Bike Lane Inn

My husband and I spent an extended weekend (Wed-Sun) at the Bike Lane Inn recently while in town for a wedding. Car trouble on the drive up delayed us, and the owners were very accommodating to make sure we could access our room during a very late arrival (1am). I also borrowed one of their bikes for a short bike ride one morning which passed by at least 10 wineries - they are in the heart of wine country. The breakfasts were all delicious and we were always stuffed at the end. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and comfortable (fluffy towels!), and Elaine and Scott were always ready to give recommendations on restaurants, breweries, wineries, and local info. We really enjoyed our stay there, and the price was the best in the area! Will definitely revisit the Bike Lane Inn if we are back in the area.

My husband and I had an excellent stay with Scott and Elaine last week. It is so much cozier than a hotel! We enjoyed wine on the patio with beautiful views in the evening. The couple makes a delicious breakfast in the morning with fresh fruit, pancakes, bacon etc.! They know lots of great local areas for outdoor activities, food, beer and wine (we aren't bikers so they pointed out some great hiking places along the coast).  I would definitely stay here again when traveling up north. 

The Bike Lane Inn was amazing!  The Inn is located near plenty and many more wineries, and hot breakfast is served every morning.  The hosts, Scott and Elaine, are more than hospitable.  The rooms are comfortable and beautiful.  The Inn is located in a remote neighborhood and is private, which made for a very relaxing and quiet getaway.  It is also a short walk to downtown’s Main St. where there are great restaurants, and is a short drive to downtown Paso Robles.  We would highly recommend staying at the Bike Lane Inn.  Not to the mention, the view from the patio was breathtaking!

Great place to stay, excellent food, convenient location, economical and very friendly, helpful hosts.

This inn is a little out of the way in a residential area but the innkeepers make you feel very welcome, the rooms are excellent, and the breakfast is awesome. We hope to come back some time and with the very reasonable rates we can return for an extended stay. This is a find of unbelievable value in high-priced Paso Robles.

If you are looking for a great value and a laid back atmosphere you must stay at the Bike Lane Inn. We had a wonderful three night stay at the Bike Lake Inn. Scott and Elaine were such gracious hosts. They shared a nice bottle of wine with us when we arrived which we appreciated. They gave us many suggestions of different wineries and places to eat. We fell in love with McPhee's Grill in downtown Templeton per their suggestion. We had the Queen room which was a nice size and a lovely bathroom. The bed was so comfortable. We were able to control the heat in our room which was great because it had become quite cold while we were there the three days. Breakfast was a "veritable feast" every morning which pretty much saved us from having lunch on those days. They had a nice selection of board games and they introduced us to this special Sudoku game played with colors called COLORKU. It was really fun! When we head back to this area, there will be no other place for us to stay but here. Sheila and Joe Saccomanno Palatine, IL

We arrived, exhausted, after a long drive in the dark on a cold January evening and were looking forward to bed. However, we were welcomed by Scott and Elaine with warm cookies and brownies and ended up having a pleasant time chatting with them. Our room was perfect in every way. After breakfast we were given a map and showed where we might enjoy taking a walk around the town. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to friends. Sheldon & Priscilla Jones, Wolfeboro, NH

We had a wonderful stay at the Bike Lane Inn. The rooms and service exceed our expectations. The meals were outstanding. We would highly recommend the Bike Lane Inn!

Very comfortable and quiet. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. We felt that we had the place to ourselves, even though others were staying and joined us for breakfast, our area was very private. Scott and Elaine were excellent hosts and very helpful with anything we needed. Hope to go back for another visit soon.

If you want hospitality, not hotel service, that is your place.

We stayed a Friday night at the Bike Lane Inn and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service was great and friendly and the accommodations were lovely. Perfect for a night or two if you are in the area or just driving through. We will definitely stay here again.

My wife and I had a great stay. Gracious hosts, and a terrific breakfast. Thanks!

From the kind hosts, to the hot abundant showers, to the amazing breakfasts, we loved our stay! The hosts are very knowledgable of the area and had great recommendations! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Scott & Elaine have set the bar high! Ths was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast, it was perfect. Peaceful surroundings, great view from the dining area and sensational breakfasts. We stayed in the queen room (it has the attached bathroom), room was cozy, clean and nicey decorated. The frame that has Scott & Elaine wedding invitation was the cutest thing ever. Will definitely stay again.

Scott, Elaine, and kitty Peggy Sue happily welcomed us into their modern and comforting abode near the top of a hill in Templeton, which is a short drive from Paso Robles. I can't say a bad thing about this place, they served us complimentary wine and snacks, delicious breakfasts (no joke, I felt like I was at a nice classy breakfast spot), great trip advice, and they put forth an overall friendly demeanor that made our trip most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable stay in the central coast. Oh and did I mention that deer came to visit the garden one morning right outside their windows? How cool is that?

The proprietors are extremely welcoming and friendly, and breakfast was delicious! Our room was clean and comfortable, no complaints. The inn is located right off the 101 in a nice neighborhood with a pretty view. Very convenient to Paso Robles. I'd definitely stay here again!

