An aesthetic delight high above Cambria steeped in nature but close to town.
This property is a perfect blend of rural, coastal and tranquility. Sitting on a commanding promontory 800 feet above the valleys that surround it, this two bedroom ranch home has epic views in every direction. The folds of the commanding Santa Lucia Mountains back Cinnabar Ranch and the Pacific Ocean sets the western panorama with 40 miles of wild coastline on view.
Located on 80 private acres, there is both room to roam and space to gain from the rest of the world. You could have a perfectly lovely stay without ever leaving the property, but if the allure of the town (Cambria), the coast or Hearst Castle call to you, everything is just a brief drive away. You'll want to be back here for at least one sunset as the location is set up to provide quite a show. At the ranch the night sky is typically deep black and spectacularly full of stars. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and reminisce about the day.
A nature walk from the house can be a fine activity. See cows grazing down in the valley, critters roaming the grounds, or hawks and vultures circling overhead. Board game inside or yard game outside? How about a hammock and a good book? For more modern engagements, there is high speed internet and TV. Within a very short drive you can enjoy local wine tasting, horseback riding and so much more. The quaint town of Cambria has a variety of restaurants, unique shops and art galleries. And, of course, the famous Moonstone Beach is yours to explore.

The house was very comfortable, and the views were absolutely magnificent. The property is very private and secluded and perfect for anyone who wants a quiet getaway.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views all around were spectacular, the house was clean and has all of the amenities you need and is spacious. It was perfect for two couples. We had a question for the host while we were there and they responded very quickly.
The property was absolutely stunning and all rooms were well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views were exceptional and we will definitely be returning again and again. The hosts were easy to contact and responsive.
This was a wonderful home with an amazing view. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable and climate control worked well. We will be back. The road up is a bit tricky but in fair weather it was fine.
Spectacular views, immaculate house, and all the details were exactly as described for entry/exit, amenities, etc. These folks pay attention to the little things that make a stay an experience.
Wonderful property with beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding hills. Plenty of room for four people. We prepared a nice Thanksgiving dinnerwith a well stocked kitchen.
A beautiful, private property high above Cambria overlooking the Pacific ocean. Blew our expectations out of the water! Breathtaking views out of every window in all directions. We feel fortunate we got to experience it and couldn't imagine a better place to stay on the central coast. The home had all we needed and is Fido friendly as well. Jessie the owner provided excellent, detailed directions and was very responsive to our questions including extending our stay an extra night it was so great - we decided taking in the views another day would be time better spent than driving up highway 1 and stopping somewhere between Cinnabar Ranch and the bay area - many thanks for a superb stay! We want to come back
We love staying in this beautiful home. The views are spectacular and well worth the money. We would highly recommend it and, would stay again next time we are in town.
Wonderful location, beautiful views of rolling hills, and peaks of the ocean through the lingering clouds. House is well maintained and has everything you need. This is a pet friendly home so our English Lab enjoyed himself, too. It was a lovely, relaxing weekend! Close to Cambria town, ocean and beaches and also made a day trip to Paso Robles.
This property was amazing, so serene and tranquil. Just a few minutes from the beach. Would love to stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Bram & Jessie
Hi there, my name is Jessie and I’m a full time working Mom to my son Barrett and our rescue pups, Dexter & Brutus, our 2 goats Finn & Buckley along with their protector, Odin. I moved to the beautiful Central Coast 20 years ago after visiting family every year since I was a child. My husband, Bram, was born and raised in Cambria and has grown up in the hospitality business. We own and operate several local hotels and have an extensive background in hospitality and customer service. You can rest assured that when you stay with us you are staying with some of the best professionals in the industry.
Why they chose this property
We live on a ranch adjacent to the Cinnabar Ranch Retreat and absolutely love this unique property. Cambria is our home and where we see ourselves continuing to grow our family. We are delighted that we get to share it with our guests through our hotels and now our vacation rental. While Cinnabar offers plenty of privacy we are close by should you require anything at all during your stay. This property is beautifully appointed with all of the essentials you need to make your stay one of a kind.
What makes this property unique
The views of this property are truly amazing and home to some of the best sunsets you will ever see. There is a reason why Hearst Castle is nestled in these same mountains with the same ocean views from the tip of Montana de Oro to the light house at Piedras Blancas. We would love to welcome you to Cinnabar Ranch Retreat so that you may experience it's peaceful beauty for yourself.
