Perfect cousins weekend

We were delighted with the property and could have happily stayed at the house and just enjoyed the garden, the views and the cozy parlor. It was the perfect setting for hot cocoa after our trip to the Cambria Christmas market. We took advantage of the location and enjoyed several walks on the beach.

Birthday celebration

Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed walks along the broadwalk and hiking trails on the ranch. Enjoyed sunsets from the deck and in the kitchen around the island. Lots of great food in town. Weather was good, some fog, but it blew out later in the morning. Loved reading the history of the house and the moving of it.

Tranquility in Cambria

Location Location Location. Celebrated my 70th BD, 3 adults and grandson, 6 years old. Loved this well stocked and historical interesting home. Views of the Ocean and Garden a perfect mix for relaxation. Walked every morning along Moonstone Beach, less than 5 minutes from home. Loved the upstairs privacy and the hike up the stairs was really no problem, just go slow. One suggestion, swap out the queen bed upstairs to a King..

Few days spent in paradise

My husband and I enjoyed Cambria and our stay at the Victorian Lightkeepers House. It was a very comfortable stay and the owners made it very inviting. A home away from home. Very clean; quiet; appliances in excellent working condition. Close to beach. Highly recommend and would certainly stay again on next visit to Cambria.
