Great property for our scientific gathering. Kitchen was very well appointed for our together cooking, and dining room with piano was great for eating and musical performances late into the evening.

Worked well for large family get together

The Pickford House was great for our large family get together. There were enough rooms for everyone and plenty of space to spread out. The large bar/family room was fantastic. We loved the 4 large tables on wheels that could be configured however we needed. The large kitchen and coffee maker worked great. We loved having a private bathroom for each room but, unfortunately, the plumbing was problematic - very low water pressure and it took several minutes to get warm water. And none of the bathtub/showers worked for our elderly parents. They were small and extremely difficult to get in and out of. The heaters in a few of the rooms did not work. The downstairs heater cycled on and off all night making a lot of noise.

Unique and wonderfull

We organize large groups trips with friends and families a lot. This was definitely a unique and different experience in a good way. The house is great. I was worried it'd have a funky old smell, since it's very historical, but IT DIDN'T. It's kept very clean and fresh. The requirement of no noise outside didn't bother us, as we didn't do much outside; but we did get a noise complaint when a couple of guests gut too emotional during a political argument, when having a smock on the parking lot (we're Ukrainians, emotions fly high right now). But it's on us, we understand that it''s tough on the neighbors. So, know your group - will it work for you? One thing I need to mention, is that, while understandably, not all guest-rooms are equal, 8 of them were comparable, but one (Charlie Chaplin) was obviously a maid's room in past life, located downstairs by the kitchen. Plan carefully who you put in there :)

Great place for groups

We stayed at the Pickford House for my husband's 60th birthday. The house was perfect for 20 guests. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Lots of room to spread out. The bar was great for entertaining. Great location with a short walk to downtown Cambria. Kitchen was spacious and well-appointed. I recommend adding a second dishwasher and another oven rack (it only has 1) to accommodate large groups. But otherwise everything was great!

Cambria Christmas

Our family really enjoyed our time at Pickford House. We had 12 family members and 6 dogs there during a rainy week, so we stayed inside most of the time. The land opposite was perfect for a quick potty break, and the walk around the neighborhood was just right for our pups. We LOVED being able to team up to cook in the big kitchen, and cleanup was easy with everyone fitting in the kitchen and dining area. The adjacent room was perfect for opening Christmas presents, and the main dining space was the place to gather for crafts, meals, and lots of hilarious games! It was warm and cozy, and the bar was perfect for our beverages and cookies! The cash register was a hoot! We all tested negative on the Binax quick test when we arrived, and it was such a joy to finally be together again after 2 years. I highly recommend this stay for families.
