thanksgiving trip with our friends & families.

Excellent!!!!

We all enjoyed our stay at Hope's place! The house has everything you need plus so much more. The kids loved the game room and bikes. The views were great and it was so serene. We had a family of deer visit every evening we were there. Lake and store were close by. It was a great vacation!

The home is equipped better than most peoples own homes. Clean and well spelled out as far as “house rules” ie, what is trash, water usage...For our family a place fir everyone. We enjoy working as family in kitchen. Love it! Can’t wait to be back next year. Thank you for sharing your home.

No major problems, just incredibly slow internet which made it hard to work-from-home.

The house comfortably accommodated everyone, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the awesome views from the property as well, very relaxing!

Views outside and a nice escape.
Seems like linens are professionally cleaned, which is a major bonus.
Location is a ways out from Paso, and cell/internet service is a bit limited. Use this as a place to connect with family and friends who are with you. Property is on a well, so you’ll need to limit water usage, but this is always a good practice.

We enjoyed our stay here - two families totaling 4 adults and 7 kids, aged 4-14. The kitchen has just about every item you could imagine (including an "Evil Villain Lair", ha! = locked supply closet). The hilltop location was fun for the morning mist, sunset and stars! I only wish it had been a warmer month to sit out and stare at the stars longer... The game room part isn't heated, but the kids didn't care. Overall, it met our needs well, and the hosts were super friendly when we contacted them with a question. If we come to stay in this area again, we would definitely check to see if this house was available.

The house is located on top of a hill overlooking a a gorgeous forest of twisted oaks covered in Spanish moss. A very striking view and place to take a walk opening up to the view of Lake Nacimiento. There are two other houses on the driveway, that you really don't see or hear from the house. The rest of the surroundings are nature, including the very, very starry sky. The kitchen and bedrooms are extremely well appointed, the shades in the bedroom completely block the light, (except in the guest room); you can count on a very peaceful night sleep. The kitchen is huge, and so is the dining table. Perfect for a large group. The wifi is not great, so streaming movies on the Roku looks a bit pixelated. They have a DVD player. You can bring your own movies. They also have a small collection.

Newer home, says it sleeps 12 but only 4 bedrooms. One bedroom has a very comfortable fold out couch in addition to bunk beds. Families with kids could fit 12, but if its all adult couples then 8 ; 10 if two couples double up in the bunk room. Granny unit and game room were both nicely done. Its a little tricky getting out of the driveway on to the main road so be careful. We had a great time and plan to go back again.

The house was clean and well stocked, more so than I’ve seen in other places we’ve stayed. We loved the solitude and views from the property. Just wanted to mention a few things. We were discouraged from drinking the well water. There was a water dispenser in the kitchen which was convenient, until the large glass jugs ran out. We were given smaller plastic water jugs which needed to be kept on the counter, with the spout over the kitchen sink. The spout was a pain to use and the jugs just kept getting in the way. Making sure there’s a backup supply of the glass jugs would be a plus. Also, the internet wasn’t as reliable as it should be for those needing to conduct business. Not sure if this was do to the remote location or whatever. Maybe something for the owners to look into.

The location was perfect, the house was amazing very clean and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The house was very kid friendly with lots of games and things for them to do. Very close to the Lake which was awesome b/c that’s where we spent most of the day. Definitely recommend Hope’s place and I would definitely stay there again!!

Even with oppressive heat over 100, we had a lovely stay in a cozy, well furnished house. Highlight was watching the glorious stars at night. Phenomenal. Even though the lake is an isolated location, we took nice drives to Paso Robles and Cambria for day trips.

The location is really great too. It is five minutes from the Lake Nacimiento launch ramp and a little shy of 20 minutes away from some cute wineries. We are looking forward to going back!

The house was clean and spotless when we arrived. We were suprised at how well the kitchen was stocked, every tool you need to cook and clean is provided. The outside amenities included corn hole, BBQ grill, and smoker. Lots of space for the dogs to run and play as well. Cant beat the sunset here and viewing the stars at night. Wifi and TV worked as advertised. I would definitely stay here again. Also the house is only a 5 min drive from the grocery store and the lake.

Property was generally clean and tidy. There was enough beds for everyone. Bathrooms were clean. Plenty of space for our large family to hangout. Appliances could use a little update. The microwave blew out while popping popcorn. The range burner was all on or not. Water pressure is a bit low but considering elevation, it is what it is. Outdoor grill could use a cleaning. These are just a few minor inconveniences, but the view and the space is so nice. We’d come back again the next time there is a wine tasting event in the area.
