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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views all around were spectacular, the house was clean and has all of the amenities you need and is spacious. It was perfect for two couples. We had a question for the host while we were there and they responded very quickly.

    A beautiful, private property high above Cambria overlooking the Pacific ocean. Blew our expectations out of the water! Breathtaking views out of every window in all directions. We feel fortunate we got to experience it and couldn't imagine a better place to stay on the central coast. The home had all we needed and is Fido friendly as well. Jessie the owner provided excellent, detailed directions and was very responsive to our questions including extending our stay an extra night it was so great - we decided taking in the views another day would be time better spent than driving up highway 1 and stopping somewhere between Cinnabar Ranch and the bay area - many thanks for a superb stay! We want to come back

    The fenced area was helpful for the dogs but there was no mention of threats from vultures and hawks, which were plentiful. Hosts were responsive and installed 2 window screens but there are several other screens in need of repair. Beautiful views, great for birding and relaxing.

    Wonderful location, beautiful views of rolling hills, and peaks of the ocean through the lingering clouds. House is well maintained and has everything you need. This is a pet friendly home so our English Lab enjoyed himself, too. It was a lovely, relaxing weekend! Close to Cambria town, ocean and beaches and also made a day trip to Paso Robles.

    Having rented many VRBO properties, I can truly say the Cinnabar ranch house exceeded all expectations. One could not find more peace and quiet and incredible views than at Bram & Jessie's property. It is simply beautiful inside and out and as well stocked as one could expect. Where else could you be greeted by several very docile Longhorn steers. You can not go wrong by renting this stunning property!

    One of our best stays to date. Property was beautiful; views were even better than anticipated. Location was easily accessible to town, but removed enough to be completely peaceful and private. The dogs were happy and exhausted just from sniffing around the yard all weekend. Easy check-in and reasonable check-out procedures. Would love to return!

    I'm writing this sitting at the dining room table, on the last morning here. What a fantastic setting, experience, and location. Just three nights, but perfect spring weather. (ok, not exactly a function of the location, but still . . . ) Anyway, this is a custom, architect designed home, way up on a hill, overlooking Cambria. 360 degree views in all locations. Elegant, striking, comfortable for two couples. Everything was exactly what one looks for in a VRBO rental. Well stocked, well maintained, everything functional. The Owner/Managers were professional in every way. Great communication, instructions, explanations. Staying here is just an experience to have. Thanks so much!

    Beautiful property with even more beautiful view. House it clean and arranged well. Made for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The one downside is the long check out list and house rules. It’s a beautiful place so it makes sense they want to keep it in good standing shape, but the house rules and check out list was a bit excessive.

    We found this place to be way above our expectations. There were several hickups pertaining to maintinance issues but they were repaired quickly. The sunrises and sunsets were incredible. We met the 5 member coyote pack.. Not far from town at all and the drive is incredible. We will definitely be back again.

    Did I mention quiet? To be honest, I don't believe I've ever been in a quieter location. Off the main road, Cinnabar Ranch is the perfect place to get away from it all. The well appointed kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals - and with the most incredible views! The grill on the patio is easily accessed for multitasking dinner prep. We appreciated the layout of the home with bedrooms at either end for complete privacy. The beds were very comfy! Being avid bird watchers, we were amazed at the number of species observed. California quail are in abundance here, as are black chinned hummingbirds, California towhees, and turkey vultures circling above. We also met a male California brown tarantula on an early evening stroll. We are already looking at our calendars to plan our next trip here - certainly an exceptionally special place in Cambria. 10 stars out of 5!

    Our Anniversary trip to the Cambria area of California was just as the title states, Heavenly. The home is everything you can imagine based on the wonderful pictures, just stunning in person. The home was very clean and ready for our use, especially appreciated a well stocked kitchen, we love to cook. Just loved the town of Cambria and our Julia Morgan tour of Hearst Castle. Keeping this short I will finish by simply saying you won't be disappointed. Thank you to the owners for sharing this amazing place.

    This property ranks up there with some of my most favorite VRBO locations. First, it really is a quiet, remote and private location up in the hills overlooking Cambria and every evening, the sunset and the Pacific provided a unique and different show. The kitchen is well stocked and arranged for cooking and the beds comfy and well needed after travel and sight seeing. Communication was a breeze with the owners and we had no issues during our stay. The true measure of a VRBO would we stay again and would we recommend a place. Yes on both!
