A second window seat offers extended views. WiFi ready. Use the large garden deck to enjoy the private peaceful canyon, wildlife, and distant ocean views.

Just Right

So right for my husband and I. Very comfortable place to stay while exploring all that Cambria has to offer, sipping coffee in front of wood burning stove while listening to birds in the beautiful canyon was what the doctor ordered.

Magical cottage!

All the previous reviews are correct: this is a beautiful cottage in Cambria; a wonderful, quiet, romantic retreat. The cottage itself is very comfortable, clean, and includes wonderful little comforts such as spacious window seats, robes, yoga mats, handcrafted lavender-scented toiletries, and a very well equipped kitchen. The setting is breathtaking and we really enjoyed the short hike to the town of Cambria from the cottage. The hosts are very kind and made us feel very welcomed in their beautiful place. We certainly hope to return!

This place was perfect for my fiancee and I
Out of all the places we have rented on vrbo, this is our favorite.
This place was perfectly located to take advantage of the best central coast California has to offer.
Cleanliness is something we are always kinda of worried about, but absolutely no worries here. This place is super clean and it still offers the good sense of coziness, if that makes sense. It seems like the owners really provide the best of the best in everything, even down to the high quality toiletries.
We also really enjoyed the feel and view of the deck the property has. Perfect with a bottle of wine from the local wineries in Paso Robles.
For couples, this is the place.

We want to live here. What more need be said?

We knew this was going to be an extraordinary stay when, walking our suitcases down the lovely garden path to the cottage, we encountered several small deer grazing on the grassy hillside below. This is a magical place. The moss dances in the trees above the cottage, the sunny window seats beg for napping company, and the sound of the distant ocean lulls one to sleep each night.

Thoughtfully appointed, clean as a whistle, with little extras that pamper and delight. Comfy bed, antique furniture, wood burning iron stove/fireplace add a positive to the ambience. VERY private - the owners are respectfully absent, yet on the premises if needed.

A short walk to the Cambria Pines Lodge where one can dine or ramble through its gardens. Speaking of gardens...Lissa and John's garden is a succulent lover's dream. We enjoyed sitting on the lower deck overlooking the canyon, listening to and watching birds, butterflies, squirrels, and, of course, the deer meander through the property.

We thought twice about posting this review as we would like to keep this secret hideaway to ourselves, but we decided to be not so greedy.

Stay here. You will LOVE it.

The place surpassed expectations...

After reading reviews on VRBO, we thought we found fine lodging for our last three days of 2012 and welcoming the new year. The cottage surpassed our expectations with its location (serene private hillside view of meadow, plants, trees, mosses and wildlife) and lovely interior (comfort, excellent taste, amenities). We highly recommend it for your visit to Cambria.