We had an awesome stay at the bike lane inn with elaine. It. Was very clean and a very pleasant experience. It was my girlfriends first time at a bnb. She was nervous beforehand but ended up loving it! Thank you elaine!

On an unusually chilly December weekend we returned to our rooms to find the beds warm and waiting. That was only one of the kindnesses extended to us by the hosts of Bike Lane Inn in Templeton. The winery suggestions were excellent, too. Maybe we'll return to borrow their bikes and do the 10 Mile Loop. Definitely an inn I would want to revisit.

We stayed one night in the Queen room and were very pleased with the Bike Lane Inn. Scott and Elaine set up the room nicely, had the electric blankets on for our arrival and prepared a wonderful breakfast for us in the morning. We couldn't ask for better hospitality during our stay!

Had a phenomenal one night stay in the queen room, we were contacted by Elaine who gave us detailed directions to the property-very helpful. The house, the room and the cookies during the evening and breakfast in the morning were top notch. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom was spacious and clean. The next time we are in Paso we look forward to staying at bike lane again

Scott and Elaine were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely keep the Bike Lane Inn on our list for future travels.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bike Lane Inn. The room (queen room) is very comfortable, clean, and the décor is lovely. Elaine & Scott are friendly, helpful and serve a delicious breakfast. The area is fantastic for cycling and they have a number of great bike rides on easy to follow route sheets. The area is mostly rural so low traffic, lots of wineries, horse properties, and ranches make Templeton a wonderful place to cycle.

Elaine and Scott are great hosts, and entertained us with wine and cheese and bike tales. We would look forward to visiting again.

Elaine and Scott were friendly, helpful and kind when my friends and I stayed. We were well fed and provided with information about places to go, kitchen renovations, and more. Their place is in the town but feels like it's in the country, partly because of the view. Definitely a good place to stay in the area.

We will definitely return to the Bike Lane Inn. It was very confortable, and a good value. The owners were welcoming and gave us good resources and tips about the area. We hope to return soon!

If you are looking for a place to stay while you bike the Paso Robles Wine Country this is the place. Scott and Elaine are experienced cyclists and know the roads and best bike routes in the area. The breakfast are wonderful too!

Scott and Elaine's B&B was a delight! We booked the patio room, which ensured us a private entrance and bathroom. The room was standard-sized, but quaint and clean. The hosts were friendly and welcoming towards us, and made us a filling, hearty breakfast during our stay. If we come back to Paso Robles soon, this B&B will definitely be considered!!

My fiance and I recently stayed in the Patio Room at the Bike Lane Inn for the weekend. The home, and rooms are cute, cozy, clean and very comfortable! The owners, Elaine and Scott were very friendly and accomodating. They helped us find our way around the area, suggested activities, and even recommended a mechanic for my car, as my check engine light came on during the drive up. The breakfasts were AMAZING! I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone staying in the area. I know we will be back soon!

Great people, great views, great food and wonderful cycling. Winery stops, olive oil tasting, Firestone Brewery... lots to do!

We enjoyed our stay at the Bike Lane Inn. Scott and Elaine are great hosts and the food was excellent!

Scott and Elaine are extremely nice and the queen bedroom is just adorable. It come with a great bathroom with a huge shower! We got fresh home made bread for breakfast!

My husband and I opted for the patio room, which gave us private access to our room directly from the patio sliding doors rather than through the house entrance. A vey comfortable room with all necessities provided. Scott and Elaine are wonderful hosts, and the breakfast was superb! We plan to book there again when next in the area.

This is a comfortable, spacious place to stay, with friendly hosts who have made their home available to road travelers. We needed a place midway between Sacramento and LA, and wanted to taste wines in the Paso area - this filled the bill nicely, and included a full and tasty breakfast to boot. I appreciated the nice bathroom, and use of the refrigerator. Next time, we'll bring our bikes and enjoy the nearby winding roads. Thanks a bunch, Scott and Elaine!

Our hosts were accommodating and helpful, breakfast was hearty and tasty, our rooms were well furnished and comfortable. My husband and I can't wait to stay here again. I've already recommended this place to friends and family.

This was our first time actually staying overnight in the Paso Robles area. We could not have found a better place. The hosts are very informal, which suits us just fine. I wish we had had a couple of days; biking in the area looks like fun. But this was not the week for it. Daytime temps in the 100s....

We were hoping to stay in Paso Robles but because of a weekend event, most hotels were sold out. While searching for alternatives I ran across the Bike Lane Inn in Templeton, and it sounded attractive and seemed reasonably priced. I initially made a reservation for the Patio Room, but we upgraded to the Queen Room (private bath). We were not disappointed! There is a wonderful common area patio with a view eastward where we relaxed and got acquainted with the unofficial greeter, Peggy Sue (the owners' cat) until our hosts arrived. Elaine plied us with yummy appetizers while we drank our beers from the local Trader Joe's. It is quiet, the bed is comfortable, and we slept well. Breakfast was pancakes with blueberries, sausage, and fresh fruit. Orange juice and coffee finished us off. We liked it so much, we made a reservation for our return trip. This time we stayed in the Patio room which has a shared bath with another room - not a problem! They provide robes and the other room was empty. That evening there was almost a full moon and an owl calling out nearby. It was completely restful and our hosts very amenable and easy-going. Breakfast was a fresh fruit compote with yogurt flavored with amaretto, french toast, ham, orange juice, and coffee. YUM! We will return when we can.

