We took advantage of the “ winter package” which was offered at a good price and included a 2 night stay for 2, breakfast buffet each morning, and a lovely dinner with a bottle of very good wine. The grounds are interesting and well cared for. There was well organized outside seating. Some areas were partially enclosed with fireplaces. This is a very welcoming, pet friendly place. We would love to stay here again!

We always love going to Cambria Pines Lodge. We travel with our dog, and the Lodge is dog-friendly, for a small nightly fee. Also, the food at the restaurant is very good, and you can eat in the lounge instead and get full restaurant service while enjoying live music. Speaking of the lounge, you can play games there during the day, hang out with your friends, drink coffee, etc. Almost like your living room! The service is very good, everything is clean and comfortable. It isn't a luxury hotel, but a lodge with everything you need and more. Can't wait to go back!

Customer service was excellent. We felt very welcome and very accommodated. The food was delicious and the room was clean and comfortable. Our dog was treated special with little gifts and treats. We had a delicious dinner. Over the top service. We couldn’t be happier.

A cozy home away from home. We stayed in a stand alone cottage on the property and it provided all the creature comforts we needed. The fireplaces and jacuzzi tub were wonderful during the stormy days during our stay. The live entertainment and comfortable lounge with fire blazing in the large fireplace was a wonderful bonus. Restaurant provides delicious food as well.

We stayed Tues & Wed night and really enjoyed the vacation. The room was cozy and spacious with a living room and bedroom with a fireplace in each. There was a mini kitchen which we loved. Buffet breakfast was delicious with fresh berries much to my wife's delight. Evening meal at the restaurant was very good and nice size servings. All the staff was so fridndly and helpful. We enjoyed talking to the workers fixing the decorations. Christmas Market was the best kept secret. We talked to many of our friends and non knew about it and would like to go next year. Our room was an ideal location close to the lodge and at the entrance to the lights.

Our third visit to this wonderful place! This was a spur of the moment trip tied to a business trip to San Luis Obispo. Did not disappoint! Front desk staff is always exemplary! Family room unit is perfect for us! Walked down to downtown Cambria which is just .4 miles down the hill. Lovely time in the lounge for the evening. Highly recommend

I stayed in a bungalow with a large jacuzzi tub, which was wonderful! Rooms were clean and nicely furnished. There was a gas fireplace in the living room and one in the bedroom. Bed was very comfortable. Beautiful garden paths all around the property. Easy walk to the lodge. Great live music in the lounge in the evening. Good food in the lounge and a nice breakfast buffet in the restaurant.

Stayed at the lodge for their 2025 holiday light up and Christmas market. Absolutely beautiful. The room was very spacious and clean, with a fireplace and well stocked amenities. You can't beat the convenient location and the grounds are lovely for just taking a morning or evening stroll. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the staff was very courteous and helpful. They truly want your experience there to be a good one. Would love to go back again next year.
