Chanticleer Vineyard Bed & Breakfast

Twice my husband and I have stayed at Chanticleer Vineyard Bed & Breakfast for a romantic and luxurious getaway. It’s a beautiful, serene setting with absolutely spectacular views. The elegant rooms are private, quiet, impeccably maintained, and couldn’t be more comfortable.
As a hostess, Carolyn has provided touching personal accommodations way above and beyond our expectations. The excellent recommendations she provides for activities, dining, and wineries are consistently among our favorite experiences in Paso Robles. She is a fantastic cook, and her exquisite, gourmet breakfasts are always among our favorite meals.
Carolyn and Roland are amazing hosts and lovely, fascinating people. We just wish we had more time during our trips to visit with them! We’ve recommended Chanticleer to friends and family, and cannot recommend it more highly on Unilocal

This was my third time here. Roland, a retired firefighter, and Carolyn, a retired nurse, are delightful hosts. They provide luxury accomodations, three rooms with serene vineyards views, balcony, mini-​fridge, microwave, in-​room coffee and tea, cookies and sweets, soaking tubs, soft sheets, gourmet breakfast and a bottle of local wine included. Two friendly dogs and two cats are on the property. We were in Room 1 this time, whicn also has a gas fireplace. 10 per cent discount for active and retired military. The property is conveniently located not far from downtown Paso Robles and many wineries and the hosts can help guide you on local restaurants and wineries.

I had the opportunity to indulge in a spring get away and experienced luxury and pampering at it’s finest. Beautiful property with luxurious accommodations, and the gourmet breakfast was as beautiful as it was delicious. The owners are warm and welcoming, quick to see if we needed reservations for dinner or recommendations for things to do and see. Overall I came home relaxed and rested, and already looking forward to planning our next visit.

I cannot say enough about Chanticleer. We have stayed here for many years and have always felt welcomed and all needs or wants cared for. Carolyn and Roland are great hosts. And, breakfast is to die for. I highly recommend Chanticleer Bed and Breakfast.

Carolyn and Roland are wonderful hosts. Friendly and down to earth. You truly feel like welcome guests.
Food was yummy and the atmosphere restful. Great place to unwind and/​or rest between wine outings.
An excellent place to stay.

The place, Paso Robles. The owners, Carolyn and Roland. The experience? Divine.
Just a super lovely, comfortable, warm and welcoming place to be. Both Carolyn and Roland are gracious and fun. The rooms are beautifully furnished and comfy. Carolyn’s breakfasts were enough to power my wife and I through to dinnertime. The time flew by and going back again is a no brainer.

For our 35^th wedding anniversary our children gave us a 2 night stay at the Chanticleer Vineyard Bed & Breakfast. It was priceless. Carolyn & Roland were so sweet and made you feel so comfortable. You felt like you lived there. We can’t wait to go back. The room that we stayed in was very comfortable, the sheets to die for and the view was priceless. The breakfast that was served every morning was incredible. The next time you go to Paso Robles, this is the place to stay.
Thank you Carolyn & Roland,
Jim & Debbie Westcott

I’m very excited to say that I will be giving up everything I own in San Diego, moving into room #2 and I am never leaving.
Carolyn & Roland were amazing hosts. I found myself relating to Carolyn while flipping through her recipe book and tasting her chocolate cake and bottled wine from their vineyard. While my boyfriend related to Roland over beer, fiddling in the workshop, and the barn. A charming couple and generous hosts.
We packed our bags friday morning and started driving north to Paso Robles. Since we had a 5 hour drive ahead of us, we decided we would dedicate that time to researching every possible B&B and hotel in the area. Long story short, after 2 hours we came across Chanticleer Vineyard B&B. I spent another 30 min reading every review possible and looking at the photos before I decided to book it.
We were greeted with a warm smile and shown to our room. The fireplace was lit and we took in the scent of fresh lavender. Carolyn showed us where everything was including a bottle of chilled champagne, flutes with strawberries, a warm chocolate bundt cake, and bottle of red wine. We poured a glass of champagne and went out to the balcony to take in the view. It was breathtaking, exactly what we expected!
In the morning Carolyn had a gorgeous table set with amazing breakfast prepared. The two other couples that were staying there sat down with us. 2 hours later we were full, feeling good and laughing with our new friends.
I could go on and on about our wonderful weekend. Just book it & you will see!
Tip: Check out the barn with the pizza oven and pool table. Then take a long walk around the vineyard!

