About this house rental
This delightful cottage in the pines offers quiet and solitude along with the beauty and romance of California's central coast. The stained glass window's feature of the California Poppy hints at the whimsy inside. A combination of rich reds, greens and warmth of wood throughout draws you into the cabin's living room. Envision a blazing fire as you wonder where that book is that you have been meaning to read. The kitchen invites you in with colorful tile and open floor plan. An upward glance reveals a large loft bedroom. Once in the bedroom you wander out the French doors to the deck beyond. Go through the closet in the master bedroom to get to a studio room with a trundle bed and additional deck. Surrounded by trees, you can gaze up at the clear coastal night while the distant sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep. Look for the family of deer that makes a morning ritual of wandering through the yard. The 'Poppy Cottage' will have you falling in love with the charm of our wonderful coastal village. Tot#601110

This is a lovely house with lots of light and a great kitchen that is well stocked with all of the tools that you will need to make great meals. The back yard is tiny and very shaded but a great place for dogs to nose around and it has a great gas grill. We found the sleeping arrangements a bit difficult, the bedroom on the ground floor is RIGHT NEXT TO the living room so if some is going to bed early, expect to be very quiet the rest of the night. The upstairs primary bedroom is open to the living room below so that too hears every sound from below. The beds are comfortable with lots of pillows and extra if needed. We did not use the pull out bed in the room attached to the primary bedroom but that is probably the nicest in the house with lots of light, a lovely balcony and nicely decorated. We visited in early July and it was very cool with a lot of fog, the fireplace and Centeral heating were very appreciated.

We loved most everything about this home except that the upstairs shower had no instructions about how to work it and we weren't provided with coffee. It was during the Thanksgiving holidays so we couldn't contact the property managers and that was of some concern. We tried calling and got no response back on our cell phones. But we did enjoy our stay and the balconies were so much fun to sit out on and we really loved the house.

The rental was everything I expected. It was in a perfect location in the hills. The beach &nd town were 5 minutes away. The cabin is well kept and very comfortable. We loved how the deer & wild turkeys were in the front yard daily. The wife, my daughter & I all had a great stay. Thank yu & hoping to return in the future.

This is one of our favorite places to stay when we visit Cambria. It's generally above the fog, with many places to walk in the neighborhood. The location makes it convenient to much in the area.

What a wonderful home! we loved our time together in this quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was great, and loved the master bath shower!
Thank you for making this home available to us!
My parents had called San Siemon home for over 20 years and both just recently passed. This time in Cambria was precious to me and my girls as we remembered our treasured times with my parents. While we have lost their presence with us physically, being at the place they loved helped comfort us and made us feel close to them again.

The cottage was beautiful, well stocked and comfortable. There is a small pull out dining table and a lovely patio table and chairs under the trees. The auxiliary room is a great den/spare sleeping area but it was a little too cool for the baby in March. Wild turkey and deer passed through the yard multiple times a day. A pleasant five blocks from the trails and coastal views of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. There is a nice path through the wooded Strawberry Canyon nearby but use care, we found a tick afterwards; we always check. Great restaurants—Robbins, Hidden Kitchen, and The Spot. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The Poppy Cottage has lots of charm! It was very clean and well appointed, sits back in a very quiet neighborhood in the forest, with daily visits from wild turkeys wandering the neighborhood. Well appointed kitchen, and one upstairs large bedroom with spacious walk in shower, and a small downstairs bedroom with a comfy mattress. The kitchen was very nice with newer appliances. The house sits on a steep driveway incline, but has room for two smaller cars to sit on flat ground at top of hill in garage and adjacent to garage. Very nice cottage!

