About this property

Stay in the heart of West Side Wine Country - Summit Schoolhouse on Peachy Cyn

Built around 1890 and in service as a one room schoolhouse until 1943, the Summit Schoolhouse is truly a special place. Located on Peachy Canyon Road in the Willow Creek AVA, a main artery connecting many Paso Robles west side wineries, you get to enjoy the peace and quiet of the country, while still being only 15 minutes away from all that downtown Paso Robles and Templeton have to offer. If you have an electric or hybrid vehicle, there is a 50-amp plug for our guests to charge their cars.

Soaring 11 foot ceilings, give the cozy space a large and airy feel, which includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry, great room and gourmet kitchen. Situated on two terraced acres, the outdoor area is dotted with several walnut trees and includes a flagstone patio, handmade wine barrel dining table with seating for 8, bocce ball court, fire pit, native landscaping and Adelaida stone walls. Grilling outdoors on the Weber Genesis E-310 gas barbecue allows you to enjoy a game of bocce ball while getting dinner ready at the same time.

The schoolhouse was carefully restored, keeping all improvements period specific to maintain the integrity of the 110+ year-old structure. At the same time, we were able to add complementary upgrades such as marble and Caesarstone countertops in the kitchen and baths, Viking range and dishwasher, paneled French door refrigerator, Thelin pot belly-style stove in the living room, 55" Sony flatscreen TV, American Leather brand sofa bed (no springs...this one is so comfortable!), Wi-Fi, Direct TV and vintage lighting.

Restoratively, we recycled the 110+ year-old redwood that was taken from the original siding of the house to accommodate the addition, and use it to construct the kitchen island, over-range vent hood, window cornices and various cabinet doors. The original board and batten style wall construction was maintained throughout the new addition space and the original wood-trimmed screens were modified to fit the repaired windows. The original windows with hand blown glass panes and restored rope pulls remain in the main part of the house.

The expansive porch has seating for four and is perfect for coffee or a glass of wine and waving to the frequent cyclers that take advantage of the connectivity of Peachy Canyon Road from downtown to Vineyard Drive. There is also a dry-farmed hilltop vineyard that provides for a great view of the vine cycle from Spring to late November. After which, the area is buzzing with the local walnut harvest.

This vacation rental is a licensed business within San Luis Obispo County. There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property.

What a great property!
The house and surrounding property is wonderful. Nice and peaceful up in the hills. The house is adorable/ very well updated. The outdoor areas are very relaxing. Nice dark skies at night. We can’t wait to visit again.

Perfect Property
Our family really loved staying at this property. The property is beautiful inside and out. The renovation of the old school structure was done perfectly, keeping hints of the old use, while tastefully updating it. The house was extremely clean, and fully stocked (kitchen, toiletries, board games, etc.). And our 6-year-old really enjoyed the outdoor space, as well as exploring the surroundings. The bocce ball court and the fire pit provided endless outdoor entertainment. The internet connection was fast. We did not have one single issue with this property. In addition, the location is perfect for access to wineries. This may be our favorite rental property. We cannot wait to come back.

Perfect Stay
We loved our stay at the schoolhouse. So quiet and peaceful. I loved reading a book out on the front porch in the morning, just listening to the sounds of nature. Kitchen is beautiful and well appointed with everything you need to make a meal. The fire pit was super cozy. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Tesoriero

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 20 years and along with our two children, reside in Orange County, California. Growing up, I vacationed on the Central Coast with my parents and grandparents and have continued the tradition with my husband, our college friends and now our kids.

Through all of our various phases of life, we have enjoyed many special times with family and friends from San Luis Obispo to San Simeon. The Central Coast, and specifically Paso Robles and our little schoolhouse, hold a special place in our heart.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of its historic charm and amazing location. Our family has vacationed on and enjoyed the Central Coast for over 35 years and feel so fortunate to now have a place to call our own.

Our family loves the location on the West Side because it is central to many wineries, downtown Paso Robles and the coast. All of our personal favorite wineries are located no more than 15 minutes from our home and we continue to discover more favorites as the industry expands.

The home and its outdoor space offer such a relaxing respite from our busy work and school routine. Even if we only spend a weekend, we leave refreshed and ready to face the week ahead. Because we can't spend as much time in Paso Robles as we would like, we chose to share this truly special place with others.
