Peaceful and fun getaway!
This home is better than the photos -- spacious, bright, clean, and well-equipped. The back patio is beautiful with deer right beyond the fence every morning. Bren, the property owner, is very kind and helpful, made us feel right at home.

Quaint and Cozy
We had a wonderful stay here, it was very comfortable for our needs. The property was clean except, the living room couch is a little tired and dirty . Bryn was a great host and Lucy and Lacey were a pleasure . They greeted us every morning 😊All in all a great spot for my husband and I to relax and get away for a small stay.

Lovely Stay in Atascadero
We loved our stay at Vita Amorosa. This little ranch house fits perfect with the setting and the interior is detailed to a t so that it’s homey and exquisitely stylish at the same time. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next visit. Bren is a wonderful host, too. He’s so kind, considerate, and his spices are fantastic.

Awesome stay for us and the Pup
Our family stayed here during the grad weekend at cal poly and we had an amazing time! Our puppy had so much space that was dog friendly to run around and hangout as well. Highlight were Bren’s spices that we enjoyed and took home including some cilantro from the garden! I hope to be back!

Great rental with magnificent views. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the seasonings blends that the owner, Bren, left us and the fresh vegies from the garden was another fun bonus. We highly recommend!

Peaceful Paso
My father and I stayed over the weekend because we were in town for a wedding. It was such a relaxing place to stay and unwind around all the hoopla for the wedding. Bren was such a friendly person and we even got quite a bit of his secret spices for later. His two little dogs were very friendly as well.

Beautiful oasis
We spent 4 wonderful days at Vita Amarosa. The guest house was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and very private. It was furnished with everything you would need for a relaxing stay. Bren went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and at the same time give us our privacy. As an added bonus we received wonderful spices to take home and remind us of our wonderful trip every time we use them. We will definitely stay at Vita Amarosa again; we look forward to seeing the deer again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bren’s little cottage was absolutely perfect. Nice amenities and furnishings. While it’s on the same property as the owner Bren, he was respectful of our privacy and he’s a very nice man. He gave us a bunch of his famous seasonings and they made the bbq we had amazing. I will be back.

Amazing does not do this property justice
This is an amazing place to stay. In fact, I really don't want to share, due to I would like to keep Bren's jewel a secret. Everything from communication, to the furnishings, to how quiet this place is was top notch. I appreciate Bren and being able to communicate with him directly. One thing which stood out immediately was how clean everything was. Yes, some places are "clean", but this place was over the top clean. It was amazing and sanitized to the point of I felt at home. I hope to stay at Bren's place again in the future and I look forward to being able to share more great reviews. Thank you for having us Bren and I hope you will have us back in the near future.

Paso Robles wine country
Well equipped house with higher end appliances and furnishings in a quiet neighborhood with an out in the woods feel. King size bed was firm and extremely comfortable. Wonderful shower with 2 shower heads in master bath and tub in hall bath. Back patio with table for eating steaks grilled on the stainless gas grill was quiet with beautiful view of the wooded hills. Bren lives in the main house on the property and is super friendly and hospitable. Loved our 3 day stay and would go back.

Home away from Home
A wonderful cozy house. Very well stocked. Bren, the owner, was a delight. By the way your tomatoes were really delicious. The yard is fully enclosed. We have a dog. He loved playing with the owner's dogs and being able to run in a large enclosed area. Our grandchildren came to visit. The house has a swing and slide set plus a climbing wall. All in all a wonderful stay. We'll be back!!

Great Cottage in a peaceful setting
Cottage is just what we hoped, and had more nice touches than the photos showed. On arrival the host Bren gave us a few tips on the region, as we are not familiar with the area. We felt very comfortable immediately, and the space in the yard and beyond provide such a relaxing atmosphere. We (family of three, child is a teen) all very much enjoyed our stay and will stay here again on our next journey to or through the area. Bren is an excellent host - very kind and available with his knowledge, but busy with his work; PRVR are astute and checked that our stay was progressing as expected - an excellent pairing for a vacation stay.

Vita Amorosa
Everything was lovely, the back yard was special and we even saw two huge owls on one of the evenings that we enjoyed sitting in the back yard. We saw a deer one day when we came up the driveway. The one downside (the reason for 4 stars) was the internet connection was spotty. Fortunately, my husband did not have to work this trip, but if he would have had to work, the connection would not have permitted that. Everything else was lovely. Bren left us some of his spices and we enjoyed those thoroughly.

Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We have a golden retriever who loves the large fenced in yard. You will definitely enjoy your visit!

family reunion. two couples stayed at the property.
Beautiful guest house with great amenities. Pictures totally accurate- beautiful back deck with view of oak trees and mountains beyond. Quiet and relaxing. Great kitchen to work with. Owner Bren is a great guy, very friendly and informative. Available if you need him and out of the oicture if you need privacy. Great host. He also produces his own line of grilling seasonings which he gifts you as his guests, Very generous and thoughtful. Will be back and 100% recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bren pays attention to all the little details. This house was cleaner than any hotel we’ve ever stayed. It’s a peaceful little house away from the traffic. We spent a lot of time in the backyard enjoying the quiet. The house is located close to just about everything. Bren was a terrific host and left us wanting for nothing. He also gave us some of his spice mixes to take home. We will definitely be back.