This home stay experience, complete with a wonderful big breakfast, was lovely- peaceful, and quiet. Templeton is a small town and this is conveniently located close to the freeway on a residential street, but it feels miles away. A great place for exploring the wine country or having a romantic weekend. The owners are eager to assist with maps, suggestions, or friendly conversation. The price is very reasonable for this location and amenities including free computer use, TV, and a patio. I really appreciated the glass of wine upon arrival after a day's travel.

Warm and inviting hosts, delicious breakfast, and fantastic rooms.

We were a little nervous that we were too far away from Paso when we were driving through the quaint town of Templeton, but as soon as we stepped inside the Inn and met Elaine, we knew we had struck gold! This place was so warm and inviting, breakfast was incredible (spinach frittata with grilled mango and pineapple on the first day, and amazing whole wheat pancakes with fresh peaches, blueberries and walnuts inside on our second) -- great location near all of the wineries and minutes to downtown Paso! So much fun and definitely the highlight of our trip! We'll be back!!!!!

Scott and Elaine were great. The house is fun and the views are amazing. The bed was so comfortable. The towels were so soft and the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were the best. We will be back. Thank you for the hospitality and great breakfast.

Scott and Elaine were the perfect hosts, and the Bike Lane Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was delicious, nutritious and plentiful. We had a large, comfortable, quiet room with a private bath and beautiful patio just outside the glass doors. We can't wait to go back.

Scott and Elaine were wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and comfortable and Elaine served a great breakfast on their patio. They were knowledgeable about the area and had excellent winery suggesstions. We would definately stay there again.

Scott and Elaine helped us enjoy our Paso robles stay in so many ways. They have detailed enlarged wine maps of the Paso Robles area. They also have numerous cycling maps. The location is up a small hill. They have 3 rooms in the main house that has been totally redone by the couple. The room we stayed in was way nicer than any hotel room especially at the rate they charge. The king sized bed has a great mattress. The bathroom has a huge shower and there is a double sink great for 2 getting ready. The area is an older area of Templeton, adjacent to Paso Robles. Their house is kept spotless and clean. The breakfast is made by Elaine who generally makes more than enough to fuel your day. I would call the breakfast fresh and special, Maybe not gourmet, but plentiful, freshly made and good. They are really nice! They lent us bikes and showed us routes that were beautiful.

Very nice room with outside access and 3 steps to the bathroom; excellent breakfast served on patio. The McElmury's were very knowledgeable about the wine areas and a good source of information about places to go to. Very highly recommeneded.

We stayed at the Bike Lane Inn for two nights whilst visiting the area for wine tasting. It's a really beautiful place with a fantastic outdoor area that you are free to use to relax in. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and they cook a delicious fresh breakfast each morning. The B&B is also close to town where there are some great restaurants and also a weekly farmers' market. Wish we'd stayed a week!

Rooms are basic, clean, and comfortable. No luxury ammenities, felt like we were staying at the home of friends. Hospitality was excellent, the hosts shared everything.

Everything about our stay was easy, from booking online and a quick reply, to finding the Inn close to Highway 101, to planning our one day in the area to get the best experience possible. The hosts, Scott and Elaine, were friendly and hospitable but gave the guests space when needed as well. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. They loaned us their bicycles to tour the area and were full of information about things we might enjoy doing. We had a great time and will hopefully be back!

Elaine and her husband were very friendly and social. The house was clean. Breakfast was delicious and accommodating. Gay Friendly!

Comfortable, relaxing and delicious breakfasts. Scott and Elaine's hospitality made our stay a memorable part of our vacation. A great place for any one visiting the area-a must for cyclists.

Friendly hosts with a centralized location near wineries and has a great view. The hosts offered bicycles to use. The room was nice and clean, but it hadn't been dusted in a while. We requested a special gluten-free diet, which was acknowledged at the time of registration, but not provided. The food was good otherwise.

We popped into the Bike Lane Inn on the last day of Paso Wine Fest on our way back from Carmel. Now we are thinking of staying there every time we are in the area! Charming, comfortable, and clean rooms and the owners are lovely. Perfect location to the wineries too. You should stay here! :)

They were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was wonderful.

We really had a great time staying at the Bike Lane. Scott and Elaine were very helpful and welcoming. They also gave great advice on the local bike rides, wineries, and restaurants. The Bike Lane is quaint with great views. I'd stay there again for sure!!

