On the ranch you will see that we have 2 donkeys, Desi (black) and Lucy (light grey). Along with our donkeys we have to friendly goats, Fiona (brown) and Sadie (white), they love carrots. but please stick to one carrot a day each, we don't want to over feed them.

The Rock Loft

1 site · Lodging16 acres · Paso Robles, CA
This house is now 1 of 2 vacation rentals on the property. You will definitely notice the home's unique architecture as soon as you walk in. You will not find another home like this nor the massive 50 ft+ rock wall that provides cover to back side of the house.In 2016, after more than 50+ years operating as a working cattle ranch (Brookins Ranch) and a viewing attraction for Adelaida Wine Trail travelers, the property was unfortunately shut down and put up for sale.As a born and raised local, I had to purchase the property with the hopes of restoring it to its greatest and to allow others to enjoy what it has to offer. Since March 2017, my family and I have been working hard on the restoration - attempting to keep a lot of it's uniqueness while integrating modern technologies that will help expand the property's life. As such, we welcome you to come enjoy the experience as we continue to bring this property back to life!

Cabins near Lake Nacimiento guide

Overview

A half-hour drive northeast of Paso Robles, Lake Nacimiento (also known as “Dragon Lake”) makes for an ideal summer getaway for anyone exploring California's Central Coast, and a cabin rental is a great way to hit the lake. There's a ton to do here, from hiking to swimming, boating, and standup paddleboarding. A marina with 120 slips also offers a rental shop where guests can rent pontoons, kayaks, paddleboards, and life vests before hitting the water. Those wishing to spend a few nights will find hundreds of campsites in the immediate vicinity of the lake, as well as quite a few privately owned cabins with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, and woodburning stoves and resorts with cabin vacation rentals. Most cabins are clustered on Nacimiento's eastern shores, but plenty more alternative options and private Hipcamps sit in the surrounding countryside and range from simple cottages to elegant lofts.
