    The pathway from the street to the black barn/ Squibb Houses
    Katy J.

    This was our second time staying at the Squibb Houses. We stayed in the Black Barn, Maple Room. My husband and I absolutely loved it! It's a cozy, welcoming, beautiful BnB in charming Cambria. It's in the middle of the downtown so you can walk to everything. The garden surrounding it is gorgeous and ethereal. Tiffany, the hostess, is a gem! She is warm, friendly, and helpful. Also a great cook! The breakfast spread is delectable. In the evening, there are cookies and tea available in the lobby area with a warm fireplace and big windows to view the beautiful garden through. We HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a charming and memorable getaway that is relaxing and rejuvenating.

    If you value authentic experiences in historic places the Squibb house must be on your list when you are in mid coast california. The ambiance is quiet and the rooms tasteful and decorated with historic photos or early days. The in town location means you can walk everywhere. You won't be disappointed.

    The bed was a little soft, the windows need blackout curtains, and an air conditioner or ceiling fan, but the space was immaculate and welcoming. The Bed and Breakfast host meets and greets each person in a super friendly manner. The welcome snacks and breakfasts were excellent.

    Absolutely loved staying here! Check in and out was swift as it's just self service. I stayed here for my 4 year anniversary in the Parlor Room and enjoyed every minute of it. The garden out front was lovely and any staff we approached were friendly. They have lots of options for breakfast and will leave afternoon treats! Water is available in the kitchenette at all times too. I also enjoyed the amish furniture (sold next door). Remember to bring earplugs too as the walls are thin and you can hear every creek and passerby. Looking to stay here again in the future!

    My wife and i are really enjoying ourselves at the Black Barn, a newly appointed Bed and Breakfast house next to the Squibb House which is owned and operated by the same owner. The Squibb Houses have the Squibb House, the Black Barn, and an Amish Shop adjacent to one another. So clean, peaceful, and simple. We had a wonderful time here!! The breakfast and coffee was so good and Bruce, the owner, joined us and the other guests too for breakfast each morning. The wood that you find all around the barn from the ceiling to the floor is from the owner's great grandfather's barn built in the 1870's in Pennsylvania. It is quite stunning to think of the history and the labor involved to accomplish this feat. And, if that's not enough, the long table in the Black Barn where we stayed is a gorgeous, repurposed carpenter's work bench from this actual property also from the late 1800's! When you stay here, you will find yourself in a peaceful, unique, and clean atmosphere with a friendly and attentive owner and staff. Even the furniture is made by Amish craftsman and you can buy what you see in the shop next door. If I could give extra stars, I would!

    We stopped in last year and our friends wanted to check it out also. My friend just loved the hand made rocking chairs especially one that just stood out. I can't recall the name of the hardwood, but these bent hardwood Amish rocking chairs are just beautiful. The craftsmanship is incredible and well worth the price for a swivel chair for $595.00. Bruce the owner took us next door to the B&B and gave us a tour of the old B&B built in 1877 and the newer B&B which is adjacent. He told us the history of his great grandfathers barn in PA which he had deconstructed and had the wood milled and trucked out here to use in the newer B&B. We will be back to spend the night here.

LOVE the Aesop products in the room!!! a few downside during my stay were: the few times i went to the front desk, the "out of office" sign was up each time. i wanted to rent a bike to bike around the town, no one was around to assist. i waited about 10-15m each time. they have a fire pit that was on the entire time. i heard they provide s'more kits, but we were not provided with any. there isnt really any pet relief area on site. also, all units do not have AC, only fans. i had no service while i was there. i literally was on SOS. i actually loved it. don't worry, there is wifi avail! i would def book white water again!