My wife and I celebrated our twenty third wedding anniversary with a short mid week getaway at The Bike Lane Inn. We are so glad we stumbled across their webpage as the visit was better than expected. Elaine and Scott were very informative and very gracious hosts. Elaine made wonderful breakfasts evry morning we were there. We hope to return in the future.

Scott and Elaine were great hosts. Excellent food, wine and conversation. Very informative on all the activities available in the area. My wife and I highly recommend the Bike Lane Inn!

Bike Lane Inn is a real gem: it's beautiful place in very pretty surroundings with very nice accommodations and a delicious and filling breakfast and, above all, amazing hosts. This is a particularly great find for people planning to do biking in the area. The hosts, Scott and Elaine, offered us bikes and very helpful route maps (that they'd made). If we go back to the area, we'll definitely try to stay at the Bike Lane Inn.

Thanks so much Scott and Elaine for opening your wonderful inn to us! We had a terrific time. You were so helpful and made out stay so comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, in fact, my sister was just saying that she meant to ask you for that Fennel breakfast recipe. Bike Lane Inn is a place I will definitely revisit!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend at Bike Lane Inn. First off, Scott and Elaine are the most gracious hosts! They are full of warmth, information about the area and are great to converse with. Elaine also makes an amazing breakfast. We biked from the Inn on a route that Elaine suggested which lead us to several great wineries and along a beautiful country road. They are quite the bike enthusiasts and are the right people to ask for info about biking in the area or to share bike travel stories with. Neither of us can wait to go back! Thanks Scott and Elaine!

My husband and I had a fabulous time at Bike Lane Inn. Scott and Elaine are two wonderful people and very friendly. The inn was very clean, very quiet, and just perfect for our weekend getaway. The breakfast in the morning hit the spot, lots of yummy food before we started our wine tasting tour. Loved it!

We had a lovely stay at Bike Lane Inn (homestay style). We stayed in the queen room which had it's own attached bath. While the rooms are within the one story home, the queen room still felt private and comfortable. The furnishings were updated. Elaine and Scott were wonderful hosts. They greeted us with a glass of wine and baked goods. And the warm breakfast was perfect.

Fantastic bed and breakfast! Scott and Elaine are wonderful hosts, and well-cultured, interesting people. Thank you :)

My husband wanted a getaway but we didn't want to travel far. In looking at the central coast area for distance we chose Templeton. The wineries are nice and the roads quiet and uncrouded as they roll over small hills and valleys of lovely vineyards. The Bike Lane Inn was, like the ad says walking distance from the little town square. We very much enjoied our stay even though we didn't do any of the things we could have like ride bikes around the local wineries or go wine tasting. We don't drink.... The goat and olive farms sounded intrigueing but we just kind of got into a lull. We did enjoy a short drive to San Luis Obispo and a movie in Paso Robles. And the Montana de Oro State Park was fun whatching the surfers from a high cliff. This is a great place for wine drinking bike riders. Or lazy weekend get- awayers like us. We found the innkeepers interesting, relaxed, hospitable, informative and fine cooks! The inn is a little tricky to find but once you're there you are there. Satisfied weekender from Garden Grove CA

Scott & Elaine were incredibly accomodating. From the road, our frst impression was not very good but, upon driving further into the driveway, we saw a really nice B & B in the back. Our room could have been cleaned a little better (Very dusty cabinets and DVD Box) but overall it was quite clean. Elaine & Scott were terrific hosts. Yes, we would definitely go back there.

I enjoyed our stay at the Bike Lane Inn. The couple that run the B&B was very nice and helpful. Elaine made a great breakfast that rivals any little bistro. I enjoyed sitting down at breakfast and sharing the table with the other couple staying down the hall and the owners. If you are looking for an impersonal stay, with a sterile business only type environment then this place is not for you. We had a very lovely time in Templeton, and we would defiantly recommend Bike Lane Inn if you like a more out of the way and friendly environment.

Great place to stay and really captures the area. Templeton is such a laid back town and this place fits right in. Great value and the breakfast was amazing and huge! We will be back!

Elaine and Scott receive you like friends they have known a long time. They make you feel at home, make you feel special and are so helpful in helping you explore the beauty and the experiences of this region. Their home is quaint and comfortable and they greet you in the morning with a wonderful complete breakfast to get your adventurous day started. If you are cyclists then you will be in heaven with them as they have explored this whole region on bicycles and can direct you to the best rides. We have stayed with them before and we will definitely stay with them again. It's nice to see our old friends in Templeton- at least that is the way we feel about them.

We had such a wonderful two night stay and enjoyed everything about our visit. We were treated exceptionally well by the owners, Scott and Elaine who were some of the nicest people we've met. They helped us out by lending us their bikes, giving advice, and just being hospitable. Would definitely recommend this B&B to all our friends and those interested in seeing the beautiful wine country of Paso Robles! Wish the weekend was just a little bit longer...

One of the best experiences we have had in a B&B. Queen room is great with plenty of room and its own bath. Breakfast is best I have had in many years. Will always stay here on mid-coast visits from now on.

The hosts were very friendly, the location has a beautiful view, and breakfast was fantastic. Thanks!

