Cute little place that met our needs for a two night trip up the coast. It was nice to have a dedicated kitchen area and the whole place was well equipped if you don't mind not having a TV. The shower stall was quite small and the heater made a very noisy knocking noise when we used it the first night so went without heat the second night and it got chilly. Loved all the windows that looked out on the surrounding landscape. The privacy was also wonderful compared to staying in a hotel.

Very charming and cozy. Perfect for a solo traveler. WiFi worked well and I felt completely safe. Great location for Central Coast exploring. Fans only for cooling, though, and it can get hot here. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Our host welcomed as we arrived to this quaint cottage on a very large rural farm. He let us know to please make contact if we needed anything or had any questions. The cottage was clean & had everything we needed for our visit. I didn't even realize there was no TV until later on, we aren't big TV watchers anyway so it was perfect. The weather was wet and the wind was wild but the cottsge was warm & dry. The cows greeted us in the evening when they came home for dinner from a day of roaming the hillside. There's a great coffee shop in Harmony just north on hwy 1, and Morro Bay is just south, perfect for dinner or groceries. A definite must to return to each year ... especially since our engagement took place in that very cottage! Thsnk you!
Lots of open parking on a well maintained and beautiful property
The cows came home for dinner, after a long day of, we'll, grazing !

Caretakers house at Harmony ranch was as advertised. Plenty of room for me or for a couple. Cottage was clean and well located for my purpose of exploring the areas along CA HWY 1. Close to Cayucos and Cambria for restaurants and shopping.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

This is a lovely little home on a fantastic ranch. You can see for miles from the top of the short ridge behind the house. The owners were very responsive to questions and we never saw/heard the ranch hand that was apparently living in another building. Water is not potable (but bottled water provided). And no television (what we wanted). We fell asleep to the barn owls calling to each other.

Central California Coast Charm

We love the Cambria area and the beach hotels are getting costlier. We found this gem off the beaten path and took a chance. We loved the charm, the location and the peaceful solitude of the cottage and the farm. Know that it is small, but it is very cozy for two. Don't miss the winery just two miles down the road (Harmony Cellars) and Cambria is just a few more minutes down the road. We'll be back!

Charming Country Cottage

Our stay was wonderful. First of all, our host couple was very nice and helpful. They were attentive to any questions or needs. They gave us a nice tour of the property which great. The property was rustic with many interesting features. The cottage was homey and comfortable with all of the amenities available. The welcome book with all of the information was very clear and helpful. This property was perfect for a relaxing get away. My husband and I highly recommend the Caretakers Cottage!
