Amazing Stay

Such a great weekend! Marci was super communicative and great to work with. Lovely place - big enough for the 17 of us. Super close to town and easy walk to the natural preserve where you can go for a nice shaded walk. Highly recommended!

Great place for team building

The house provided a great place for a team building retreat and meeting. The main room downstairs comfortable seats 10 or more for a meeting or a meal. The housekeeper met us there and did a great job of showing us where everything was. Everything is there to make gourmet meals a part of your stay.

Beautiful House

We were there for a work planning retreat and this house was the perfect fit for us to be able to work together or alone. The house is well taken care of and the karaoke set up was so much fun. The house is well equipped with plenty of cooking/ utensils andif you need to dine out, the food in Cambria is wonderful. Would like to stay there again.
