The husband & wife that converted this old milk house into a studio setup did a great job. Little kitchenette with microwave and single burner were more than enough for my weekend stay. I am a repeat guest and will continue to stay here when my travels bring me to the area.

It was a wonderful stay. It was quiet and relaxing. The owner was feeding the cows when we first arrived. He was very welcoming. An added extra touch I appreciated was the bottled water they had available. It is on a private ranch but very close to towns. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location for our honeymoon

My wife and I stayed here for a week for our honeymoon in Cambria. This place was the perfect location, being nice and secluded yet not too far from the city. All the amenities worked great, and it was a great place to return to and rest in after a day of exploration. I would absolutely recommend staying here for short vacations to the area.

Small but sweet & as isolated as we wanted

Great little place. Had a wonderful time getting away from the busy schedule & just disconnecting. Didn't have to travel too far & wasn't that far away from nature or Morro/Cyucos if we wanted to hit a restaurant. Great little get away.

Fabulous Spot

Our stay at the Milk Ranch was memorable. It is a very lovely property and the hosts are stellar. We were there in early spring and experienced the tenth or eleventh atmospheric river as well as more shades of green that you would think possibly existed. Will definitely be back
