Just booked this cool casa for a xmas getaway for a few days with close family and we had a great time. You're away from it all out in the woods, but can still get to the coast/Cambria in 25 mins and into town/Paso Robles/Atascadero/etc in 15 or so as needed. It has a cozy, rustic feel to it which during the wintertime brought some extra holiday charm, while being equipped with a fully-functional kitchen (+ double oven) and entertainment system. Surfaces and beds were all nice and clean. It got pretty cold and the central heating unit was a bit hit or miss at times, but there are two wood burning fireplace/stoves, so just be sure to load up on firewood at Home Depot on the way in off 101 and you'll be good to go. Only other forewarning would be the entry road, it is not marked very clearly, so definitely arrive before sundown on Day 1, and the dirt road conditions were manageable for a 4x4 Crosstrek but if you drive a smaller, lower car do beware. Either way, we definitely look forward to coming back and trying it out in another season for sure!
