The Big House at Stepladder Ranch offers the unique opportunity to escape into the hills of Cambria. The property and home invite you to rediscover the joys of relaxation in open spaces with features such as the open concept living dining and kitchen along with 740 acres to explore. The gentle rolling hills with views of the coastline provide the perfect backdrop for unwinding and enjoying a genuine getaway. With spacious front and back patios, you will have privacy, peace and quiet out in the country.

The layout and features of the home are perfect for any group. With 5 bedrooms and 4 baths this property can accommodate friends, family, or work groups with a variety of shared and private spaces. The large living and dining spaces invite you to gather around the fireplace or at the farm style dining table. The chef’s kitchen has all you need for preparing your meals with high end appliances, dual oven, and ample space for multiple cooks. Your group will also love the large game room with billiards, bumper pool, and ping pong. You will have a ton of space to enjoy the people you're with in a spectacular location with hiking and exploring right out your front door.

The South Master Bedroom features a King size bed, and en suite master bath.
The East King room features a King size bed

The Office also acts as a bonus sleeping space and features a sleeper sofa.

The home is in a rural location, so we recommend getting groceries in advance in Cambria since you'll want to settle in once you arrive after your drive through the country. This is a private ranch off a long, rural country road and an unpaved driveway, but it's so worth the adventure (a standard car will make it just fine). The home is about 15 minutes from Cambria and 45 minutes from San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.

There is no cell service at the home or on the property. Wifi is available for wifi calling.
This home does not have air conditioning.
10pm sound ordinance enforced.
Absolutely NO fireworks

The artistic town of Cambria is famous for its dramatic coastal landscape, nested where ocean meets pine forests.

We were a group of 15 from all over the country, including 8 adults and 7 granddaughters aged 14-24. We have stayed in many VRBO properties for our reunions but all agreed this was pretty special. The central coast of CA is just plain gorgeous, and we got to enjoy the views and sunshine and access to the coast, with Hearst Castle, Cambria and San Luis Obispo close by. The house has AMAZING views - morning fogs, beautiful sunny days, gorgeous sunsets, unbelievable stars. We were on the patio as much as possible. The indoor common areas were wonderful - the kitchen is exactly what you want for 15 people. We could all be in one place but it didn’t feel crowded. The house was clean and comfortable and modern - we were able to do a little laundry when needed, and never missed AC or cell service (the WIFI was great). We loved being on a working farm - the cows were hilarious companions. Much commentary on the road in other reviews. To get to those views, it is a bit of a drive up - but if you go slowly, it wasn’t dangerous, just feels dramatic to us city folk, perhaps? Otherwise, we really loved our stay and felt like the management team was helpful and very communicative.

The minute we stepped into the property our shoulders relaxed and we honestly never wanted to leave. We brought up all our groceries for our family and did not leave for the first three days of our stay! The sunsets are breathtaking and the morning sounds of cows "mooing" was a delight. The game room kept everyone happy. We hope to stay here again in the future. Also highly recommend the creamery tour ( need reservations)...the goats brought smiles out of all of us and the cheese is amazing to take back and drink a bottle of rose. Thank you for the honestly best 5 full days of family time and memories that were made.

Stepladder ranch is amazing and the big house is large enough for a family of 16+ lots of open space room to play games run around huge kitchen. Our only biggest complaint the whole time was that there were only seven forks in the entire home and after we checked out they brought an abundance of forks but during the stay they did not bring any forks which was frustrating but beyond that the house is great location is super fun. The video of the home showed a hot tub so we all brought suits to go in the hot tub and there was no hot tub.

This property is AMAZING!! While the first trip up the hill was scary…we all agreed it was well worth it. The home is perfect for a large group, the view was spectacular, and everything in the home was high quality making it a pleasure to stay in and cook, play family games, and make memories. I am already looking forward to making another trip!!

We stayed the weekend with our large family. It was perfect. We did not mind the drive up the hill and were appropriately advised of the remoteness.

Steppladder Ranch is an amazing place to say for those with large groups needing plenty of room. The accommodations are excellent with plenty of space to spread out. The views in the evening as the sun sets towards the coast cannot be beat!

Perfectly removed from the fast pace of the pre-holiday week, but not too far to make a run to town anything inconvenient. The home felt like a castle in the clouds. We loved it!