We loved our room which was very comfortable and so nicely decorated. Our hosts were very warm and down to earth. It was like staying with the best of family. We will definitely go back.

The Bike Lane Inn was such a great place for our stay in the Paso Robles wine country. Scott and Elaine were very pleasant to talk to, they were kind, and they were very knowledgeable about the area. They provided us with bikes so we could go on our own biking wine tour and when it got dark, they even came and picked us up. Everything was very clean, nicely decorated (didn't feel like we were staying at a great grandmother's house, very modern), and the breakfasts were incredible! We expect to return very soon to the Bike Lane Inn for another wine country getaway.

I chose to have breakfast with my family instead of at the Inn so this is not rated. My hostess refunded me $10 ($5 each breakfast) since I did not take advantage of the meal offered.

My wife and I stayed at the Bike Lane Inn while visiting our family in Templeton. Our recent trip to Oregon lasted 17 days with 16 nights in either Hotels or Motels. Elaine and Scott treated us like royalty. They far exceeded our wildest expectations and were easily the best experience we had on the trip.

Stayed at Bike Lane Inn when we were going to a wedding up in Paso Robles. Scott and Elaine were wonderful, inviting and the house was comfortable and so was the room! Had a great time and will definitely stay there again in the future.

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night when in the Paso Robles area. It was very, very close to a ton of great vineyards in the area. We really just used it as a crash pad and didn't spend a lot of time there, arriving late and leaving early the next morning. It had a community area for guests, the bed was really nice in our room. We had a bathroom in our room which was great. Elaine and Scott were super nice and friendly.

WOW! Here you are on a hill overlooking a pleasant sort of 20's western town, removed from fast-food joints, noise & traffic...just you, the tranquility of Scott & Elaine's house, and you're treated as family...we enjoyed wine on the terrace with our Los Angeles friends, a saunter into town for a terrific dinner, and sleeping with the windows open! Breakfast was served at 8:30 (our request) and what a memorable feast it was ~ in fact we haven't eaten since. Everything's here, no need to pack a bunch of stuff, the shampoo's in the shower & the books, magazines & games are all yours...truly a 3 star experience...

At first we weren't sure about the neighborhood, but don't let that fool you. We were so pleased with our time there. Great food, great people. Good access to wineries, the freeway, Paso Robles/Cambria, downtown Templeton. The home has been refurbished, completely updated, clean and we were very comfortable with everything! We would come back.

Elaine and Scott are fantastic hosts - making one feel "at home" immediately. Veryhelpful at providing information on the area and assisting in any way they can. We will return!

We just spent one night at the Bike Lane Inn and it certainly exceeded our expectations. Besides being clean and comfortable, the Innkeepers are just genuinely nice people. We got to talking all things cycling and stuff about San Diego. We know we will be going back...so here we are writing a great review so everyone else out there discovers this little gem. Oh well, I have told all my friends who were interested to know how our adventure to Templeton went. Seriously, this is a great place!

We were new to the idea of staying at a bed & breakfast, but thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bike Lane Inn! Scott & Elaine made us feel so welcome from the moment we met them! The breakfast is fresh & just as described in the description on their site. Highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at the Bike Lane Inn! The owners, Scott & Elaine, were very friendly & made our stay very comfortable. My husband & I were celebrating our 19th anniversary & we were so relaxed the entire weekend at their bed & breakfast. The breakfast was so fresh & yummy! We also enjoyed the patio with the great views & sunset. We highly recommend staying here. We're already planning on a return visit! Can't wait!

We had a fantastic stay at the Bike Lane Inn. We only wish we could have had more time to enjoy the Bike Lane Inn and take Scott and Elaine up on an opportunity to tour wine country on bikes! The rooms were great, plenty of privacy, and the bed was really comfortable. We were originally hoping to stay right in San Luis Obispo, but it was really nice getting to stay out in the country a bit further and take in the views and surroundings. We look forward to staying here again and highly recommend the Bike Lane Inn to anyone making a getaway to Wine Country, San Luis Obispo, or any of the surrounding areas!

we went for our aniversary,we stay 2 days. scott and elaine are really nice persons. they make u feel at home, they are really kind. delicious breakfast, they do home made breakfast. not continental freakfast. they believe in cooking. the room was really clean and couzy,has own bathroom. excellent price. better than staying at hotel. we love it. we had winerys so close.

This was a great stopping place for our drive between LA and SF. The twin room is right next the kitchen and was very noisy when I was hoping for rest and quiet. The town and dining were great!

We stayed two nights at The Bike Lane Inn during our trip to Paso Robles. This was also our first stay at a bed and breakfast-we could not have been happier with the experience. Elaine and Scott were wonderful hosts and provided a ton of helpful recommendations and advice on the area. The location was central enough to everything in the area and easy to get to off the 101. The breakfast was AMAZING and substantial to ensure a full tummy before a day full of wine tasting :) We would definitely recommend staying here and will be back.

