1 Bedroom Cottage in Lodge Hill, Cambria

Welcoming, relaxing, quiet, romantic and serene are some of the descriptions used by couples and individuals who've made our hillside Garden Cottage their Cambria destination. You can enjoy an idyllic Cambria experience in this tranquil location surrounded by Monterey Pines and terraced gardens.
An all-wood interior with streaming light from two large window seats combine with a pyramid roof and skylights to enhance a simple yet elegant interior. You’ll enjoy a cozy gas fireplace, hardwood floors, table and chairs, and a comfortable couch in the main living room. An extended window seat overlooks the forested canyon. A second window seat offers equally tranquil views. WiFi ready, and no TV. Just off the living room and down three steps brings you to a cozy sleeping nook with a firm standard size DOUBLE bed with a skylight, stain glass windows and French door to a small garden deck. You’ll find everything you need in the bright terracotta tiled kitchen and wood/tiled floor bathroom with standard-size shower stall. Premium towels and quality amenities provided. Steps away from the cottage is a large garden deck where you can enjoy the private peaceful canyon, wildlife, and distant ocean. The deck is the perfect place for morning yoga, an afternoon glass of wine, and an evening canyon sunset.
You'll find this property unique because it offers an experience of tranquility, open space, privacy, nature views and quiet surroundings, all within walking distance to Cambria Pines Lodge, East Village shops, restaurants, and the Fiscalini Ranch trail head.
A wonderful cabin experience for a non-smoking couple or individual (suitable for adults, two person maximum) needing serene retreat space and a comfortable place to unwind after enjoying a day on the central coast.
We live on the property and enjoy sharing our hillside with mature, respectful adults who are looking for a quality experience in peaceful surroundings. If you plan on entertaining, enjoy loud music into the night or smoke, this is not the vacation rental to choose.

Reviews

Monique F. Nov 27, 2025 02:23:27 AM
Summary: We love the cottage setting. The hillside garden with steps to a deck to soak in the magnificent tree line at sunset, and early morning fog, was absolutely beautiful! Restful and private. It is exactly what we needed. The bed was most comfortable - while it was little small, it was expected. The attention to detail and cleanliness was appreciated. The one thing for us that made this a 4 star instead of a 5 is that the toilet size was on the small side for comfort. Aside from this we would recommend friends and travellers to try to book this gem if it is ever available.
David L. Nov 11, 2025 12:54:00 PM
Summary: An exceptional stay! The cottage is so pleasant: top-notch design, stellar attention to detail throughout, comfortable bedding and window seats, cozy gas fireplace/heater, and peaceful patio. John and Lissa are very welcoming hosts.

Summary: Perfect serene getaway. Charming and many well provided amenities
Carolyn M. Jul 30, 2025 12:34:16 PM
Summary: Everything about the cottage was fantastic. It was the perfect place to spend a few quiet days reading, drinking tea, and relaxing. We loved the ability to walk into town too. I would happily stay there again.
Tegan H. Jul 28, 2025 07:05:57 AM
Summary: The cottage was so beautiful and comfortable and the perfect size for my husband and me. There are two window seats which we both spent an afternoon reading in. The garden is thoughtfully planted and maintained and it was lovely to relax with books at the table outside. It was conveniently located to downtown Cambria, hikes at the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, and of course the elephant seals in San Simeon which are not to be missed. Highly recommend!
Joel C. Jul 21, 2025 01:36:16 PM
Summary: Fabulous!

Summary: The new addition makes the place even more comfortable, and the owners provide thoughtful amenities. This was our third stay and we plan to be back.
Janice C. Apr 21, 2025 05:43:30 AM
Summary: Cambria Garden Cottage is a magical place to stay. The beautiful gardens and adorable cottage create an ambience that is perfect in every way. Although this was our first visit, it won’t be our last. We can’t wait to return to this peaceful and serene property.
Graham J. Apr 2, 2025 02:55:23 AM
Summary: Visiting from the UK, we wanted a lovely place near the Coast. I don't think we could have done better than the Garden Cottage and Cambria itself. A great finish to a lovely trip.
