"Downing Cottage"
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom (tub/shower), 1 Queen, 2 Twin beds. Wireless high-speed internet, smart TV , DVD player, microwave, dishwasher, free standing gas log fireplace (main heat source), gas BBQ on rear patio, carport, no garage. This cozy one level cottage offers a tranquil environment in the pine trees, walking distance to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve with an abundance of native birds including turkeys and grazing deer. There are two patios, one in front, and one in back of the fully enclosed yard. Both are sunny places to lounge with your best friend at your feet. Pick oranges from the front yard tree and enjoy fresh squeezed orange juice with your breakfast. There is a gas fire pit for your enjoyment on a cool, Cambria evening…or even daytime! When you enter the house, you are in the main living area. Both bedrooms are on the left, the bathroom is straight ahead. The bathroom can be accessed via a door from the living area, or the master bedroom. The nicely updated kitchen is ahead and slightly to the right with a door to the back patio. The dining room is to the right of the kitchen, with French doors opening on to the back patio. The TV room is to the right of the dining room and can also be accessed from the front patio. This is a dog friendly home. Please be aware that cell phone coverage is very spotty in this area. If you need some downtime, peace and quiet, a pretty landscape, escape the city, leave traffic jams behind, turn off your devices, and come to Downing Cottage!

Cambria Cottage

We were here for a short vacation in Cambria and environs. Check-in was easy (and included a free bottle of wine). The house is immaculate with a great layout and everything needed to cook meals, which we did most mornings and evenings. The neighborhood is quiet and green and close to the Fiscalini Ranch Reserve for nice walks on the ocean bluffs and only a few minutes' drive to the conveniences of town. We had a dog with us and the fenced-in patio surrounding the house made it easy for her to come in and out as she pleased. Very relaxing stay.

This lovely small home is nestled among trees in a very quiet neighborhood just a few minutes drive from the Cambria town center with its nice selection of high quality restaurants and charm. The sloping lot provides nice privacy when sitting outside either in front or behind. The kitchen had everything you could ever need to cook and the extra TV room was large and comfortable. We used this lovely home as a base for visiting Hearst Castle to the north and the lovely towns of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo to the south--easy drives. Definitely will come again to take another tour of Hearst Castle and explore the area more!

Positively Perfect Little House

A wonderful place to get away in a lovely town. This home in a very quiet neighborhood is beautifully appointed with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The well stocked kitchen was easy to navigate with quality equipment and dish ware. The house was impeccably clean with gleaming windows, double pane windows with nice window coverings and a spotless bathroom with plenty of hot water and towels. The yard is small but securely fenced with lovely plantings and stone work and seating options in the front and back to relax outdoors which made hanging out with our dog stress free. This was by far one of the nicest coastal rentals we have stayed at. Cambria is indeed a dog friendly town, we can’t wait to come back. I gave four stars for communication. We did not receive any communication before our arrival. I called the office on our drive over, Heidi was very responsive and the house was ready for us. When we stopped by the office for keys we were also given a nice bottle of wine and a toy for our pooch, which was a nice touch. So many places to hike, shop, eat and hang out with your fur baby. A great experience!

Easter weekend

My parents and my daughter and I stayed at the Downing house over Easter weekend. We came into Cambria to go the Hearst Castle. The House was perfect for us and just as advertised. We were very comfortable and will try to rent this home again at future visits to Cambria.

Lovely home in a lovely spot

The pictures don't do it justice. Charming home in a peaceful, quiet, piney setting, a short drive to town or to the beach and bluffs. Deer and wild turkeys wandered by every day. Lots of thoughtful touches and conveniences for visitors. And the cutest door stoppers ever.

Great location

The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to town. It's furnished well and has a great kitchen. The manager was wonderful. The yard could be cleaned up a bit. There were a lot of cobwebs. But this year we have the same problem at home. We would be happy to come here again.

We will be back!

Such a great location!!! Everything you need and so comfortable! Before my friend and I were packing up our cars to head out, we were already looking at our calendars to plan for another trip back. We will be staying here again and will be coming back separately with our families. It’s very clean, doggy friendly, and so comfortable!