What a pleasnant place to stay. Very friendly and relaxed hosts. Delightful room, very comfortable bed, tasty breakfast. And they are cyclists too! This was exceptional value and great fun.

A warm welcome in a beautiful setting made this an excellent stop on our California vacation. Our hosts Scott & Elaine were very friendly & helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was fantastic! Leo & Linda, Syracuse NY

The room was quiet and secluded. Breakfast was delicious, perfectly sized, and outside on the veranda overlooking the hills. You can't get much better than this!

Wonderful hosts, great food and a wonderful setting. Lots of good information on bike rides in the area as well. We will return!!

Bike Lane Inn is a perfect home away from home. Scott and Elaine are very easy-going and candid, which sets the tone for a relaxing stay. Somehow, they seem to attract wonderful guests, with whom we have enjoyed sharing time when we return from our daily excursions. (Not too uppity or pretentious...just truly nice people).

My wife and I had a wonderful stay! Our host were friendly. We look forward to future visits.

Great location for wine tasting. Quiet, clean, & superb food. Definitely plan to stay there again.

We spend a long weekend at the Bike Lane Inn this summer, and what a surprise! It was so wonderful, from the owners to the gourmet breakfast. You really do feel like you're staying at a good friends house, and it makes it all the more enjoyable. You really couldn't ask for a better deal, considering the proximity the Bike Lane Inn has to all of the area's major attractions, especially the wineries. We can't wait to come back to the Bike Lane Inn and feel at home, away from home! Thank you to Scott & Elaine!!!!!

This B&B is fantastic value for money and I and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were warm, generous and helpful; they left a note for us as they were out when we arrived, together with cheese and wine to drink on their lovely terrace. They had good suggestions for dining and gave us a lovely breakfast. I'd love to go again and recommend it strongly to anyone.

This place is outstanding indeed. Scott and Elaine are very friendly, the breakfasts are delicious, the house is beautiful, and it's in a gem of a small town. The highlight for me was the bike riding (on the inn's loaner bikes) around the countryside. -Tom M.

This is a great little bed & breakfast. When we arrived we were welcomed with wine, cheese & crackers. Breakfast was fantastic as well as our hosts. Templeton is a great little town, had dinner at a great little restaurant called McPhee's. All in all had a great stay!!!!

We had such a lovely and relaxing time with Scott and Elaine and their wonderful B&B. We were met with warm smiles and delicious, freshly made hors d'ouvres when we arrived and met with warm smiles and an amazing breakfast the next day, too! Their home is located on a beautiful, peaceful hill in a charming town not far from where we live. It made for a wonderful, easy getaway. Had an awesome, most do-able bike ride as a part, too! I highly recommend the Bike Lane Inn for travelers far and near.

Wonderful hosts. They just couldn't do more for you. Superb breakfast. Highly recommended.

This was an unexpected pleasure to stay at the Bike Lane Inn. Scott and Elaine are gracious hosts and create an easy comfortable atmosphere. Stay again? You bet!

Scott and Elaine are avid cyclists, know the area well, and are helpful, flexible and friendly. The B&B is very well equipped, clean, and easy to access. Very close to many wineries and great cycling areas.

Very friendly and helpful owners. A very relaxing and comfortable place to stay. Great location for biking and wine tasting. I would recommend this to a friend.

We enjoyed our stay at Bike Lane Inn! Elaine and Scott were great hosts. They had wine and appetizers waiting for us when we arrived. Breakfast was great too!

What a lovely stay with had at the Bike Lane Inn in late June. Elaine and Scott are fantastic hosts and we so enjoyed chatting with them. Everything was impeccable. Great location and a truly relaxing retreat and getaway.

Great for wineries and an "at home" feel. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Delicious breakfast! We would stay here again.

My wife and I made the mistake of only spending one night at the Bike Lane Inn. It surpassed all of my expectations. I was looking for a B&B in the wine country of Paso Robles that was not too expensive. The price here is right, but the big draw turned out to be the EXCELLENT wine tasting route that we cycled that was plotted out ahead of time by the owners, Elaine and Scott. The countryside is wonderful, and the wineries outstanding. At one place, we sampled 12 wines! If you book this gem of a place, you won't regret it. It's very comfortable for your psyche.

This B&B is the greatest value for your money. It is super affordable, private, has a beautiful view, and tasty meals in the morning. The owners are so accommodating and friendly that they become more like hosts. We have stayed there three times, and plan on returning in the future.

The service and hospitality of the owners is exceptional. The location is central to visiting the Paso Robles and coastal areas. The owners are delighted to help with trip planning and provide lots of useful information and recommendations for seeing the area. The accommodations are very comfortable and quaint. The gourmet breakfasts are delicious. We are already planning our return trip to stay with them again.

Scott & Elaine were fantastic, friendly hosts who welcomed us with a glass of wine & snacks. Our room opened onto the patio and garden with lovely views of the valley. It was such a quiet location but so close to the highway. The breakfasts were also so yummy!

Hosts went above and beyond to help plan our days activities. Food was wonderful as were the accommodations.

