The perfect relaxing getaway!
This early 1900's cottage has been tenderly and tastefully restored creating a private and captivating retreat for you and your loved one. You'll sense the effort to anticipate your requirements for a memorable and replenishing stay, including a bottle of wine and chocolate inviting a toast to "your" stay.
Front and rear decks surrounded by ancient oaks and pine plus a charming flower garden enhance the ambiance of this very private cottage.
The crisp ocean air will greet you morning and evening. All your senses will be heightened as you listen to the distant bark of seals and crashing waves. Deer walk through your front yard along with racoons, squirrel, wild turkey, and the ever darling covey of quail. A myriad birds alone provide hours of entertainment.
Enjoy the king size bed, and cozy gas fireplace after a day of exploring.
Walk night or day to the ocean and hunt for wildlife in the tide pools where you can sit and watch the otters, humpback whales, and dolphins (seasonal). Bring your comfy shoes - it is uphill on the way back but it's worth it!
If you must work we have hi speed internet and telephone.
The satellite TV offers nearly all the premium channels and we stock the cottage with everything you'll need. If you forget something, the quaint village of Cambria is just a 5 minute drive.
One note for our tall guests. This cottage was built around 1907 and some tall guests (over 6'1) may have to duck through doorways. For the comfort of all our guests there is no smoking in or around the unit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lover's Cottage. The cottage was very clean and charming touches throughout; everything we needed was there for us; lots of nice linens, super comfy king bed; tons of CD's and DVD's; plenty of games & puzzles; comfortable chairs & couch to lounge in; especially loved the unique living room window looking out to the garden. Very quiet neighborhood; took walks every day. We can't wait to come back to this lovely haven!! We have already recommended this great find to several friends & family! The owners were very accommodating.

Idyllic cottage

This little cottage was ideal! The owners really supplied everything needed to make us feel at home and comfortable, including information on the walks and activities in the surrounding area. The location was perfect for our beach walking and the area was quiet and peaceful. The only negative to me was the king sized bed was very uncomfortable so I had to sleep in the small twin bed and my son had to sleep on the couch, too tall for the twin bed. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again when my husband and I can get back to the area. I would definitely recommend this little cottage to friends as a wonderful place to stay. Thanks to the owners for keeping it so clean and cozy!

The cottage is exactly as described and is in a very quiet neighborhood. Good for morning walks to Fiscalini ranch and the ocean. Wonderful place to stay and to come "home" to during one's stay. Sharon is a great host, we had a small Christmas tree, Champagne and chocolate as our welcome. Great base for day trips to Paso Robles, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and most of all the wonderful, ~ 2 hr. drive along Hwy 1 to Carmel/Monterey. Nice drive back a night too with the moon reflecting in the Pacific. We'll be back for sure.

We felt at home as soon as we opened the front door. We went to the beach to see elephant seals ... huge animals. The ocean was lovely. There are so many little touches to say you are welcome. We loved it.

A very charming cottage!

My husband and I would be happy to recommend this "Lover's Cottage" to our families or friends. The house is very clean and nicely appointed.We arrived to find a bottle of red wine and dark chocolates to enjoy on the sunny back deck. Mornings would find us walking along the bluff or exploring the tide pools. It was very easy to visit the wineries and other seaside towns along the coast. The owners provided a phone with a local number which was helpful since AT&T cell phone service was not available in the immediate area. We often stay at VRBO properties when we travel and this home is at the top of our list.

The charming "Lover's Cottage" is a very magical place to stay in Cambria. We enjoyed morning walks along the bluff trail, exploring the tide pools and listening to the quiet sounds of nature. The cottage was very clean and nicely appointed.. lots of charming details throughout. We found out after we arrived that our At&T reception did not work any where in the immediate area but thankfully there is a phone with a local number provided by the owners. Whenever we travel we use vacation rentals rather than hotels and we would list this home among our favorites.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at your cottage. The neighborhood was so quiet the only sounds we heard were the chirping of the birds. The deer were everywhere throughout the area and a joy to see. Our only regret was that we did not have more time to stay as we would have liked to hang out at the cottage more. Next time we will stay longer and enjoy the lovely garden and beautiful deck. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Owner response:Hi Maralee, We appreciate your kind words about your stay at the cottage. We look forward to having you visit again, with time to enjoy more of what Cambria and the quiet neighborhood have to offer. The cottage is delightful no matter the season, so do check your calendar. Best regards, Sharon & Don

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days during the Memorial Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage and in Cambria. We saw wild turkeys and deer during our walks around the many nature trails near the cottage. Sharon was very helpful and answered all my questions before we went on our trip. Everything you need is included in the cottage. We felt relaxed and loved the coziness of the cottage. We would love to come back there and stay in the cottage again. We highly recommend anyone looking for a private and romantic place to get away.

Words cannot describe what a relaxing week we had at the cottage. We woke up to families of Deer in the front yard, Blue Jays and Hummingbirds in the back and we even had the pleasure of a visit from a flock of wild turkeys! The cottage was perfectly clean and had everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Moonstone Beach was beautiful and peaceful; a perfect place for a picnic! Lunch at Schooners in Cayucos and Giovanni's in Morro Bay are a must! And of course, the Farmers Markets in the area are fabulous. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for providing such perfect accommodations!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage in a quiet, serene neighborhood. We found it to be exactly as described. It met our needs perfectly had a delightful time in this clean home with all the accommodations to details: wine, chocolates, DVD,s, board games, puzzels & much more. Enjoyed the deer and beautiful walks to the ocean with incredible views. Hearst Castle and the wineries in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo were highlights. Downtown Cambria is charming. This experience was truly wonderful.
