Beautiful House

We were there for a work planning retreat and this house was the perfect fit for us to be able to work together or alone. The house is well taken care of and the karaoke set up was so much fun. The house is well equipped with plenty of cooking/ utensils andif you need to dine out, the food in Cambria is wonderful. Would like to stay there again.
