About this property
An aesthetic delight high above Cambria steeped in nature but close to town.
This property is a perfect blend of rural, coastal and tranquility. Sitting on a commanding promontory 800 feet above the valleys that surround it, this two bedroom ranch home has epic views in every direction. The folds of the commanding Santa Lucia Mountains back Cinnabar Ranch and the Pacific Ocean sets the western panorama with 40 miles of wild coastline on view.
Located on 80 private acres, there is both room to roam and space to gain from the rest of the world. You could have a perfectly lovely stay without ever leaving the property, but if the allure of the town (Cambria), the coast or Hearst Castle call to you, everything is just a brief drive away. You'll want to be back here for at least one sunset as the location is set up to provide quite a show. At the ranch the night sky is typically deep black and spectacularly full of stars. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and reminisce about the day.
A nature walk from the house can be a fine activity. See cows grazing down in the valley, critters roaming the grounds, or hawks and vultures circling overhead. Board game inside or yard game outside? How about a hammock and a good book? For more modern engagements, there is high speed internet and TV. Within a very short drive you can enjoy local wine tasting, horseback riding and so much more. The quaint town of Cambria has a variety of restaurants, unique shops and art galleries. And, of course, the famous Moonstone Beach is yours to explore.

About the host
Hosted by Bram & Jessie
Hi there, my name is Jessie and I’m a full time working Mom to my son Barrett and our rescue pups, Dexter & Brutus, our 2 goats Finn & Buckley along with their protector, Odin. I moved to the beautiful Central Coast 20 years ago after visiting family every year since I was a child. My husband, Bram, was born and raised in Cambria and has grown up in the hospitality business. We own and operate several local hotels and have an extensive background in hospitality and customer service. You can rest assured that when you stay with us you are staying with some of the best professionals in the industry.
Why they chose this property
We live on a ranch adjacent to the Cinnabar Ranch Retreat and absolutely love this unique property. Cambria is our home and where we see ourselves continuing to grow our family. We are delighted that we get to share it with our guests through our hotels and now our vacation rental. While Cinnabar offers plenty of privacy we are close by should you require anything at all during your stay. This property is beautifully appointed with all of the essentials you need to make your stay one of a kind.
What makes this property unique
The views of this property are truly amazing and home to some of the best sunsets you will ever see. There is a reason why Hearst Castle is nestled in these same mountains with the same ocean views from the tip of Montana de Oro to the light house at Piedras Blancas. We would love to welcome you to Cinnabar Ranch Retreat so that you may experience it's peaceful beauty for yourself.