My husband and I spent 8 nights at the cottage. It’s a fun, quirky layout and very liveable. We stayed in the upstairs loft bedroom. The bed was very comfortable. The room adjoins the bathroom with separate toilet and sink area. There is a large shower that had plenty of heat and water pressure. The nozzle is a little hard to pull out but we figured it out.
There is also a secret reading room/daybed with tv adjacent to the 2nd balcony, which is accessed through the walk in closet.
The kitchen was easy to work in and fairly well stocked. Just remember to bring coffee and filters as there were none on hand.
We enjoyed daily walks through the peaceful quiet neighborhood. The streets are lined with mature pines and California live oak trees. Flocks of wild turkeys, deer and gray squirrels were everywhere.
We chose to drive 5 minutes to the Fiscalini ranch for ocean walks along the boardwalk, parked off of Windsor south of highway 1. Moonstone beach and of course the charming town area is only a 5 minute drive also.
We love Cambria and would stay at the Poppy cottage again if the opportunity arises.

Our family has stayed at the Poppy house numerous times. All enjoy the property and the kitchen so well equipped. The patio area very nice to enjoy the outdoors watching the wildlife too. The management company is very good with all arrangements. The many times we booked with them never a problem.

a bit worn around the edges - no dinning table - strange up-stairs configuration - outdoor furniture needed to be cleaned .

This was our second stay at Poppy Cottage. Great little home and a nice space for a small family or couple. The home sits in the middle of the property far enough from neighboring homes, making for a very quiet relaxing get-a-way.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Poppy Cottage, it was very restful relaxing except in a beautiful tree and sun locatio. We especially enjoyed the showers, the light coming through the trees and the small design details throughout the house. An additional feature was the daily visitation of deer and wild turkeys. We would happily come again especially if their were coupons or any discounts available

Great, quiet location in the woods with deer and turkeys. Walkable distance to Fiscalini trails (~0.75mi), short drive to downtown. As a couple, we really enjoyed the house. It has a unique layout, with loft main bedroom overlooking the living room. There's another upstairs living room off the bedroom, leading to a second 2nd floor balcony. Kitchen is among the best-equipped of rentals we've stayed in. Took us a while to find the pull-out dining table, which probably isn't great for a large group, but fine for 2-3 people.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Comfortable but could use a slight update and much better instructions and attention to detail from the management company in helping to navigate various aspects of the "cabin" (e.g., it took us a while to find the dining table - it retracts into the kitchen counter; there are four remotes for the TV downstairs and three for the one in the second floor with unhelpful handwritten instructions and no TV access - I have the same system and it works with one remote; the vintage 1960's thermostat cannot be set at an accurate temperature control) These (with the exception of the lack of cable access) were minor inconveniences, but they can be addressed with little effort or cost for the benefit of future guests. We enjoy 4-5 stays a year at home-share venues and the instructions and the attention to detail are typically much better. We enjoyed the stay, nevertheless, with the help of glorious weather and the beautiful California coast

My wife, her sister and I enjoyed our stay at this location. It’s close to town, away from tourists and close to nature. We were surprised to see turkeys running around the neighborhood. The cabin is set back and high from the street with a very nice view of the surrounding areas. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking amenities. I enjoyed the get away/tv room upstairs. We’d like to come back to this location soon.

This place fits our needs perfectly. We were glad to see updates have been made since we stayed in 2019. The slide series that includes the green couch is not up to date. There is now a nice leather couch in the living room which feels much cleaner than the old green one, a couple other newer chairs and a nice new pull out couch in the bonus room where the day bed was. The deer and turkeys are a lot of fun to watch come through the yard and the property is beautiful with plenty of trees and even a couple tire swings. The kitchen has a great assortment of cooking materials and spices, oil, etc. Sitting on one of the decks at night watching the sun go down with a glass of wine is a real treat.

Very relaxing in the pines but convenient for trips to town and the dog beach at Cayucos! Only improvement could be if the fro it was fenced for the dogs and if the grill was bit rusty.
Spacious house well maintained fabulous shower in the master. Nice fireplace.
We managed with the two of us but if you have a family or large group there is no dining table or eating area inside.
A very pleasant visit we would come back.

Positives: Quiet neighborhood, very comfortable beds, great location, driving distance to town, walking distance to beautiful seaside trails. Lots of wildlife. Easy to get to wineries/tourist spots, but is very enjoyable just sitting at home in the woods.
Negatives: Very small dining room table fits no more than 3 people, carpets appear old/in need of replacement/deep cleaning
Overall: I would absolutely stay here again! It was very enjoyable!
