Great location for a day trip to Hearst Castle. The property was close to coast highway, where we were greeted by a heard of cows. Once on site, we were immersed in the pines and oak trees, with wild turkeys and quails walking the grounds close by. We stayed at the property after camping for a few nights in Big Sur, which turned out to be a great combination. We loved eating at the Sea Chest down the road during sunset one evening. Our site host was very warm. We would be happy to stay here again on future trips.

The location of the home is superb and is like stepping into your own private world. We loved “living in a forest” for a few days and loved how convenient town access and beach access were. Both spaces of the home were spotless and we loved having access to the top unit and main house. We would alternate between sitting on the rear porch, upper balcony or front porch and watch and listen to the wildlife that also call this space home. We had the pleasure of seeing the same momma deer and her fawn every day we were there. Overall, this was a great experience and we look forward to coming back and enjoying this magical place. Cambria has a lot to offer, and this is the perfect location to access it from. You’re a few minutes away while still having total seclusion. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and reset this is it.

The location was great, as it sits between both Cambria and Hearst Castle. The cottage was everything we hoped for with countless deers walking the property. At night, you could also hear the ocean off in the nearby distance which was relaxing. Definitely recommend this property and will be back again.

Wonderful stay as always!

We were thrilled to stay at Karl’s cottage and had an amazing time as always! We were able to see deer and turkeys throughout each day and enjoy the tire and tree swings on the property with our kids, and the upstairs is perfect for running and playing when it’s too windy, rainy, or cold. The house is perfectly located near Moonstone Beach, the playground, Fiscalini Ranch, and the town. We look forward to visiting again!