Staying at the Bike Lane Inn was truly like being a guest at a friend's home. We stayed in the Patio Room for 2 nights. I liked that you are ensured your own private bath, unless travelling with someone that stays in the neighboring Friendship Room. The bed was VERY comfortable; we were pleased to find chocolates and bottled water, a dual-controlled electric blanket, and bathrobes as added amenities. The bathroom was updated, beautifully decorated and well supplied with everything you could possibly need. Scott and Elaine are so friendly and accommodating, providing us with maps of the area, wine tasting coupons, and restaurant and activity suggestions. Elaine is a great cook and made breakfasts that were absolutely delicious, with fresh, quality ingredients. I suspect that Scott can hold his own in the kitchen, as well! There had a bottle of wine available for us when we returned from our afternoon excursions, though after all the wine tasting we did we chose not to partake. The Bike Lane Inn is well located in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance of "downtown" Templeton, close to Paso Robles and right smack in the middle of wine country. Do be aware of a cat on the premises, for anyone with animal allergies/sensitivities. We look forward to our next visit to the beautiful rolling hills of the area, and to the Bike Lane Inn and our gracious hosts, Elaine and Scott McElmury.

Very clean. Rooms were very adequate, nothing outstanding. You may rent they're whole house, though. About as friendly a people as you'll ever meet in a B&B. Only a few blocks from downtown Templeton. They even invited neighbors and had us for dinner! We will definitely stay there again because the motel prices have skyrocketed!

Sooo comfortable and lovely. Hosts were sooo welcoming, accommodating, interesting, informative, and fantastic. Even provided free coupon for wine tasting at a great winery downtown Templeton. Delicious, creative, and healthy food at the B&B. Great location, near small but funky downtown Templeton, with a view. Best valued B&B we could find for this wine country area, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Will definitely return. Great respite. What more can you ask for?

Just a very clean and friendly establishment with a good breakfast. It was a great value and will return when traveling in the area.

Our experience of the Bike Lane Inn was rewarding well beyond our expectations. Elaine and Scott were so welcoming to the lovely home they built and extremely accommodating to our needs. Before long, it seemed as if we were old friends. The Patio room was bright and comfortable, very clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed all the special touches and delicious breakfasts. We highly recommend this gem of a "B&B" and look forward to a return visit.

Our hosts were so kind to share their inside knowledge of the wine country, restaurants and bike routes. Scott is a bike rider pro and the breakfast Elaine prepared was delicious with homemade blintzes (even the ricotta cheese was homemade). This was perfect 1/2 way stop on our trip from So. Cal to the SF bay area. We have already planned our next visit to coincide with the wild flower bloom.

We loved visiting the Bike Lane Inn. Scott and Elaine were amazing and treated us like great friends. We loved our time there and we definitely would return. Thanks.

This is a very nice location and the hosts will make you feel very welcome. Thanks again Elaine and Scott

Scott and Elaine are great innkeepers. Be sure and have them tell about making their own wine.

"I absolutely loved Elain's welcoming voice while I was making the initial reservation, headed to my Dad's house for a family visit. We were very pleased to find the place so new and so clean. Very homey with the cat in the window and all of the decor. I'm sure that my friend Cee and I are older than Scott and Elaine but they made us feel so taken care of and care free as if we were teenagers staying with our parents. Just too cute and all so much fun! They told us that the front door would be open and they would 'leave the light on for us!' I advised them that we would not be staying for the breakfast portion of this adventure as we were headed back to my Dad's house that morning. They discounted our room for that but surprisingly made us coffee and bagels in the morning and we all sat around the breakfast table getting to know each other. We felt as if we had known them for years! Cee and I brought everything we would need but noticed that the bed and bath had everything there in case we forgot or needed ANY amenity. We were taken care of from head to toe and from start to finish. Scott, Elaine and their 'Bike Lane Inn' really made this girl's road trip adventure the best that it could have been! Thank you so much and we can't wait to return! The best to the two of you! Great memories from, Terri & Cee 11/11/10"

This is our second stay and we love the house and the hosts, Scott and Elaine. You could not ask for better people as hosts. We had a lovely chat with them when we arrived, had dinner at a great little local restaurant, and they book us on a beautiful bike ride through rolling hills on back roads the following morning. There are plenty of fancy B&B's but to stay in someone's home and be treated as friends... well you couldn't ask for anything more. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

The bedrooms, bathrooms, dining room and kitchen were immaculate and well-appointed. I usually get 5 hours sleep a night at home. I got a much needed 9 hours my first night at the B&B. Some bedrooms have private entrances. The hosts were easy-going, flexible and helpful. They had great suggestions for what to do in the area, which for us mostly meant which of the 250 wineries to visit and why. They even provided several discount coupons. The meals were creative, fresh, and well-prepared. Meal options were presented the night before. Requests were well received by our hosts. You can easily walk to town, the Farmer’s Market and good restaurants. The drive to the local wineries was easy and straightforward. Our B&B essentially felt like it was central to everything that we had planned. Would we stay there again? We’re already making plans, and next time we’ll pack our bikes.

