The Redwood Hearts Cottage in Cambria

Built in the late 1950's, this Mid-Century cottage is one of the original properties of Lodge Hill in the seaside town of Cambria. The cottage was built using only redwood hearts and offers an "Early California" feeling with its vaulted ceilings and picture windows offering nice territorial views.

In 2025, the cottage was refurbished with a new sub-floor, high-end odorless vinyl flooring, wood baseboards, bathroom, interior paint, quartz kitchen counter, window treatments, designer lighting, furnishings. fencing, driveway base, gutter system, and exterior door.

Redwood Hearts Cottage retains an "old world" feeling with its contemporary Country Cottage theme, but it now feels more like a home and less like a cabin. Improvements are ongoing when guests are not using the property.

Enjoy easy access to local attractions, town, and the beach from this convenient, and quiet location. A spacious deck overlooks the mountains and the yard has seasonal fruit trees, which attract animals. Watch the turkeys, deer, and sunsets in this serene, natural setting.

The owner of this home has received a non-disclosable legal waiver to disallow animals of any kind, due to her own respiratory disability; and, therefore, guests with respiratory issues can reasonably expect to enjoy a home free from dog dander. Please seek to book a different property, if you need to bring an animal with you for any reason.

Though the inside has been refurbished, the exterior still retains a very "woodsy feeling" and all walkways are dirt and gravel. Please review the access photos before deciding to book.

The property is best suited for familial groups, or solo guests due to the configuration of the cottage. Maximum occupancy is three people, and this includes all infants and children. There is enough parking for only two vehicles on the property, and this is the maximum number of vehicles permitted per booking.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a private yard, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

Lovely place to stay!

The Redwood Hearts Cottage in Cambria was perfect for me and my husband. Our host was incredibly kind and responsive, with lovely touches of whimsy throughout the house. It is about a 6 minute drive into town, in a quiet residential area. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom. I'd stay there again.

If you are a clean freak then this is the place for you. I am alergic to all kinds of pets dander, and this place is a perfect match for me since the owners do not allow pets. Also inside is even better than the photos. The only downside is lack of dishwasher and washer dryer. As long as you don't cook alot then its not an issue

Cozy and Quiet

This is our second time to stay at the Cottage and we are hoping to be back before too long, it’s that inviting. It’s a short drive to town or the beaches. Lots of lovely food to choose and shopping for everyone’s price range. Cambria has its own small village vibe, but we find that locals are friendly and hospitable.

This cozy cottage is nicely curated in a vintage style. The beds are comfy, and everything is clean and cared for. The living room might be small for more than 2 people to hang out in but the 2 bedrooms are spacious. There’s a carport for parking. As a couple we fit here fine and we enjoyed our 4-night stay.

Cozy Retreat

A sweet redwood cottage in the quiet hills above the town of Cambria. A perfect house for relaxing and being close to nature. Sherry, the host, shows her thoughtfulness with stocking the cottage with everything you might need. Moreover, a bottle of wine, Spring water and oatmeal raisin cookies were waiting for me in the kitchen. My week spent here was very memorable because I could enjoy privacy, and know that my host was a text away if I needed anything.

Comfort and Quite near Town

This little rustic home is clean, close to town and comfortable. Sherry, the property manager was very responsive and would reply within minutes of my text. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have slept on at any VRBO. In fact, one of the ladies in our group wants to know what type of mattress they are because she wants to buy one. Thank you, Sherry! We will be back!

Comfy quiet retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable. The fireplace in the living room is perfect for cool mornings and evening. We stayed in the room by the bathroom which has a very comfy bed. Lots of great magazines to read, birds to watch, fresh air to breathe. Walking in the area is beautiful and inspiring. My only complaint is not enough basics in the kitchen. Perhaps a few more spices/ herbs, cooking oil. We appreciated the snacks and coffee supplies. There was a welcoming bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Very nice stay.

Dated and smells old

The property was basically a place to lay our heads at night. The location was convenient. The home and furnishings were clean but old and felt worn out- ie- towels were well worn, electric outlet didn't work. Upon arrival bath mat was damp as though someone had just taken a shower and didn't hang up mat to dry. We were greeted with a musty "old" smell throughout our stay. The owner was pleasant in our communications which were brief & efficient.

Lovely Home in neighborhood. Deer's outside

Me and my hubby had a very good stay. The host was relatively communicative and very accommodating overall. We didn't expect the house to be so close to other homes but we still managed to feel a sense of privacy and solitude which is what we planned for. Be aware that the kitchen porch light that is on the wall that faces the neighbors home evidently glares into the neighbors home. She kind of caught me off guard as she told me so talking to me through the door asking me to be sure that light is off by 10:00pm.

Lovely Getaway

So…the first things I hope for in a VRBO stay are a good, comfortable bed and a well stocked kitchen. Check and check! The beds were wonderful, and the kitchen had anything you might need, and more. There are some very nice ‘extras’ that most VRBO owners don’t provide, and we appreciated their thoughtfulness! The house is small, but it is so well designed that our family members had their own spaces, and we didn’t feel as if we were on top of each other. Thank you for a comfortable stay! We loved our time on the Central Coast!

Cottage was just the right size for the 2 of us to enjoy togetherness and also some privacy. Very peaceful and quiet. We indeed saw deer and wild turkeys.

Cute cottage, great location

We had a wonderful time here! The cottage is cute and cozy. We spent a lot of time on the deck, beneath the apple tree, watching deer who visited the yard pretty much every day. The kitchen had all we needed and we made most of our own meals. The location of the cottage is just perfect! A quiet neighborhood with both the Strawberry Canyon path and Fiscalini Ranch Preserve within walking distance (though you can also drive to Fiscalini, parking was not a problem). So you have the sea, the hills/forest and walking trails all there. Then it is also just a short drive into town, where we enjoyed several cafes and sandwich shops. Great location in terms of going further afiled too - Heart Castle is close, etc. Would definitely come back! One quick note: Be aware this unit does not have A/C. Most of the year this should be perfectly fine - Cambria is very temperate. We were there during an unusual heat wave and we coped with it by just hanging out on the deck. But something to keep in mind if there are elderly or otherwise sensitive people in your party.
