For much of the year, Cambria is cold -- windy and fogged in -- so staying on the beach is not always what one would expect in sunny California. I chose the McCall Farm because it's halfway between wine tasting along highway 46 and the beaches of San Simeon with easy access to restaurants in Cambria. As expected, when it was cold and foggy a few miles away, the farm was sunny and warm, snuggled up against the hills. The valley road that the farm is on is lined with big oak trees and gorgeous hundred year old farm houses fenced in with white picket and flowers. Very romantic and relaxing. You can easily spend an afternoon on the porch here sitting in the rockers and petting the cats or dogs (if you like, they're fine either way). It's worth it to schedule your day around having wine and cheese here! There are only two rooms but they are equally charming with fresh flowers, handmade soaps and gorgeous views of the gardens and hillsides. Our bed was really creaky and it made us self conscious, the only negative of the experience. On the other hand, their room rates are far more reasonable than other choices in the area with a more gourmet breakfast. The people in the other room were polite and interesting, great company. If you are uncomfortable with the intimacy of a B&B, this is not the place for you. The house and the setting themselves are intimate. We really enjoyed our hosts and appreciated that they have lived in this area so long. They pointed us to some out of the way activities and made dinner recommendations that were excellent. We took a long walk around the property with the dogs and got a great view of the valley. It's like staying with old friends. read more

I have no idea if this place is still open. We wanted to go to their U-pick farm. If you call the number on their website it goes to a spam number. If you call the number here on Yelp it goes to an unidentified mailbox. Their email address bouncers. And the other Yelp reviews here are around a decade old. Would not recommend for now, but seems like they went out of biz / someone prove me wrong. read more

Teri and Jack McCall run an exquisite B&B that is a family-owned, working organic farm. It is located on picturesque Santa Rosa Creek Road in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains five miles outside of Cambria. The entirety of this historic, meticulously maintained farmhouse, including its two second-floor guest rooms, is tastefully decorated and supremely comfortable. Outside, the fragrant flower gardens, welcoming front porch, and nearby citrus orchard are ideal places to explore on quiet mornings, sunny afternoons, or cool, moonlit evenings. The McCalls do an impressive yet unobtrusive job of caring for their visitors while also going about their professional and personal lives. You will feel privileged to spend a few days with them and their lovable assortment of pets - cats that will rest quietly on your lap on the porch and dogs who would like nothing more than take visitors on a tour of the hillside avocado fields that overlook the farmhouse. The farm provides organic produce to several of the best restaurants in the area (like Robin's and Madeline's). Jack and his sons also have stands at local farmers' markets. If you are lucky, they will send you home with a handful of freshly-picked goods or allow you to pack some in a picnic lunch, one best enjoyed after a Paso Robles wine-tasting. And Teri's breakfasts - savory frittatas, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, freshly-squeezed orange juice, steaming cups of hot coffee - are simply wonderful! This is hands-down one of the best B&Bs that my wife and I have ever visited across three continents (Europe, North America, Australia) and a superb weekend getaway or Big Sur road trip detour. Book two nights at a minimum! You will be sorry to leave any sooner! read more
