About the host
Hosted by John Eskelin, Lissa McConnell-Eskelin
We've lived in Cambria for over 40 years, and we're renewed and inspired every day by the beauty and peaceful nature of our unique location and our coastal village. We love to travel and appreciate thoughtful and comfortable lodgings. We're very happy to share our hillside retreat with other mature travelers while also respecting your privacy. You may meet us when you check in, during your stay, or when you check out, but if you don't see us, we're are still available at any time. We both look forward to sharing our unique treasure of the Central Coast with you.
Why they chose this property
Expansive location, beautiful views, quiet, tranquil, close to town.
What makes this property unique
Located in a secluded panoramic canyon just a short walk from the restaurant at Cambria Pines Lodge, this cottage is where you'll experience the quiet renewal that the Cambria lifestyle offers. Walk to the East Village, one of the Fiscalini Ranch trail heads, or enjoy a drive through the bucolic countryside and wine region. A gateway to Big Sur, Cambria is a destination or a resting stop along the scenic central coast. We invite you to relax and renew!
