Cambria Lover's Cottage!
The perfect relaxing getaway!
This early 1900's cottage has been tenderly and tastefully restored creating a private and captivating retreat for you and your loved one. You'll sense the effort to anticipate your requirements for a memorable and replenishing stay, including a bottle of wine and chocolate inviting a toast to 'your' stay.
Entering the upper level from the front deck, you are greeted by the bright, cheery dinette, efficient kitchen, and only bathroom, with it's built in cast iron bathtub. The large west side deck expands upstairs relaxation options. Downstairs enjoy the living room view of the garden, cozy Vermont Castings fireplace, a full compliment of TV viewing options, and comfortable seating. master bedroom, small second twin bed bedroom, and laundry are also downstairs. access to the garden is from living room.
Front and rear decks surrounded by ancient oaks and pine, plus a charming flower garden, enhance the ambiance of this very private cottage.
The crisp ocean air will greet you morning and evening. All your senses will be heightened as you listen to the distant bark of seals and crashing waves. Deer walk through your front yard along with racoons, squirrel, wild turkey, and the ever darling covey of quail. A myriad birds alone provide hours of entertainment.
Enjoy the king size bed, and cozy gas fireplace after a day of exploring.
Walk night or day to the ocean and hunt for wildlife in the tide pools where you can sit and watch the otters, humpback whales, and dolphins (seasonal). Bring your comfy shoes - it is uphill on the way back but it's worth it!
If you must work we have hi speed internet and telephone.
The cable TV offers nearly all the premium channels and we stock the cottage with everything you'll need. If you forget something, the quaint village of Cambria is just a 5 minute drive.
One note for our tall guests. This cottage was built around 1907 and some tall guests (over 6'1) may have to duck through doorways. For the comfort of all our guests there is no smoking in or around the unit.

Centrally located for all the places we wanted to visit in the cute town of Cambria. Hearst Castle, elephant seal beach, lights of sensorio and riding clidsdales. The beach just down the road with private access. Well supplied. Beautiful gardens. Decorated nicely.
Wow, a very lovely and charming cottage. Very close to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve as well as the coast. Cambria was lovely too; perhaps someday on our return visit, we hope to stay again at Cambria Lover’s Cottage. Bill G. Pittsburgh, PA
Beautiful location and gorgeous garden to enjoy. Less than a 5 minute drive from downtown Cambria. Quiet neighborhood. Close to the beach.Truly enjoyed our stay.
Heaven on earth is what we call this cottage, which we’ve been staying in since the mid 2010’s. Just a wonderful place to create memories and unwind. King bed is so comfortable in a cave like master. Perfect for couples. Will visit again and again!
We have stayed many times at this adorable cottage and never tire of its charm, heavenly king bed, quiet, coziness, and fabulous location. We feel like it’s our home away from home!
This was the third time staying at Cambria Lover's Cottage. Everything was just lovely! We appreciate the consistent ease of booking and check-in, cleanliness, amenities, and communication. This cottage is a gem. Thank you again!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you can visit again.
All best,

This was the perfect spot to relax after traveling for 2 weeks. The views of the ocean from the parks and Moonstone Beach were great. The elephant seals were an amazing sight.
My husband and I have stayed here before and keep coming back. This cottage has always been clean. Has everything we need. The host is easy to communicate with and so pleasant.
We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful retreat. You will most likely see deer roaming during the early morning and early evening hours.
