Enjoy Hilltop Vistas, a private, gated hilltop home, located at 9705 Santa Cruz Road in the west hills of Atascadero and professional managed by Templeton Vacation Rentals, on two private acres just minutes from downtown Paso Robles and its world-class wineries. Hilltop Vistas is located on 2.5 acres of oak-studded forest, centrally located in San Luis Obispo County, just about 30 minutes drive from all of these popular destinations: the bustling city of San Luis Obispo, the Cal Poly University campus, the beaches of Morro Bay, and the Wine Country of Paso Robles. But you might not want to leave this peaceful oasis, with your own private pool in the courtyard, a fire pit with seating on the front porch, amazing sunset and sunrise views, and another fire pit table near the pool!
🏡 The Living Space

Our den also provides an additional queen-sized bed if needed.
Gather & Relax: Step into the great room, a gracious space anchored by two fireplaces, plush seating, and large windows framing sweeping hillside views. Rich hardwood floors, thoughtful décor, and an abundance of natural light create a warm and inviting environment for socializing or quiet evenings.
Equipped Kitchen: The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen featuring a substantial stainless-steel prep island with integrated pasta sink and bar seating, double ovens, a professional gas range, wine fridge and ample workspace — ideal for preparing group meals, family dinners, or casual bites after a day of wine tasting.
