    A cozy getaway

    December 05, 2012

    My husband and I stayed at the Bauers' Gilded Nest Artist's Studio for 9 days over Thanksgiving week, hoping for a comfortable and quiet place where we could spend some time reading and writing in between nature walks and sunshine. Micki's great cooking and warm hospitality made our stay easy, cozy, productive, and perfect! We enjoyed Micki's homemade continental breakfasts. For lunches and dinners, we alternately tried a few of the local dining options and prepared simple meals at home for ourselves, as the room came equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, large toaster oven, and suitably sized pots, pans, and utensils for cooking. This made our stay both more economical and relaxed. I would recommend the Artist's Studio to any couple looking for a romantic getaway. It's an absolutely cozy and charming place to spend time with a dear one.

    Our elegant "Elegant Suite" stay!

    October 22, 2012

    We stayed for 1 night in the Elegant Suite, which was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, had every amenity we could need, including a spare toothbrush (which we needed since we forgot ours!). The owner, Mikki, is super helpful and makes sure that your every need and comport were attended to. The price was also very reasonable for everything you get and for the amount of attention and service that comes with the room. Thanks Mikki!

    We had a great time in Cambria and our stay at Bauer's Guilded Nest was lovely. We were so happy to find a last minute B&B available. We appreciated Mikki's care and concern for a special needs diet and the Cottage Suite was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. We loved watching the hummingbirds and enjoyed the peace and quite for our weekend get-away.

    What a lovely way to spend our anniversary!!!

    October 09, 2012

    This is an amazing "homestay" experience. The place is immaculate and as charming as your hostess, Mikki. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with all homemade goodies. We choose the "light" option but we were well sated with wonderful muffins and a fabulous fruit, yogurt and granola dish. Mikki knows lots about Cambria and was more than willing to share lots of interesting tidbits. The accommodations were also peaceful and quiet. Enjoy!!

    Bauers' Gilded Nest

    August 18, 2012

    From the moment we pulled into the driveway, I knew we were in for a delightful surprise. As we entered into our cottage, our jaws almost dropped as we absorbed the charm of this place. Every single piece of furniture seemed to complement each other creating such a quaint environment. Mikki introduced herself right away and made us feel absolutely welcome. She offered her valuable service and she quickly made us aware of all the activities we could do in the beautiful town of Cambria. Breakfast the next morning was an absolute delight and it totally exceeded our expectations. I was quite disappointed when it was time to check out as I didnt want this marvelous vacation to come to a halt. The memories we shared in this beautiful inn will remain in our hearts. Thank you Mikki for all the Love you put into your work!!!

    Love this gem!

    July 24, 2012

    My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at Bauers' Gilded Nest this past weekend and we absolutely loved it! You couldn't ask for a more gracious hostess than Mikki. From our initial phone call I could tell she really cares about treating her guests. We had a lengthy conversation about what, if any, dietary restrictions we might have, so I figured the breakfasts would be good, but they were actually superb. Then, when she sent her confirmation email, she made sure to include her dining recommendations, which came in incredibly handy, as well as specific directions that Google Maps doesn't provide, so we wouldn't get lost. The property is quiet and charming. We stayed in the cottage accommodation, which is filled with great little homey touches that make it so warm and inviting. My favorite is the mason jar display filled with paint brushes, pencils, etc, in case an artistic mood strikes. The bed was so comfortable I felt like I was being hugged all night. I cannot recommend this place enough if you're going to Cambria. You will not be disappointed in this nest.
