The property and home invite you to rediscover the joys of relaxation in open spaces with features such as the open concept living dining and kitchen along with 740 acres to explore. The gentle rolling hills with views of the coastline provide the perfect backdrop for unwinding and enjoying a genuine getaway. With spacious front and back patios, you will have privacy, peace and quiet out in the country.

The layout and features of the home are perfect for any group. With 5 bedrooms and 4 baths this property can accommodate friends, family, or work groups with a variety of shared and private spaces. The large living and dining spaces invite you to gather around the fireplace or at the farm style dining table.

Your group will also love the large game room with billiards, bumper pool, and ping pong. You will have a ton of space to enjoy the people you're with in a spectacular location with hiking and exploring right out your front door.

The Office also acts as a bonus sleeping space and features a sleeper sofa.

The home is in a rural location, so we recommend getting groceries in advance in Cambria since you'll want to settle in once you arrive after your drive through the country. This is a private ranch off a long, rural country road and an unpaved driveway, but it's so worth the adventure (a standard car will make it just fine). The home is about 15 minutes from Cambria and 45 minutes from San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.

There is no cell service at the home or on the property. Wifi is available for wifi calling.
This home does not have air conditioning.

The artistic town of Cambria is famous for its dramatic coastal landscape, nested where ocean meets pine forests. Chock-full of character with historic architecture, downtown art galleries, boutique shops, antiques, history and romance. Savor the flavors of SLO CAL with gourmet foods and luxurious wines showcased at a variety of tasting rooms. Every day in Cambria is a creative adventure. Get out and explore on the trails among towering Monterey pines. Stroll the Moonstone Beach pathways at sunset. Ride the shores on horseback or the hills on a Clydesdale. The beauty of Cambria truly lies in the details. Located on California's iconic Highway 1 between Cayucos and San Simeon, Cambria offers up village charm, delicious flavors and natural wonders. Regardless of the season or the reason for your visit, Cambria has something for everyone.

Christmas NYE family gift trip
Stepladder ranch is amazing and the big house is large enough for a family of 16+ lots of open space room to play games run around huge kitchen. Our only biggest complaint the whole time was that there were only seven forks in the entire home and after we checked out they brought an abundance of forks but during the stay they did not bring any forks which was frustrating but beyond that the house is great location is super fun. The video of the home showed a hot tub so we all brought suits to go in the hot tub and there was no hot tub.

Perfect Vacation Spot
This property is AMAZING!! While the first trip up the hill was scary…we all agreed it was well worth it. The home is perfect for a large group, the view was spectacular, and everything in the home was high quality making it a pleasure to stay in and cook, play family games, and make memories. I am already looking forward to making another trip!!

Beautiful house with spectacular view
We stayed the weekend with our large family. It was perfect. We did not mind the drive up the hill and were appropriately advised of the remoteness.

Amazing as usual
Steppladder Ranch is an amazing place to say for those with large groups needing plenty of room. The accommodations are excellent with plenty of space to spread out. The views in the evening as the sun sets towards the coast cannot be beat!
