Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This idyllic hilltop lodge is nestled on a picturesque plot in the heart of charming Cambria, minutes from all the Central Coast has to offer. Hearst Castle is a mere nine miles to the north, the beach is minutes away, and wine tasting has become a popular pastime in Cambria and the surrounding San Luis Obispo County.
- The world-class gardens evoke an exquisite English estate, with curving paths that meander amid rows of sculpted hedges, beds of vibrantly colored flowers, and stately Monterey pines. Couples get married in a lovely gazebo at one end, reached by an enchanting stepping-stone aisle surrounded by plush lawns.
- Follow with an al fresco reception in the enchanting Pavilion, or transition into the elegant Peacock Room, which is adorned with soft wall drapery and an abundance of pine wainscoting and trim. After the celebration, retire to the Lounge, where a fire blazes in the floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace, and chandeliers glow overhead.
