    - The lowest price for a Cambria B and B. - No 2 day minimum stay on weekends like most other Cambria B and Bs. - 2 minute drive away from downtown Cambria. - Only 2 guest units – so privacy is practically guaranteed. - Greeted with a welcome set up of wine, cheeses, and crackers in our room. - Beautiful garden full of interesting knick knacks and sculptures. - Comfy beds, ample blankets and quilts. - Cool, artistic touches throughout the unit. - The elevated Continental Breakfast was satisfying: chicken apple sausages, fruits, oatmeal, home made granola, , muffins, pastry, fruit cup, coffee, purified water, and apple juice. - An amazing hostess (Mikki) who went out of her way to ensure that our stay was perfect. What a sweetheart. Vanessa and I fell in love with Mikki immediately. She treated us like family. We look forward to a return visit to Cambria, Mikki and the Gilded Nest!

    A true gem!

    I did not originally intend to book this particular home-stay because I wanted to return to a different place I'd previously stayed in on my last trip to Cambria 3 years ago. Well, it turned out to be a lucky happenstance that my original choice was not available and the innkeeper referred me to the Gilded Nest. Now, the next time I visit Cambria, I will have a very hard time deciding which place to book! The Gilded Nest is a true gem. I knew it within minutes of pulling into the drive and seeing for the first time the beautiful, lush garden setting. Upon meeting Nicki Bauer, our hostess, both my boyfriend and I were immediately charmed by her warm, welcoming demeanor. My high opinion was solidified when we first walked in to our accommodations. I booked the larger of the two suites and was thrilled with it on every level. Nicki has decorated the two-story mini-condo in a calming neutral color palette, with country-French furniture and delightful folk-art accents, many of her own creation. In addition, she added seasonal touches to the downstairs decor to celebrate Halloween. It got my boyfriend and me in the appropriate holiday "spirit". The bathroom, though small, was functional and spotlessly clean, which is a particular thing with me. The king-size bed was so comfortable, it made getting up and getting out in the mornings very tough! Nicki's enhanced continental breakfasts were delicious and more than enough food to tide us over 'til lunchtime. Her continental breakfasts are so ample, I wonder what the full breakfast is like! No doubt a feast! To sum up, Bauer's Gilded Nest will satisfy even the most particular and discerning guest. I know, because I'm such a person, with very high standards when it comes to where I stay. A perfect home-stay in a very convenient location to the town center, I wholeheartedly recommend it and will most definitely return.

    Our accommodations were outstanding and Mikki is helpful and charming - we stayed for only two days, but would have loved to stay longer. It's convenient to Hearst Castle, which was our initial reason for choosing Cambria, but we discovered many more reasons to spend time there, especially since the Gilded Nest is so comfortable and well located.

    My husband and I went for a short weekend getaway. We could not have been more surprised at how accomodating Mrs. Bauers was. Everything we needed was there, the room was fabulous and everything was super clean. Mrs. Bauers is a sweet and wonderful lady. The breakfast she served was appetizing. I will not forget going to this B&B for a long time and I'm sure we will try and be guests there again.