    For my boyfriend's birthday weekend, I decided to book J Patrick House and Inn. I was really…read moreplanning on giving this place a 5 star review but after the awful experience here on our last day, I decided to take 2 stars off. Let me start with the positives. Before our arrival we were given a code to enter the living space and our room, so it was very convenient to have such an easy check-in with no hassle. Plus was a warm welcome from Nana, the Inn's pet cat. She was really cute and friendly. The room itself was cozy and patios enough for the two of us. The room was spotless clean and loved how spacious the bathroom was, and how comfortable the bed was as well. As far as the complimentary breakfast we received. It was okay. It was a quiche, yogurt with fruit, a muffin, sausages, and orange juice, on both days. It was left by our door around 9 am the two days we were there. Now, for the negatives. Parking spaces are limited and each room doesn't have a guaranteed parking spot. They have misleading information on their website. If you come back after 8 pm, forget about finding parking there. You will need to park in Cambria Inn, their sister property, and walk up a very dark and dangerous road back up to the Inn, which is unsafe! When I let their Inn know about this parking situation, the night before, I couldn't reach anyone after 8 pm, so I was told to call Cambria Inn. The person who picked up was extremely rude, and told me to park anywhere there was parking, after I explained there were no spots available. Finally we ended up parking at the Cambria Inn. The next day, I let the J. Patrick house know about this parking situation and someone over text got super defensive and was trying to send me screenshots of there being parking, when clearly there was none when we arrived, and kept arguing with me about it, which left a really bad taste in my mouth, and in stress I ended up leaving my super expensive jacket, which I still haven't heard about from the Inn. It's unfortunate that this situation happened because I was really hoping that we would have a better ending to a special weekend! I will not be coming back here again!

    I just love this place! Stayed here twice now and I think it's my new go to place in cambria. I've…read morestayed so many places in cambria, I come here at least once a year. Very quiet, beautiful, and safe.. staying here alone is great! Comfortable, clean, easy.

You had to go channel by channel and hope to find it out of many channels. By the way, the remote they gave You wasn't a Spectrum remote? We even went to the office for help. They couldn't make it work. I wasn't here to watch TV of course but When it's dark, breezy and in the 50ies outside a nice sitcom before bed is sometimes nice. 3. This morning we went to get a cup of coffee at 8:05am. Coffee is supposed to be available @ 7am. Not open. 5 other guests were waiting patiently. Could we ask the office? No it wasn't open either. It finally opened at 8:10am. 4. Oh by the way, bring your sunglasses for Your room. The only lighting is spot lights in the ceiling. Nothing you can control from bed side. Were there any dimmers to adjust the lighting down from solar flare to reasonable. Nope. Just the palm of my hand or sunglasses. Again By the way, the Cambria area is awesome with some great wholesome dining experiences. Linn's and Robin's. Wow! We've stayed along Moonstone over the years. Just never @ the Cambria Shores Inn. Guess what? Never again because there are lots of choices along Moonstone. I'd like to rate it a 1 star. But, Mother Nature helped take the feeling of total disappointment away. Every time We strolled down the Moonstone board walk across the street it melted Our disappointment away. For a while. What a beautiful Ocean front.

This property is owned by a company that owns at least four other properties on Moonstone Beach, and shares with them poor customer service. Examples from a recent stay include Wi-Fi that was frequently nonfunctional, and when complaints were made, we were told either that the problem couldn't be fixed, or couldn't be fixed until the next day because no maintenance staff were available. The rooms, lack decor and character, although the bed was very comfortable. When we asked that the waste baskets be emptied at the beginning of the day, we were told that since we did not make that request the night before, it could not be accommodated because of insufficient custodial staff. When I made this request to the manager on duty, she gave me a look as though I had asked her to donate a kidney. We emptied the baskets ourselves. The property has two fire pits, both of which were essentially nonfunctional. Also, the pool was closed. When they ran our credit card on check-in, they actually immediately charged the entire fee for the stay at once. This is an unusual practice, since most similar properties assess the actual charges for the room at checkout. If you were looking for a place to sleep, steps away from the boardwalk on Moonstone Beach, this will fit the bill, but there are a number of better options steps away from this property.

There are also stairs taking you down to the beach. The Sea Chest Oyster bar is super popular with people lining up to get in long before it opens. We were able to get in about an hour after we put our name down and the food was delicious. Cash only. There are other restaurants within walking distance and one night we ate in town at the Sow's Ear, which was also delicious. Would happily return to Moonstone Landing!