I picked Chanticleer as the base for a weekend getaway in which I proposed to my fiancé. Well, I don’t know if the proposal would have gone differently at another B&B, but she said yes so this place is great!
Really, though.
This is a fantastic little gem in Paso wine country, and the personalized treatment that Carolyn, the «proprietress,» offers is unparalleled. I coordinated a full picnic basket and table for two in the onsite vineyard, which is where I popped the question. Carolyn did all the shopping and setup, and only charged the food items to my bill on checkout. She also arranged an in-​room couples massage and gave me great restaurant recommendations (it was my first time visiting Paso).
The rooms are charming and nicely appointed. The breakfast that is served every morning is amazing. And is entirely cooked by Carolyn.
It’s a great B&B on its own, but the personalized treatment and class that the owners display puts it above the rest.

My husband and I have stayed at the Chanticleer B&B several times over the past few years and I’ve never been let down once. Carolyn and Roland truly know how to property run an B&B and they always go the extra mile to make your stay special and enjoyable. The rooms are cozy with the most amazing views of the vineyards. The breakfast Carolyn makes is one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! Best part is she shares her recipes in a cookbook you can purchase, so you can make at home as well! The location is most ideal. Not too far from Hwy 101, but far enough away so you don’t hear any traffic noise. We often takes walks down the the barn in the evening to enjoy playing a game of pool, music or to get even closer to nature. If you haven’t yet stayed here, you must do so at least once in your lifetime. We always leave feeling incredibly relaxed and wanting to schedule our next stay.

If I could give 4.5 stars I would. My husband and I just returned from staying here and we loved it.
The couple who runs it are wonderful, friendly, and interesting. She spends a lot of time thinking about the breakfasts she serves and you will not be disappointed. They were delicious, unique, and very tasty.
The room was cozy and romantic. They add a lot of little extras, like makeup remover at the sink, wonderful lavender bubble bath, chocolates, homemade cookies daily, and a bottle of wine upon arrival. We stayed in room 2, which has beautiful views.
The only reason for my 4.5 stars is that we could hear the couple in room 1 talking until 2 a.m. I don’t know if that is usual, or if the guy just had a really loud voice. Other than that it was perfect. We will return for sure!

Beautiful quaint Bed and Breakfast in an excellent location — the heart of wine country! The hosts (Roland and Carolyn) are extremely gracious and kind, more than willing to accommodate any need or travel request you have. The rooms are clean, well-​organized and stocked with all the basic necessities, but in very close proximity to each other (this means that even though you will have your own entrance/​exit, you are wall-​to-​wall with someone else — just a heads up). Truly, the hosts make this place one of the better B&B’s that we have visited in Paso, I can’t say enough about their graciousness and wonderful hospitality. I would give this place a five star rating if it weren’t for the breakfast «situation.» Carolyn is a WONDERFUL cook — her food is truly superb. However, the breakfast is set up «family reunion» style, where everyone dines at a certain time (promptly), around the same table together. You receive one plate (one portion) each, and have to socialize with the other couples throughout the meal. Can be awkward if you are not a morning person, and/​or are stuck with uncomfortable couples. However, if you are an energetic, outgoing morning person and love to meet new people on your vacation — this is the perfect spot for you :)

Year #2 in-​a-​row for our birthdays at Chanticleer and Year #2 in-​a-​row that Carolyn and Roland have outdone themselves. If you’ve wanted to try a B&B and want to visit Paso, you would be doing yourselves an injustice not staying at AT LEAST 1 night. We look forward to Year #3, #4, #5 … !

