Description
As you settle into the relaxed setting of this hilltop lodge, it’s hard to believe that it was originally built in 1927 for an eccentric European baroness who wanted her own personal resort within visiting distance of Hearst Castle. Unfortunately, her plans for an opulent American lifestyle were cut short by her husband back in Europe, who demanded that she choose between him and her lodge. She chose the baron, and sold her home to the Cambria Development Company, which used the lodge as a gathering place for prospective buyers of local land. They added over two dozen log cabins to the property and created the comfortable, woodsy atmosphere that you experience today.
Although the front of the Main Lodge resembles a huge, modern-day log cabin, the grounds behind it bring to mind a lovely English garden. Rows of sculpted hedges separated by paths, bushes and beds of vibrantly colored flowers meander among Monterey pines. Next to the garden, a broad lawn serves as both ceremony and reception site for outdoor weddings. Couples get married in a white lattice gazebo at one end, and dance on a patio in front of a covered bandstand at the other; the entire expanse of grass in between is turned into an al fresco dining room filled with linen-covered tables.
Indoor receptions are held in the Peacock Ballroom. With wall coverings of rosy beige, it derives additional warmth from an abundance of pine wainscoting and trim. Other pluses are a high ceiling, movable dance floor, adjustable lighting and a built-in, granite-topped pine bar. After the celebration, you and your guests can chat it up in the Lounge, where a fire blazes in the floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace, and chandeliers glow overhead. If you’re fortunate enough to be here for a few days, there’s a world of things to do outside the Lodge, too. Cambria itself is a quaint village, noted for its local artists and craftspeople and filled with shops, galleries and boutiques. Hearst Castle is a mere eight miles to the north, the beach is minutes away, and wine tasting has become a popular pastime in surrounding San Luis Obispo County. Alas, the baroness may have left the country so quickly that she never had time to truly enjoy either her lodge or her surroundings. We suggest you don’t make the same mistake: when you get married here, plan to stay long enough to take full advantage of all this friendly, family-oriented lodge and the Central Coast have to offer.
