About this house rental
Cheerful, single level, 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 1 Queen, 2 Twin beds. Peaceful in the pines, with your dog at your feet on the sunny, fully fenced in brick patio!
`Downing Cottage`
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom (tub/shower), 1 Queen, 2 Twin beds. Wireless high-speed internet, smart TV , DVD player, microwave, dishwasher, free standing gas log fireplace (main heat source), gas BBQ on rear patio, carport, no garage. This cozy one level cottage offers a tranquil environment in the pine trees, walking distance to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve with an abundance of native birds including turkeys and grazing deer. There are two patios, one in front, and one in back of the fully enclosed yard. Both are sunny places to lounge with your best friend at your feet. Pick oranges from the front yard tree and enjoy fresh squeezed orange juice with your breakfast. There is a gas fire pit for your enjoyment on a cool, Cambria evening…or even daytime! When you enter the house, you are in the main living area. Both bedrooms are on the left, the bathroom is straight ahead. The bathroom can be accessed via a door from the living area, or the master bedroom. The nicely updated kitchen is ahead and slightly to the right with a door to the back patio. The dining room is to the right of the kitchen, with French doors opening on to the back patio. The TV room is to the right of the dining room and can also be accessed from the front patio. This is a dog friendly home. Please be aware that cell phone coverage is very spotty in this area. If you need some downtime, peace and quiet, a pretty landscape, escape the city, leave traffic jams behind, turn off your devices, and come to Downing Cottage!

Very nice home, but might be tight for over 4 people. Stocked well and a lovely neighborhood. Was just fine for the 2 of us. The outside is patios are beautiful.

Reviewer Comments:
Wow a great stay in a nice small house, off the busy streets. I have been coming to Cambria since 1947, and I think this is the most peaceful area. The rental was well equipped even headlamp for power outages which the was one. There only 4 stairs to navigate, none in the house. My pup really enjoyed his stay. Weather varied from nice sunshine to rain. Heidi and Cara at Cambria Vacation Rentals treated me like family. Also I have already rented this house for a longer stay in the fall. Again a very peaceful area.

From the ease of booking to the clear communication, everything about our stay was smooth and enjoyable. The property description was accurate—the cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and in a secluded location that was still close to the city, beaches, and plenty of wildlife.I would happily recommend this cottage to friends and family. It was the perfect place for a relaxing peaceful getaway.
