The Bonny Cottage By The Sea
A Cozy Early Cambria Cabin

The Bonny Cottage, one of Cambria’s original cabins, is poised high in a delightful area affectionately known as Happy Hill. Tranquil, private, surrounded by trees and gardens, it is less than a mile to the villages and to Moonstone Beach. Built in 1923, this cottage retains its original sense of charm and history, yet is thoughtfully appointed for a comfortable stay.
There are two bedrooms with wonderfully-restful beds (one king, one queen) and luxurious linens. There is a master bathroom as well as an ensuite powder room. Shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries and necessities are provided.
The peaceful, intimate living room features a gas fireplace and french doors that open to the sunlight (or starlight), with ocean views beyond. You will find a wide selection of books, as well as two cable TVs and a DVD player. We should mention that the decor changes to celebrate the seasons: autumn, winter, spring and summer, each in its turn.
There is a fully-stocked kitchen complete with glassware, dishes, cookware, and basic pantry supplies. Depending on the weather and your mood, there are also options for outdoor grilling and dining.
After spending your days exploring all that Cambria and California’s central coast have to offer, come home to read under the massive old oak, enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea in the gardens, watch the ocean change colors on the sunny deck or sit by the fire at night and listen to the waves...

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the cottage—it exceeded all my expectations. The charming ambiance, coupled with the candles illuminating at 8 PM, made me feel right at home. It truly was a magical experience, incredibly cozy, and impressively well-stocked. The massive tree in the backyard, adorned with moss, added to the enchanting atmosphere.

Perfect Getaway
We enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhood, the proximity to town and Moonstone beach, and the amenities at the cottage. The cottage is small, but had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying our coffee in the morning, and watching the sunset in the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy, peaceful cottage
My husband and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this place. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Lots of windows throughout the house to let in the ocean breezes. We especially liked sitting at the cozy kitchen table for our morning coffee and breakfast while looking out at the trees and flowers. The kitchen was well stocked with most anything you need to prepare meals by simply adding your ingredients of choice. There was not a dishwasher but we don’t mind washing dishes. We felt like we stepped back in time enjoying the antiques and old photos on the walls of couples and friends enjoying themselves. There were lots of books and movies to watch if you desired to do so. We weren’t far from shopping and places to eat and only about 15 minutes from Hearst Castle. We would love to stay here again!

Charming Historical Cottage
This historical cottage is bright and comfortable. The antiques and old photos of people having fun add to the charm of the place. There are two decks to enjoy with a distant view of the ocean and a front yard that was frequented by groups of quail. You are walking distance to town and the beach but you do need to walk up a steep hill going back. The cottage is well stocked and has everything you may need. This is a real gem!

Happy Hill Cottage
Although the cottage was very clean. It definitely needed some maintenance done. There was no propane in the BBQ tank. The oven was in very poor working order making it hard to put a meal together. The whole was just a bit tired.

Wonderful getaway in historic cabin!
We loved staying at the cabin on Happy Hill. It was so fun to see all the pictures around the cabin. We especially loved seeing the photo of the original owners. We loved that it was a cabin built back in the 1920's and wondered if it had been one of the Hearst hunting cabins. We loved our ocean view deck and the short walk to Moonstone beach.

Just right!
This cozy older house was exceptionally clean and accommodating with everything we needed for ourselves, and our pet! The yard and deck expand the living spaces, and are warm and welcoming . A short walk from town and the beach and the hiking trails of the nature préserve it is a great base camp for walkers and runners.

Amazing cozy cottage with amazing ocean view
My sister and I have rented many places over the years although not in Cambria. This was the best rental by far. It was the perfect size for my sister and I. It was the best decorated by far (although that's an "extra" ) it was so enjoyable. The candles on timers that went on in the evenings added to the cozy feel and such a cute idea! The 2 different seating areas in the back of the cottage ...One under and "Oprah like" tree and the other with a view of the trees, garden and ocean. Then the third area, the deck with a great view of the ocean which is surprisingly close to view from being in Happy Hill and being able to hear the roar of the ocean was fabulous. A huge important piece for us was the very complete and informative Welcome binder that we found to be fantastic!!! Someone took the time to do that WELL!!!! The framed photos of a couple through out the cottage was another detail we really enjoyed!! We wished that there was more information about the history of the cottage and if the couple in the photos were connected to the cottage. All the extras in the bathrooms and the kitchen which are available to the renters was amazing (we usually bring everything as cabins/cottages are NOT so well appointed!!!! We truly felt like cherished guests in a family's home....just without the family ....although we would have loved to have shared time with the couple in the framed photos! Oh, my only suggestion would be to add blackout curtains to the 2nd bedroom for people who are not early risers and are awakened as the sunrises and the room get bright...just makes it harder to relax and sleep in especially when you're on holiday!!! Overall, we will definitely come back here when we can!

Loved the home, the property, the fact I could hear and see the ocean. Decorated so lovely. Comfortable beds... I even slept in which is rare for me these days! The only downside was the neighbors barking dog right near our bedroom window but luckily that didn't go on for terribly long.

What a fabulous experience we had at this property!
We will definitely stay here again! We were greeted in the morning by the sound of crashing waves, deer and wild turkeys! What a lovely way to enjoy your morning coffee!The house was clean and very homey and the neighborhood was quiet and quaint. We are city dwellers, so being in Cambria, at this property was the perfect way unwind. The bed was very comfy! We were able to bring our dog and she loved roaming the yard. Each morning we took a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the fresh air and calming ocean breeze. In the evening we enjoyed a glass of wine on the patio while relaxing to the sound of the crashing ways. We had a late checkin.... no problem! Instructions were easy to follow and they even left a flashlight so we were able to read thre checkin instructions. Exceptionally nice experience, feeling as if you're far away in the mountains with the luxury of the ocean within walking distance.

Great cozy house for one or two people
This house is well appointed...the kitchen has everything, there are books available to read, the television is great. There is a nice little patio in front that great to sit in. The place is clean. The only drawback is that the place is small...it is absolutely ideal for one person or one couple. We had three in our party and found ourselves constantly bumping into each other in the kitchen. Since the place is small, sounds made by other people are easily heard...everyone should try to have the same bedtime! I liked the location of the place...it was so quiet...no traffic sounds during the night! I slept very well. But if you are a walker, you should realize the place is up on a hill...thus, if you want to walk to town it is all downhill...and then uphill on the way back...it's about a mile away from the beginning of town. We plan to go back but next time it will be just two people!

We would stay again!
With just a bit of cleaning the walls and musty aroma this place was tremendous. Extremely well accommodating, great kitchen, small but efficient bathrooms, best of all are the surrounding gardens. The neighbor was working on the fence and removed part of the shared fence so we had a bit of a problem there, but as for the photos of the place it was better than expected. Simple, cosy and nice little family touches. Nothing fancy but I felt as though we would like the owners.

Cute cottage with fenced yard, dog friendly
Very comfy space. Master bed was very good. Only lacking in space in the kitchen but we ate out mostly. Streaming on the TV's (smart tv's) would be a nice feature. Also suggested to Property Management that a good fry pan for eggs would be appreciated, cast iron or non stick. The yard was fabulous for our dogs, could let them out without having to be on a leash for their morning constitutionals. Also a great place to hang out under the huge oak tree. The sunset/ocean view patio was great also. Will be back!
