Nestled in the heart of the country-side, our 12 acre farm stead is only 10 minutes away from Morro Rock and a short distance to the Paso Robles wine country with over 300 wineries for tastings. Frog Hollow is perfectly located for the weekend break or a leisurely mid-week holiday. Come visit us and check out our lovely farm stead and quaint comfy living. Shiloh, our Border Collie, is on site to greet you upon arrival. We have 9 friendly chickens which lay eggs, during the warm months, winter is a bit sketchy, so sometimes there are no eggs, for fresh eggs that you may gather in the morning. Along with our flock we have 2 lovable goats, Fiona and Clifton, that enjoy accompanying you on your evening stroll. Our free standing casita is cozy and nestled in a natural serene creekside setting. The loft has a spacious queen size bed for your sleeping pleasure with adjustable reading lights on either side of the bed. The living area offers a pull out couch for another adult or 2 kids.
The casita has its own small refrigerator, coffee maker & grinder, tea kettle, toaster oven, and is stocked with all the amenities that you will need for cooking if you choose to do so. Just bring your own groceries. There is a nice BBQ area for your outdoor cooking as well and a lovely fire pit for evening marshmallows and wine.
The outdoor bathroom has your own spacious shower and a port a potty. Grab a few eggs from the girls, when they’re laying, and create your own omelette with our veggies from our seasonal garden or from our local farmers market. There is a short walk up the hill with a comfy bench to enjoy the amazing views which make for a great sunset or warm morning sun while enjoying your coffee. Enjoy local wine by the fire after a long day of hiking or chilling by the beach.
If its peace and quiet you are looking for and a place that is convenient to explore our lovely area full of hiking trails, wine tasting, olive oil tasting, great restaurants, and a quick drive to surf, then this is the place to stay.
Hi, my husband Jason and I bought this property in the fall of 2016. We relocated here from Santa Barbara, Ca. Jason, a Californian and me a Wisconsin-ite, he wanted to stay close to the surf and I wanted the acreage. Me, owning a bar for the past 14 years and Jason in real estate development for 23 years we felt heading to the central coast would be a new and exciting change. We packed up our border collie Shiloh and hit the road.
This 12 acre farm stead is the perfect of both worlds. We are 10 minutes from the ocean and have plenty of land to start our organic gardens and space for all our critters. Not to mention there are plenty of amazing wineries down the road.
Staying with us you are within minutes of some great surf spots as well as hiking and biking trails. We are a mere 20 minutes from both San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles which both offer some hip shopping and tasty dining. Plus the quaint town of Santa Margarita is just minutes away to the south and the charming town of Templeton is minutes away to the north. Both of these towns offer some excellent local dining along with local wines.

The little house was fine, but we were hoping for more out of the other aspects of the property - the hiking trails, the farm animals. The web site made it sound like there would be a lot to explore between hiking trails and farm animals, but we never received a full orientation of the property or invitation to wander around. The web site description also mentioned fresh eggs, muffins, and vegies. Once there, we were never shown the chicken coop nor invited to collect eggs. We were not shown the vegetable garden, if there was one, and as for the muffins, I guess we were supposed to bring our own.
Definitely recommend, peaceful and clean.
Our weekend stay at Dana’s was wonderful. Dana knew we would be coming in late, and turned the bottom bed down and left the light on (much appreciated) I had expressed that we’d love to meet her, so she greeted us with a bottle of wine, which we enjoyed by the fire. (I’m sure if you just wanted to be left alone she’d do just that) We had wondered how close we would be to the house, It is close, but separated by a hill, so it feels very private. (Not like you are right next to the house by any means) The place itself is adorable, clean, comfortable and well equipped for all your basic needs. The water both inside and out (shower)is definitely hot! (Actually, be careful if turning on just the hot 😉�) It is an on demand system, so don’t plan on taking one shower after another, but wait a few minutes and it’s perfect, we had three people, and gave it a half hour in between to be safe. I woke up early, and had my coffee while enjoying the many deer who had come to visit, along with the goats, and chickens (who have the whole property but seem to want to be near you which is precious.) The dog Shilo, and cat, Jed are friendly and so enjoyable! just adding to the overall welcoming experience. We spent one afternoon working with Dana in her studio on bracelets that we created for our “mother daughters weekend” that’s something you would decide if you wanted to do or not, and also if she had the time, (I’d ask in advance, not to assume that she would) This is “glamping” without worrying about others ruining your time with loud parties etc. Expect rustic, clean, and not a party place, this is a peaceful getaway. You could definitely quickly and easily go into town for wine tasting, shopping... (it’s close) we preferred to just hang out in our pjs and enjoy.
If your looking for an great place to stay, and you love the outdoors (rather than being cooped up in a hotel room) this is it.
What a nice getaway! This casita is the very definition of Tiny House, but it is functional, comfortable, and made with care. The hostess Dana and her crew couldn't have been nicer. We loved meeting her chickens and goats, and enjoyed some fresh eggs for breakfast. Stars fill the night sky, and music from crickets and frogs provided a welcome change from the usual chaos of a sleepless city. We'll definitely stay here again!
Such awesome vibes in the casita and across the property!
Dana and her husband were the most gracious of hosts. They made sure that my boyfriend and I had everything we might need to make a wonderful dinner and have a completely relaxing and comfortable night. The decor inside of the casita was the perfect blend of brand new and rustic and the end result was absolutely charming. Their animals will completely melt your hearts and make you feel like you are truly in the county while the beach is just down the road. We loved our time here and can't wait to come back again to this awesome spot. Thank you to our hosts for making our stay so welcoming and perfect.