Elaine and Scott were great! They were very friendly, hospitable hosts who gave us plenty of tips about the area, shared a wonderful breakfast, and even packed a picnic basket for us! You can't beat this place for the value!! :)

Scott & Elaine, our hosts were very friendly, generous and knowledgeable about the area. We plan on repeat stays with them in the future. It was like staying with good friends.

We were looking for a reasonably priced option in the Paso Robles area on our way South. This BB is great. Elaine and Scott are super nice. Room was great, as was the breakfast. I hope I will return soon and bike some of the routes they suggested !

My friend and I came up to ride the wineries of Paso Robles. We were delighted to find out that Scott and Elaine were cycling enthusiasts as well as really funny, nice people. They were extremely helpful with info about places to eat locally as well as the local history of the area. All in all, a very relaxing weekend made better by the accommodations, food and owners!

Scott and Elaine are wonderful hosts whose "homestay" feels just like it sounds, only better. We needed a place to stay while visiting a very ill friend, and found it in a very peaceful, pleasant setting, with a lovely view of over the charming Main St. of Templeton. The McElmurys were sensitive to our needs, respectful and friendly, served up a dandy breakfast when we wanted it and made us feel at home. An excellent value - we'll definitely return!

We stayed at the Bike Lane Inn during the week of June 14, 2010 and couldn't have made a better choice. We had wanted to go to Templeton to visit the Wild Horse Winery, of which we had been wine club members for many years. We like to search out small, quaint B&B's and this was the first time we stayed in a 'homestay' property. Elaine greeted us and sat down with us to go over the winery map and point out some of her favorites. She also was kind enough to put together a to-go sack with plates and silverware and suggested we stop at Trader Joe's to pick up some sandwiches to take along on our wine tasting. The bedroom was fairly small, but quite comfortable. The attached bathroom was of an adequate size...both were extremely clean. There is a separate sliding door that goes into the bedroom so that you don't have to go through the house. In addition, the adjoining patio is quite comfortable and there is a small refrigerator that included a variety of beverages that Elaine offered us. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. Both Elaine and Scott sat and chatted with us as we ate...they couldn't have been nicer and more hospitable. If you are looking for a larger B&B with specialty amenities, then this isn't the property for you. But, if you like a nice comfy home with gracious hosts, then check out the Bike Lane Inn...you get much for your money. Living in Atlanta, we are not sure when we'll be able to return to CA, but if we are ever in the Templeton area again, we will definitely seek out Bike Lane Inn for another stay.

A definition of hospitality: Kindness in welcoming guests or strangers. Elaine and Scott are the embodiment of this. We had probably the BEST B & B experience at the Bike Lane Inn. Your home is comfortable and open yet private. It convenient to a park, a Saturday Farmers' Market, downtown Templeton, and so many wineries. Your knowledge and maps of the area were tremendously helpful. The breakfasts were delightful and delicious. The homemade cookies and coffee in the evening were a lovely surprise. Scott and Elaine have created a cozy, restful and beautiful retreat in a wonderful area. I know I felt a bit spoiled. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

We stayed at the Bike Lane Inn for a weekend of cycling and wine-tasting. Scott and Elaine mapped out several great bike routes for us that we could do right from the B & B! The room was very clean and comfortable, with a pretty patio view. The kitchen was large and sunny with a gorgeous view of the hills. Scott and Elaine were very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay and would recommend this inn to others, especially cyclists.

I’m so glad I stayed at the Bike Lane Inn (even though I’m not a cyclist)! Their motto says it all. Super convenient - not only is it close to Hwy 101, but I could walk to some great restaurants in Templeton (which is a super-cute western town with real cowboys). Super affordable – lower rates than almost any other lodging in the area (except maybe the Motel 6). And super fun! I shared wine and stories with Scott and Elaine, they recommended some great wineries and sight-seeing (I’m going back to do more as soon as I can) and I could even cocoon in my room - TV, DVD, CD, Wi-fi…The bed was so comfortable, I slept 10 hours one night! The patio has an amazing view and Scott & Elaine were very accommodating but not fussy. Next time I’m coming with a couple of friends (and my boyfriend) and we’re going exploring.

What a great stay we had at your Bike Lane Inn. Our room was bright, warm, and very private. Loved the décor in all the rooms. The breakfasts were great. What fun it was to bike with the two of you and then go off and bike on our own. Your directions were perfect. We saw lots of beautiful scenery (rolling hills, many vineyards), enjoyed our stop at the winery, and got in some good rides. Just wish we had a garage like yours for bike storage and maintenance. Your restaurant recommendations were right on. What a treat to be able to walk to them and enjoy good food at our leisure. And, what a place the park turned out to be Saturday. We loved the Farmer’s Market, and again we could walk there. Best of all was your manner of hosting. You were always there when we needed you, but never invaded our privacy. Templeton is a great place to visit. We look forward to our next visit and will definitely recommend the Bike Lane Inn to our friends.
