Perfect location

It was great to just park in the driveway, and walk to all the cute cafes, restaurants, and shops that downtown Cambria has to offer. A short 15 minute drive to Hearst Castle, and an even shorter drive to the boardwalk made our wick getaway easy to pack in lots of walking and activities. The Yellow House is comfy and cozy.

It was so nice to stay right downtown with so many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. The home is very comfortable and is well stocked with everything you need. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Cambria.

Wonderful stay at Cambria

The property was right in the middle of downtown. The home was well stocked and the host left us wonderful treats. The bedrooms were so comfortable and very quiet at night. We could walk to shops, restaurants, and explore this great town. We also were very close to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve where we hiked on the bluffs trail. The views were spectacular. Overall, it was a great experience! Thank you, Tristan!

Wonderful Weekend Away

My husband and I spent our 28th wedding anniversary in Cambria at the historic yellow house. I haven’t spent time in Cambria since the early 90s, so I was curious to see how it had changed. We found delicious food (Robin’s for brunch, Madeline’s downtown for apps & drinks/ linner) , and great shops and of course, the beautiful beaches. My only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer! I will definitely be back within the next year or so, and I will look to stay here again. The privacy, central location to everything, and historic charm are perfect for us. Thank you for a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great Stay in Cambria

My wife and I went to visit my brother in Cambria as we have many times in the past. This time, instead of staying at a place near his home, we stayed here closer to the far end of town. Except for some issues getting into the place (the batteries on the security system decided to fail), the home was outstanding. Very comfortable and perfectly located. The owner of the property was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Perfect location in town

Close to nearby shops and restaurants. The only issue was the steep driveway which was somewhat difficult due to rain and water running off the hill. A good place to start and come home to after a day of exploring. Great host. Well-equipped. Really enjoyed our stay.
