About this property

An aesthetic delight high above Cambria steeped in nature but close to town.

This property is a perfect blend of rural, coastal and tranquility. Sitting on a commanding promontory 800 feet above the valleys that surround it, this two bedroom ranch home has epic views in every direction. The folds of the commanding Santa Lucia Mountains back Cinnabar Ranch and the Pacific Ocean sets the western panorama with 40 miles of wild coastline on view.

Located on 80 private acres, there is both room to roam and space to gain from the rest of the world. You could have a perfectly lovely stay without ever leaving the property, but if the allure of the town (Cambria), the coast or Hearst Castle call to you, everything is just a brief drive away. You'll want to be back here for at least one sunset as the location is set up to provide quite a show. At the ranch the night sky is typically deep black and spectacularly full of stars. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and reminisce about the day.

A nature walk from the house can be a fine activity. See cows grazing down in the valley, critters roaming the grounds, or hawks and vultures circling overhead. Board game inside or yard game outside? How about a hammock and a good book? For more modern engagements, there is high speed internet and TV. Within a very short drive you can enjoy local wine tasting, horseback riding and so much more. The quaint town of Cambria has a variety of restaurants, unique shops and art galleries. And, of course, the famous Moonstone Beach is yours to explore.

Great stay but….

Beautiful property with even more beautiful view. House it clean and arranged well. Made for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The one downside is the long check out list and house rules. It’s a beautiful place so it makes sense they want to keep it in good standing shape, but the house rules and check out list was a bit excessive.

Peace and Tranquility

We found this place to be way above our expectations. There were several hickups pertaining to maintinance issues but they were repaired quickly. The sunrises and sunsets were incredible. We met the 5 member coyote pack.. Not far from town at all and the drive is incredible. We will definitely be back again.

Just Wow!

I'm writing this sitting at the dining room table, on the last morning here. What a fantastic setting, experience, and location. Just three nights, but perfect spring weather. (ok, not exactly a function of the location, but still . . . ) Anyway, this is a custom, architect designed home, way up on a hill, overlooking Cambria. 360 degree views in all locations. Elegant, striking, comfortable for two couples. Everything was exactly what one looks for in a VRBO rental. Well stocked, well maintained, everything functional. The Owner/Managers were professional in every way. Great communication, instructions, explanations. Staying here is just an experience to have. Thanks so much!

Amazing Views All Around

We enjoyed our stay in this tranquil setting. Watching birds and the cattle was very relaxing. We were surprised that on a clear day we could see all the way to the Piedras Blancas lighthouse. The well-designed house takes full advantage of the views, as do the numerous outdoor seating areas.

Heavenly Anniversary

Our Anniversary trip to the Cambria area of California was just as the title states, Heavenly. The home is everything you can imagine based on the wonderful pictures, just stunning in person. The home was very clean and ready for our use, especially appreciated a well stocked kitchen, we love to cook. Just loved the town of Cambria and our Julia Morgan tour of Hearst Castle. Keeping this short I will finish by simply saying you won't be disappointed. Thank you to the owners for sharing this amazing place.

My wife and I, along with our pups, had a chance to get out of town and visit Cambria. The location and setting of the house is stunning. We will come back up when we get the chance. Really an incredible location and the host was very responsive

About the host

Hosted by Bram & Jessie

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Jessie and I’m a full time working Mom to my son Barrett and our rescue pups, Dexter & Brutus, our 2 goats Finn & Buckley along with their protector, Odin. I moved to the beautiful Central Coast 20 years ago after visiting family every year since I was a child. My husband, Bram, was born and raised in Cambria and has grown up in the hospitality business. We own and operate several local hotels and have an extensive background in hospitality and customer service. You can rest assured that when you stay with us you are staying with some of the best professionals in the industry.

Why they chose this property

We live on a ranch adjacent to the Cinnabar Ranch Retreat and absolutely love this unique property. Cambria is our home and where we see ourselves continuing to grow our family. We are delighted that we get to share it with our guests through our hotels and now our vacation rental. While Cinnabar offers plenty of privacy we are close by should you require anything at all during your stay. This property is beautifully appointed with all of the essentials you need to make your stay one of a kind.

What makes this property unique

The views of this property are truly amazing and home to some of the best sunsets you will ever see. There is a reason why Hearst Castle is nestled in these same mountains with the same ocean views from the tip of Montana de Oro to the light house at Piedras Blancas. We would love to welcome you to Cinnabar Ranch Retreat so that you may experience it's peaceful beauty for yourself.
