We have been visiting Cambria for over 20 years. We have stayed in hotels, motels, and vrbos of all shapes and sizes. This stay was absolutely the best and most comfortable for us. We visit to hike along the bluffs of the Pacific. We were close to all our favorite hikes and wineries. What a pleasure to find this gem! Will be visiting again....

I was truly impressed with both the Lodge Hill accommodations and our host, Alex. The place was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the Fiscallini Preserve.Accommodations were exactly as stated and perfect for 3 adults, my husband, son, and me) and our senior dog. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen stocked with essentials, and the place felt really peaceful. Alex was incredible and responsive to our communications. He was outstanding.And we were close to hiking, the beach, and town.This is a place and a host I would like to return to in the future.

As a person who has been to Morro Bay and it’s surrounding areas every year for the past 36 years, You can’t ask for a better place to stay in Cambria wonderful place with great views of the forest and stars in the sky at night, beautiful and spacious inside and out within a mile from the bluffs trail in Cambria which is a great walk, less than 2.5 miles from the center of town which we enjoyed, 30 minutes north of is San Simeon where Hearst Castle is and another great beach to walk and go out on the pier, 25 minutes south you have Morro Bay and about an 90 minutes south you have Solvang all great places to go to and enjoy.

We had a very nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable and roomy with nice amenities. Entrance to the Fiscalini Preserve trails are about a block from the property and a walk to the ocean on the trails takes about 35 minutes. We would stay at this property again.
