About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Quiet Cambria Retreat
Did I mention quiet? To be honest, I don't believe I've ever been in a quieter location. Off the main road, Cinnabar Ranch is the perfect place to get away from it all. The well appointed kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals - and with the most incredible views! The grill on the patio is easily accessed for multitasking dinner prep. We appreciated the layout of the home with bedrooms at either end for complete privacy. The beds were very comfy! Being avid bird watchers, we were amazed at the number of species observed. California quail are in abundance here, as are black chinned hummingbirds, California towhees, and turkey vultures circling above. We also met a male California brown tarantula on an early evening stroll. We are already looking at our calendars to plan our next trip here - certainly an exceptionally special place in Cambria. 10 stars out of 5!

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.

An amazing place well worth the drive
This property ranks up there with some of my most favorite VRBO locations. First, it really is a quiet, remote and private location up in the hills overlooking Cambria and every evening, the sunset and the Pacific provided a unique and different show. The kitchen is well stocked and arranged for cooking and the beds comfy and well needed after travel and sight seeing. Communication was a breeze with the owners and we had no issues during our stay. The true measure of a VRBO would we stay again and would we recommend a place. Yes on both!

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.

Awesome views in Cambria
Amazing location that met and exceeded expectations. As long as you don’t mind being a few minutes (15 or so) away from the town of Cambria and a few more from the coast. Wonderful place and awesome small home. Perfect for two or a small family. Will almost certainly be back.

Beautiful House, Beautiful Views
The house was beautiful, beds were super comfortable and the kitchen very well stocked. We were there for Christmas and I had no trouble preparing our holiday meal. You are off the main road a bit so if you do not like rural driving be prepared, but if you do it is so worth it. My family had a wonderful stay and if we return to the area would love to stay here again.

Perfect!
This property is an absolute dream! You won’t find a more magical location in Cambria. We needed to get away from the overwhelming hustle bustle of Orange County and cinnabar ranch did the trick. The views are astounding and our only neighbors were the cows and quails. Don’t let the home’s remoteness scare you off. While it feels like you are in the middle of blessed nowhere, the drive to town is maybe only five minutes. While the house is beautiful, well appointed and oh so comfy, the jewel in its crown is that it was almost completely accessible! My mother is legally blind and has mobility issues and aside from one tiny step into the shower, the house was totally flat and a breeze for her to navigate. We couldn’t have had a better time and immediately booked our next stay!

Comfort, coastal views, and seclusion
Secluded, comfortable, and serene. Great kitchen and living room. Comfortable beds, ample privacy if staying with another couple or family members. An overall pleasant stay. The views and privacy make up for any amenities that may be lacking. Cambria and the central coast generally have water restrictions, so low pressure showers are to be expected. Definitely recommend this property if you’re looking for a unique vacation rental.