I usually don’t write reviews on my first visit to a place, but I’m making an exception for Chanticleer. WOW! We just stayed there for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and loved our stay. We’d never stayed at a B&B before, so we weren’t sure how or if we’d like it. You know, not everyone are B&B people. I’m so glad we took the chance and tried it, cos the Chanticleer was a nice treat! Carolyn and Roland are incredibly warm people who made us feel right at home.
We stayed in room 3 for 3 nights and loved it! Room 3 has a side entrance only accessible from the outside, which gave us a bit more privacy. The room was stocked with good bed linens, plush towels, a bottle of wine made from their very own grapes, plus has a huge tub and walk-​in shower with 2 different shower heads. We went to an anniversary dinner our first night and returned to the room to find a silver tray with chilled champagne, a home-​baked mini cake and rose petals — so special!
Breakfasts were an enjoyable way to start the day with a delish breakfast from Carolyn and great stories from Roland. You can tell how much they love sharing their piece of heaven with others and that made the experience so nice for us. The property is so peaceful, it really takes you away and relaxes you. It’s located in a great spot right off Hwy 101 and Hwy 46 West, making it close enough to get around, but far away enough to hear NOTHING. :) We loved meeting Carolyn, Roland and the rest of the family (Bonnie, Bear and Toby) and hope to return again soon!

This is a wonderful B&B on a vineyard. It has three rooms, a nice living room/​public area, and a great location. The proprietors were warm, friendly, and helpful. We stayed in #2 for two nights. The room was a nice sized with a cute stove/​fireplace, walk-​in shower, large tub, private bathroom, microwave, mini fridge, homemade cookies, and a bottle of nice local wine.
Breakfast was surprising upscale with a lot of thought and care put into the dishes: poach pears with walnut cream, crustless quiche, fantastic bread pudding with lemon curd, country bacon.
We left SF looking for a hidden wine country experience, different from Sonoma and Napa where I grew up, and found a romantic, homey, and young-​folk-​friendly getaway.

My wife surprised me with this getaway after spending time in Paso for thanksgiving. She was able to get one night (usually a two night minimum) because the rooms weren’t booked and she is persisitent :).
There is NOTHING bad i can say about this place. We were driving in looking for the place and were hungry for snacks, the owners said come on in and she’ll have something for us. On arrival the fireplace was lit, the almond champagne was waiting and the crackers were waiting with core apple at it side … i knew then this is the right place.
We are in room 1 and the views are amazing, the space is comfortable the bathroom is perfect for men and women alike and this place just makes me want to redo my own home.
haven’t had the food yet as i’m relaxing by the fire just to tell humanity this place is a hidden treasure.

The Chanticleer is our favourite place to go for a romantic getaway. Carolyn and Roland go out of their way to make you feel welcome without being obtrusive. They have a knack for knowing what each guest wants and needs. We love this place and try to get there as often as our schedule permits. We recommend it for couples who enjoy a quiet weekend alone or who like to experience impromptu get togethers. And, of course, the food is amazing!

Chanticleer came recommended by friends of the bf, so on our trip this past week we reserved a room at this B&B. Tucked away among vineyards and hills, a short drive off 46 and you will find Chanticleer. A conveniently located 3 room B&B with big rooms and luxurious bathrooms.
We stayed in room 3 on a midweek special starting on a Sunday. The owners greeted us and guided us to our rooms. (We came with friends). The bf surprised me with a reflexology treatment upon check in. The spa services come directly to your room. The room itself was awesome. A large walk in shower (the entire room 3 is handicap accessible), huge tub, vanity, king size bed, sitting area, kitchenette, ipod dock, free wifi, and lots of little things to keep you busy in the room like backgammon, playing cards, etc… the major missing component some people might have issue with would be no tv. I was skeptical at first not having a tv, but it was great to spend time with the bf without a tv to drone on in the background.
The bed was ultra comfy and the towels were soft. The room was stocked with good shampoo, conditioner, bath salts, and a small cabinet for potential hygienic products you might need.
I found the hens and roosters that walked around the grounds during the day to be charming and fun to watch. During our stay I saw 2 small deer run by on the hill down by our room, a froggie on our veranda, butterflies, beautiful birds, squirrels, and lots of other little animals. It was nice to get away from the city and be among the vineyards and nature.
A major plus is Chanticleer will take account for any food allergies or food restrictions, just let them know ahead of time.
Breakfast:
Day 1 — a french toast with apple casserole looking dish (super good) with fresh ham and a fig with fruit jam on it.
Day 2 — crustless quiche (delicious), fresh fruit with cinnamon
Day 3 — blueberry pancakes, eggs and ham
I really enjoyed our stay at Chanticleer and found the owners to be very personable and down to earth.
