About this cottage rental

Welcoming, relaxing, quiet, romantic and serene are some of the descriptions used by couples and individuals who've made our hillside Garden Cottage their Cambria destination. You can enjoy an idyllic Cambria experience in this tranquil location surrounded by Monterey Pines and terraced gardens.

An all-wood interior with streaming light from two large window seats combine with a pyramid roof and skylights to enhance a simple yet elegant interior. You’ll enjoy a cozy gas fireplace, hardwood floors, table and chairs, and a comfortable couch in the main living room. An extended window seat overlooks the forested canyon. A second window seat offers equally tranquil views. WiFi ready, and no TV. Just off the living room and down three steps brings you to a cozy sleeping nook with a firm standard size DOUBLE bed with a skylight, stain glass windows and French door to a small garden deck. You’ll find everything you need in the bright terracotta tiled kitchen and wood/tiled floor bathroom with standard-size shower stall. Premium towels and quality amenities provided. Steps away from the cottage is a large garden deck where you can enjoy the private peaceful canyon, wildlife, and distant ocean. The deck is the perfect place for morning yoga, an afternoon glass of wine, and an evening canyon sunset.

You'll find this property unique because it offers an experience of tranquility, open space, privacy, nature views and quiet surroundings, all within walking distance to Cambria Pines Lodge, East Village shops, restaurants, and the Fiscalini Ranch trail head.

A wonderful cabin experience for a non-smoking couple or individual (suitable for adults, two person maximum) needing serene retreat space and a comfortable place to unwind after enjoying a day on the central coast.

We live on the property and enjoy sharing our hillside with mature, respectful adults who are looking for a quality experience in peaceful surroundings. If you plan on entertaining, enjoy loud music into the night or smoke, this is not the vacation rental to choose.

Encantado! We enjoyed every part of this beautiful property that Lissa and John offer to selected guests. From the manicured landscape to the features within the home, detail was never lacking. Upon arrival, there were scrumptuous fresh baked oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies! The flora and fuana of this property do not disappoint! Wild turkeys, quails, hawks, turkey vultures to the carefully landscaped succulent collection were phenomenal and unparalleled to our other stays. We hope to return next year!

Everything about this VRBO was amazing! We ended up getting in late and I hadn’t even checked the messages but the hosts were kind enough to leave the light on for us. We were greeted by fresh baked cookies which were absolutely delicious! We loved that we were close enough to town to walk but never got the chance to. We’re definitely planning on coming back sometime!!
